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.

You not living where I live has nothing to do with you having no idea, trust me in that. But since you’re eager and I was quite lazy in my last post, let’s “break it down” further so the populace can understand exactly where you are coming from and exactly where I’m coming from.

Actually, your
extravagant exaggeration of my original sentence, “I disagree. I think most people who smoke weed on a regular basis don't know who they are” is the real
hyperbole. I stated just exactly what I thought. So, it is your insecurity that you believe people who smoke weed are dumb. Don’t put words in my mouth unjustly. I say just exactly what I want to say and I don’t need you trying to tell me what I mean. I’ve been away from mommy for quite some time now, thanks.

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.

You guessed wrong. I drink on occasion. In fact, I sit here sipping my cordial while I write this. NEED…So, to need something, it must be a physical need for it to be obtrusive to ones life? Sure it’s been proven that pot isn’t physically addictive (I’ll take your word for it) but what about the psychological effects? These are the effects I worry about most. If one can’t figure out in ones own mind what’s good or not good for their body and soul and they need to be reminded solely on the physical addiction, I feel that’s a pretty damn addictive and destructive drug. Surely you must agree to that logic? Hey you know, Ecstasy isn’t physically addictive either. Think about that for a moment. We all escape from reality; yes it’s true. My point was simply that I truly believe, from personal experience, that those who choose to hit the bong every day (or there about) are hiding from reality. No less than the person who gets drunk on a regular basis is doing the same. It’s fucking stupid to me that people are so enthralled with thinking this is perfectly okay to the point of allowing their children to just know that their parents smoke weed let alone allowing them to partake. These are the people who have nothing good to contribute to society. Ultimately, I could give a shit how good of a show you put on at work and how few traffic tickets you’ve received. It’s your kids that count. They are who represent you when you’re gone. They are what the rest of the world is left to deal with. If you can’t raise your kids properly, you’re not worth a shit.
I said: . 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...

Probably not mentally unstable in the way you think I mean it. I mean mentally unstable in that they, in my opinion, are fogged to reality. Take it for what you will.
I said: 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.

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.

That’s too funny, I was thinking the same thing…I mean you started off with “hyperbole” and are ending with "hyperbole" as well. That’s funny shit if you ask me. But then you didn't ask me so I suppose it’s not that funny. Oh well, I make myself laugh.
Okay, so you know old ones and young ones, not one of which is a slave to the drug. WAKE UP, you can find a few in that crowd. I don’t have much to say to that except the pot’s gone to your head, man. I do believe that
you (referring to your “we” comment) have things to offer to society…just look, you have Jimmy Hendrix on your side. That’s
”pritty” impressive...
All jokes aside, I’ll say it to you again. If you are a pot smoker and you think it’s perfectly fine to raise your children in a pot-smoking environment, you have absolutely nothing to contribute to society. This last paragraph pretty much sums up what I was trying to convey previously...nothing more, nothing less.
