I really didn't want to get involved in this conversation, i really didn't.
Zidana, your comments throughout this post have been appalling. Your closemindedness and completely un-called for comments ~"4-20 is stupid i hope you all get hurt or die in some kind of "holiday" related accidents. no love for stoners."~ Well, frankly, the world needs far less of people like you.
Not saying people 'like you' should all get hurt or die in some kind of 'holiday' related accidents, but lets be honest here....the world would be a much friendlier place if people didn't wish death upon other people for something that is ABSOLUTELY none of their business. If someone wants to smoke pot, or do whatever, if it's not directly affecting you...noone cares WHATSOEVER what you think. I frankly lost all respect I had for you Zidana, all because of that one comment.
The funny aspect of all of this, is the generalization of everyone who smokes pot to be 'hippies', losers, lowlives, etc. Zidana, do you listen to music? Well, unless all you listen to is Gospel or Christian music, I can GUARANTEE you that alot of the songs that are probably your favorites, were written and performed while the artist was under the influence of something, often Marijuana. It's a fact, jack.
I'm not condoning the use of drugs. What I am condoning is the right of every person to do what they want to do, if the only person who it's affecting is themself. It's why laws such as the ones in the U.S that used to prohibit oral sex, or sodomy are completely outdated, unconstitutional and dumb. What people do in the privacy of their own home is their own business. If you prefaced your arguement with a statement such as - 'a stoned guy drove a car and someone I know was killed because of it' then yeah, you have more basis to your arguement. No matter whether it's alcohol or drugs, people who put others at risk with their actions should be dealt with accordingly. But what you've done is thrown everyone that might smoke pot into one big group and you've wished horrible death upon them.
I'm assuming, (and this isn't just to you Zidana) that those of your with your strong opinions of others are complete angels, and have never done anything wrong in your life. You live a perfect life and you are the epitome of how everyone should live. It's hard to believe that. So, in conclusion, I'd like to end this with a line quoted from a pretty famous guy from way back:
"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone"
