i hope im within the rules and apoligize if im not. I just know im not alone and im tired of this propaganda spreading.
Well...honestly I really don't know what kind of input you want from us but I'll tell you that you are right in that millions of people in America smoke pot. In fact I'm willing to bet there are more people who have tried it than there of people who didn't try it. I think there's maybe 12 people I know of who never once tried it. Now you would think the reason for that is because I'm a stoner hippy who hangs out with a bunch of other stoner hippies. Actually I'm not a hippy at all but a college student with a 3.7 gpa and who is planning on either going to Law School or going to Grad School to pursue a career in Political Science. I'm probably one of the nerdiest people you will ever meet but I'm also one of the biggest pot heads you'll ever meet. My group of friends aren't even hippies. I mean I have a couple hippy friends but most of my friends are emos, goths, regular people, nerds, dorks, crazy people, jocks, preps. You name it. And even when I continue on in my career, I may stop smoking regularly (for obvious reasons) but my position on Marijuana will forever be the same.
I mean even when you consider the people who are pot heads and have a shitty life....its just their lives you know? I mean the worst thing they're going to do is sit on a couch and watch tv while holding a bull shit job at a grocery store or something. Should they really get in trouble for irresponsibility in their own lives?
What iris said...at best, stoners are introspective and creative individuals with the potential to rise above the drug-free rabble. At worst, they're lazy and apathetic, traits that do no real harm except in wasted opportunity, and really, who cares?
Top arguments I'd use for the reform of the laws:
1. Comparison with alcohol
2. Refudiation of scare stories (doesn't actually kill brain cells, etc.)
3. Reasons it became illegal (yellow journalism, racism)
4. Uselessness of the laws and cost to taxpayers
5. The fact that a conviction for pot does about 400 times more harm than pot itself EVER could
