FOUR REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SMOKE WEED !!!!

-->  

Marijuana is healthier than alcohol.

First of all, smoking weed rarely, if ever, results in uncontrollable projectile vomiting; drinking alcohol often does. How could our bodies make it any more clear than by literally forcing it out before having the chance to process it? The morning after consuming even a reasonable amount of alcohol involves painful symptoms in the form of a hangover. Comparably, minor lethargy is the worst symptom you’ll experience after a night of getting high on marijuana. But that’s just my own personal reasoning.

Weed smokers are mostly good people.

Obviously this is a matter of personal taste. For the most part, however, I genuinely like the vast majority of marijuana smokers I’ve met. While I learned the hard way in college that smoking weed doesn’t automatically make a person cool, I would say it’s nevertheless a reliable indicator. At the least, the ratio of people I meet vs. people I like is at misanthropic status compared to the alternative ratio for weed smokers. We tend to be more laid back and understanding. High-fives all around.

Marijuana makes food taste better.

Enough said.  

Smoking weed [accidentally] cured my recurring migraines.

This is a funny little story, actually. I started suffering from migraines on an irregular but frequent basis beginning at 11-years-old. I would get at least one a month, but at most three to five in a week. They fucking sucked. The side effects of the only drug I was ever prescribed were only slightly favorable to the migraine itself. Not long thereafter, while still in high school, they stopped. I don’t even know how much time went by before I noticed. When I did, I chalked it up to a particularly nasty side-effect of puberty and didn’t put much further thought into it.

Fast forward to the summer after graduation. The lifeguarding job for which I was hired required a drug test. Accordingly, I decided to stop smoking weed for a month prior to taking the drug test. You see where I’m going with this. Couldn’t have been more than two weeks that passed before another migraine reared its ugly head. I still didn’t make the connection until a year or so later when I quit smoking for a month by my own volition. This resulted in another migraine, and was accompanied by the realization that smoking marijuana has to be the reason I don’t get them anymore. Score one for weed!
