• Sometimes I am tempted, but I have decided not to use marijuana even in the United States (blu3mo).
    • I need to clarify this logic within myself.
  • First of all, as a premise,
    • There is a fairly high possibility of returning to Japan.
    • I don’t want to engage in illegal activities in Japan.
      • That’s understandable (blu3mo).
  • With that in mind, I don’t trust my self-control (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo).
    • If I were to become addicted to marijuana, I wouldn’t have the confidence to refrain from using it in Japan.
    • Crossing the line between legal and illegal activities may lead to escalation.
      • For example, even if marijuana is legal in the United States, it is illegal in Japan, so crossing that line already occurs.
    • There may be more dangerous/illegal substances in the realm of marijuana.
      • I don’t have the confidence to not be influenced by that.
  • The current social system imposes significant disadvantages on those who use illegal drugs.
    • I want to avoid getting involved in such activities by making hasty decisions based on temporary thoughts (blu3mo)(blu3mo).
  • I understand (kota-yata).
    • I decided not to try it because I was afraid that once I started, out of simple curiosity, I would end up looking for places to use it in Japan.
    • Well, if I can live without it, then I don’t really need it.
      • Unless it’s for ADHD or something, I don’t see any benefits in using it.
      • It’s similar to smoking cigarettes.
  • Anticipated counterargument:
    • “Marijuana has low addiction potential” or similar claims.
      • This does not refute the logic mentioned above.
