It’s not social stigma that stops me from smoking dope, it’s having at least half a brain.

And, your feeble attempt to insult the military aside, half the military aren’t stoned, it’s more like four percent who come up hot. If it’s someone’s first time, he or she usually gets a reprieve when boarded.

I don’t like urinalysis and I don’t like getting deployed, but I have done both more than once, so don’t go “why don’t you just get out?” Those who serve do so in spite of lots of inconveniences and privations (and you’ll probably reply that’s because they couldn’t get a real job).

Sorry to reply to several FReepers in one post, but if the shoe fits....

If your father is a Vietnam veteran, thank him for his service and then ask him what drugs from the Golden Triangle did to our people over there. Example: those living skeletons on crystal meth you see on TV? That’s what 98% pure heroin did in Vietnam. So I guess I have an opinion about what illegal drugs do, including “harmless” marijuana.

And for all of you who demand respect for others’ right to use illegal drugs (even if you personally don’t, that caveat always gets thrown in) , pardon me if I disagree.

I'm not sure who else you were replying to, but you only have me in the "To" line, so I just want to be sure you aren't accusing me of insulting the military, because that would be silly.

As far as your statement "It’s not social stigma that stops me from smoking dope, it’s having at least half a brain.", my question to you is, do you drink? Because if you do, you are a severe hypocrite. Alcohol is at least as bad a drug as marijuana, not just in the short term effects (i.e. fighting, crashing cars, puking, passing out, etc.) but in the long-term effects (i.e. liver disease, brain shrinkage, etc.). Condemning one drug but not the other and feeling self-righteous about it is just ridiculous. And let's not even get started on cigarettes and chew.

Also, since you are Reserve and not Active, that means that most of the time you are living as a civilian and hanging out with civilians. When I said that the Army would expect that half your friends were getting stoned, I meant the civilian friends. That is why they are pissing you monthly now.
