Potheads can't deal with reality? Wrong

Hate to burst your bubble but I know and have allot of good reasons other then it's illegal to hate it. Like what it does to your body or how it's a gateway drug. I was friends with a major pot head and he just didn't get anything I said he was so hooked on it. He lied about reason for it being good and called my facts worthless because I'm not using.AwesomePabloGetsHigh said:
Wrong. Absolutely wrong. People have perfectly good reasons to hate it. Take me for example, I have several friends who used to be respectable, reasonable people, then when pot became a part of their life they gradually changed, becoming insensitive, reckless assholes. I hate drugs because I've seen first hand how they can change people, and when people tell me that I have "no good reason", I can't help but feel that they must have changed, too.AwesomePabloGetsHigh said:
Pot gets a bad reputation the same way alcohol gets a bad reputation.
Sure, there are people who enjoy it for the sake of enjoying it and can do so responsibly. But, then there are the people who indulge in it to escape their problems or their "problems" instead of growing up and actually dealing with them. And then there are the idiots who get fucked up and decide it would be a good time to drive, or play with weapons, or operate heavy equipment.
That paragraph could be used to describe either one of those things with 100% equality and accuracy. Difference being that one is more illegal than the other.
I have never done either one, and never plan to.

I think a lot of people turn into dickheads after they start smoking weed because it's a new thing for them, and they have often just gotten involved in a lifestyle that they have half fantasized about. This is an atrocious paragraph, let me try again in a different fashion, as a kind of example.
I started smoking weed almost a year ago. I tried it a couple of times and then got into it a bit too much, 2 or 3 times a week for a month or so. Before this, I had always seen it as an almost taboo, nothing too bad, but generally frowned upon. As a result, when I started smoking, not only was I enjoying it, but I had added an aspect to my life that I had seen to be rebellious and for a different group of people, and I felt a little bit cool doing it. Being an extremely intelligent and profoundly wise person (and with a little help from my girlfriend), I realised I was being a bit of a dick, and that fun as it is, smoking weed is not cool.
I now smoke weed occasionally, maybe once every couple of weeks, and enjoy it simply for itself and hanging around with friends, and it is no cooler than drinking alcohol or wearing speedos.
Other people I've seen never quite let go of this idea that it's a cool thing, and they change their personality to suit their views, rather than the inverse.

At last, a pot smoker, or a smoker in general who has made a claim that he/she does it upon their own free will and are not drawn back by it! How refreshing.
Sadly, despite your efforts to explain to the community that you are different, its been done before, and more convincingly. You dont need to prove to us that you're secure. Just believe it and continue on.

I smoke pot often. I don't believe it's a gateway drug and I definitely don't believe that the drug can ruin one's life...
...Although I don't go randomly preaching on the streets and internet forums about it.

Grats, really.AwesomePabloGetsHigh said:
How often do you smoke pot? I find that those who smoke excessively (its there in the sentence, excessive) are those who are called potheads, and I find them to be too stupid for reality, not unable to handle it. I don't see a problem with people who smoke it occasionally however, except that they're risking being cought.
So what, is the Escapist a gang now? Instead of welcoming people here we do a vocal version of jumping in?
Well, that's how I joined this place, so I might as well join in on the hate.
OT: Thank you mister obvious...
Seriously, do you think we're too stupid to know these stereotypes are false? WTF is you thinken? I hate you. I want to eat your babies. Go fire in a die.
[sub]Welcome to the Escapist! And yes, the above is sarcasm.[/sub]

People handle stimulation differently then other people.
Good for you! Gold stars! Though i question why you need to validate this thought by posting it on the Internets! Almost as if your trying to justify something to yourself!
Some people use pot to escape there feelings. Some people use Alcohol. Some people use Cigarettes. Some people use mother fucking cake. Some people cut open there wrists. Any stimulant can be used responsibly and abused horribly. Fuck there have been people who are far far far more successful and happy then you will ever be that have used heroin and crack for large portions of there lives and lived to see there grand kids.
So yeah, give yourself an applause, you can manage a very minor substance. Now ask yourself, "Why do i need to validate this virtue on the internet to random strangers?"
