Psh... that's not what I meant (plus, we all know that you're just working through your mommy issues). I mean, are you trying to educate us? Get us to stop smoking pot? If so, why are you so strongly motivated to rush to the aid of complete strangers? The average head doesn't walk up to complete strangers and go "It kills me inside when you don't get high. Please, I'm begging you, you're endangering yourself and others when you don't expand you mind. Don't you understand?! You're killing yourself!!! THINK OF THE CHILDREN, MAN, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!"
I feel like the human race is going in a downwards spiral. I can say it on a forum, but I barely talk in real life.
i think through the forums, ive started to not give a shit how people react to what i say in real life.
Why don't you try to stop people from doing heroin and crack instead? How about stopping people from assaulting their wives? Killing each other? There are really better places to start. I mean... *gasp* oh no, marijuana cigarettes are killing us all.
I can understand that- but why are you taking a stand on this? Why are you focusing on the use of a relatively benign chemical? Don't you think that the fact that of over two million people jailed, most are in prison for victimless crimes? For doing something that people have been doing forever, that just recently fell out of favor mostly due to the anti-marijuana campaign of a man whose competition was wiped out by illegalization and the racist newspaper articles of William Randolph Hearst. Why does this bother you more than wars? More than the environment? I mean, you didn't even do any research on it until very recently... You're entitled to your opinion, of course, and it's completely valid to examine facts and reach a conclusion different from mine. But when you say something like "Guys, it kills me inside when you get high" that's not an argument- it's an attack, and you're not going to change anyone's mind that way.
Also, its not just Marijuana. That is just one small thing. Its corruption that bugs me the most, and there is nothing I can do about it.
There's probably nothing you can do about marijuana, either. What you're saying now is completely reasonable. But- do you understand what I'm saying? I don't want to beat you over the head with this. I just mean that your approach is all wrong... the second that I read your first anti-drug post, actually considering your position was the farthest thing from my mind. I'm a vegan, but I don't stand in supermarkets and scream at people buying eggs. Which is not to say that you shouldn't stand up for yourself, but if you don't like corruption- Protest. Petition. That way you might actually change something, instead of just... er... pissing me off. Da, comrade? Peace?
You're stupid. Marijuana doesn't "ruin" people. It doesn't cause brain damage, it's not addictive [well, it's as addictive as chocolate seeing how anything can be habit forming], but there's nothing addictive in it. Cancer patients use it to cope with pain, and it has proven medical effect. That's why the government contradicts itself when it's placed in schedule I with heroin, among other things. Fuck, even cocaine is in schedule II. Here's a bunch of myths which you probably believe: http://www.drugtext.org/sub/marmyt1.html
i still say marijuana causes people to act like complete dumbasses, and I say it can potentially be harmful in the long run. This is my opinion, and i don't really want to hold a debate about marijuana, as nothing is ever going to change how I feel about it or any other type of *drug*
