Not a fan of weed. In fact I'm not a fan of much of anything that alters my perspective on things.

But I do think that weed should be legalized. Prohibition on weed is just as bad (if not worse) than the prohibition was for alcohol in 1920s. Too many people get killed or put in prison because of it and it limits our police force from focusing on worse crimes. To much time and tax money is spent on fighting this war, when that time is money should be spent elsewhere. Also if it was legalized and regulated, then it would reduce gang crime, we could tax it and use that money to help our in debt government, it would make it harder for youth to get access to it, etc.

Why is that? Weed tought me a lot of how perception and the brain works and tied in nicely with cognitive sience I was studying at the time. It was even part of text book experiments although they weren't practiced anymore. My mother actually did have to smoke pot in class once for an assignment while studying psychology.

Use of extacy has opened me up, and helped break down the walls I had constructed around myself. It is still used in therapy although underground nowadays.

Apart from that it is a lot of fun to see things from a different perspective. All used in moderation and good company ofcourse.

I get to paranoid. Or I don't react well to it. I will try anything that does not do perminate damage at least once, but I have not found anything I enjoy. I have tried it a couple of times over the years and it either makes me sick or very afraid. (Maybe I'm allergic)

Even with beer I won't drink more than two. (I stop before geting woozy) After college I haven't really drank the hard stuff. I use to like margaritas, but I would always get a headache while drinking them, soon I found out the reason was that I was allergic to the plant tequilla is made from.

But hey, I don't condemn your use of whatever you want as long as your not driving while on it. Steve Jobs used LSD when he was young and he claimed that it helped open his mind.
