You always assume that people who do not support drugs are brainwashed by 50's propaganda that they most of the time weren't around to see, aren't you?
My opinion isn't coming from any government source, and I'd never bother smoking the stuff myself since I'd rather be healthy and raise a good family, lol
LOL.
You're essentially saying you can't live a normal life when you smoke pot. And you're arguing it with me, so here, let's just use me as an example;
Graduated highschool early.
Work an actual corporate level job making a very decent salary.
Have a huge circle of friends (many of which don't do drugs)
Have a girlfriend.
Have a dog.
Have a healthy relationship with family.
You see the idiot loving stoners who throw away their life and are just stupid (like Kilser, no offense) and you fail to realize that like half of the population of this country smoke(d) weed and are still normal people.
Barack Obama
Bill Clinton "but I didn't inhale!"
Billy Murray (Has a marijuana arrest under his belt even!)
John F. Kennedy
Steve Jobs
Bruce Lee
Art Garfunkel
Carl Sagan
Conan O'Brian
Hunter S Thompson.
God, I can list them for hours. Tons of people smoke weed and end up living normal, if not better than normal lives. Not strictly from it, but it just doesn't have that effect on your if you're MENTALLY able to know your limits. There's no physical addiction to it, but burnouts can get mentally addicted. Where they convince themselves they need to get high to do anything.
And yes, everyone who doesn't understand marijuana has their head up their ass. There's thousands of uses for it besides getting high. Hemp fibers are stronger than any other soft material (in my knowledge). Hemp paper uses way less from the environment than normal paper. The thousands of medical uses for THC (the active ingredient in marijuana). And so on and so forth.
You might not endorse the recreational use of it, but that doesn't mean you need to bash on it for it's actual medical properties as well as every day functionality.
