Yeah. I get your whole point on how is weed frowned upon but not alcohol and cigarettes? Good point too, let me add.
The people who use these drugs heavily are dumbasses that have let society make a profit off them.

Sorry Oldtimer, I respect your opinion but I do have to disagree with you. I am one of the responsible ones. I don't drink very much because I choose to smoke pot. That is my vice of choice. I also have a great job, a fun and exciting life, don't lie, cheat or steal, and smoke in the privacy of my own environment. But generalizations like yours shows a lack of understanding of marijuana and it's usage.
Why are people so opposed to it? People are afraid of things they don't understand. People make assumptions about marijuana and follow the collective opinions about it because they can't formulate opinions of their own. Yes, there are people out there that sit on a couch all day, smoke pot, play video games, and eat everything out of the refridgerator. However, this is a stereotype. Are all Chinese people poor drivers? Are all Jewish people stingy with their money? No. These stereotypes are in place because people don't choose to formulate their own opinions about things they don't quite understand. This is not the only reason that people think negatively about it, but I believe it is a good starting point.
