Smoke pot? Does this remind you of you or anyone you know?

I recently "ran into" some random on the Net who turned out to be a 20-year-old girl who lives with a few friends (I didn't ask her; she must've felt compelled to tell me, to make herself feel "cool" or "tough" or "special"). For whatever retarded reason she brought up marijuana (perhaps because she, like so many others, worships it and bases much of her life around it), and well, I had some things to say to her about it.

First off, understand this: I'm neither for nor against the legalization of marijuana; I just don't give a shit. Read that a few times before you freak out like a stoned retard... or just sit there, stoned.

I know or know of an endless number of people who smoke pot practically every day of their lives; it is their lifestyle, their life. I've grown up around pot smokers, seen it all; so understand that what I have to say here is based on actually observation, actual interaction with such people, throughout my life and on a regular basis.

- "Career pot smokers" have kids that they don't want
- They have boyfriends and girlfriends for petty reasons (sex and smoking pot - The End), and they end up not wanting them, either
- They wake up one day and realize how unhealthy and careless they've become; this occurs over and over and over again, but not until they've reached 30 or so - you know, when it starts to get a lot harder to lie to yourself and pretend that you're still 18 years old
- Socially, they're nigh worthless, except when they have a pipe in their hand - that's when they're happy and want to talk to you; no quality socializing, just getting stoned and being typical retards
- They're financially fucked for as long as they choose to do this, or "pinned down", barring help from wealthy Daddy, or their Sugar Daddy
- Happiness revolves around getting stoned: When will my next "high" be? Gotta find my dealer, gotta waste this money.
- Break up / get divorced; woman gets the kids, you pay her child support, she spends all of it on pot, because unlike you, she REALLY doesn't give a fuck, is REALLY addicted, and has never had to manage money or pay for shit
- They drop quality relationships for relationships with shady people. Dealers for one. All of their friends have to smoke, if they don't, sure, they're still their friends, but you and I know that it's just not the same.
- They're shady and extremely unreliable and/or dishonest about even the most harmless things. This is the result of dealing with shady people in order to be around pot, to get pot, to live your life around pot. Money becomes a "thing": Hey hun, how much we got for pot? Instead of keeping track of money for food and other things that actually matter, finances are worked around pot, even when kids are part of the picture. Fail.

Smoking pot
- Does not make you "cool"
- Does not make you a rebel
- Does not make you tough
- Rapes your attention span to the point that you're completely unable to maintain even the simplest conversation with the most important person in your life
- Your circle of pot smoking friends are weaklings, skanks and generally undesirable to anyone who takes care of their health, and doesn't take their lives and their friends lives for granted
----------------------------------------------------------------
One day you will
- Regret having wasted so much money on pot
- Realize that the music you thought was so great is indeed shit
- Be able to see how unhealthy you've really become, how much pot has degraded your health and your quality of life
- Come to understand that your friends are just your pot smoking pals and nothing more, that most or all of your relationships are nigh worthless and based on the most petty shit in the universe
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As a child who smokes pot, or young adult, you
- Don't know shit about what it is that you're doing to yourself
- Feel compelled to defend such idiotic behavior, even though deep down you know that it's bad for you and those around you
- know that it's a massive waste of money, and that you're just using people to get pot, or they are using you
------------------------------------------------------------------
You probably feel like you've got it all figured but
- You don't
- You won't until you're older
- So just stop acting tough, you know zero
- You are going to find out the hard way, like so many others
------------------------------------------------------------------
There are far superior sensations to experience than being high
Smoking pot, like drinking, like putting stupid shit on your car, like defending pot when you know you shouldn't, like being in denial and getting defensive when you know you're just wrong, is all a fad... it's just a fad - that's it. Try using a bit of logic, some self-reflection; think a little about the long-term, how long this can really go on, and if it's really worth it. Do you want to end up burnt out by your early 30's, in debt, paying child support and wanting to die and/or murder people, because you're so backed into a corner? Or how about without a quality relationship, with that biological clock winding down, depressed, unhealthy (on the inside, where it really matters) and undesirable to everyone who doesn't smoke pot?

Have a nice day.

 

I smoke pot all the time and plan to continue, but I think it's a bit overrated.

 

You seem to be rather bitter, and sound like a broken commercial.

Have you ever considered smoking pot? It might make you a happier person.

 

I smoked heavily for ten years. Haven't smoked it in about two years.

It really depends on the person, but I have known many potheads whose only concern in life is to get high. Frankly, I don't like how it makes people apathetic. I also don't like having to deal with the losers that sell it.

 

some people shouldn't smoke pot. and by some people I mean the ones you described. not everyone fucks up their lives when they smoke pot.

 

imagine how uppity this would make the stoners lounge kids.

 

Good for you, I mean that in all seriousness. You know the deal, I can tell by the things you said here.

Try making sense.

NO U! 1!1 1

 

Wait.... so you DON'T think that smoking pot makes me tough and a rebel?

You bettah learn to respect. I'm like the Method Man, I just tell you to roll and smoke that shit son.

 

I kind of like Bukowski's take on pot.

 

Stop making sense.

 

Why?

 

You totally missed my awesome pop culture reference.

Which means that you're not cultured enough to be talking to me.

I throw my ego at you!

Begone, adversary, for thou art not worthy of my Godly attention.

All will worship me, yet you will not feel the same joy as others will, knowing that you have lacked to provide me with tribute.

Go back to the common people, preacher! Add more shackles to their ever-growing chains of self doubt.

I shall not waste my patience on you, I have the world to conquer and dreams to dream!

 

Yeeaaaah...

STOP MAKING SENSE:

that must have took a long time to write up, and all for nothing because you should have posted this in another forum

It ain't that hard to copy/paste off the DARE website.

 

And now for something completely different:

I just had a huge ass spider fall from the ceiling right on my head.

Freaky shit.

Not as dangerous as the evil reefer though.

 

when brain functions are severely impaired, as is the case for this OP, it is pretty hard to copy/paste

 

That is the funniest bunch of BS I have heard tonight.

You are an idiot.

Have a nice day yourself.

 

man, I'd forgotten all about Talking Heads.
maybe I'll get high and listen to Fear Of Music.

 

Who knows... we have to be sensitive here, after all.

For all we know his father could have died from a marijuana overdose...
