nope cause i've seen the terrors that drugs can cause first hand. my sister did weed, meth, and pot and i saw how fucked up she was luckily she quit and is back to normal or at least as normal as she can. so after seeing that i decided i will never do any drugs except maybe liquor when i turn 21 and once in a good while after that
It wasn't the weed, or the pot (
) that fucked her up, it was the meth.
@Guild: You speak as if marijuana is just a "don't give a fuck" drug. If someone does it daily, that's just that person not giving a fuck, not the weed. The weed helps him/her, though.
@whoever thinks people who smoke for "a good time" are boring: You're usually wrong too. It's an enhancer, not a source.
My personal view towards marijuana is: "I don't care. I just won't do it now or ever." Towards every other drug, "It should be legal and regulated. The fact that drug-taking is a federal crime is retarded. It should only be illegal when it hurts others besides you, like alcohol. They should also be prohibited to athletes."
Drinking kills you, in many different ways. It can kill your personal life, it kills your liver and your brain, and it can kill someone else if you get behind the wheel and run someone over or cause some sort of accident where you walk out alive and kill someone in the process. Nothing is bad for you in moderation, but there are a lot of substances worth then drinking or smoking a joint once and a while that should be dealt with rather then trying to put all drugs into the same bag. You are impaired no matter what substance you take though, some are just harder on your body and even more addictive. Drinking or smoking pot are not bad for you at all in moderation, and it's all about control. I can easily control how much I drink, I can go a few weeks without drinking and then randomly decide to go buy a 6 pack of beer and kick back on the deck in the summer and drink my cold beers on a weekend, maybe cook up a steak and a baked potato as well. It's the same for people I know who smoke pot, most of them don't feel the need to smoke it every single day or multiple times in a day, it's a sign of an addiction when you need to do it more then once in a few day period. If you get completely shit faced 6 out of 7 nights a week, you are an alcoholic, you get stoned 6 out of 7 nights in a week, you are a drug addict, simple.
I think there are bigger fish to fry then worrying about pot smokers really, they are no more harmful then people who drink, but like alcohol it needs to be regulated and distributed by the proper hands, not by the guy with a grow op in your apartment building or something. Worry about the meth, coke, LSD, acid and heroin addicts, not the pot heads. People involved with harder drugs are more likely to be involved with the drug trade themselves anyway, or the users can be traced back to their suppliers easier then finding out who the distributor is for the guy selling some weed to a few of his close friends.
