I will agree - although I am a little bit of a hypocrite - I enjoy a drink occasionally - (like 2 or 3 beers once or twice a week)

I agree with you but remember that not everyone has the same priorities.
You are not. I also think that.
They are a complete waste of life and money...especially for the people who do it EVERY day. I have friends who I will see after they've been smoking and it's just like they have no personality...it's sad. I'd take a beer over anything else any day...at least I can still function after a few hits of beer LOL
I don't know I would love to smoke an occasional joint but cant because of work and unlike the movies weed doesn't cause you to hallucinate or binge on cheese doodles its just very relaxing. I think the way the system is set up its more trouble than its worth but thats just me I'm a college student so I drink (not drive) I enjoy alcoholic beverages but it isn't my life. Again caught with weed you get a ticket but you have to worry about it on your record when it comes to loans, scholarships, and work so it isn't worth it. I also am looking to leave my part time job and get a new crap part time job and I have to pass a drug test so I am holding back. I don't do the hard stuff knew a few people that fell off the deep end with that.
I know they type but what about people who smoke once in a blue moon on occasion.
On occasion is fine...I mean there are worse things than Weed out there. I have a really good friend who does it once in a while, he's great, a very smart person. I just don't have respect for people who make it their whole life..like there's really nothing better you could be doing or spending money on? How about doing a physical activity once in a while? ya know haha.
If you want to smoke a joint in your own house, on your own time, so be it...

Yea can't agree with smoking pot being bad. Pot should be legal. Much safer than alcohol I think. Wish I could smoke more but can't bc of work

Oh Please People.
Marijuana is JUST as Bad, if Not SAFER to indulge in than Alcohol.
We're not talking about Amy Winehouse Crackwho## Drugs-
People have this anti drug stigma because of false propaganda.
Yes Drugs Can Be Harmful.
But So Is A Big Mac.
Yes Drugs Can Ruin Your Life.
But So Can World of Warcraft.
My Opinion is this-
ANYTHING Can Be Bad For You-
This is why we practice things in Moderation.
It's very easy to pigeonhole EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.
Drugs ARE a waste of a life, when a persons life is completely and totally preoccupied by a substance.
Remember, It's Indulgence, NOT Compulsion.
But that could be said about anything.
Name ONE person whos life isn't preoccupied with SOMETHING?
Such as Work-
Chances are, if they aren't working, they're a bum.
And What Kind of Life do They Lead?
Shoes, Makeup, Comic Books, Alcohol, Sex, Religion, HBO, Cartoon Network, BlackBerry's, and Small Dogs-
Those are MY Drugs of Choice.
Is my Life Wasted? Certainly Not.
Is it a Waste of My Money? Well that's my call.
Why Do People Work? To Afford the Things That Grant Us Pleasure.
To Be Human Is To Be Hedonistic.
In the words of the great Mr. Mackey of South Park..."drugs are bad mmkay".
Lol no but seriously what someone does on their own time is their business as long as it isn't hurting anyone(ex, if they have children & see neglecting them to do drugs) and it isn't crossing over into other areas of their lives, its their decision. But for the record, i'd rather drink margaritas all day than smoke weed all day because margaritas taste good :p

Agreed.
I don't care if you smoke a joint, or get crazy drunk.
So Long as it doesn't affect me, my family, or anyone else.
Its your decision-
Hopefully the person is in control of the substance, and not letting the substance control them.
Pot Doesnt make people bad, it makes them hungry.
And Being Hungry Isn't Bad... Unless Your A Zombie!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
And I agree with you also Prada...
Lol, you only live once. The guys a few posts up get it. You want to get messed up on x or smoke so much weed you can't see straight? Cool have fun :p sounds like a **** of a party. Just don't get in a car... I don't see a problem with occassionaly doing drugs. Quite relaxing actually :)

I'm sorry, what was the question? I was busy rollin' a doob.
hahaha niiiiiice. "come and smoke my bowl like a Marlboro"
Aside from the bad'ness' or lack thereof regarding drugs...things aren't bad/wrong/viceful simply because laws deem them to be as such.
For example; Prohibition banned alcohol many years ago until the gov't noticed that banning alcohol made things ten-fold worse (illegal production/shipment/consumption of alcohol)...which led to murders and a host of other crimes as a result of banning something such as alcohol.
Is alcohol banned now? No. Will there always be a population-set of people that de-cry certain things only as being black and white because laws make some things legal and other things illegal? Yes.
As long as there is a demand, there will always be a supply...
I don't smoke pot....h3ll I don't even drink, but I don't have a problem with anyone doing it. I think pot should be legalized. The US wastes so much time, effort and money trying to enforce some of the stupidest anti-drug laws. We put people in jail for smoking, selling or possessing pot and then let child molesters and rapists out. Think about all the money spent criminalizing marijuana in the past 20 years. How much of that could have been spent on much more worthwhile endeavors? Think about the government decriminalizing marijuana and then taxing it when it is sold at a local head shop or liquor store. The tax money from all the pot sold legally in the US could probably straighten out the economy right now. You would also have a thriving bong market. :D Michael Phelps could get some new endorsement deals, I'm sure.
Most of that is obviously pure speculation, but if you think about all the people you know I am willing to bet that everyone on this forum either smokes pot or knows someone that smokes pot at least once a week. None of that money is getting taxed (sales tax) and every dime of it could be. From the money spent to enforce the laws, jail people, the anti-drug marketing campaigns, and the loss of sales tax on the purchase of pot it really is a huge amount of tax payer money being wasted all around.
Just my opinion.
Now Crack, Meth, Heroin, etc. are all just plain evil. Especially meth that stuff steals your soul. I have met a couple of meth heads and when you look into their eyes there just isn't anything there. It is really freaky and very sad. I say let people smoke put, but shoot people that manufacture meth.
Agreed.
Pot Doesn't Make You Do Anything Illegal but Order 4 Large Pizzas at 2 AM and Waking up with the Biggest Belly Ache in the world!
The Amy Whino Trifecta (Crystal, Coke, Heroin) Should NEVER be lumped togethor with Pot.
Pot is on Level with Liquor, But I Feel that Liquor is more destructive to a person than pot.
No...you're not the only one.
You definitely make some very good points. It would definitely help the economy right now!
I don't know. There's a lot of great arguments on weed/marijuana but I guess the schools taught me too well and embedded it into my brain. It's like. Wow. Drugs. Drug user, druggie, life has been wasted. I can't get it out of my head. Also alcohol too. I'm too much of a goody-two-shoes and a lot of my teammakes give me crap about not drinking, et cetera... blah blah..
It's Time To Breakthrough Those Mental Shackles Placed On You.
Your a Big Boy Now.
You Can Make Your Own Decision.
We Are Human Beings.
Not Pavlovs Dogs.
Don't Maintain, and Openly Accept a Sheeps Mentality.
Human Beings Have a Right To Free Will.
Don't Forfeit that Right So Easily.
You May Feel Drugs are Bad, But At Least Don't Feel That Way Just Because Thats What Your Superiors Said...
