Because people think that smoking pot makes them cool and respected.
It doesn't?
Whoo man, just woooh. I think you blew my mind.
Moderate pot use seems to have minimal lasting effects. Of course minimal is different for everyone and I have seen some people act permastoned and they only claimed to smoke once or twice a week.
Messing your self up in the head is not cool, and does not win your friends.
It does if you prefer openminded friends to the uppity judgmental type that look down upon people for lifestyle choices. I've met people that abused substances whom I couldn't stand but then again I've met people who never did drugs that couldn't handle their sobriety at all. It depends upon the individual and to prejudge them based upon what they like to smoke is like judging someone based upon the type of liquor they enjoy or games they play.
Some people can even handle substances ably and function quite well under their influence. Who is better at calculus, the dude who got an A while stoned or the guy that crammed to get a B- while abstaining from any substance except caffeine?
Touchy issue? Must be. Cause all that, well it had nothing to do with what I said.
Unless you are trying to say pot has not physical affects on a person. Cause then you are lying to me.
I look down on people for their lifestyle choices. Yes I am a horrible person who looks at the crack strung out whore on the street corner (literally she was there when I drove by last) and think how horrible it must be to live like that. Damn me for being evil and thinking that is a fairly despicable way to live. You however go off and frolic in the woods together and carve BBF in a tree with her. Probably would never happen as you would snub your nose at her as most people would. At least I can be honest about being a little judgmental.
The first poster mentioned idiots who think pot is going to make them look cool. It is about as effective at that as chopping your nose off is. Sure
having pot is going to make you more popular with the other people that smoke but that is about it.
I made a sarcastic comment that basically said: The above poster is correct with his frank comment, in addition I find that someone who has abused pot to the extent of basically frying their brain is an idiot.
I smoked pot all through high school and occasionally since I returned to the US (think like 5 times in the last couple of years). I never said I had a problem with people smoking, numbnuts.
Here is another bit of wisdom for your:
I am perfectly in my own rights to think of the guys drinking Goldschläger as pretentious twits and go back to my beer.
I am perfectly in my own rights to think of the idiot driving around in the little green hatchback civic with the reverberating tailpipe shoved on and the racing spoiler crammed on top is a douche.
You can say I am missing out and these could be wonderful people. All fine and good but I have no interest in adding useless modifications to my truck or drinking a liquor cause it is gimmicky, and there are a thousand people are there with the same interests as me. I can interact reasonably and peacefully with people, which is the really important part to life, not feeling a hippy love for everyone and beating yourself up if you don't.
