I smoke weed, that is my decision. If you did not know that about me and we met on the street one day you I am sure we would get along just fine. I simply don't understand why you look down on me for such a reason.
Marijuana, What are your thoughts?

Is it because you have simply painted me as a stereotypical stoner?
I assure you I am a functioning member of society. Full time job, living on my own, pay my taxes, blahblahblah. I would really like to know.

anyone who indulges in pot, or booze in a small way, just
as I have my coffee once a day, isn't any harm to anyone,
it's the boozers, the stinky smokers, and the obvious
druggies who are the useless, stinky boring ones.

It is a good medicinal herb as well as a good stone, If you are into that. I quite a long time ago because I reached a plateau and now I don't enjoy smoking it but I do drink it in tea occasionally as a pain killer and muscle relaxant or when I have a cold. It should be legalized so people can grow their own and cut out the criminal element. It is a beautiful and fascinating plant that most gardeners would enjoy growing.
Don't let the avatar fool ya; I'm a right wing, gun toting, member of the Conservative Party of Canada.............but when you're right, you're right....
Or perhaps I should say when you are correct, you are correct.
Or, "when you are right, you are correct!" :lol:
It's funny how some people will ask you your opinion when all they really eant to do is argue.
I don't think anyone thinks you're evil or condemning you- you are just better off without it, unless there is medicinal ramifications.
One of the reasons why it should be legalized IMO. We have lost the war on this one.
Do you know why there was a war on it in the first place? It certainly had nothing to do with it being harmful in any way.
Just as dangerous as alcohol, maybe more so. Marijuana use is much more dangerous that believed and hundreds of young people die each year in "accidents" caused by their prolonged use of the drug, according to Britain's most senior coroner. Hamish Turner, the president of the Coroners' Society, told The Telegraph that the marijuana, often portrayed as harmless, has increasingly been the cause of deaths that have been reported as accidents or suicides.
"Cannabis is as dangerous as any other drug and people must understand that it kills," said Mr Turner. "From my long experience I can say that it is a very dangerous substance. Increasingly it is mentioned not only as the first drug taken by people who overdose, but also in suicides and accidental deaths.
Marijuana Causes Many Deaths Reported as 'Accidents'
Bottom line is why does anyone need these to make them feel good?

Sorry, but that is pure BS propaganda. The scientific evidence does not support this clowns assertions. Number one, the first drug anybody takes in the world is sugar. It alone is the gateway drug that hooks those who are prone to addiction. Only about 20% of people are prone to addiction. They go on to be alcoholics, cigarette smokers, coffee drinkers and a few advance to crack, cocaine, heroine and speed.
Sugar is our first experience with altered consciousness. We spend billions to get our kids addicted. We put it in just about everything we eat and drink. It rots out teeth and causes all sorts of debilitating disease (diabetes). But we would rather point our finger at a harmless herb and get all bent out of shape while our governments and industries wreak havoc among the population. And The US government is the world leader in hysterical reactions to anything pot.
I suppose you never drink or smoke, never do antihistamines or other pharmaceutical drugs to make yourself feel better. Yup, pure as the driven snow, I'm sure.
What research, verified by what medical/scientific body? I'm not totally against pot usage but there has been very little research documented even by Europeans, who are much more liberal on the drug.
Wrong. Sugar is not a drug but one of the compounds utilized by living organisms to recover/utilize energy. It has nothing to do with the other substances you listed.
From my personal experiences, I don't care for marijuana. The buzz was ok but the 3 day brain dead period after was something I found detrimental, especially in college. And beer always tasted better to me.
I'm not against decriminalization but I am firm believer that much more research needs to be done before it is legalized, that also includes coming with ways to determine and control the potency before it can be marketed, just as brewers/distillers have to with alcohol.
No, I do not. At the most 1 glass wine with dinner, maybe once a month if that. (British sources)

That avatar is obviously a early photo. What happened to your hair?........;-):lol:
I smell it constantly in the city where I live, obviously like anything else some people abuse it but overall it's NBD.
