Re: Marijuana's Effects On Consciousness

You carry on taking your drugs for your medicinal purposes if you believe that is the only way you can relieve yourself of what ever ails you.

I dont take the drugs any more.There is nothing about them that attracts me to them and I have no reason at all to consume them anymore. From the time I was 16 to around 26 I consumed marijuana and I now know plenty enough about the drug and or the many nefarious types of people who consume them and I know well enough it is a drug that is not at all worthy of my attention for recreational consumption.
After 11 years of consumption I woke up to the fact that it IS a drug and will always be a drug and it is just more drug crap amongst all the other non essential drug crap, in my personal opinion.
I am not alone in that opinion and furthermore I know that many people try it and many people consume it for years and then finally stop consuming the drug , for many personal reasons.
Often enough it is because they see others who fall foul of the law and they realise they can not fight the system and they do not want to fight the system and be a crusader and or a prison inmate martyr.
They choose to leave that up to the others.
Defending the drug and its consumption is hardly a worthy cause....but you go ahead and you can also carry on defending it from inside a prison if you want.


I will always be critical of drug consumers who argue the same self serving argumets for their personal consumption of non essential recreational drugs and always have their own personal reasons for taking the drug.

Go ahead..take the drug take all you want and keep on arguing the drug can do no harm and it is good stuff and society should except the drug with open arms.

If and when it does cause you some harm in any way then that is something that you have to live with while the rest of society also has to live it and any problems it causes.It could have been avoided by not taking the drug.

The drug consumers, over all, talk the same way that cigarette consumers talked 50 years ago while ignoring the health related problems and any other problems associated with its consumption, as small as they may be in some aspects.

Health related problems that evolve could be avoided if you did not take the drug for recreational purposes.

If you want to take the drug for recreationa puposes the rest of the citizens are not going to simply accept it and you are going to have to accept that fact.
You can go on and on about the positive aspects of the drug until you are blue in the face and educate people until they all become experts on "all the facts" but most people will still choose to oppose the use of the drug for recreational purposes.

No matter what you say most of the people do not want it around them and the associated problems that have evloved and will continue to evolve. They dont want alcohol around them and the associated problems and or tobacco and the associated problems. You and the drug consumers will have to live with other peoples criticisms and rejection of the drug(s)including rejection of the people who are stoned on the drugs.

No amount of reasoning and arguing will change the fact that most people want less of the non essential drugs around them and they want to see less consumption ..not more.

The fact that people want it legalised is not about accepting the drug into their other wise drug free lives and or society.It is about accepting the fact that the laws are causing several major problems relative to a stubborn percent of the people who insist on doing the drug and they are willing to break the laws and ignore the criticisms and ignore any of the negatives.
Your statistics are in favour of legalisation because people agree that other people should not be going to jail because of marijuana consumption.It does not mean that most people WANT more non essential, recreational drugs in their lives or to be around the consumption and or have the drug easily available for all the more people to consume.

It is their choice to oppose it and they have just as many valid reasons to oppose it as you do reasons for consuming it and or defending it.

You have your criticisms about a lot of other issues as do many others so you can expect critizism and opposition to your beliefs also.

If you are a user of non essential drugs, for recreational puposes you are going to hear critizisms and feel the opposition to the drug consumption...for ever.

If you think people are just going to listen to the complaints and arguments coming from the drug users and accept the drug induced logic about "every aspect" of their personal drug consumption issues then you are wrong.
The majority of people still do not want the drug to be liberally consumed or easily available in the market.
The majority of people want LESS drugs to be avialable, including the medicinal,pharmacuetical drugs that society is becoming more and more dependant upon.
Even the existing pharmacuetical drugs have a whole lot of negatives that come with their consumption and society is already feeling the negatives that comes with their wide spread consumption
This is not my opinion.
You can use the internet to find hundreds of articles and data based information about the problems associated with the legal drugs.
Marijuana consumption does not help the existing drug related problems ..it increases the problems.
But you may not see it that way...but many do and it is not based on ignorance of the drug and its history.It is based on what they observe and or the knowledge that the drug consumption comes with its negatives and they dont want any further problems in their lives.
Apparantly you and most other drug consumers argue there are no problems. Other people that oppose "Increased" drug consumption and or adding more drugs to the list of drugs avaialable for liberal consumption are being told they are wrong and vilified for their opposition to recreational drug consumption and or wrong for trying to curb the consumption of non essential drugs used for recreational purposes.

Go ahead and consume all you want and I will carry on critizing the drug consumer and their conduct and their mentality and their attitude about the drug and their beliefs that the drug can be consumed without any problems and there is nothing wrong with consuming it to get stoned on and often enough as stoned as stoned can be.

I will fire you if you bring it on the construction jobsite or consume it on the construction jobsite and endanger the lives of the other workers. I will have you drug tested before I hire you and if you prove positive for the drug I will not be hiring you.
While it is still illegal, if you get caught by law enforcement then I will not be feeling sorry for you. I would rather you be financially penalised rather than go to prison but I will not be feeling sorry for you...and neither will most others...the same way you do not pay attention to people who pay penalties or go to prison for breaking any of the many other laws that you personally agree with and want enforced.


After it is legalised and you are allowed to consume it legally I will still oppose its consumption same as there is wide spread critizism and opposition to alcohol consumption and tobacco consumption.
I will be happy that people are not going to prison for its consumption...but I will still oppose its consumption.
If you break the new existing laws related to marijuana supply or marijuana consumption I will still not be feeling sorry for you and I will still be telling you do not consume the drugs for recreational uses.

The major difference between you and me and the drug consumers is simply this:

As long as there is consumption there will always be laws and or rules and regulations and or rules of drug consumption decorum attached to the consumption of the NON ESSENTIAL drugs consumed for recreational puposes.

For the drug consumers, If and when they bend those rules or break those laws and the laws are enforced in any way, whether it be penalites of some sort or prison time, if that is the case, then it will be you and or the other drug consumers who will be suffering the law enforced penalties from your consumption.

It will not be me who pays any penalties and or goes to prison because, as you already know, I do not consume the drugs and or have anything to with their consumption.
I used to and I feel somewhat lucky that I did not get caught breaking the drug related laws and have to pay any penalties and or go to prison...but I could have if I had been caught somehow, someway. Many peope do get caught and it is a major wake up call to the realities of law and order...even if you adamantly oppose them and it angers you to no end and you want the laws to be changed.
Until they are changed in favour of legal drug consumption you are more than free to challenge the laws and take the chance that you will feel the discomfort of the laws if and when you do get caught breaking them.
If that is the case it will be you that suffers the penalties...not me.

You can cry all you want about the injustices of drug related law enforcement as it stands now and many will continue to cry about the injustices of the future laws attached to the non essential consumption of mariajana for recreational puposes.
That is for certain....people will never be happy about law enforcement when it is applied to them.

Meantime if you are a illegal drug consumer and you get caught you will suffer some sort of negative ramifications and you will not be happy at all about those negative ramifications.

It will be you, Not me and that is what seperates us.

If you want to chance being penalised and or serving prison time then go right ahead and confront the existing laws and or the future laws.
Either way it will be you that suffers the penalties...not me.

I will be on the outside while you could very well be on the inside of a jail cell or prison.

If you are a legitimate medicinal users then I hope it helps you ...as long as you abide by the rules and regulations and decorum of medical marjuana consumption then it is OK by me.
