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.

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.
