Weed and Witchcraft

to restlesscrane7: http://www.drugwarrant.com/articles/...juana-illegal/ ...please, take a moment to actually read this. It’s just one of the many reasons why marijuana remains illegal: pure profit margins and human greed. Honestly, it’s much easier to throw out opinions when you hide behind the "I don't know until I try it" excuse to sound objective, but subjectivity doesn't actually help a debate when you have zero firsthand knowledge of the subject. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but only if it's rooted in actual facts.
As for my own experience—and I’ll be blunt here—I’ve been smoking weed almost every day for nearly 15 years. I’m 31 now, and (prepare to be shocked) I managed to graduate without any issues. Good grades, good behavior; clearly, the weed didn't ruin my academic career. I have a steady job (I even worked various part-time gigs while in college, and again, no issues there), and I am physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy. And yet, according to certain people, I should have been a total junkie by now, or under constant psychiatric supervision, or some other catastrophe. Ultimately, it comes down to the individual and, in my case, moderation. I don't light up a joint—or two—until I've checked off every single one of my daily responsibilities. For me, it's about chilling out and socializing (and occasionally managing my hyperactivity—aha! There's my one little flaw, damn it!). Once I do, I have no desire to do anything other than relax and have fun. So, duties first, then the greenery, and that’s how I manage to live a perfectly fine, happy life. 😁
