I have never heard of anyone having a crisis of conscience over the taste of pot before! Good one!

I drink quite a bit...students do that and I'm english and female which according to the papers make me a statistic...I smoke now and again and have dabbled in herble drugs, such as weed and mushrooms, but wont do them again, they are pointless. _________________ MY SPACE |

JD I hope he is fine by everyone. People may disagree with his actions, but the fact is, he could probably find something they have done that he disagrees with, or sees as wrong. So, really, I hope no one would look down at or judge him for this. That would be bad and silly. |

Not a bad person necessarily, though your choice of recrestional habits is wretched. _________________ Audioscrobbler Now This is MYSPACE Gee, Blog |

see, this is what i dont understand. if you have a problem with them, dont do them. and if you dont have a problem with them, then do it. i think its presumptious to reserve judgement on anyone for this kind of decision, because its their personal choice on the matter. i dont think i have to justify all of my actions, because if im ok with them, that is good enough for me. which is why i dont poke into other people about thier decisions because i dont think everything a person does has to be my business. and they arent my only recreational activities. i would never be able to afford that. _________________ i'm a golden god. |

It is personal choice but it DOES affect others and society as a whole. If you read my previous post then you know Im not just someone talking out their ass. Ive been thru it all. After going thru choke rehabs and a few overnighters I can tell you I have learned a lot. Drug use effects the economy and everyones pocketbooks. When someone calls in sick to work cause there hung over or strung out, who pays? When a baby is born with drugs in its system and CPS has to find foster family, who pays? Who pays for the jails? Who pays for the treatment centers. You pay, I pay, we all pay. So you use and you say Im not an addict and I dont have to do the drugs then why do you do them? That no make sense to me. I was an addict and depended on them physically and mentally. Ive lost almost 1/4 of my brain due to ice use. If you see my brain in a scan there are portions where blood isnt flowing where it should be. I did drugs for well over a decade and for about 9 years was almost daily and this time a couple years ago Id guarantee Id be dead by now, no doubt. Its all who you hang out with and your personality. All I hung out with were tweakers. I am an introverted unconfident person so the ice made me an extrovert w/ 100% self confidence. People are saying all I do is smoke the dank and go picking out in the cow fields. Heard that story a million times in rehabs and they moved on up to harder things when just 1 of their friends started then all of the group of friends got into it. Then people say yeah yeah thats not me brah I can handle. All I say is bull $#@!. Thats what my dad said then couple years later now hes in jail for manufacturing and distribution. Now I been drug free going close to 2 years. Making good money legally, about to buy a new house out on the lake, going to grad college in a year or 2. My new addiction is wakeboarding. Find something else to get addicted to. And I dont mean the damn internet. That crap makes you even more introverted even thopugh you may "chat" w/ folks online its not personal contact. I use to be on internet plenty. Now just a few hours a day - a couple to run my businesses and a little time for my online classes. I print all that stuff and go outside and do my homework. Amazing how good the sun makes you feel even if it is 110 and humid. Buy a kiddie pool. I sit in mine and read outside sometimes. Go outside. Get a mountain bike. Go start running. Go to a church that has activities. Well enough rambling but anyway my point is F|_|CK DRUGS! |

I was an addict and depended on them physically and mentally. I appreciate the fact that you had problems with drugs, and I can see why you no longer partake. If I were you I would have quit also. However, most of us are not you. Anything that is potentially psychosomatically addictive requires that people have a certain amount of self-control before they partake, and physiologically addictive drugs should not be used by anyone. However, I do not believe the latter is what most people are talking about when they speak of their own drug use. People that can handle drugs do them for recreation. People do lots of things for recreation that aren't necessary. People that can't handle drugs get addicted. What people don't understand is that we regularly avoid that sort of addiction from other sources, such as sugar and caffeine. Don't think for a minute that caffeine doesn't alter your body chemistry the same way other drugs do, but it will never gets persecuted quite like drug use does, even though it is physiologically addictive.

Lots of opinions have been posted in this thread that have not been replied to in such a manner. However, they were all presented as opinions, and not as facts.
