Does he "just smoke weed" or is he a hardcore stoner?

Either they kill themselves or they face up to their problems. People bitch about everything bad in their life yet you don't see them doing anything about it. It's isn't my problem that he has no parents, I don't see why we should legalize weed just so people like him can go to the store and buy it, just to become not depressed for a brief time.

I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, but that is just my opinion of low-life stoners (or any low life drug addict). If you have to resort to drugs, get your ass to the ****ing mental hospital so you can re-enter society as someone who is worth something to someone.

And i think they should sell it in stores, such as cigarettes, and alcohol. I feel most peple do it to rebel, now im not saying legalizing it will make everyone stop, but it will free up our courts of stupid cases of a teen with a joint on him.

Well I agree with you there. The only reason why people do drugs (aside from addiction) is to be cool. Why? Because that's what the big shot rappers and wiggers do on TV. Rap culture has taught us it's ok to be in gangs and to do drugs. Kids are stupid these days, they'll listen to what music and tv tells them to do. Pitiful.

And, if it was legalized, yes, I do think age limits should be set and anyone who tries to sell it to younger ones get's my foot in their ass (aka let's say... a 2000 dollar fine, possibly more).

Weed doesnt make you stupider,It impares you for the short term, but only while your high. Much as alcohol, that doesnt necesarily make you stupider, except when your drunk.
Ex. My dad has been smoking weed for a number of years now ( since the 60's) and he went to University for years to study to be a computer systems technician or analyst. He used to be the manager of all the power in the vancouver area for B.C. Hydro. But now his part was bought out by Accenture business services, and now he is a Systems manager of Half of B.C.'s power ( along with a few other guys)
Now surely, if it made you stupider, he would always be veging out on the couch, but no, he holds a good job with good pay.

I am glad to hear that your Dad has a good job. However, it is a fact that weed/alcohol/whatever slowly deteriorates brain cells. This also depends on how often you do it, and what volume is consumed. There are numerous factors. I mean if you smoke a lot of weed a day in the end you are going to be right ****ed in the head.

I'll be honest, I'll drink with my friends. But it is not daily excessive drinking. It's casual. On the other hand, "casual" weed smoking wouldn't be too bad, but still, I would hate to hear the cheers of victory of the hardcore stoners at my school, I would be depressed myself.
