Let me just say once and for all that I find the idea of "National Marijuana Day" to be absolutely disgusting. I've seen what long-time use of it can do to people. Maybe it won't kill you, but it can still fuck you over bad.

Just ask my ex-bf who's going to need Viagra at the age of 30. Or my HS friends whose marks went from high 90s in grade 12 to 57s in grade 13. (Mind, both were heavy users, but it is possible.)

Don't believe me? Go look up the info at places like Health Canada.

Or just keep fucking yourself over. Whatever floats your boat.

Marijuana can be really fucking great sometimes.

That's all I'm saying.

I've seen it destroy too many people to agree, I'm sorry.

Destroy too many people? Jesus, nut, you sound like you're in a fxxkin soap opera. XD

I don't care. It's the truth. Maybe if it hadn't fucked over so many people I used to be close to, I would feel the same way about it as I do cigarettes and alcohol. But I've seen how it can fuck someone's life over, how "occasionally" becomes "often" becomes "daily" becomes a problem.

ahh well actually I kinda commend Canada for being more accepting on the medicinal use thing.. it's hard to say - I think marijuana is less scary then alcohol if you are going to drive a car..but still both should be avoided...

As for 'national marijuana day'... I don't know about that...is it like an underground thing or what? there is an annual hashbash at UoMich..

I tried it for my endometriosis..but it just made me feel crappier..
*sigh*

Oh wait - I should apologize...I might sound insensitive.. as I'm sure your exb/f was a total jerk.. it's different when you have MS or glaucomo and it relieves pain.. and when you just are partying..

>><< glaucomo.. gahhh what a stupe

I meant glaucoma and not to sound like some avocado party dip

Maybe just thinking about pot makes you stupid!

*nods* I have no problem with people who use it in moderation with supervision for medical reasons. It's people who use it for recreation that piss me off.

I live in a rich neighbourhood full of spoiled brats with nothing better to do with their time than to get high. Needless to say, I've grown to hate the drug.

Too much of anything is bad for you [sugar, alcohol, cigarettes, weed, drugs, anti-depressants, pain killers etc], and that is that. It all depends on whether you abuse it or not.

And I've seen far too many people abuse it. So negative attitude stays.

Pity.

You try watching someone you love have their life ruined by something and then try to have a positive opinion about it. Doesn't work so well.

Uh, yeah, I do, and he's called my dad. He does weed and has "anti-depressants" that fuck him over. And it's not really the "weed's fault" it's the people that use it that cause themselves the trouble they get themselves into. Same with alcohol. You drink too much, you're gonna get drunk. You do too much weed, you're gonna get fucked over. Doesn't happen to everyone, but it does happen.

Exactly why I think having a day to celebrate such a thing is stupid. We don't have national alcohol day or national anti-depressant day, do we? Humans are always going to do things that are bad for them, it's in our nature. We're a masochistic race as a whole.

Think of it this way: not everyone who cuts themselves is seriously hurt, but then some... well, I'm sure you'd know better than most.

Needless to say, if you want to do it, go ahead, but I don't have to like it and I can chose not to do it for myself.

I actually didn't know that this was "National Marijuana Day" until today. The idea of it, however, makes me cringe. I don't like drugs period, anyway, and the idea of it being a national holiday creeps me out.

It's more of an underground thing than an officially recognized one, but yes. I am not impressed. Let us also start a day for alcohol, cigarettes, heroin, and self-mutilation. That way every bad habit can be celebrated! *rolls eyes* Like I said in earlier comments, I have no problem with some things in moderation. But others... I simply can't approve of. I've seen what they can do and don't want to see it again.

Nya, I agree with you. Some of my junior high friends started smoking it last year and they are all kinda screwed up now. They drink alcohol and sleep around... it's like they're not the same people anymore. (shrug)
