Try again with your bullshit. Cocaine IS harmful, cannabis isn't. Don't lump all drugs into one big bad group.
The bullshit is all yours. Taking cannabis for medicinal reasons is one thing. Toking up a joint to get stoned and "be cool" is very different. Don't lump all uses of a drug into one innocent group.
You cross one line smoking dope and it makes crossing the next line that much easier. Toward what end? How do so many decent human beings manage to live their entire lives without ONCE getting stoned, hmmmm? Drugs and alcohol are for people who can't deal with reality and what they are. I can and I will continue to do so.
It's readily apparent that you have never tried cannabis. If so, you would know that if you won't do something sober, you won't do it while stoned on marijuana either. You want to know what the real "gateway drug" is? It's alcohol (which is legal). I've seen plenty of people who have done dumb shit while drunk (dancing naked, going home with people they otherwise wouldn't, acting stupid, getting in fights, etc.). Worked in a biker bar for over 4 years here in Amarillo where they allowed smoking cannabis in the back lot. Those who only smoked cannabis? They never got stupid. Those who smoked cannabis and drank? They only got stupid when they got too drunk. Those who only drank alcohol? They were the ones I had to keep a close eye on, as they would get to the point of being idiots the quickest. Sorry, but if you smoke marijuana, your inhibitions pretty much stay the same. If you drink alcohol? The inhibitions drop the more they drink.
I can tell you of many times and about many people who got drunk and did things they wouldn't do otherwise. I can't say the same about those who smoke marijuana. If you won't do it sober, you won't do it stoned. If you won't do it sober, you very well might do it when drunk.
