Ok, so I'm not sure what to do. I live with 3 other people in a house and two of them smoke weed all the time. It is becoming really distracting. One is a fellow runner, but has really been choding it up lately. I don't have the guts to tell him in person, but I feel it is really affecting his running. How should I confront him? Also, is this terrible environment going to effect my running?
haha
1. Tell them since it distracts you, you'd prefer they smoke in a particular room that is well ventilated so you don't have to put up with the smell (crazy you).
2. Ask your roommates why they smoke, ask them if they think they can balance with with the running. Listen to them.
3. Learn the fact about cannabis. We have been truly duped when it comes to cannabis prohibition.
4. Get high yourself, and see through the BS.
First, your roommates are losers. Second, tell them to grow up.
Lots of athletes smoke weed. Look at Michael Phelps.
Also, I don't see how your roommates burning would be distracting to you. I would not confront him unless you want to look like a complete doosh. Concentrate on your own business and you will be fine. Maybe you should try some of that cron so you're not such a little wuss.

You are ignorant. Cannabis is safer than alcohol and tobacco, and we push kids to use those instead. Whereas alcohol and tobacco use are associated with a myriad of health problems, cannabis is 100% safe. A recent study found that cannabis smokers were less likely to develop cancer than non-users.
If word got out that cannabis fights cancer, it would kill the trillion dollar cancer industry. ;)

Ok. you can't say it is 100% safe. I agree that it is safer than alcohol and less unhealthy than cigarettes but let's be rational here. We criticize the other side of the debate when they make ridiculous statements about the lethality/gateway/adiictiveness aspects of marijuana and if we say things like it is 100% safer we're making the same type of unfounded claims. We're better than that.
You are a lucky bastard... having a shit load of weed in the house is very nice! Get high and go out for a long run!
Smokin weed and running fast goes along pretty well! I'm the living prrof!

It's not illegal everywhere in the US.
It is illegal because over-zealous corporations wanted to kill competition in materials and textile markets.
Hi I'm DuPont. I figured out long ago that hemp could possibly be the most useful plant on earth. You can use the fibers for various materials, use the oils from the seeds for energy needs (first Ford prototype was designed to be run on hemp seed oil), as well as ingest the seeds for their superior healthy fat ratio. The plant matures in a little over 100 days, requires no pesticides or herbicides.
But I don't like you having access to hemp because then you won't buy my petroleum-based substitutes for the things you could have obtained naturally. And where is the profit in that?
Hi I'm from Pfizer. I figured out long ago that cannabis is the oldest, safest, and one of the most effective medicines known to man. It's only side effects are hunger and sleepiness, and you can grow it almost anywhere.
But I don't like you being able to grow your own medicine because then you won't buy my synthetic substitutes for the medicine you could have grown naturally. Where is the profit in that?

I live in cali and it's as legal as asprin. I have a card and buy it at the store. If I get pulled over they give it back to me. You're living in the 1950's brosef
I'm very familiar with the benefits of hemp. I'm in R&D and have researched its utility to a pretty strong degree. But, if it's illegal on the books, then that's the bottom line. However, as someone else posted, it may be legal in certain areas - I'm okay with that.

As soon as they start blazing up, leave the house and call the cops. Problem solved.
Why do people make everything so difficult...
Cigarettes, pot, and alcohol are all bad for you, illegal or not.
Very true. But I can have a rum and coke (I'm over 21) and not have it go on my record. BIG difference.
it is no way 100% safe when it comes to mental health problems.

It should be the governments job to protect people from harming other people, not to protect them from harming themselves.

This world would be a very shitty place if everyone had this attitude. Think of all the atrocities and injustices that were committed or perpetrated as a result of unfair or prejudiced laws. What if all the people that stood up to them never did because they were on the books and that's the bottom line? That's never the bottom line and hopefully it never will be.
Yo, dude, we see you making posts about us on letsrun. Thats not cool, pause...................................................................................................................................................................... man.
Why don't you just comfort us....oh ho...man....i mean confront us..............Its all good.
You need to lighten up.....its statistically safer than alcohol and tobacco.
