Baby Steps

Right, what a misconception. I haven't been smoking since July Fourth, most of my friends smoke and I've never noticed this similarity to drunks.

You've fallen head over heels for anti marijuana propaganda, and it shows. But nevermind that, what are you trying to prove? that you're an asshole? Do you have an ego to fill? Untill now you've had some pretty entertaining and informative posts, this thread puts you kinda .. "out there" bro.

I don't even want to get on the addiction comment, it's been shown many times over that there is no addiction issues with marijuana.
Still, nevermind that your heading back to the Halo2 forum and cessation of fight starting would be apreciated.

You've never been around someone else who is high(while you are not) and been extremely annoyed?

I've fallen head over heels for anti marijuana propaganda? That's funny, I really haven't seen much of that in my life. Most people, like those who post in this forum, smoke marijuana, so "joining the crowd" as you would say of anti-marijuana people wouldn't be falling head over heels, and it wouldn't be falling to peer pressure. Unlike you, I am less affected by peer pressure.

I also noticed your amateur attempt at psychology,

Untill now you've had some pretty entertaining and informative posts, this thread puts you kinda .. "out there" bro.

didn't appreciate it much.

Just to comment, I don't think it's addicting myself, at least not as nicotine or alcohol is, but the high you get is possibly addicting, especially to those who haven't anything better to do with their time.

On a less malicious note, what part of Virginia are you from?

Virginia Beach. Right up the street from Oceana. Well all over Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Va Beach.

Nah, people smokin doesn't ever seem to annoy me, maybe it's because they are 'seasoned smokers'? Dunno..

By the way, what makes me seem like I'm any more affected by peer pressure than you or anyone else?

Thats why I love mendo county usa its where I lived before the Army.

In response to California's Proposition 215, which decriminalized marijuana for medical use in 1996, county law enforcement officials have set up a registration program for patients and their growers. And last year local Mendocino voters approved Measure G, a symbolic call to legalize "personal medical or recreational use." It's no surprise that this would happen here. Mendocino is at the southern tip of California's famed "Emerald Triangle," where for decades marijuana cultivation has been a cottage industry in the area's rugged gullies and canyons. But lately even local politicians and police seem to have made their peace with the drug. "We deal with it fine," says Mendocino District Attorney Norm Vroman. "It's the rest of the country that's all screwed up."

Theres alot more to read.

Heh, figures.

Adrenachrome, the reason I would think you are one to fall to peer pressure is that people who smoke marijuana usually don't independently find a dealer and buy it. They were introduced to it by their friends, siblings, or in some sad cases, their parents.

I'm sure I don't have to explain the whole theory behind what peer pressure is and such do I? I thought you could have deduced that yourself, I hope my explanation/insight has helped.

Personally I don't do any drugs such as tobacco, marijuana, acid, ect. I just never found the need to. I do however see points in taking hallucinogens every once in a while (2 times a year) based on what they do for you, and how they break everything down to a very simple level. Anyway, I am not once bit opposed to growing industrial hemp as there are many products that could be made better and more environmentally safe by using hemp instead of some of the other materials. As for the crystals in the plant, who knows what to do with them. I'm not to sure about the medicinal uses but couldn't they use them for that? Or is that something different all together?

EDIT: Also the comment about pot heads being idiots or however you worded it is completely inappropriate. Just because their gpa wasn't higher than 4.0 means nothing. That isn't an accurate display of one's intelligence when you factor in how in most schools homework is a huge chunk of the grade. That might not be the case for your school but I know alot of very intelligent people who didn't get honor roll or high grades just because they didn't feel like doing the homework. That is a different kind of stupid all together though

Well, speaking from someone who lives in a country where weed is legal I can say this. I know lots of people, people who are respected and make €100000+ a year that ocassionally smoke some weed. It's no big deal, IMO alcohol is alot worse than weed. Especially with kids these days, alcohol causes more problems than weed ever will.

Just because it's legal, doesnt mean everyone will freak out and start smoking 24/7. I'm all for legalizing soft-drugs, everywhere.

Well, as I said I have no problem with occasional smokers as long as they don't come and bother me with their theory about how sheep are evil animals that are trying to take over our minds as we sleep. If they smoke occasionally, I sort of see that as just an occasional stress reliever, or whatever other reason they would smoke marijuana for.

Actually I was one of those people that never did homework. At some point, however, one must draw a line. I didn't like doing schoolwork anywhere outside of school, so I usually took advantage of classtime, or even while we were studying the current lesson, to do that homework. Homework, by the way, is given for a reason. I don't care how genius you are, if you haven't read Chapter 10, you don't know what's in Chapter 10. I usually just paid attention or what not and got information I needed without having to read(unless it was English or History) then you have to read. Again, I don't care if you're Einstein's reincarnation, you don't know what happened in 1450 unless you read or are told about it. In Math, homework is given so one can practice the types of problems, and if you haven't noticed yet, the problems increase in difficulty in direct relation to the number of the problem.

Anyways, just to set everything straight, in case you aren't a good reader, I'll put it in simple terms here. The people I was attacking are those who smoke marijuana on a regular basis. The people who go home and smoke marijuana every day. Usually these are the same halfwit jackasses who party all high school, and do other drugs to include acid, alcohol, etc... The people who basically throw away their life on drugs. The people and spend time doing drugs that could be spending time improving themselves physically or mentally. Those are the people I was attacking.
