I'm not a drug user, I'm a cannabis user

I got the idea for this thread the other day. Basically, its like a brag session for you to list everything amazing and impressive you have achieved in your life and everything you are proud of, and then end it with "I'm not a drug user, I am a Cannabis user." Maybe if we get enough of these that are good, someone can compile them and send them to some representatives or something. It also might help new and even old members get to know a little about the people that choose to reply. Maybe it could be stickied? Anyways, I'll go first:

I am a loving and caring son, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend.
I am a responsible pet owner.
I placed second in YMCA State Swimming in 2003.
I earned an Associates degree in education.
I am a University business and marketing student.
I am a self taught musician; a skilled bassist and a novice guitarist and drummer.
I am an employee serving individuals with special needs for going on 6 years.
I am not a drug user, I am a Cannabis user.


OK, mine isn't that impressive but that's all I could think of off the top of my head. I'm sure most of you will have better stuff, so go for it!

I am a recovering Catholic and believe with all my heart that all religions are wrong
I am a former heroin addict
I am a former cocaine addict
I was awake for 5.5 years on meth but sleep every day clean from drugs
I have nerve damage from LSD
I don't drink alcohol
I am a motorcycle mechanic and own over $10,000.00 in tools I paid for with my hard earned money.
I own 3 classic hot rod motorcycles
I have a wife I love with all my heart
I smoke weed and don't do or approve of drugs

oh nice thread, it'll be good to show for kids trying to convince parents that cannabis isnt bad or anyone else for that matter.

I take part in daily excercises early in the morning.
I graduated highschool.
I attend college full time student accounting program.
I am a self taught guitar player.
I work part time at a restaurant.
I attended second language classes.
I went to math school for a short time till mid highschool.
I am a loving friend and a loving family member.
I am not a drug user, I am a Cannabis user.

but cannabis is a drug

No its not. You may think that, and that proves how wrong you are.

Cannabis is NOT a drug, its a plant. Magic Mushrooms are not drugs, simply a mushroom.

Plants are not drugs.

THC is a drug thats a fact

the point is that instead of associating cannabis with drugs, we instead associate it with leading a successful life. cannabis IS technically considered a drug, so is alcohol, but stop arguing and just do it.

ya i know im just making sure people arent denying the facts. ok ill do this:

i am a cannabis user i have good grades

i am healthy, regular exercize

i have many friends and a great family

i approve of drug use it is personal choice and dont feel the need to justify the fact that i smoke.

and like everyone else said already you took something other than lsd because it is physically harmless. i know everyone likes to think it is some super bad drug but in reality it isnt any worse for you than weed unless you get a massively huge dose. also if you do it too much you might just have more truth than you can handle

the point of the thread is not to denounce other drugs or say you don't use them. hell, you can inject heroin into your juggular for all i care; to each their own. the idea is to post positive things in your life and then put "I am not a drug user, I am a Cannabis user." its more of a good press kind of thing for marijuana that i am trying to get across. that every day people can smoke weed and still function in society, hold jobs, have friends, be active, etc. kind of a slap in the face to the anti drug commercials that say you won't do anything with your life if you smoke weed. and try to avoid general statements like "i have friends" or "I have a job." talk about how long you've worked at the job, the field its in, use lots of adjectives and stuff to describe what kind of friend you are. get it now?

I failed all my exams cause I was 2 busy smokin weed
I go on the rob 2 buy weed
My family all hate me cause I have a bad attitude and am obsessed with my next joint
When I have a joint my only friends are the voices in my head
I owe thousands of £ in debt
I am uneducated
I am an ugly bastard
I never excercice and am rather large
I`d bend over 4 some weed.
I have a long criminal record
When I can`t get weed I am violent
I`d rather die than go without weed

I am a cannabis user not a drug user


I`m just givin ya`ll a balanced opinion:rasta:

haha, of course

Im a the most caring guy you could meet

I put others needs before my own

Im a great listener

I love to learn, the more knowledge the better

I take pleasure in the smaller things in life, like a bird singing on frosty morning

I graduated from high school and went onto furthur education

Im able to hold down a steady job

I have a fantastic gf, whom i adore

I have a love for all living things, no matter how small

Im a loving son, brother, nephew, friend, boyfriend

I chase and fulfill my abitions

I dont worry about what others think of me, im me!

I dont break the law, only infringe it!

I am a cannabis user not a drug user!

drugs are something man made like synthetic heroin or pills.

weed is a herb and a plant.

Spot on mate, thats exactly how i feel. I like you.

I only got one bad grade out of 10 when i left school this year.
I love life at the moment.
I've never done any illegal drugs besides cannabis and its all ill ever do.
I am not a drug user, I am a Cannabis user.

How big of a suprise can this be, you know LIP is passionate about weed i mean look at his sigs excluding the quote about the christmas swiss roll.

Weed is everything to me. Weed is the ONLY thing i have EVER truely belived in, thats why i get so pissed over it.

But like i said, if ANY of you alot knew the real me you'd understand.

Thankyou Hypnotised Mind, you seem to know me.

i agree with everything you have said on this topic lip.
i agree with hynotized too

the word drug is probably bad by association. tylenol is a drug that will help. i think weed had just been pushed into the drug category because it was suddenly deemed bad by the government and the rest is history
i dont think the word drug or drugs in general is bad at all.

but all in all i dont think a plant should not and cannot be called a drugwe all have our opinions yeah , cheerio.

lagstronaut i think the relax isnt the best thing you can say to someone whose pissed off. if i were lip i'd cuss you off too for saying that to me.

Lip is the best right now
You tell them Lip

Thanks man, i love ya. [dont be getting any ideas tho rofl ;) ]

Aww you are into guys Lip?
Too bad I'd totally date you right now =D

Girl? Im a bloke, at least get it right. You just proved my point beyond recognition by being so childish and still trying to insult me.

I think your a copper because you joined in January, but only have a few posts, and tbh i just think your a copper. gut feeling, Prove me wrong.

forgiven! :)

Still wanna date me after that mishap? rofl :D

Cannabis has THC in it which is a drug but he doesnt mean it's a drug made in a lab to make people get addicted. (like minorities) heroin crack and coke etc.. It's a natural thing grown it's a plant. Sure people have tampered with it in labs to make people get super dope high and what not but it's just a plant i say

I mean like every vitamen on this planet comes out of something... so should i call an orange a drug

and also it is a drug but it shouldnt be in the category of other drug because cannabis doesnt kill people. people kill people for cannabis. i say they should just stop all the violence and legalize it.

To call Cannabis a drug would be moving the cause backwards.
Heroin and coke were once plants but were "Tampered with" making it a drug, Cannabis is not tampered with it is normal from seedling to the chronic in your fuckin bowl.
drugs are bad and cannabis is great.

love it or hate it.
