Yay! A judgement thread on MFP!
I'll play along. Does anybody justify their drinking because of the reported health benefits?0 -

They say a glass of wine with dinner is healthy for your heart.
I just save up all of my glasses and drink a bottle on the weekends. Totally the same thing.0 -

Love it, LOL. I get a kick out of health questionnaires when they get to the drinking question. "Why yes, I drink one or two...[pause. Interviewer raises their pencil in anticipation] glasses a year." [Interviewer lowers pencil with a sigh].0 -
I'll justify smoking marijuana because it helps me sleep, eases my anxiety, helps with my depression, helps me eat, it eased my junkie shakes when I was getting clean from heroin - and wouldn't you know it- my doctors all say it's fine! Because marijuana CANT KILL YOU! Except they say it's better to eat it than smoke it, but I don't have time to do the intricate things cooking with weed requires to make it not taste bad.
It's not a drug btw. It's a plant.1 -
I believe that's what they call a false dichotomy.I'll justify smoking marijuana because it helps me sleep, eases my anxiety, helps with my depression, helps me eat, it eased my junkie shakes when I was getting clean from heroin - and wouldn't you know it- my doctors all say it's fine!

No, it's not. It's derived from a plant.0 -
I wish they'd legalize the stuff where I live. I was thin back when I used to smoke it regularly.1

Old news, correlative study. Now this article is misrepresenting the correlation as metabolic causation. It could be as simple as there is a contigent of people that smoke marijuana, get ultimate frisbee exercise, and consume a lot of other green things too, rather than 'da potz iz da wunder drugz that fixes teh beetus."0

Please stop. I can't get my score if you're being all logical.0 -

I was also thinking that most older people are not smoking as much as younger people, and with age we sometimes have that middle-age spread or weight gain from pregnancy, etc.

Perhaps. Or it could actually be "da wunder drugz" as you kids put it.0 -

It was great right? Didn't even work for it, just was. I was also thin when I had kids at home, but I think I'd rather go back to smoking weed.

Natural as potato and tomato greens, right? Or perhaps a little nightshade.0

Correlation != causation. Same with the red wine being good for you theory.0

I find it funny that people still go on about medical marijuana for glaucoma when it does nothing for glaucoma last I saw any medical review.
I'm perfectly fine with adults doing it because they want to. I find it kind of sad that people have to invent medical properties for it as a means to justify legalizing it to a bunch of people.0 -
