I feel that the culture that builds up around things like vaping, marijauna, etc. are far more overreaching than the health effects itself on the individual. Because a culture has built up around it, easily influenced people, especially those who are younger, willingly take part in something that can/will worsen their health just because it is trending and 'everyone else' is doing it and it's 'safe'. Yes, marijuana and vaping are not as bad as cigarettes and other things. But I find using that as a justification is concerning since they can still bad right? Weed may have not ever killed anyone, but have you seen stoner culture? Let's say marijuana itself doesn't make you dumber or lazy, but stoner culture certainly will.
You can justify anything if you have something worse to compare it to. Now it's weed or vaping, in the future it may be something else.
- kbrwn 8y agoYou should cite some actual evidence that "stoner culture" makes folks lazier and dumber or GTFO.

- tlb 8y agoIt's not feasible to get scientific evidence for the effect of any culture on individual intelligence or laziness. This is true for all cultures including religious and ethnic. There's zero scientific evidence that any such culture is good or bad for you. You can't run a randomized controlled trial, and epidemiological techniques are unable to separate out all the confounding factors. There's also no scientific evidence that, say, Typescript is better than Javascript. Just anecdotes and opinion. Those are worthwhile, though. You have to choose somehow. So please don't reject sincere opinions for not having scientific evidence when none is available.
