    well i just gave you the 5 reasons why i choose not to smoke weed.? well since you asked for 5, i gave you my top 5. agree to disagree.

  • TheSupaTwinkie says:

    most of what you say is true but i would have to disagree with some of the stuff you said. study proves its not a gateway drug. its true it messes up your lungs but not as bad as cigarettes. its true you hold in weed longer than cigarettes and that makes it worse but people tend to smoke a lot more cigarettes than weed. its true that it is an addictive drug? but for me personally im not addicted. i know when its ok to smoke and when i should cut back or stop.

  • j4yY1 says:

    -kills brain cells
    -messes up your lungs(lung? cancer)
    -its a gateway drug to heavier drugs
    -can cause temporary ED for months if smoked alot
    -its addictive

    Comparing celebrity drug deaths to teen drug deaths. Do you think this cuts right to the core of that notorious teen angst thing? Could this vid encourage the idea of? the drug abuser as the rebel without a cause? Where you really trying to help?
