Man if you dude can't answer a simple question in an debate I can not take you seriously. It's like forfeiting.

My friend is stoned 24/7.

He is way cooler than any of you guys.

Let that one sink in.

[TheRaiRaiEatsBalloons]

The fact that I was stoned when I went to the doctor's on Tuesday before I went to the hospital for surgery and neither my parents or the doctors questioned me should also tell you something about how little it impairs you. B)

Not to mention I had the munchies VERY bad and I didn't eat anything that whole day, and it certainly didn't make me go mad to go find food or anything dumb like you suggested.

So anyways i went to bed.

I don't play football, i just watch it passionately(and have season tickets to the team in my sig)

I'm not sure how answering all my points with "if you're dumb" or "if you're high" somehow excuses it. The point of smoking weed IS to get high, last time i checked, so how is that an excuse?

[TheRaiRaiEatsBalloons]

The point was that those risks only exist for the duration of the time that you're high, and if you're responsible, you're fine.

The key word is "if you're responsible"

Responsible people don't do drugs.

That is a colossaly ignorant statement, and by saying it you make obvious that you're under the immensely false impression that all people who use psychoactive substances are the "druggies" in your high school and 30-year-old bums etc.

You are far to ignorant to even suggest that you have any idea what you're talking about.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsible_drug_use

Just as there are responsible drinkers, there are responsible weed smokers and responsible drug users.
If you can't at least accept this, than you have clearly blindly closed your mind out of primitive and immature instinct simply for the sake of argument (and/or because your gym coach told you to).

[Mindfields]

Anybody can submit whatever the **** they want to Wikipedia. For all we know you could have wrote all of that up yourself just to say that you're right.

[sertman]

"Critics believe that recreational drug use is inherently irresponsible (in that drug use is potentially dangerous, is a selfish or fruitless escape from reality, and is illegal in many societies) and that drugs can therefore never be used "responsibly"."

That's pretty much why it's irresponsible. It's illegal, stupid, and has consequences... but of course everything that is against drug use is just "propaganda" to you, so of course you won't listen.

And for someone that doesn't believe that .gov is a credible source, then I'm suprised you even look at wikipedia.

No, not all of it. But a lot of it is, yes.

Also, just because anyone can write to wikipedia doesn't make it a bad source. People you don't know write other websites and conduct studies also.

The philosophy of responsible drug use—which applies to alcohol, tobacco, and medical products as much as to any other drugs—asserts that to use drugs responsibly one must adhere to the following principles:

Understanding and educating oneself on the effects and legality of the drug being consumed

Weighing accurate dosages and taking other precautions to reduce the risk of overdose

Taking the time to chemically test all drugs being consumed to determine purity and strength

Not driving, operating heavy machinery, or otherwise being directly or indirectly responsible for the safety or care of another person while intoxicated

Having a trip sitter when taking a drug with which one is not familiar

Being honest with others about drug use

Not attempting to trick or persuade anyone to use a drug they are not willing to use

Not allowing drug use to overshadow other aspects of one's life

Being morally conscious of the source of their drugs

If you can't accept that by following those rules, people aren't destroying their lives or harming society, then there is either seriously something wrong with you, or you are, as I said, blindly unwilling to accept that your original point isn't completely right.

I'm not hurting your by smoking weed, and I am certainly not destroying my life. Deal.

I don't think you could have made a more dumbass statement.

Any old shmuck can edit wikipedia and say whatever the hell they want. The people who conduct studies are ones with medical degrees and PH.Ds and have years of experience in the medical field. That's why they're RELIABLE SOURCES, not PROPAGANDA.

Just because someone has a PhD doesn't mean they're not feeding you bullshit. Propaganda generally comes from what appears to be a reliable source, and is usually put into place by the government which will do what they can to scare people into doing things that they don't want you to do. Most big anti-drug sites are actually run in the back by the government.

[EDIT - Also, no matter who wrote that wikipedia article, it doesn't make any difference whatsoever in this case, as it's not presenting medical facts or anything, it's presenting the general set of a responsible drug user, and whoever wrote it doesn't change that list of why thousands and thousands of responsible drug users generally do. I and MANY others use drugs responsibly, there are many communities you can easily find on the internet based around it, and you can't deny that they exist based on the fact that anyone could have written the wikipedia article for it]

By the way, it seems like you're under the impression that we're supposed to be yelling at each other like children. I'm trying to be assertive, quit textually charging like a raging dickhead and discuss the matters at hand with me.

My point is that there is nothing wrong with me or anyone else responsibly smoking bud.
Do you even know what being high actually IS? Like, what it literally does.

Hey, I've smoked Marijuana. I drink two shots of tequila about every other night. I got to college full time. I work everyday after school. I'm passing all my classes. Last semester I made the Dean's List.

So am I irresponsible?

I smoke marijuana most nights, and I am a musician. I spend most of my time listening to music or experimenting with rhythms, melodies, or sounds. One can percieve more when stoned, so I often smoke a bit before I listen to music. I am fascinated with the arts. I never put my life or anyone else's life into jeopardy when I am lit up. I am a very rational and logical person. I make advanced marks on all standardized tests.

I am irresponsible?
