I smoke marijuana approx. 3 times a week, drink alcohol approx once a month and never smoke tobacco, yet out of my friends who smoke about 50 fags a day and drink alcohol about 3 times a week and wont touch marijuana, they look down on me and see me as the bad one. i cant understad this, as they are taking into their body more drugs (legal) then i am weekly but because the one i choose to take is illegal im the one 'doing harm to myself'. many a time when i go out and my friends are drinking alcohol, instead i will take my pipe and smoke marijuana because alcohol usually makes me feel sick (but i usually only smoke it around about 3 or less peopel as i prefer not a lot of peopel to know), and the amount of shock in peoples faces the looks they give me is unbelievable.i dont have anything agaisnt people who intake alcohol and tobacco as they can do what they want, but i do not understand how they judge me when they them themselves are taking in harmful substances. Now i only smoke at home or with other few friends who also smoke marijuana. i know mostly it is because of what they are taught by their parents/media.government, some of my mates parents even encouarage them to binge drink but tell them that marijuana will fuck you up end of. i try telling them that just because it is illegal does not make it bad, and that with scientific evidence it is proven that marijuana is less harmful then tobacco and alcohol but they just think im a stoner and so thats why im only saying it. i do not push my friends to try marijuana only to understand it . this is to a group of 18 year olds aswell so they have the midns to think for themsleves. its sad to hear how many people will believe everything the government says.
When will you kids learn???!?!?! Marijuana is 100 times worse than crack, and your throwing your life away the second you take your first toke on that joint of death and prostitution
It's all about respect. For those who do and those who don't. If they don't understand...then they're missing out because it's simple to see the facts. Ignorance is bliss supposedly.
Maybe they fear the legal ramifications of smoking weed. If they get caught with alcohol or cigarettes, they won't get harassed (unless it's a DUI or something), but pot is risky business.
damn sucks to see your friends are so ignorant. i have similar friends but i just never mention weed around them. fuck the haters keep tokin.
A lot of people wonder why I smoke more than twice a day, yet I don't really like to drink or smoke cigarettes... they don't disrespect me for it, luckily, but I just think they don't understand. I've been around smokers all my life. My mom, my bf, etc. I've smoked cigarettes many times before, but could never get into it. The taste is disgusting and all it does is give a little bit of a calming feeling... I got bud for that. Though cigarettes do help like once a month or so for emotional times. As for alcohol, I used to be a huge alcoholic. Eventually fucked myself by getting alcohol poisoning and now I can hardly touch the stuff without puking. the thing is though, looking back, I don't really like being drunk... But bud... man, herb is a conciousness, as Bob Marley so well stated. Its a state of mind, a way of life.
Don't waste your time convincing people about what you do, if you've already convinced yourself it's something you enjoy, then keep on tokin
