So I guess when I say that weed doesn't define who I am, all I am saying is that I'm not you're typical stoner who does nothing but smoke weed. I do smoke a lot of weed, but I don't let it get in the way of what's important. Hope that answers your question.
I agree with you completely. I feel the same but I think using marijuana does at least help define who I am. What I mean is, the fact that I am open enough to rely on my own experiences to define what is true for me rather than the propoganda or status quo etc...I think that defines part of my charachter. I think this is part of the reason pot users congregate regardless of politics or religion etc.., because we all share this common trait.
I agree that the person who only thinks of getting high is acting on some unhealthy impulses but for the rest of us who use responsibly to enhance our lives I think we should be proud to say we use marijuana.

I hope this makes some sense. :jointsmile:
