Pot imho is far less dangerous than alchohal and more enjoyable too! However, facing the harsh reality that you could go to jail and/or lose your job, car, house kids etc. sometimes weighs so such a heavy and daunting risk so as to cause undue and uncomfortable paranoia. Don't drive with it in the car!

 

I don't think pot is less dangerous than alcohol...if someone smokes pot and drives, they are just as much (if not more) of a threat if they get behind the wheel of a car. It's the same with alcohol...by itself, neither of them are really that bad. However, some people get violent or stupid(er) when they use it.

WOW! not one person who disagree's! Oh well at least nobody who will come forward to say they disagree.

Interesting but I am not surprised by the responses, this seems to be a very proressive thinking group, I will pass the responses over to my friend who sometimes feels he is doing a "bad thing" by smoking pot for relief.

so next time my friend offers me a hit I might just take him up on it I know I got that Pink Floyd CD here somewhere......comfortably numb anybody?

 

Might as well make everything legal then

 

Marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes. I've been known to smoke out once every few months (I live in Savannah and there's nothing to do but get bit by mosquitos), but I do find it very appalling (spell-check?) that some people have to do it every day. When people think that they need it to be accepted and to be themselves, that's when the sh1t hits the fan. I recently lost one of my best friends to this "conflict". All he wanted to do is get high because that's the only time he felt alive. We were best friends since 9th grade, but I couldn't stand seeing him like that. It was a pitiful sight, and to think that the only reason he started smoking was because a girl turned him down. Oh well. To me, it is more of a spiritual thing. Like when a person is drunk, it's like they are a different being. I want people to know me, not my "high variant": and I want to know my fellow peers. That's why I choose not to smoke (often) and not to socialize with people when they are high, drunk, or both. It's just to artificial to talk to someone who is sh1t-faced.

My 2 cents

 

hmm... all this talk makes me want to go get stoned. brb

 

LOL. Great story. There's a difference between using drugs and abusing drugs. If you take Prozac everyday then you are making your life better (some might not agree), but if you take Prozac once an hour then you are making your life worse. I don't really agree with abuse (aka potheads), but some people just wanna have fun! Do I hate these people? Hell no, toke on buddy!

No offense to anybody on Prozac, I got a couple of friends on it, and it's helping.

 

Marijuana is Great
