I believe that too. Addiction or dependency upon any drug, alcohol or other central nervous system stimulant, has contributed to the demise of many relationships and this would include, workaholism.

Is it the "addiction or dependancy" you don't like or is it the usage you don't like?

You never heard of patent medicines?
Pot was not even illegal in the 50's.
Cocane made the 20's roar.

It is the change in behavior that results from the usage, which then alters the dynamics of a drug-free relationship, that I think destroys the value of a friendship or love.

You people are idiots. Much like the "it's not the gun it's the shooter" argument, it really is the imbiber rather than the substance that causes havoc.

I thought the love of money was the root of all evil.

Humans are the root of all evil.

I have never seen a pot plant jump up grab a gun and kill anyone.

I TOTALLY AGREE, because back in the 30s, 40s, and 50s everything was just soooooo perfect and peachy and everybody was super nice. =P

When i was growingup in the 50s and 60 - things were hunky-dorky -

Marijuana was on the fringe



Then in the late 60sand early 70s designer drugs came into the fore.................

It would be all perspective how can you say one way to live is better or worse than another.

1950s were a safer era.

And a better one I might add.

How? I live within my morals and values.
Any other way is just not me.

imho any lifestyle that hurts others is wrong.
