atsonicpark--

i'm in favor of people doing whatever they want-- if they want to commit suicide, that's their choice.

i'm not "defending" weed, i'm simply pointing at the relativity of things, your $100 in weed is someone else's $6.50 etc etc. there are people who take cough syrup a lot more often than you do.

addicts are gonna be addicts regardless of the substance being whiskey, heroin, weed, pills, meth, gambling, masturbation, etc.

i think nobody here is "in favor of addiction", that's a clear point yet one that nobody has hit on the head yet. so i'll repeat it-- clearly, nobody here is in favor of addiction.

most of us are for the right to do what you choose as long as it does not harm others.

most of us "disapprove" of people doing stupid shit-- any kind of stupid shit. but don't want to stop them if it's their choice.

the fact is, weed should be legal even if people can potentially abuse it, because many individuals can potentially enjoy it within reason, just like SO many other things that are legal but people abuse.

but is it worth a war to legalize weed? not in my view.

on that note, i'd better get back to work cos posting this is stupid for me right now-- on account of having work to do. shirking work is stupid, and i disapprove of my actions. bye.
