I think that the reason most people don't like or want to smoke it is because of the culture behind it.
When you see a bunch of gross ass hippies doing it, it kind of ruins it's image. Lol
I smoke it every once and awhile, like when I have a really shitty day. And I hate rap, hippies, and modern day pot culture. I just smoke it to relax and to just get away from it all for a few hours.
And believe me when I say that Alcohol is MUCH worse. Weed makes me happy and hungry. Alcohol makes me hateful, angry, and sick. So I find it strange that Alcohol is legal while Weed isn't.
