Almost every teenager and even early 20 something wants to smoke some weed. I don't think we can really fight that, and I don't think we should. It is enough to promote health and make sure young men understand that smoking is unhealthy. It is unhealthy for the lungs and body in general, of course, but weed is also unhealthy for the mind.
This is just a cultural problem. In a proper culture, after some experimenting in youth, most normal, functional men should lose interest in weed and most other drugs as they transition into adulthood. IMO, having serious interest in weed much into your 20s is pretty cringe. Even really past college graduation age (i.e. 22 or 23).
I did have some good times smoking with friends as a kid so I can't lecture an 18 year old not to go party or whatever, but it is not really *that* fun. I have not had marijuana in any form now in almost 10 years, I cant even remember a date to be honest. Prior to that, I might have a little bit here and there split out by months at a time with none. I personally don't believe people who smoke weed regularly into adulthood are actually enjoying it. Not the way teenagers do. They just have shit lives they need to escape, and the weed does not really work. Other drugs don't work either.

having any interest in weed even when you are young is cringe and gay. you should be out doing things, not being a bored lazy homebody. not at any age. that is if you were raised right, and not the offspring of bored lazy homebody parents.
Yeah, I get you. I was a very high functioning teenager. What I am saying is that most every young person wants to try things and form their own opinions about life. We can't tell young 17 and 18 year olds they aren't allowed to do that, this is why when I was a teenager everyone hated boomer George Bush style Republicans.
For me, personally, I figured out very quickly that sitting around stoned all the time was lame. I was not judgey of kids who did that sort of thing, but I figured out at a very young age that being a pot head was not for me. It was occasionally fun in youth to do that sort of thing with friends, but any sort of regular use leads to nowhere.
This is probably why in adulthood I use pretty much zero weed and there are people who use it from their teens more until they are elderly.
Weed culture sucks. Smoking a joint at the same level that people come home and drink a beer is something else entirely.
> I personally don't believe people who smoke weed regularly into adulthood are actually enjoying it.
It helps me write software which I have trouble holding interest in otherwise. Aside from that if you've never had some CBD gummies to kill chronic joint pain from your day job then I think you should reserve an absolutist position on the personal habits of others which have no impact on you.
at least stimulants like nicotine have some benefit.
Translated: I have no experience whatsoever on psilocybin or ayahuasca but will delude myself that my ciggaratte habit is somehow good for me.
>also you should definitely imbibe one of the most dangerous substances possible
Oh good, at least you’ll be dead soon. No one said a word about cigarettes, by the way.

Same claim. Just as retarded.
What about abnormal functioning men?
