Hello and thanks for the time and patience need to read and reply.


In my, and your efforts as well, to try and persuade or help people see the light that marijuana is not the devil has only left me frustrated and relenting. I feel that its pointless trying to inform and educate people who have never smoked pot or those with alternative legal medications. You all know this, but their pre-conceived ideas from the government, literatures supporting anti-drug, and commercial ads on addiction only add to their false factual basis, concerning any debate on the controversial topic.
Im sure many of you have this same problem, but to be more specific I am talking of my family. Most of which have never toked up and their only means of evidence is the media. I'm an adult now, so I will live my life the way I want to and that means smoking marijuana, medically. I feel it improves my quality of life and gets me through the day,week, etc. Simply, I will be who I am regardless of what they say against my lifestyle (to the point of addict, and dopey dopehead).

What bothers me is that when I try and shed light on the other end of the spectrum, Im only wasting my breathe. I am constantly combated with false facts and told MARIJUANA WILL DESTROY YOU!! I think when I present factual basis and its refuted, how will millions of others change their brainwashed mind? I cant see it happening unless all the southern baptist and people over 30 catch the plague. Im only kidding and to not acknowledge, so would defeat the entire purpose of this post and my struggle. Many of this board and our efforts to change laws are over 30 with much wisdom, but to deny the fact the opposition is composed of mid to late aged adults would be well, dumb. Any thoughts/suggestions?

For now I have decided to stay out of politics and just let them win the argument. Ill consider it a victory in my books, keeping my mouth shut, and not stooping to their level. Even though my argument is educated and factual
