Drugs are neither good or bad. People wouldn't have a bad opinion on them if they weren't told to have a bad opinion on them. Alcohol is still socially acceptable, yes, people are stupid with it, but it still doesn't get a bad opinion formed about it because of those people...the people get a bad rep, because they are idiots. I mean, come on...if heroin was being pushed in our faces during every commercial break, there wouldn't be a negative majority opinion on it either.
There are so many things wrong with this, I don't even know where to begin.
1) It is my right as a human being to consume whatever I want to, whenever I want to so long as I do not hurt another living soul while on this planet. Who are you to judge someone for their drug use?
2) The education in the states is HARDLY "good" compared to the majority of the world. In fact, we're one of the lowest rated. The country as a whole takes it's education for granted, and we're stuck with their sub-par lesson plans unless we can afford to drop THOUSANDS of dollars on a private school.
And what does Africa have to do with anything? They don't need education, they need food. What are they going to do with an education? Go out there and make something of themselves? Become a bio-engineer? Get real.
3) If he would have gotten caught, it wouldn't have done shit. He would have gotten in trouble. That's all. Even if there was a story printed in the local newspaper, it would be mostly constructed of lies and it would just promote ignorance about the drug. What's fucking new about that? It happens every day, even with other drugs. Even with other drugs that are said to have numerous positive effects, they still demonize them. It's no one's fault but the people in charge.
4) High school is for people who are not prepared to pursue real education. It's just government regulated busy work. Why do people go? That's the person's choice. I dropped out my junior year and am now in my second year at a local university. I could go into my credits and grades, but I don't need to prove to anyone that I do not lack intelligence.
Who the fuck are you kidding with this? Surely, you've done a swell job fooling yourself....I wish I could completely disregard reality like that.
