Children using drugs, and using them irresponsibly, isn't a good example to use when arguing against pot. Especially when many teachers are for pumping their students full of pharmaceuticals, which is utter hypocrisy. I don't smoke cigarettes, don't drink, and I enjoy weed and a few psychedelics. I started as an adult at the age of 18. I don't think it makes a person more creative, but allows them to focus on being creative. Stress, pressure, lack of sex, etc... can all lead to a very unhappy camper. All it does it allow a person to forget everything else and focus on the music, or a movie, or whatever they want to do. Just because something is used as a drug for recreation doesn't mean it's dangerous, but the opposite can also be true, I will not deny that. But to call everything you don't agree with a crutch is quite absurd, especially when many people that use it can handle a family and a job. For some people, lying is a drug, for others conformity is a drug (or crutch). Feeling safe and doing what you're told doesn't mean you're a better person than someone who uses an illicit substance, and thus you're going to be more successful and find happiness easier. Everyone does not have the same set of values. Not everyone has to be a perfect student, go to college, get married, have kids, consume and die. Everyone should live their life the way they want to, unless you happen to transgress on other's rights. You seem to be high on life, you don't see me trying to make "high on life" illegal. Now I know that's kinda silly, but you do understand the point. Some stoner visiting a hash bar for fun and living at home at the age of 25 is no worse than some Trekkie visiting conventions and living at home until they are 25. Not only that, stereotypes are played out. Let folks choose for themselves. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
