Sigh... I'm not changing anything. I am adding to it. I despise pot and other "recreational" drugs. I cannot stop people from using them but neither do I have to kowtow to said use. You never said anything about "health" but why then does it make it verboten for me to do so?
It doesn't. Again, I don't care for this stuff. I think it is stupid to use such crap and so I don't. It destroyed my youngest brother. There is a real reason this crap is called dope. I cannot fathom how making it legal makes it all better except to take away the supposed stigma of the law.
We are never going to see eye to eye on something like this. It is far too polarizing for me in that I have lost a loved one to this shit. It all started with pot. Not a gateway to more powerful and addicting substances?
Family experience says otherwise. Your mileage may vary and you may do as you please. In my life I have had people light one up in front of me and I tell them I cannot abide that stuff and so I leave. Do I do so when they drink? If I know them to be a lush, damn right I do. I've been around drunks and it sucks.
Again, we will never see eye to eye on this subject and so I will not insult either of us further by participating in this discussion. I have held fast the cold lifeless body of my little brother pulled from the coroner's freezer and wept tears for a loss that should not have been.
Be well, my friend.
You're adding to it? But you never addressed my statement about the many people who use pot in moderate use and are still very successful and smart people. Do you agree that your original assertion that marijuana makes people into retarded lazy bums, to be 100% true? How can you believe that to be true when there are probably millions of successful people who use marijuana in a moderate use? Thus, how can you add or move on when you never really responded to my anecdotal evidence? Did you conveniently just gloss over it?
And just because your brother could not use it responsibly, how does that apply to other people? I know a professor who has been smoking pot for over 25 years. Published in journal articles, has written books, and goes to work every day. How do you reconcile your belief that it makes everyone lazy, retarded bums, when I present you with a successful woman who uses pot?
I was right about you what I said last week. You will never EVER change your views, no matter how much you're wrong. This is the problem with you.
You provide a general statement that pot makes people into lazy, retarded bums. I provide you with someone who it did not do that to. Yet, you still hold onto the belief that it makes people like this. Shame, that you cannot admit when you're wrong.
Be well.
