| Now I'm sure I'm not the only one that has noticed this, but it seems that all the "potheads," "stoners," "hippies," whatever you want to call us, on the message board are really relaxed, but then there are the people who don't do drugs and are really rude and they call us names and they judge us. I just thought it was interesting to point out that the people who smoke are really mellow, even when we're insulted, and the people who don't smoke can be very mean and they result to attacking the character of the person, whom they don't even know, rather than attack the drug itself. I also think that most of them make very closeminded remarks, and try to make up assumptions about why people do drugs, which are really just opinions from 6th grade health teachers. So what I am going to suggest to them, is to stop being so rude to people when you don't understand their life, the drug culture, or why they do it. That's not to say that people don't do drugs for the wrong reasons, but i do not understand why you people have to stereotype over 4 million people on this. I'm just saying, when you criticize others, make sure you've done your research. And even then, the only way you will truly be able to make any arguements is if you yourself have smoked marijuana. Also notice, that I said most of the non-users, not all. There have been respectable people here who don't try to preach to others. Also notice, that this is about pot and pot alone, no other drugs because again, i have not used them, so i'm not going to pretend like i do. | |

| I'm sure this is directed to me, so don't worry about it. I've done a lot of research, I know many druggies, and the "drug culture" makes you relaxed because it causes illusions. you live in a phantasy world to run away from the real thing, you know there are many other ways to relax. Besically you promote an illegal activity that may ruin someone's life becasue you become mellow, Kudos to you, I think you need to do some research. You have no character, so really, there's nothing for me to insult, all you are is a walking high, basically worthless to anything but the people who profit form yuor drug habit. | |

| Actually I have also done research, in fact I wrote an 11 page term paper on marijuana, in support of it being legalized for medicinal use. ANd considering you have not actually smoked pot yourself, then you have not done all the research. HOwever, I must commend you on your post, that was probably the closest to a civilized post that I have seen from you. | |

That's  ny, I wrote an 8 page paper on marijuana for biology, and a 10 page research paper on popular drugs for health class. My research wasn't just the internet, it was books, videos, doctors and actual drug abusers, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about also. Because I didn't do pot doesn't mean my research is incomplete, that'd make it flawed, as a matter of fact. If marijuana derived products were to come out to treat certain diseases, such as severe cancer, I wouldn't mind; However it's not an effective measure for treatment due to the fact that there are side effects, and a lot of risky factors involved, a weak person going through chemotherapy surely needs all the depth perception he/she can get. | |

| Wow two pages huh? SOrry, but I'm not stupid. That's just bull because you want to pretend you know what you're talking about. Also you obviously only research in books that were anti-marijuana. I researched in books and internet sites from all points of view, and often the ones against marijuana did not have any effeceint evidence to corroborate their information. | |

That's  for you to say, you have to pretend your drug habit and lack of ability to handle life's healthy. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about, I wasn't biased at all when I started, you however have a drug habit to swing you the other way. | |

| I'm not "pretending" anything. This is my life, and I can do with it what I want, so what if I know how to loosen up and have some ? I am not telling other people they have to do drugs or anything like that, and I never peer pressure anyone. I've asked some people if they want to do it, the girl said no, I asked her one more time if she was sure, she said she was, and so I dropped it. I don't force people to do anything they aren't comfortable with. You're going to need to learn to how to cohabitate with people that don't share all your views, otherwise you're going to be known as the intolerant outcast. | |

There is such things as -not- being addicted and using drugs for reasons other than "having ". I used acid, for instance, and found out many things about myself and my subconcsious. It was interesting comparing how we changed in the nature of our interactions with eac  her, what our priorities were and how -our- experience was different to the stories you read of -other- people's experiences.
In fact, a reasonable amount of people take psychadelics, not to -escape- from reality and it's problems, but to understand it better and see it from a different viewpoint. They can clear your mind of cultural filters and preconceptions.
They can also make you understand the beauty of the feeling of  wind against your face and marvel over just how good a pizza tastes the next morning, as if you can sense each tastebud separately.
Physically addictive drugs are completely different. Many of these are painkillers (opiates, valium etc) and do dull your perception of the world around you. But anything that's addictive in a major way can draw your attention away from the entirity of life itself and in towards you and your daily struggle with your body's needs.
My argument does not apply to them, though the way that they also change the way you think and understand things may be relevant to what I said. I wouldn't know... | |

| i dunno if anyone is even watching this post anymore but i wanna put my 2 cent in. i don't do drugs. but my brother did, my sister smoked. i met people who did drugs and to tell you the truth the were good people. im not going to make judgements about anyone who smokes or does drugs because i have no friken idea about their lives or what they are going through. the one thing i do know is that the steorotype that some peopple think of when they hear drugs gets on my nerves because my brother is a great person and not the person that a health teacher can even come close to describing. | |
