If you put us two in a room together and a bunch of liquor, there could be problems between us
If you put us two in a room together, a giant bong, some good kush, and an Xbox 360, I bet we'd be laughing and hanging out just fine
Alcohol, to me, is really only good for when I want to dance, and for having with a good meal. Getting drunk has very little appeal UNLESS it's drinking wild turkey and listening to country music or watching "Unforgiven".

I agree, nearly anything should be legal behind your closed doors. Nearly.

I am against legalizing it because it is a drug and I'm anti drugs.

Why? Drugs can expand your mind. Drugs are a very good thing for humanity. Almost all of us ingest some form of drug or another per day.
Drug abuse is horrible, I agree, but drug use itself is beneficial in most cases.

Also MJ smells really bad. Imagine walking down the street and smelling it as often as you smell cigarettes... disgusting.

Agreed 100%.

It's the parents that are at fault.
Same thing when a 14 year old gets pregnant. Completely the parent's fault.

If however you are referring to recreational prescription drug users, then I would argue they belong in jail right beside any other criminal. |
What about those that self-medicate?
I have always had, since I was a little kid, some aniexty problems where I can't slow my mind down. I will get a bad thought inside my dome and then it just ruins my day because I can't relax and get that thought/idea out of my head. I refuse to use any SSRI drugs because of the fact that I have already cured my migraine headaches through the use of an Ionizer to stabilize my serotonin production, and I don't want to fuck with the balance of brain chemicals.
I keep a bit of weed around my place for two reasons:
1. When I get anxious and it affects my day, I will smoke a little weed and I relax enough that my brain can put the "brakes" on the bad thought, and I can go on with my day. I think it has to do with my ADHD type of brain. My brain is like 1000 TV channels playing at once, and sometimes too many of the channels are negative and bring me down. If I have a couple puffs my mind is able to change the channel, so-to-speak, and I can better focus on what's causing the negative thought rather than focus on the negativity itself.
2. When I want to play video games, like Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena, smoking a joint, cranking up the 5.1 sound, all the lights off, SLI'ed video cards on a 37" 1080p screen = INTENSE IMMERSION!
Keep in mind that they give our prozac and paxil like candy to people who should never be on such a powerful and mind-altering drug. Marijuana is far, far, far, far, FAR less powerful and dangerous than prozac or paxil. Try reading up on effexor and learn about how some people can't ever quit that drug because of the "brain zaps" they suffer when trying to get off of it. People report a painful sensation of electrical shocks inside their brains. Some claim these shocks NEVER GO AWAY!
I used to be like you when I was younger, which is why I never did drugs until I was 23. I am almost 31 now and I have experimented with a ton of drugs. I have only once had a bad experience and that was because I was high on e and sent a girl a 3 page love letter via text message at 6 am on a Sunday. LAME. Haha!
