It seems like alot of people on this board jump on the 'because pot should be legal, it is harmless' bandwagon.

Who here actually acknowledges and accepts the pitfalls of MJ?
I smoked a little bit in high school, never bought. If someone offered me a puff on a joint, i would not turn it down. Never really was impressed with MJ, I am more of a drinker. Much alcohol has passed through this body. I don't get into trouble much. I haven't been arrested or anything like that, but I have had alot of run ins with law enforcement where i really could have been in a bad position but I always seemed to get out of it unscathed whether it is speeding or DUI/DWI or illegal immigrant smuggling. (fun stories)

Two years ago i started smoking regularly, everyday. Though I am not a loooong time smoker, I do consider myself a hardcore smoker. As long as my eyes are open, i will never turn it down. Before I started smoking, I did alot of public speaking. I have spoken in front of 3k people before and done very well, enough for numerous compliments. The summer before I started smoking, I got a great job where i sold 60k dollars worth of books for a publishing company. Awesome for a 20 year old college student. I bought a new car and paid for 2 full load semesters of college for 15 weeks of work. Now that I smoke, I get into much less trouble. I haven't had to talk to a single police officer in two years now. My affairs are in order, I get up on time without a hangover. I am in my 3rd year of college and plan on graduating in the next 2 years from one of the best business schools in the country.

Smoking is now a part of my personality. It fits me well and it lets me enjoy life a little bit more. However, I cannot speak like I used to. I cannot write like I used to. Now that I think back, I realize how sharp i was mentally and how dull I am now. I don't need to speak anywhere or sell anything, so it doesn't really matter. I have met enough stoners to be able to tell that MJ screws with the brain a good bit.

In my defense, at least I waited until I got into college to smoke pot. Lots of kids start smoking at 15....and end up nowhere. I am an optimist and a realist. If i would have smoked like i do now back when i was 15, i can almost guarantee that I wouldn't be where I am today.

Do any of yall feel any negative effects of MJ? I do acknowledge the negative affects of marijuana, and I choose to live with them. I do not see myself stopping anytime soon.

Discuss.
