Your "seeking out herpes" analogy doesn't apply. But it's a funny thing, hypocrites can never see their own hypocrisy, even when it's presented to them right in front of their eyes.

Same applies to 99 pct. of serious pot abusers, only once in my life did I hear a guy coming over to me and telling me straight up that he fucked up five years of his life due to a constant pot abuse, and that he can't get off of it, it's my childhood friend and I met him after like 10 years two weeks ago, very honest guy who went through too much hell himself so he could lie to himself about it

So prove to me that Marijuana is bad for me, AND that the negative effects outweigh the benefits (as is done with anything we ingest). And then I will give some consideration to the thought of discontinuing its use and warning people against it. Seeing as how it's been used by humans for thousands of years with no attributable deaths, you've got a big challenge ahead.

It should be decriminalized, it can even be legal, but all I'm asking in exchange is to ADMIT that smoking weed is a personal fail, it's a drug abuse, people need drugs, I need drugs, but it's a fail.
I admit, very frankly, that I frequently engaged (and occassionaly still engage, I'm not a tea drinker) in drinking alcohol in the circle of my closest friends, shoot shit, act wildly and vicariously
But this game is really dangerous, cause you're always balancing on the edge where the "enjoyable" and "amazing" can become a "habit" a "burden" and "annoying"
The only proof that this applies to pot as well is to walk the streets and keep one's eyes open
