Who needs drugs when you've got music?

Csontos, I can relate, my friend. I've been smoking heavily since 16. I'm 34 now and have only been clean for about 5 months. I have a craving every once in awhile, and only by the grace of God was I ever able to stop in the first place. I agree with every word you said. I live here in Colorado where it's everywhere and relatively inexpensive. Many lives will be ruined because of it. It's pretty sad. I don't think you should take peoples choices or rights away, but I don't think pot is as harmless as most people would like to think it is. Sure, in moderation (once or twice a week) it may not be a big deal, but for many of us once or twice a week turns into once or twice a day before 10 a.m. for the rest of our lives. Being high of weed never added to my enjoyment of music or my stereo either. It's actually the opposite. Being sober and clear minded makes me enjoy the music, and so many other things that used to just go totally unnoticed.

That was the condensed version. As the church lady said, it's way more fun not being stoned.

To make your herbal recreation choices based on the fact that some people shouldn't use it since they clearly have a propensity for abuse of it, shouldn't matter to the rest of us. I don't want to sound like a NORML crusader because I don't care enough, but my sphere of friends, past and present, including ridiculously successful doctors, lawyers, writers, priests, atheists, musicians, parents, the childless, etc., have no issue with pot. They use it rarely or often...cancer survivor or audiophile...and they are all FINE.

People in intensive care need drugs. Just saying...

Wolf, you're responding to this thread. I don't believe you. I knew you are in denial as soon as you stated the word 'often'. Had you not, your post would have concurred with mine.
