Marijuana

[sleeplessdragn]

Hmmm I havn't browsed these forums in quite some time so I'll drop my two cents in here:

I've tried marijuana myself, on many an occasion, and like Jewpin, I don't smoke, drink, or do anything else. And it's just as he described it, though I was more focused on the loss of time measurement. Marijuana puts you into a comic strip, time flows in blocks, yet every instance of time is vividly, and I mean very vividly, remembered. The ability to focus on a single task is immeasureable, and I recall a certain high where I found myself threading a needle repeatedly with great ease. For me, it is like engaging in a video game, to a certain extent. It takes my brain off of my priorities, relaxed in a way where your responsibilities aren't even at the back of your mind. When was the last time you can recall where you had not needed to worry about <u>anything</u>, not school, not friends, not summer homework, etc.? I think that is a huge difference, and it is what keeps me using. Now I'm not a daily stoner, I've recognized my choices and mostly use the experience as a small vacation from life every few months.

From my perspective, the whole argument on the drug really depends on the choices of the user. I think that it should be treated like alcoholic beverages, and they show similarities. There does exist the subtle drinker, who has a beer or a glass of wine from time to time, and there to exists the alchoholic, whose liver fails at the age of 35. Yet as a society we feel that alcohol is a requirement for regular function; one need only to revisist the days of prohibition to recognize that. And just like drunkness, car accidents are inevitable when on high. So why are these drinks tolerated, but not this drug?
