ok..let me start off by saying..weed does more than just give you the munchies and the giggles. It's not so much that you get hungrey as it is, you appreciate the taste of food more, it "evolves you spiritually" in a sense. It's those people who get high or drunk and do stupid shit like light their arms on fire that give marijuana a bad name. It all depends on the person and when I smoke I do it for a couple of reasons. For one, I love music and I couldn't live without it. Marijuana changes the way it sounds you pick up on everything that the band is doing and you can hear exactly what they're trying to say. Writing my own music becomes more of an art than work. It's fun to just go for a walk around the town. You see everything, I don't just mean you see a tree...I mean you SEE the tree. You can feel your strides as you take a step and every time you put your foot down, you can feel that small tremor it makes. Movies are also fun to watch, especially those like the matrix with deep plots. So many ideas rush through your brain and you easily pick up on all the little hints throught the movie. Now i'm not saying that you need to have marijuana to see or hear or feel any of these, to be honest I can without marijuana, through meditation and the likes, or just being sober it is possible. What I'm trying to say is, don't bash marijuana and don't make fun at those who use it. It's not a bad thing, the only problem with it is that it's not socially accepted.
Alcohol and marijuana do about the same damage, but wait a minute, marijuana is illegal where as alcohol isn't.. They give out medicinal marijuana in Canada, you don't see doctors perscribing medicinal alcohol, so why is everyone so against pot?
ps. marijuana does not dumb you down and wreck your brain. It does have an affect on one's memory but that goes away along with the high. Those who do appear "stupid" after smoking for a while must not be very smart in the first place.
pps. I meant no offence by any of the above, this includes the "ps."
Edit: One more thing, Marijuana doesn't effect driving skills, the paranoia of being caught actually improves how you drive, you go the speed limit, obey traffic signals, and you sure as hell don't run over kids riding their bikes*
