Your toking is likely to be a lifetime affair, so think long term. There is something we crave in our very souls and, lucky for us, pot can satisfy that craving. People like us are going to be using "something" (drugs, religion, sex, gambling, sports, risk-taking, etc) and it may as well be an easy to grow plant that is relatively harmless. As for the world? It IS a mess, but there is still truth and beauty out there. Try to spread truth and beauty to make the world more the way it is supposed to be. The world is changed one person at a time.

I agree with you, I owe a few thousand dollars from a credit card I applied for on campus thanks to gambling. Always playing a little more just to break even. I've drank nearly everyday for a while and my personality is the reason I would never try coke or any of that. Weed I can afford, I can funtion with it, and I can easily give it up if I notice I'm falling out of touch. It is the only thing I'm able to abuse by will. Does that make sense? I agree there are many beatiful things in this world, I'm just sick of alway's hearing about a 10 year old girl getting raped or a mentally retarded kid being chased down in the streets of NOLA becase some shit head gangbangers think it is funny. Him knocking on door after door trying to get help but everyone being to goddamn afraid to open their door and than proceeding to get shot several times. I hardly ever watch the news and rarely know what is going on because I'm sick of hearing about the evil shit people are doing. Leaders of countries down to the working class and further down to those who never work and simply feed off those who do.
