So your opposition is more cultural than pharmaceutical. Should your cultural opposition be the rule, or the exception and why?Anyone who smokes that shit really is mentally-unbalanced. May all your stash of dirtweed turn out to have been sprayed with Paraquat, for shits and grins.![]()
Minus the legal issues, I find pot smokers easier to understand than drinkers. I find drunks to be loud, obnoxious, often sweaty and dirty, sometimes violent, and basically very unpleasant to be around. Stoned people can be annoying, messy, leaving food around.....but much less annoying and occasionally dangerous to be around. Add in the bad side effects of alcohol abuse (the headaches, photosensitivity, nausea and vomiting) and marijuana seems like the preferable of the two to me.
I don't drink (I had a sip of champaigne on New Year's, and that was the first alcohol I had consumed in years) and haven't smoked pot in years, either. I've never been big into either. My experience with pot and pot users, compared to drinkers, has clearly been very different than yours.![]()
I stopped smoking weed right out of college...the odd thing was I always loved getting high but it always felt like a lowdown, trashy, adolescent thing to do....I decided one day I was gonna grow up and rid myself of any bad habit or vise. I stopped that day and never looked back...I love a high dollar scotch and import beers now.
Why does smoking pot seem lowdown, trashy, and adolescent, but not drinking alcohol? I find that odd.
More than anything I think it was the level of motivation lost when I was high....another major factor was the type of people that live to get stoned weren't really the types I wanted to be like.
I don't think many object to marijuana usage for its pharmaceutical value...so long as every 18 year old didn't suddenly come down with glaucoma.
