just another pothead. It's fine being that, in fact, I loved being a pothead, ^_^. Some things in my life are happening right now that's going to force me to quit smoking, or find some REALLY creative ways to get money/weed, and to study up on ways to pass monthly drug screens.

On the Legal forum, I have a thread explaining my situation. NowhereMan said one day I'll look back on this and laugh. Well, I'm sure one day I'll look back on this, but I won't laugh. What I will do is be thankful it happened. Since last Saturday, March 12th, I've really started to think about these things. What I want to do with the rest of my life, if I want to continue smoking, etc etc. Since my ex-mother called the cops on me, I've realized that I want to try and make a difference.

I think it's literally.fucking.ridiculous what people have to go through all because of a plant. Some people get drunk, some people get stoned (some do both, ^_^). What the HELL is the difference? You're impaired either way, but, for me, weed is much better. It takes away the pains I might have from having to work harder in Advanced PE, it lets me be much more creative when I write, it lets me enjoy my music in an entirely different way, it allows me to forget about some of the troubles life throws at me. (I know it's a runon!) Getting drunk releases the "inner me", minus the stumbling and slurring.

But, this post isn't about the differences in pot and alcohol. It's the simple fact that the United States government is a fucking hypocrite. Why is it they allow alochol to be sold, and consumed, and overdosed on, but they won't allow weed to be? With weed, I'm ALWAYS in control of who I am, if I need to be in control. I'm never so impaired I can't control myself or what I'm doing. Every person I know can drive even better when stoned because they're so paranoid over crashing, they take precautions they would NEVER take when they're sober.

Anyway, I've realized just how much I hate our government and the police through all of this. I am going to continue smoking the rest of my life, but I don't want to be just another pothead. I want the ability to do something about the general public's belief on cannabis. I want to raise hell with peaceful protests (...does that make any sense? lol).

It's all about education, as I've recently been hearing. Educate the mindless masses about your situation. I don't really think it's the public's fault that they hate cannabis and "look down" upon those who smoke it. It's because of the government. Those commercials about some kid smoking and "not giving a crap" about his little brother's birthday party, or the girl who "has no morals" and steals from her grandmas purse to get pot, and ESPECIALLY the one about the girl being stoned and killing some old guy. Its ridiculous.
First off, how many people get pissed off when they're stoned? Especially when the kid is getting pissed off at a dad who is actually just trying to have a normal chat with his son about being late. YOU DON'T!! That's the point.
The one with the girl stealing money.....shiiiiit. Kids steal regardless of whether they smoke or not. It's not saying much, but I've yet to meet a stoner that actually steals from their guardian to get pot. Some of you might do it, I'm not trying to get into that.
Lastly, the commercial with the girl hitting (or killing) the guy with her car.........ROFLMAO!!!! Watch the commercial. How does she hit the man? SHE LOOKS DOWN AT HER FRICKIN' RADIO and fiddles with something. She looks up not even a second before she hits the guy. It's not weed that's the problem, girl, IT'S NOT WATCHING THE FRICKIN' ROAD!!


I know it's all about education, so I'm thinking of starting with my school. I have this site that lists a lot of good facts about the war on drugs and pot (here) (a lot more, would make many different kinds of print outs) that I'm thinking about printing out on a piece of paper, making lots of copies from the schools Xerox machines, and putting them in places that teachers and lots of other students would find. At the bottom I was thinking of putting, "EDUCATION IS THE GREATEST WEAPON! PASS THIS ON!"
I know it would work because within a 5 minute passing period I was able to get one half of the school talking about this thing my ex-mother typed up and put on our door, and I only handed out 20 copies that time.

What do you guys think, and do you know any other ways of trying to get the REAL word out about cannabis and the war on drugs??

BTW, I would put this in the Activism forum, but not many people go there in comparison to this forum. THANKS, GUYS!!
