Yeah. Like if you buy Marijuana, you may be funding terrorism (I think they stopped airing commercials that said that, but they were around a couple years ago). Marijuana isn't good, but anti-drug programs and commercials shouldn't sensationalize and lie like that. Marijuana is bad enough alone , without media exaggerations.

Remember the one where the girl goes all PMS with the frying pan? This is your brain on drugs!!!
I know. I certainly don't condone the use of drugs, but smoking a joint won't fry your brain (you'll laugh a lot and won't remember any recent things though). Heavier drugs though definitely will. If you need any proof of that, I have jut two words for you, Ozzie Osborne.

4/20 is also the official unofficial Senior Skip Day here....I didn't skip, didn't even think about skipping, I've missed too much already anyway..........but, a lot of people did. Only 41% of the Senior class was at school in the morning, but I would guess by midday maybe 50% were there (a lot of them just went to breakfast). Theres 440 people in our class.......thats a lot of people missing.
Oh. And, we had a drug search today. They locked us down in the rooms and brought in the dogs to sniff the lockers. Who would bring drugs to school on 4/20? Jeez...

Well we had police officers stationed around the bathrooms (no idea why considering I'm in middle school and maybe 5 people smoke marijuana). I was expecting a bomb threat today because we had one today last year and we had two other bomb scares this year. For some reason though police officers thought people would decide to bomb the bathrooms.

Weed makes you a very boring person if anything. I used to have a roommate that smoked pot...n all he'd do is sit around n get fat. It's a waste of money. Smoking pot may not kill your brain, but you can become a perma-high. We have one of those here. All he did was smoked weed. He's now a vegetable.

Another reference to psych.. (yay)...
Working in the psych ward, I was on the adult chemical dependency ward. I have seen many people have their first psychotic break after having "a few beers and some pot".
And beer does not have mild hallucinogenic affects like THC does.

I had a friend once in high school that started smoking pot. He used to have quite a bit of weight on him, and once the next year started, he was much thinner (like 100 pounds). I had asked if he had been working out, dieting, etc, and he just said "Nope, just started smoking pot...".
His fingers looked like crap though, he pretty much had a permenant brownish-yellow stain on his fingernails. I'm glad I was never close enough to smell his breath.

In moderation I have no real problem with weed. It's no more/less detrimental to your health than alcohol/tobacco/fast food/etc. is. Matt Stone and Trey Parker pretty much hit the nail on the head when they said that drugs are not a good idea because they make feeling bored ok, when what you should be doing when you're bored is pursuing interests, learning new things, developing skills, etc. Weed is also incredibly addictive, not in the chemical sense like nicotine, but just because it is effortlessly "fun."
Your best bet is to stay away from them entirely so you don't know what you're "missing out" on, because in the long run you'll be thankful you did. If you've never done it though, you should show some sympathy to those that are hooked. Their addiction to weed is no different than our addictions to videogames. If someone told you to quit playing videogames for a year you probably couldn't do it. The same goes for someone who gets high.
4/20 day is retarded though. Celebrating drug dependencies is kind of ridiculous. I have a lot of friends who look forward to this day for a long time, but I honestly find it rather sad.

I guess I take a hard line on anything that could be considered a "drug." Be it alcohol, Marijuana, cocaine, etc. My dad's side of the family is almost completely shattered due to drug and alcohol abuse. Heck, I live almost 3000 miles away from them in small part because I didn't want to go down that road.
Now, I understand that anything else can take the place of a chemical dependency. However pursuing interests, like Stealth said, is far better than sitting around all day and rotting your brain.

I agree. Glorifying pot smoking is wrong.
And going off of what Grind said, the effects differ from person to person. Some go crazy. Some chill out and become funner. It all depends on the person. Being a former smoker myself, it never really effected my productivity. In essence it took some of the stress away from my daily life. Also it helped me sleep when I couldn't. Some people can handle it and you wouldn't even know they smoked or they have their lives revolve completely around the drug. It all depends on the person.
Either way, I don't condone it and good for those of you who have stayed away from it. For some it definitely takes a lot of will power to do that.
Again I agree.
