Haha you lames
First off, the bad side of weed is that it makes a lot of people lazy and robs them of all their ambition but for me that's just not the case. A lot of people it is, most it isn't. That's the downside, you aren't doing anymore damage to your body with weed then you are with the massive intakes of sugar that most everyone has. I don't drink soda, I'm not going to talk down on someone that does because they are harming their body, it's their body let them drink Pepsi all they want.
What annoys me more then anything is when people talk down on people because they smoke. So fucking what that you don't smoke, it doesn't change anything. Saying you won't get along with people just because they smoke is judging them, that is judging them. Saying you wouldn't get along with someone because they are just a jackass is acceptable, weed shouldn't factor into the occasion unless the person is sticking a blunt in your mouth against your will or only talks about weed which obviously they aren't going to do if you don't smoke.
Personally I think people who are up on the time on coffee and energy drinks act like tweakers a lot of time. SOMEHOW coffee isn't labeled a drug nor are energy drinks but I can tell you right now anyone who has ever been wired on Red Bull or a morning expresso has been on drugs. I'm serious about that.
And to imply weed somehow rids you of your morals is pretty fucken ridiculous.
So to that point, yeah I probably (definitely) am a pothead yet at the same time I'm a normal person it's not like my life is defined by the weed I smoke it just happens to be something I do, just like I smoke cigarettes. If anyone chooses to judge me off either of those things then they are a person I probably couldn't give a shits less about anyways.
Plus, weed is so damn harmless that it just seems silly that that would be held against someone. It's a plant, people grow the shit it's amazing to me that that could be illegal.

Lefty I swear if you come out here you better smoke a damn blunt. We'll walk through Golden Gate Park and smoke a blunt, it's the best thing in the world. I did that yesterday, was smoking a blunt in the Botanical Gardens and a squirrel came and just chilled next to us right on the bench. Was a magical moment surely made more memorable by the fact that I had a blunt in my hand.
Just kidding but seriously, I had views exactly like yours when I was younger and even more recently (as evidenced by some earlier postings on here) about other drugs that completely changed when I realized that everything wasn't half as big of a deal as everyone had made it out to be. Still, a choice is a choice and I would never hold it against someone if by some off chance they didn't smoke and would expect the same in return.
Now you fucks done sidetracked me. Frank this is your thread I'll dedicate some tracks you have to listen to high on here gimme a little time.
Well amat...I'd be cautious about pushing how insginificant it is, and promoting its use. Most of my 'cool friends' I had 2 years ago, who were older, smoking weed regularly...that I got rid of, are now into the crack, doing B&Es and getting regularly arrested to support the habit.
For many I do believe it is a gateway drug. It certainly was here, and for the people I know. Glad I ain't a part of that shit or their lifestyle any more, becuz for a while I was. I was 12 and already getting in deep shit and headed that way. Most of them are already dropping out of school and going absolutely no where in life. Now you can likely claim it was not simply the weed, and I will likely agree...but I suggest it sure didn't help as it's lifestyle lead to where they are...first dealing to support its use, then robbing when they came short...then before they knew it...was the crack. A couple of them I know are even into the needles now. Others in jail.
Our city is plague with drug use and the crime surrounding it, and the best way to avoid it and the shitty consequences, is to avoid it all.
yes weed is a gateway drug BUT it does not happen to everybody. i have this friend i known since kindergarten til now and has never tried anything else but weed. IMO it depends on the person and how easy he/she is to peer pressure. i admit at first i said i will never smoke weed and it took a long time for me to even try it and didnt do it again for another year.
but i know quite a few people who started out on weed and are on some other shit now.
Im not going on the moral high ground Amat, i've already said to Frank he can do whatever he likes or whatever makes him feel happy. Its just something i would never do, and im not trying to make out im better than anyone else because i choose not to do it.
But i think i gave good reason's why i wouldn't do it, and when i said i probably wouldn't get on with most of you on here. I was actually being sarcastic but who knows if would get on with most people on here ? where from two different worlds totally.
Well I am not lecturing, I am giving my experience. And yea...I started at the age of 10 smoking cigarettes, and by 12 was already doing thefts, smoking weed and drinking, and with druggy friends helping beat up other kids who owed drug monies to make a few $$'s. Also had already sold a bunch of my stuff for weed. And yes...at 12.
My story is sorta known around here. I made a joke about a "used to be a rebel without a cause" article in the paper a short while ago, because of my age, in our local paper, because I admit it seems ridiculous, but having the police stop by my house 2-3 years ago was a regular occurance.
I feel a fuk of alot better about myself now, and watch as my old friends are sinking further and further into lifestyle with few opportunities. They are all 16, 17 and 18 now...and juvi won't be a factor for much longer. Will be doing hard time soon. I also went to a funeral not long ago for a girl I know, who too was apart of the same clique. She decided to play car/pedestrian chicken stoned on acid. She lost.
Well Ice...no offence, but kinda stupid to say "where were your parents?' People from all sorts of socio-enonomic backgrounds and make ups end up into drugs and crime and its traps. Most of those friends have parents and money etc and the are not other common stereotypes associated with that lifestyle.
But if you must know, my mom was wherever she has always been...somewhere else. I don't know the women...have met her now 3 times. Twice when I was younger and once a short while ago at my provincial championships.. and she is a stark raving loon and a fuk up. She made a scene while there. And my dad was here trying to keep me and my sister out of shit. He grounded me for months just after my 12th birthday. I got off grounding in Sept. 2 days before the start of school. He made me take up boxing and work if I wanted my freedom back. I walked thru the doors of boxing first week of school...and so far, haven't looked back.
