Infanticide is natural too.
Just because something is natural, doesn't justify it. Nightshade is natural, try eating a handfull and see how you feel about natural.
I definitely think sobriety is always more respectable and commendable than getting fuckered-up I don't smoke anymore. I'm not inclined because i'm absent minded enough already, something i attribute to smoking a lot of weed when i was way too fucking young. I'm also poor, too poor to make space in my budget for what amounts to a condiment on the sandwich of reality.
I think using mind altering drugs of any kind is a symptom of weakness(OMG i agree with sixate!!), of an inability to cope with reality. Medicinal use is an exception(stress reduction is NOT medicinal). I don't care if you're "just having a good time". You can have a good time sober, if you're not lazy.
As far as "expanding my perceptions", or whatever new-agey justification you have goes, anything you do every day for years is no longer opening any more doors of perception in your head. Anything you fiend for, anything you need to do to feel normal is no longer broadening your horizons in any positive way.
I know plenty of stoners who just plain can't handle life very well if they lose access to their drug of choice. Tell me how that is good.
I don't think it should be illegal, because it is really none of my business if you want to smoke a plant. More power to you, just don't come at me with some self righteous attitude about oooooh natural this, or ladeedah just having a good time that.
The only reason this thread exists is for potheads to try to justify their behavior to the naysayers. If you were really secure in your actions you wouldn't feel the need to justify them to some stranger on the internet.
