Mikey I understand the point of your thread. You want to show people that think Weed is evil that it isn’t. Weed is cool, fun, enjoyable, and isn’t really that harmful. Your point of view is somewhat of a sheltered point of view from what you have said though. From what you have told everyone your mom makes really great money, and keeping that in mind, would mean that you live in a really nice neighborhood, go to a really safe school, and lack for nothing in life. So your experiences with weed are getting high, watching TV, laughing, and eating a bag of chips. You bright and shining colors to paint a picture when it comes to Weed.

But there are many colors that can be used to paint this picture and some of them are dark and dingy. I grew up in an inner city where drugs were plentiful and the things I saw were not all laughs and fun.

1. Man gets high abducts a six year old by knife point and forces the little boy to do things only taking breaks to smoke a little more weed. Man lets the boy go but tells him that if he says anything that the Man would kill the boys family.

2. Man gets high and beats his wife and kids.

3. Man gets high and molests his wife’s little brother.

4. Kids get high and drive their car off a bridge.

5. Kid gets high and decides to see what would happen if he jumped off the top of a house.

6. Man needs to smoke weed so bad that he gets high the night before a urine test. He ends up going to jail for breaking his probation.

7. Man who decides that weed just isn’t enough so he moves on to cocaine, meth, and crack.

These are not in any statistics. The above are just a few real life events that may not make up the norm of what happens when a person gets high. But they have happened and do happen. So, if you really want more knowledge about the subject, you should try and not be so closed minded to others beliefs and experiences. If you think it’s all flowers and sunshine then fine, but don’t try and trivialize the experiences of others.

Ohhh and before you ask I was involved personally to every event in the list. You see I’m not myopic on this subject. I have real life to support my beliefs. They aren’t born from church, government, or emotionalism; it’s born from real life experience not any propaganda.

So if you really want to be knowledgeable about the entire picture, you have to also see the dark underbelly that drugs have. Yes, even pot.

I know that what I say will fall on deaf ears because in my experience the most closed minded people I have ever met are the people that scream that others are being closed minded. These “open minded” people only believe you to be open minded if you change your views and beliefs to match theirs. If you have your own views and beliefs then you are closed minded or have been brainwashed by government, church, or other organizations. Because you couldn’t possibly believe the way you do if it were not true. HUH how closed minded of them to believe others can’t come to their own conclusions.


On the topic of making pot legal, I have no opinion. My only point is that people should truly “Learn before they judge”, and that means to understand all points of view not just their own. And once they have seen all sides then they should be free to make there own conclusions.
