Serious questions about pot smokers

[The Flaming Red Head]

92. If someone drinks coffee everyday does caffeine make them a different person

maybe. What about sugar, maybe.

You sound very young and unsure about pot and whether it makes someone a bad person. I would say no it doesn't change who or what someone is and if you had to choose between a hard drinker or someone who regularly smokes weed, then i would tell you to choose the pot head. Potheads are less likely to be volatile, mean, and combative than alcoholics . Even if liquor is the legal drug, it is still much worse for you and society, in every way, than pot (physically, mentally, socially)

I would suggest that since you are a non smoker, that you make a rule that smoking pot will be done outside, the garage or only in a designated well ventilated area or room that you deem ok. You have that right and it helps to set boundaries in any relationship and i know couples who have that rule where one smokes and the other doesn't and they do really good and have longterm committed partnerships. But remember if you want to try pot without smoke that pot comes in edible forms, so if you don't like to smoke, you might like a try a sucker, a pastry or a cake. i even had some THC oil that you rubbed on your skin.

As for drugs and weed in particular to me it's about civil liberties, person freedom, and autonomy.

I actually think all drugs should be legal for all adults. If there is no children involved and you're not hurting anyone, the government should stay out of our bodies and homes.

I always thought that testing was more about disenfranchising whole segments of society, punishing people for making different life style choices and discouraging liberal thinking and keeping certain groups ( by arresting them and putting felonies on their record) from even being able to access a ballot box to change things.

The war on drugs is a war on our citizens. Having a standing army against our own citizens and then harassing them, confiscating their property, and then putting our own people in for profit jails to work as slaves for corporations is not what the Preamble in the Declaration of Independence is talking about.

The older I get the more impatient i get with our government (right and left) and the drugs laws they continue to pass and uphold and the whole thing looks even more unfair to me in my 40s then it did when i was a teenager.

It's hypocritical and evil and vile for pharmaceutical companies to shove amphetamines ( Adderall, Ritalin) down young children's throats and then wonder why they are doing meth or coke 10 years down the road. Most gateway drugs are handed out in elementary school by teachers, nurses, and parents. Kid's first encounter with drugs is at a very early age, ADD drugs, anti-depressants, and benzo's are given to school age children to make them more socially acceptable, easier to control inside and outside of the classroom, (this also makes share holders in drug companies rich. Who are the real drug dealers?) This sets all our children up for a lifetime of reaching for chemical solutions to life's problems and we wonder why there is a drug problem in our country.
