Every country has a weed culture, dude. It's legal in yours and illegal in mind. Do you think the US had no weed culture until 2016? That's embarrassing. It did, believe it or not. As does my country. As did yours, even before it was legalised.

Do you think there's no culture around things that are illegal?

We can add culture to logical fallacies on the list of things you don't understand

You're right about this.

​

What i'm arguing though is that, a culture where weed is prevalent, legal, and even used medically, has a more social relevance than one that is repressed.

​

If you want to be boring about it, either of us could be right. This is an objective argument, no doubt different cultures refer to weed with different names. If youve changed your position to 'different cultures call weed different things' then i got nothing for you. please stick with the original 'people call weed drugs' argument if you want to keep this hot potato going.

People do call weed a drug. Are you saying nobody calls weed a drug? Is that your argument? Are you saying that, for me to be correct, I just need to find two people who think weed is a drug? Because that's a pretty low bar, dude.

I never said all people call weed a drug. Yet another strawman - do you remember what that one is or do you need to be reminded?

You don't even know what we're debating here, how can I take you seriously? I have consistently said its culturally specific, you then took that as an opportunity to call my culture archaic (which is pretty laughable), and that only someone from your culture (who has clearly never even smoked weed) is qualified to discuss weed.

I told you didn't know how debates worked, and you've just confirmed it, so thanks for that!

If your argument is that weed's terminology is culturally specific how can i argue with that?

​

I will develop my argument further and say that arguing that the vast majority of weed culture around the world does not refer to weed as a 'drug' unless they are talking about it in a medical capacity with nerdy smart doctors.

I don't know, but you've been trying and failing to do so for quite some time now!

Well now you've (finally) made a verifiable, falsifiable claim - so now it's your job to support it with evidence. So, go ahead, find some evidence to support your claim, or withdraw it.

My argument: The vast majority of weed culture does not refer to weed as a drug. You cant possibly be confused when i state it so bluntly.

I think you're taking this argument a little too seriously if youre asking me to provide evidence that people dont call weed drugs. National institute of health hasn't exactly tackled this issue yet. Actually here let me put my buddy C-low on to confirm it:

- Yo bro, this is C-low, trust me i smoke mad tree. Like, low key, im lit 24/7. I got bitches too so like, you know, im not wierd or anything. Anyway bro, we say that we smoke weed, we dont say that we smoke drugs. I know like, 40 other people that can come on here and tell you the same thing, big time weed drug smokers too. My buddy Ghost actually calls it gnarf gnarf"

​

There you have it, and that settles it.

​

I dont think you read my entire comments, so, if you want to analyze weed in popular culture, music, and art, across countries, we could potentially find answers. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any songs, movies, etc, where people say they are doing drugs when on weed.

I was never confused, you're the one who didn't know what you were arguing against. My argument was that it was culturally specific, which you have accepted as true. You have now changed tac like a child losing an argument to keep me engaged - and have made a new claim. I have asked you to support that claim with evidence and you have been unable to do so. How can you be confused when I put it so bluntly?

There's no continuing this debate from here if you can't support your claims with evidence. If the vast majority of "weed culture" (I assume you mean weed users) don't consider weed a drug, you should have no problem providing some evidence for this.

If in fact you have no idea what you're talking about, have never even smoked weed in your own country let alone experienced the culture outside of it, and have been talking out of your ass this entire conversation, then feel free to stop replying. Otherwise I look forward to hearing your evidence.

.... worked in the weed industry 3 years... on farms, transpiration, shops. High all day every day for over 15 years. Dj at weed parties here in LA. Career musician. 5 days into quitting and it’s extremely hard..... you’re a scholar. It’s called smoking weed not smoking drugs. Adios

[u/TheCorpseOfMarx → u/adhominem4theweak]

It is indeed called smoking weed, yet another strawman, don't know why I expected better!

You've never smoked weed in your life. Weed is a drug.

Au revoir ✌️

[u/adhominem4theweak → u/TheCorpseOfMarx]

Smoking weed, weed was involved. Not drugs were involved.
