Drug's ruin lives, not just the people that take them but those around them as well. I don't judge, no one can influence a person with what to do with there lives. But even taking mild drugs can and often does lead to people getting onto harder drugs and in the end it all spirals down to the gutter.
No one should put any poison in there body, none of it, drugs, drink, smoking none of it will lead to any joy, happiness or success in a persons life. Being healthy and constructive are the only tools towards being happy. People ruin there lives for something that has no importance and no value.
If I see someone who is a drug addict I want to help them, because more often than not there are suffering and all of them started out thinking it was just a laugh and they could stop any time. I know it is a cliche but people need to just say no.
As for "weed" as people call it, I know it has strong medicinal promises but other than that and it makes you do very stupid things I know little of its dangers over drink, so I will judge it next to booze, neither will do a person any good, it brings nothing but misery and I have lost family members to booze so I know.
sadly its very common here where i live high school students take drugs and same for college most of em are already addicted recently one of old high school frnd died becoz of this
Habitual drug users tend to be stereotyped as braggadocios, uneducated, and dangerous people. I know people who drugs on a weekly basis, and they're like any other average person. They go to school, have a job, they do well in school and good grades, the pursue a life time career and they have social lives outside of drugs, etc.
Oh brother...
It's not a matter of judging people or not, it's a matter of their health and lifestyle. Trust me, with peer pressure nowadays, do you think drugs can be used properly at this point? If someone needs some drugs to enhance their daily productivity, seeks help through a doctor. He'll give them the necessary amount of drugs, not through influences of a few friends whom may not care about one another well-being. Stress, or dizzy and all, there's variety of medicines; both modern & traditional, that capable enough to replace the illegal circulating weeds/drugs' so-called good effects etc.
A lot of it depends on different areas and their culture. Japan, for example, their government is very harsh on drugs to the point where locals that are caught with possession of 1 joint marijuana face 5 years prison sentence with some hard labor sprinkled on top. Luckily, tourists just get booted out of the country for that infraction.
Yet in America, the line between "recreational drug user" and "patient" is slowly becoming more blurred. Doctors prescribe medicines that have stronger effects than substances like Marijuana or Alchohol, yet they are prescribed extremely heavily, at mass volumes, under the pretense of medicine... which makes it okay.

, 70 percent of Americans are on 1 prescription drug and about half of them are on two. Whether it's straight up vicodon or one of the many antidepressant medications out there that claim to work so well, Americans are getting high one way or another.
On to California's Medical Marijuana policy. The 420 bill was made (at first) to treat the pain and suffering of serious diseases like AIDS, Chroms Disease, Alzheimer's, or cancer. But it was later found out that Marijuana's THC and CBD treats symptoms of all kinds, from Insomnia, to lack of appetite, pain/migraines, and even arthritis. The list of symptoms that medical marijuana helps treat keeps growing as medical institutions continue their research on the plant. Now medical doctors prescribe cannabis more openly than they used to. Pretty much anyone can get one if they have $50 dollars and a decent excuse.
Now, is Marijuana for everyone? NOPE. It won't magically turn your life into a big party and it certainly won't help with working out or desire to be more active. If you give weed to someone who's a loser, he's gonna keep being a loser. The drug can't change people for the better magically, yet at the same time, the drug also doesn't go around ruining peoples' lives. We live in a society where most people are high anyway, it's just a matter of what substance everyone is on. The one important thing that matters is, regardless of your substance of choice, can you maintain your every-day responsibilities while keeping a balance of your medication(s)?
With a background substance like weed, it's relatively easy for me to live my life.
