Do you smoke pot?

Smoking pot is one of the dumber things you can do with your time.

I had a friend who had everything going for him. He had a cool girlfriend, he had a nearly full ride at SMU, had a lot of good friends, and things were just generally going well for him. Then he had another friend that was just a giant pot head and got him started smoking pot.

He started by saying it wasn't actually bad, it's legal in other places, and every other excuse pot heads tell themselves to make it alright but they really know it's dumb as shit. After that he started losing friends, lost a lot of his scholarships, lost the girlfriend, and had to drop out of school.

Since then he's moved to all other sorts of drugs but pot what is really started it all for him and ruined his life. That's kind of the short story of it but you get the idea.

I'm sorry, but people who smoke pot are just morons. They sit there and tell themselves that they aren't going to do any real drugs or they aren't hurting themselves but lets see them five years down the line. What other drugs have you done? How much money have you wasted? How many friends have you lost? How many opportunities have you lost?

Sorry for the rant but this is one of those sensitive issues. People who smoke pot are just fucking stupid and the people that sit there and tell themselves they're cool because they aren't pot heads are even bigger idiots.

So you are basically saying marijuana is a gateway drug.  That is complete bullshit.  The only thing that makes marijuana a gateway drug is the fact that it is illegal.  You have to go to a drug dealer to buy it.  Turns out that some drug dealers actually sell other drugs.  If you are inclined to try marijuana then you might try other drugs too especially if you are offered it by the drug dealer.  Lets say marijuana was legal.  When you go to the store to buy milk do you get offered crack?  No and that is how it would be if it was legal.  If you ask me having marijuana illegal is pure idiotic.  It is far healthier than alcohol and cigarettes.  Get off your high horse because I can shoot you down any argument you have against it.

Marijuana is the least of the worries today.  Lately kids have been popping so many pills that their livers/etc will be shit when they get old.  Prescription pills are far worse.  Find me a case where someone overdosed on marijuana and died.  Oh wait you can't....

Ya sorry Twesterm, but you don't know what you're talking about. I've been smoking pot for 10 years and I have a degree in Theoretical Physis and doing Masters in Nuclear Physics. Funniest of all is that what I am doing pales in comparison to what some of my friends are achieving even though they hit the bong every day.

During these last 10 years I've smoked HEAPS of weed, but never ever touched any hard drugs. I take mushrooms about once a month and stop there. No chemicals, no addictive drugs AT ALL. Moreover, my alcahol intake is probably 10% of the average person in my demographic group. If you consider that alcahol is worse for your intestines and brain than weed then that makes me smarter than the people who get drunk every weekend and say ''POT IS BAD''. 

Those people spend more money than me, get 'high' less often than me, act like idiots when they're drunk while I play my drum or some PS3, mess up their bodies waaay more than me yet they still have the audacity to call me a moron!?

I'm sorry, but we live in different worlds. In my world everyone who smokes pot is a friend and welcome in my home. I regularly give charity to Rastas (there are bone fide Rastas in Cape Town) and admire the way they live close to nature. Some of the most peaceful and wise people I know smoke weed.

In short, you can't comment on something if you don't know anything about it.
