i just lost a HUGE post i wrote in response to filtherton's above statements, and I'm too fucking pissed off to rewrite it all.
basic gist: infanticide is not natural, it goes against the natural order of things. it does happen in nature and in human populations but it's usually because the mother is too young to handle the responsibility of having a child (or in china where couples are allowed to have one child. Girls are less valued than boys and are thrown into the river). This comparison irked me.
as for weed, it's harmless compared to other legal and illegal drugs. It does affect one's ambition, but not to the extent of other drugs like opium, heroin, or crack (or alcohol, for that matter). Taking mind altering drugs can be a sign of weakness if they're taken for those reasons (unable to handle reality), but that's not always the case.
It's a personal preference, and for the most part, it's simply a recreational activity. I don't smoke anymore, and I can handle reality just fine. For me, it really was just having a good time. There was a time where I smoked heavily and it became a viscious cycle. I'd smoke cause I was bored, and I'd find myself bored more often, and use it as an excuse to smoke more.
