"You are the weakest"

Because someone doesn't adhere to your standards, they are weak? That's a pretty poor outlook. Besides, there are perfectly safe ways to consume marijuana that aren't destructive, as with just about any other substance.

I simply fail to fathom people justifying their lousy and destructive behavior.

Tell me how exactly you safely consume marijuana? Please don't spread disinformation like that. I am not the one to judge you, but if you through all means try to good-talk your faulty behavior, this is a sign of addiction.

I encourage you to read the following page and seek help before it drags you down to a place you cannot recover from. It's not too late.

It's hard to safely consume food (red meat, sugar, etc) these days also. You want to know why I eat burgers? Because they taste damn good. Why do I consume marijuana? Because it makes me feel damn good. This doesn't mean I eat red meat and get high every single day. It's more like a couple times a month. This "destructive behavior" will not destroy my life.

My point is, who are you to decide what is "lousy and destructive behavior" for everyone? Marijuana is clearly not for you.

For some however, it is a very real solution to problems like anxiety, insomnia, depression, low appetite, etc. Marijuana often has fewer side-effects than medications prescribed for those same ailments, making it a better option for many. That is how some people justify consuming the drug, and I think it's pretty narrow-minded to assume anyone who makes such a justification is an addict.
