I'm one of these people except I'm sure there's a huge difference between me and your friends. 1st, I don't just go off on a rant. Actually I wouldn't even call it ranting, I would call it debating. 2nd, there's only 2 drugs I will (insert here), that would be cannabis and hash. I will also shoot down the use of every other drug (except one other). Also when we use the word "drugs" let's remember that alcohol, caffeine, nicotine are also drugs. In fact caffeine is the most commonly-used drug in the United States and as far as addiction, nicotine comes in second only to heroin. 3rd, the only time I debate this issue is when someone who drinks totally demonizes cannabis or hash if they've tried the drug before or not but especially if they never have tried it. I have to laugh at someone who's at the bar three or 4 nights a week or likes to have a few drinks at home after work trying to tell me that smoking a joint is evil. If someone has tried cannabis or hash and just doesn't like it, I have no problem. I myself don't drink. Why?? Because I don't like alcohol or the effects. However I won't demonize the responsible use of alcohol by anyone. Now let's face facts, cannabis/hash and alcohol aren't the healthiest choices one can make but if you ask me, on a whole alcohol is worse than cannabis/hash. I'm not only talking one's health though. The majority of domestic violence in this country stems from the abuse of alcohol or drugs much "harder" than cannabis or hash. Most of the people I debate the cannabis/alcohol issue with have no clue what they are talking about. All they know is how they were raised and gov't reports. It's the way society goes. Alcohol is legal and cannabis is illegal so this equals alcohol - good, cannabis - evil. If we lived in a world were that was reversed, cannabis legal, alcohol illegal these same people would be smoking joints and bowls telling everyone how evil alcohol is. Worse than those who drink alcohol and demonize cannabis/hash are the health nuts who don't use alcohol or cannabis/hash and demonize both, however they have no problem with their energy drinks and pills. In fact I would say at this time it's fair to say that caffeine and nicotine are the two most abused drugs there are. These energy drinks and pills boil down to nothing but legalized speed for christ sake. Getting away from health nuts, the person who drinks tons of soda or coffee/tea and smokes a pack or better of cigarettes a day doesn't see it as drug abuse cause very rarely if ever is the word "drug" used in relation to caffeine or nicotine in popular media. With all that said I think we can agree that there is nothing wrong with the responsible use of either alcohol or cannabis/hash. The main focus of that statement being "responsible use". So sit back and fill your mug or pack your bowl, just do so in a responsible way. Edit - Those wondering the other drug I won't shoot down. It's mushrooms, if grown the natural way.
