Marijuana and The Straight Edge
Why is it that Marijuana smokers are looked down upon. I have been the target of multipule attacks on my intellect, simply based on the fact that I smoke Marijuana. I understand that people have their pre-determined notations about things, but once someone has been educated on the facts, they really have no excuse for their ignorance. In fact, that makes it stupidity.
So you look at me and my kind as slackers, no-goals, and no intellect. No comman sence and no-good for anything but warming the couch. Thats fine, to be honest thats what it can be come. Easily. However, when used in a responsible manner, and not too much, I think it is a good thing.
You have to look at society. We are a drug society. We have drugs for everything. And Everything has drugs. Meaning a Dr will perscribe you a drug for whatever is wrong.Well we have people that have severe stress, and My gawd....marijuana is by far the greatest stress reliver next to sex. What? Its Illegal? Well would you rather take Depekote, or Paxil, what about Prozac? Have you taken a look at the side effects on these drugs? I suggest you do. People put far to much trust in the FDA. Remember the Phen-Fen ordeal?
