Weed may be legal in alaska

I used to get high all the time but never used visine, ever. I told myself if your gonna be high then be proud of it. Honestly, I quit to join the Army but can't say whether I'll do it when I get out or not. Most people think of stoners as the stereotypical I'm so high and stupid and have no idea whats going on but that's not how it really is with a lot of people. At least from what I've seen, but for all I know, maybe that isn't the norm and I just hung out with a differant type of stoner. I do know that it is definately possible to smoke pot and not be a druggy. You can stay in control if you only have the will to. People that don't do drugs automatically think, oh, he smokes pot, he;s a pothead. The ones that do it know that there's people who smoke for fun, people who smoke socially, and then the druggies.

Yeah I guess I wouldn't know about any of this being as how I didn't smoke marijuana for 3-4 years of my life. Oh wait, yes I did.

Chicago is considering decriminalizing it. That way you only get a ticket like in Canada. Appearantly almost all the cases get thrown out or the person doesn't show up. On top of that there is all the police overtime.

Whoring is legal here. That doesn't mean it's ethical. Meh.

Don't take it as personal. It wasn't directed at you.

10,000 people can't be wrong! Seriously though, some people can stay in control and some can't. It's possible. Not everyone who does drugs is an adddict.

[Carnage]

Hahaha. I see what you mean... But what about those few people who actually get high to feel good, rather than to be cool?

How am i cool i was alone in my basement

Who says?

If you're arguing that doing drugs is okay as long as you're not addicted to them well then I feel sorry for you.

Case a) I'm addicted to drugs, so I do them
Case b) I'm not addicted to to drugs, so I do them

I'm not against drugs because they're bad for your health. I'm not going to argue that one drug is "worse" than another because they're all the same. Smoking a joint is just like injecting a few hits of herion into your bloodstream in my opinion. I'm against them because they distort perception and are the most efficient way to lie to yourself. To willingly subject yourself to that is totally asinine behavior. Being addicted, whether the drug will kill you or not, these things don't matter to me at all. If you're stupid enough to take part in something you know can kill you, you deserve to die.

Smoking and Drinking are worse than Teh WEED. Legalize and tax the $#!7 out of it.

[Necronopticous]

Smoking and Drinking are worse than Teh WEED.

Actually they're exactly the same. They're worse for your health but so is eating fatty foods.

[Carnage]

Drinking is worse than weed and ciggarettes together.

I'd have to agree with Necro here. Except this:

If you're stupid enough to take part in something you know can kill you, you deserve to die.

I don't think anyone should be able to make that decision. I think that they should be able to live, face the consequences of their actions. Maybe even realize that they could be doing much better things, then distorting everything. Maybe it's just me, but I like to be in complete control of myself, 100% of the time. That's also why I don't want to start drinking. On my mother's side of the family, no joke---they're almost ALL alcoholics. I have that tendency toward it, so Iv'e amde that choice---I won't even start. Not even one sip. It always starts out small, and leads to bigger things. In MOST cases.

I've been around those people before. My last boyfriend and his friends were big into weed. Breaking up and getting away from him was one of the best things I've ever done. They were always worried about not passing their drug tests; they fail almost all of their classes; they don't know what's going on half the time. Who wants to be like that? My ex's friend (who I'll call Mike) actually tried to kill himself, when he was high. His friends actually egged him on, saying "Do it! Do it!" when he was about to slit his wrists. Yes, I know that he was depressed, and might have, probably would have, tried to do it when he was sober too---but who knows? Most people think of stoners as the stereotypical I'm so high and stupid and have no idea whats going on because in most cases, it's true. Getting away from the drugs was, in my opinion, was a very good idea. I don't want to be involved with that anymore. It screws up lives, and the lives of others who aren't even doing it.

I know from personal experience that convincing you of it is next to impossible so...just read what I wrote, take it in, form an opinion about it, whatever. It wasn't supposed to be rude, or anything like that---just stating what I think. So....I DON'T think that it should be legalized, in a nutshell.

Necronopticous, I love you. You've argued everything in this thread so well. I think, though, some people need to learn to read more carefully:

Seriously, folks...no.

Well this is my usual argument for these types of things. It's my body so why should you or anyone else tell me how to use it or what o do with it? I mean it is mine and mine alone.

Maybe you don't know many people on drugs. Personally, I have lived my entire life in the same household as drug addicts and junkies. Drug use isn't a personal thing by nature. It effects everyone who the user is involved with consciously and unconsciously. The intent is not to tell you what to do with your own body but rather to inform everyone that drugs are a fake escape from what can be a beautiful experience.
