then i ask "do you see me getting drunk and crashing my car, getting into fights, or breaking the law when drunk?" their answer is no

then i ask "how many times have you seen or heard of people dying from alcohol poisoning or dying while drink driving etc?" obviously theyve seen or heard of that happening

then i ask "have you ever heard of anybody dying from smoking weed?" their answer is no

then, i show them sites like cannabis.com, erowid, etc and show them the REAL truth about weed

thats what we should all be doing.. not hiding the fact that we smoke weed because people think its wrong, but being proud that we smoke weed and teaching people the real truth

but hey, each to his own

i totally agree. my mom found out and told me i "need to stop doing that" and tried to argue with me. her only argument was basically that it's illegal and a drug and i said "yes i know its illegal, but it shouldn't be, and alcohol is a drug too and is way worse for you than smoking weed." then she says "you're going to become a burn out" and i say "are you serious?" and then invite her to check out erowid.org and read something about it. that's usually where she says "you better not get arrested" and i tell her i'm not an idiot about it and the conversation ends.
