It's funny to me how people are always trying to convince other people that, the path they are on will lead them to ruin. "Smoke weed you'll end up living in a cardboard box son." You said something before about people "preaching the gospel of pot" or something.... but I find it is usually the other way around. Zealots trying to save the world from themselves. Even with this short one-line post you have here. You're inferring that the pot smokers will have a damaged life, or less-than-as-good-a-life-as-your-own if they continue. It's subtle, but it's there. People will say they don't care if other people smoke weed or not, but then continue with the patronizing you're-less-of-a-human-than-I talk.
If no one cares if others smoke or not, why is it still illegal? And why hasn't the crusade switched to something else people are doing daily that's "bad" for them? It's because it has nothing to do with ganja being "bad" for someone or not. If that were the case, you'd be harping on people for fast food and soft drinks and cigarette smoking and driving unsafe and drinking too much and everything else under the sun. So it's not "caring" about the well-being of another that drives these attitudes, as it is
brow-beaten propaganda you've been fed and taught to hate this specific plant no matter what.
Seriously... do you honestly care what some person on the other side of the country might be smoking right at this minute? Of course not. But you still hate and fear that plant, don't you? The training is complete in some people.
