Not to mention it seems that hardly any potheads seem to vote.

That being said, don't go flaming me because you're 35 and own your own business or something. I'm not saying EVERYONE who smokes weed does these things, but ususally you can think of at least 3 people you know who meet 2 of my requirements. I don't agree my no means that this is the way people should think of us. Sometimes you have to hear the harsh truth in order to change. All I can say is that I want to prove myself wrong
Is that from smoking pot or them being un-motivated?

It's when you put pot as your main focus and put it ahead of everything in life that things fall apart and I've felt this first hand.

It happens to people who use alochol, people who have sex, people who use anti depressants, people who run, people who work, and people who smoke.

There are so many more key points not brought up..

-How much that person is smoking
-How often that person is smoking
-How high that person's tolerance is
-WHAT you decide to do while you're high, ect.

What's that? Pot makes you feel tired and unmotivated so all you do is watch TV while you smoke? You smoke all the time without restricting yourself? 2+2. Where's the big fucking suprise?

Tell me drinking alcohol all day won't make you unmotivated eventually.

Stereotypes are fucking rediculous and to me, they can't even be used in a serious context whatsoever.

It's a stereotype for a reason.
"An mistaken idea that many people have about a culture different from their own."
"Biased generalizations about a group based on hearsay, opinions, and distorted, preconceived ideas."

To say the stoner stereotype is true, is to say we all smoke, kill our friends, and then attempt to commit suicide after going on a crime spree breaking 30+ laws. All of this followed by uncontrollable laughter.

I know the people you speak of, my dealer is one of them. He hasn't had a steady job in 4 years, lives in his mom's garage, is starting to get into coke and doesn't think there's a single thing wrong with what he's doing or how he's living his life.
Obviously he has problems and needs to sort his way of thinking out and lay off of the marijuana for a few months.

Once again, it's a DRUG. It alters your perception of thinking (unless you have a high tolerance) and if it's all you look forward to everyday, you need to re-evaulate your life and lay off of the cheeba for a week or two.

Judge me by my actions, not what I put into my body.
