People like foshizzel17 make the exact same excuses for their behavior that drunks do, but I wonder what their answer would be if they stopped and asked if they would want their children engaging in exactly that same behavior once they got older.


Well at least we have a hotheaded stubborn buffoon with no experience with it to tell us all about it.

Im pulling ~40 a week at the liquor store, but that's gunna drop a little once I'm not the only stocker we have in the entire business, then I'll be doing 25-30 a week there and 15-30 at the pharmacy. At worst, I still get 40 hours, at best I'm raking in the dough around 60

In all seriousness, my hatred of marijuana stems from how I've seen it affect some of my friends. Obviously it doesn't affect everyone that way, but it's a destructive, dangerous substance that too many people approach with frivolity.

there are lots of things that consenting adults do that they wouldnt want their kids to do.....when they are kids. but im not naive enough to think my kids are going to grow up angels. they will see me drink beer and smoke cigs(even thou i try to hide the cigs from my 2yr old as much as possible) and of course i dont smoke pot in front of kids either. but if my 16 yr old comes to me and says they have tried pot, im not going to treat them like they just smoked a crack rock and throw them in rehab.


tbh, alcohol is the one i fear the most, cause its the most destructive. i just dont have any experience with someone ruining their life from pot

I don't disagree with this, biput I do wonder if your experiences cloud your overall perception. for instance, what percentage of pot smokers fall into this category, in your opinion?

yeah, i havent met the person JD is talking about. they might smoke pot, but they probably do a lot of other drugs too. cause a pot smoker just isnt motivated enough to ruin their life.

Most users realize they're doing something stupid and stop smoking pot at some point in their 20s, but obviously we have lots of news stories about athletes and celebrities ruining incredibly fortunate circumstances because they refuse to give it up.
