So, since I smoke weed, I am a relaxed, intelligent, creative, and optimistic person?
That would assume that those traits are directly attributable to your "weed" smoking. It would also assume that you actually possess those traits.

no reason to lay blame or shame to anyones usuage
Except that the alcohol and prescription drugs you mentioned (assuming it is YOUR prescription) are not illegal and do not support the criminal enterprise...

i was not talking about supporting an illegal criminal enterprise, my point is this that they are many things that impair us and have many different effects on us including alcohol which is legal, and some prescribed drugs can impair your judegment and cause harm in one form or another whether its illegal or legal. its a matter of choice.. even if we dont agree with it

Conspiracy theories? Really?

Even assuming that's true, it doesn't change the fact that it supports a criminal enterprise.

I've dated a daily weed smoker. For me I don't drink or smoke and that is my personal choices. I always used to here how great she could focus at her job. Her jobs were always places that didn't drug test or had 1 preemployment drug screening.So basically they were BS office jobs ,clerical, or resturaunt. Jobs that uneducated high school kids or someone going to college would take just to get by till there real job comes along. My exeperience with a pot smoker is they would rather lower there standard of living so they can get high. The one's I have encountered are willing to let there lives be controlled by there addiction to pot. I smoked and drank in my early years. but,when it came time to make 70k or take a BS job I chose the job and to be a provider. Now, not everyone who smokes weed is unsuccessful. However I won't date anyone that smokes weed because my life just doesn't allow for what I call the stupidity factor that goes along with the weed smoker.Take a poll.Look at your pot smoking buddies. See how many daily pot smokers make over 50k a year legally. Own atleast one home. Drive a nice vehicle and have the normal toys that most americans have and not have bad credit.Why take a chance. Here's a question. Why are you smokers so pissed if people won't date you? You made your choice. It's pot first and whatever else second.There is a wrench for every nut out there. Get over it and wait till someone that shares your interest and love of pot comes along.

Well i don't smoke maijuana but for the person said it's illegal.yes it is in alot of states .but it is also prescribed for people with pain (chronic that is)andglaucoma as well as a few other mnedical comnditions.So its regulated and controlled the same as other medications.In california as well as other various states you can go tpo a cafe and legallybuy and smoke it.Ttthier are many pros and cons to any drug including alcohol and ciggarettes.I do dissagree with the almost eventual smoker who started this thread in a few way,but won't get into them.I'd rather not get into a long moral and ethical as well as legality debate on the subject.TRhier are people guy that won't date those that drink,smoke are arent thier own color ,age or religion.The point being it is thier choice and thier life.So if some one doesn't want to date you because of your pot smoking,then your not compatible and move on.anyway just a opinion.bigsmile


Actually it's illegal in all states. There's a lot of debate about this issue of state and federal jurisdiction but drug laws do fall under federal guidelines. Some states may ignore it but the feds can still take away med users, they just don't really bother with small amounts.

So, I guess when it comes down to it,
Life really is about nice cars, a great job, and a family that will one day be the next Governors of the United States.

I've been lying to myself all along!

they fall under federal guidlines, you bet.. but our government helped bring this criminal enterprise to our land. go figure, and when they lost control of it.. then they start making laws and banning it. its a pretty shady area of black and white with very little gray area. we as citizens will never know the full truth behind it and honestly i dont want to know. all i do know is its here and chances are it will never go away.

Perhaps not. But life is about accepting that your choices are going to affect the rest of your life.

Marijuana users are significantly less likely to succeed to any noticable degree.

If you are content working jobs as were described, living with your parents or grandparents, never owning property, etc., more power to you.

But don't pretend that your choice to smoke "weed" shouldn't or won't affect your life in negative ways.

Personally, I think there is probably an argument to legalizing it to some extent. But it's not legal. As such, I would like to see all non-medical use prosecuted heavily.

Period.

maybe so, to a point but do realize how many government officials, presidents and others are succesful and use illegal substances. not making excuses just a question to ponder

You can smoke pot and you can still get an excellent job.
If someone wants to smoke pot, and also get a good job, the person will know when he or she should not in case of the drug test.

The marijuana isn't going to imapre their performance in any way.
If they were naturally not so bright and lazy, when they smoke weed they will probably be the same way.
However, if someone is already intelligent, if they are a hard worker, and they have the drive to do great things in their life, the weed is not going to change that.

It's almost like marijuana is this big scary monster that is going to ruin your journey, called Life.

Yes, but also look how much they are raked over the coals. Who remembers how much Clinton went through for "not inhaling". Shrub has a known alcohol and cocaine past. These things weigh on voters minds, although seemingly heavier when it's a Democrat than reTHUGlican.

The point is, yes people do it and succeed, yes some successful people used to do it, etc. But how many of them have you EVER heard defending their decision to ever have done or continue doing it?
