A Canadian pot activist? No way!!!

I suppose that is unfair, but I can tell you I am a bit bitter at pot. I have seen so may people ruin their lives on this "non-addictive" drug that I can't stand it.

A couple puffs here and there is a slightly different, but so many times the motivation ( which sometimes is the only real motivation I ever see in these folks ) to be passionate enough to start a thread like this is the only real motivation I ever see.

IC3 - we all clearly like you here and like having you around. I think the reason that you have heard some of the responses you have is that we don't want another person we like go down the tubes and disappear. I honestly think that the folks here on the TFP care. You have seen other threads on what we think about you so I ask you to take a few silent minutes to really reflect on something. Close the door, turn off the lights if you have to and just ask a couple of silent questions.

Why do you feel so passionitly about pot? How would your life be without it? What motivation does someone like me have for asking you to think about these things?

Give it a shot. There is a reason that you feel as strongly as you do. What is behind that reason?

We don't know each other THAT well at this point, but I can tell you I am not some Religious wacko and I really don't want government making ANY decisions for us - pot included. . .
