It depends on the quality. If the quality is shit, which it largely is on this backwards little island, then people who are depressed in some way will more likely progress onto smack or something so they actually feel some kind of euphoric high.

In the absence of quality marijuana I have often found myself abusing alcohol and tobacco.

However, the high I achieve with marihuana is complementary to an already existing high achieved through working out, hill walking and yoga. There is no requirement for me to progress onto something stronger because if I want to get more high then all I have to do is get more exercise and eat as plenty of healthy ayurvedic food.

I could sit alll day pulling their argument apart, until there is nothing left behind it than blind stupidity. It's a waste of time. I just think myself lucky to have something nice to put in my pipe, and I can get away with smoking it without too much fear of presecution, which as we all know does have a tendency to mess with you zen.
