yeah, but so can speeding. you could lose control of your car, crash, and become paralyzed... oh, but i bet it's different, isn't it? these are DRUGS and DRUGS ARE EVVVVVVIL!!! man, there are so many other things that could fuck your life over so much worse than fuckin pot. it's all about how it's used- weed can be the responsible man's way to relax or the irresponsible man's way to escape. there's a huge difference. people like you need to stop buying everything your parents shove down your throat and start thinking for yourself. sure, drugs CAN fuck you over, but they can also have zero effect on your life, it all depends on how you use them.
i smoke treez because i like sitting back with a couple buddies at the end of the day, relaxing with a joint, bowl, bong, whatever, and just easing my mind for a bit. i don't smoke because i'm overwhelmed with some life problem and i'm trying to get away from it, i don't smoke because i have this urge at all times to get high, i smoke because i enjoy the high, like the company, and feel it helps me relax a bit.
if you want to bitch about something worthwhile, complain about how terrible alcohol is for you. there are studies that suggest the weed is GOOD for you in certain circumstances (pain relief, nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders, to name a few... studies also suggest it prevents forms of cancer). the only time alcohol is "good" for you is when you have a fifth of whiskey, a bone saw, and need to do a field amputation- slam that fifth, bite a wooden spoon, and saw away!
