Alcohol doesn't seem to have the same incapacitating or demotivating effect as dope.
Nor does it completely take over peoples lives, I don't know anyone who jabbers on the internet about how awesome their next beer is going to be for example

Show me what science you're using to show that marijuana is more debilitating in the long-term than alcohol, even for your mild drinker and/or college partier. You don't see people dying from THC overdose on college campuses in the US. You DO see them dying from alcohol poisoning constantly. You don't see marijuana helping people along to do their latest dumbass stunt. You DO see people throwing back quite a few drinks and suddenly thinking they're the Man of Steel and nothing can harm them.

Sorry, but in moderation, weed is a lot less likely to destroy your life than alcohol. Anything used to the extreme will always produce extreme results. People who smoke LOTS of weed every day for their entire life certainly may not be the most motivated of people, but in comparison to someone who smokes a joint or a bowl every now and again after a long, hard week is not likely to be a complete drain on society.

Alcoholism is probably the number one disease of the middle class - and no one seems to really talk about it. Guarantee if they switched to pot they'd be a lot happier. I've yet to meet a person who was unhappy while smoking. I've met LOTS of people who lose their minds and become violent when they drink.

Sorry Dilbert, but you're totally wrong here.

Dilbert, bro, just be a man and admit defeat.

Only thing dislike about most pot users in the states is that they go "MAN I WANT MORE WEEd. WEED IS THE SHIT NIGGER OK MANG. MANG I WAS SO HIGH LAST NIGHT!"

Its the culture that surrounds it that annoys me. I'm sure in Europe people don't really give a flying fuck, but in America people make such a big deal around it (same with alcohol, but weed is way more).

thats because youre still a child

they do the same thing about nudity. not hardcore porn, nudity - look what happened at the superbowl, costume malfunction blah blah blah. signs of a fucked up, insecure, neurotic and emotional society tbh . . .

People that make a huge deal out of weed in the way you're referring to Cybargs are simply children. Most Americans are like that with alcohol, too. It's amazing that up until the age of 30, alcohol is like the greatest thing in the world for the vast majority of Americans. It's just amazing the lack of maturity that you average American under the age of 30 has.

people like dilbert will never see the 'wrong' because there is no concept of rational thinking towards drugs

it's the old societal instructions that "drugs = bad mm'kay", with the convenient blindspot being turned towards more-harmful drugs that have just been kept legal for tax/economy reasons, despite their social and familial damage.

/thread.  Uzi summed it up very well.

Sorry, but I still hear alcohol stories from late 20 year old Americans more than I from similar-aged Europeans...

too easy

I don't like giving mexicans money.

who cares what other people do with their lives

Thats mainly the people that think smoking herb makes them cool or unique and that they need to advertise that shit to everyone.

Plenty of freshman in my school sit there and talk about that fat, "90 sack" they got last month, like in front of the teacher. They're retarded and probably not going anywhere - this isnt all tokers though

Most people at my school dont even know that I smoke herb but I'm a bit deeper in than that, I dont advertise, theres no reason to - only bad things can come from people knowing anything about your activities



Look though, before I started toking I wasn't even aware of this whole community of drug users. I just figured dumb kids with no aspirations wasted their lifes by toking up and that people were fools for picking it up. But I've really learned since then, and It's been interesting meeting people from all over the place with a common trait: expanding your mind and horizons with drugs

Yeah, that sounds fucked up for someone who isn't into that type of thing, but it really isn't. If I told you I smoke weed to make myself happy and non-suicidal, what would you think? That I shouldn't abuse an illicit drug, that I should go to a psychologist and get some anti-depressants? Well what are anti-depressants? Drugs.

Everything is drugs these days, Oxycontin is basically synthetic heroin, and if you tell me painkillers and prescription drugs are better than heroin because there are studies and doctors and corporations behind it I'd say you may be wrong. Pretty much every person I see take painkillers ends up worse than the initial pain involved. I don't mess with painkillers basically.


But guys, if you've never taken any hallucinogenic substance your seriously missing out on life. I know, again, that sounds bad, but it really isn't. When you think of hallucinogen you probably think, "why would I want shit to move around in my vision, why is that better than being drunk? Hallucinogens are hard drugs I'm not messing with that" But really, hallucinogens flip your perspective on life, things like DMT and salvia when used correctly can drastically change someones outlook on life, the shamans in mesoamerica used a lot of the now popular hallucinogens like: ayahuasca, salvia divinorum and mushrooms in their rituals

The drugs that are in "illegal drugs" are already in your brain, in low amounts, and your brain has receptors for them. I truly believe that certain hallucinogenic drugs are keys to unlocking your brain, and I plan on casually and slowly expanding my horizons.

Please note that you CAN over do hallucinogens, and if used incorrectly (like a lot of idiots do) they can do damage. You body needs to RECHARGE all the chemicals it uses on these psyconaut journeys - whenever I hear someone say, "Yeah, I roll e every weekend" I cringe, MDMA depletes serotonin levels and should realistically only be taken every 3 weeks with some vitamin supplements to help out. And people wonder why their so depressed and their souls feel snuffed out...


But people, before you take any drugs, find out what your getting into. Knowledge is power. Check out a very reliable site called www.erowid.org and read about that drugs health concerns, trip reports, dosing, images of the drug, other alerts, etc.

In closing, you guys can read the above, shake your head and tell me that I'm lost and a loser, but it really doesn't matter what you think. I'm doing something that I don't believe is wrong, or more dangerous than crossing the street. I research everything that I do/take, I even research what I will never take (Heroin, meth, etc.) because I still believe it is interesting. I'm the kind of person that will put his own beliefs aside to listen to what another person is saying just for pure interest and the will to expand my knowledge, and understanding. Most people who are very heavily anti drug will not even listen, and that makes me a little sad but, "people are people" and I cant do anything to change them nor do I want to change them

Also, not saying DO DRUGS BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING IF YOU DON'T, I'm letting you in on why people take drugs and I'm trying to give you a different way to look at something that is as human as war

nobody probably read but I woke up at 1am with a full nights rest so this sucessfully killed some time
