Ruprex, This whole debate and every single nearly identical debate that goes on here comes down to the fact that you, or sixate, or whoever, don't like drugs, and other people do. Sixate has been clear and articulate about why he doesn't many many times and I can respect that. Granted, I don't live where you live, so I have no idea, but really, lets break it down.

I guess that was hyberbole, trying to overstate for emphasis, you think people who smoke drugs are dumb...

For sure for some people it is an escape, it's been proven, as far as anything concerning pot as been proven, that it's not physically addictive. So, it's not that they NEED to smoke it, not physically anyway. So I guess you don't drink, or really do anything distracting at all, because escaping reality is something that we all do.

I do agree that there are a lot of financially successful pot smokers in this world. I do not believe that they are mentally stable.

Ya there are tons of financially successful potheads, but mentally unstable? really? because they get high? You think that becuase they get stoned, they are mentally unstable...

I think they are slaves to the drug and only interested in creating a flase sence of reality of the world once they get home from work. I do believe most pot smoking lifers don't have much to contribute to society. [/B]

Man, you start off with some hyperbole, and I can only wish that this part was too, I mean, 'Slaves to the drug'? I've smoked pot for a long time, many of the people I know older and younger do, and I've never once met a 'slave' to it, ever. And you don't believe that we have anything to contribute to the society? do you like Jimmy Hendricks? Many many writters, now and in history, there are pot smokers in almost every niche that this world has to offer, I'm pritty sure they have lots to offer.
