I wish I could say marijuana should be legal as people can make judgements for themselves and stop before they "ruin their lives" and all that, but.. Most people can't.
Well, they can, but they choose not to, and all that garbage.
I've smoked some marijuana but never really took it very far. It's fun and all that, but not any more fun than anything else I could do. And I just prefer being sober over intoxication. Mainly because once I have one single paranoid thought while tripping, it ruins my whole trip, and all I can think about is all the different ways I might break my legs or forget how to breathe, or some stupid crap like that.
A lot of people do only look at "well, X many people have completely screwed up their lives, so whatever substance it is that they used should be illegal" and it bugs me too. But not really for the same reason as it did Da Venom, or whoever it is that can't type all that well and seems a bit drugged out of their mind. It would be nice if people would just think about things before they get in too deep. But most don't, and so drugs get a bad reputation and whatnot.
Then one would argue (probably Joe (not an insult!)) with "Well, isn't the fact that the drug CAN do these bad things to the body enough to warrant the illegalization of the drug?"
Well, I don't think it is. If you take a whole lot of alcohol, Advil, whatever, you're in for a bad visit to the hospital. Or the morgue. My point is people should.. Just stop being so damn stupid..
And please keep in mind that there are in fact reasons for using drugs other than being "cool" and temporarily relieving stress. Believe it or not, people actually do enjoy the drug just for the drug, just like people enjoy video games, movies, books, whatever. They actually do enjoy it.
My mind is fried and I'm probably not making sense.
I am completely sober, I have been for over a year, and I've never done much of anything anyway. Never been drunk, been high on weed a few times, and that is all. I'm just a very, very strange person who will ramble on for hours and hours and then get sidetracked by a passing butterfly.
The end.
