Stickman, you know I am anti-drugs, and you are one of my favorite FReepers AND pro-pot people. You argue well with very little ad-hominem. But don’t feel sorry for us on the other side of the aisle. We feel sorry for most of those on your side because they are all about weakening the self and the spirit.
One of the truisms I live by is “the greater the need, the weaker the man.” So people who willingly subsume their life and liberty to a fleeting feeling are the epitome of weak slaves.
I wholeheartedly agree.
“We feel sorry for most of those on your side because they are all about weakening the self and the spirit.”
Interesting fallacy to presume that anyone using cannabis medicinally is “weakening self & spirit”.
Myself, I suffered from crushing depression & anxiety for 20+ years before I began using cannabis. I began using cannabis in 2015 & my spirit is no longer chained to the darkness of depression nor am I imprisoned spiritually & emotionally by anxiety. I’m 75 lbs lighter since I began using cannabis. I’m healthier & happier than I’ve ever been in my adult life. I’m active in my parish, playing bass for the 10am Mass group.
Taking any medicine is not a sign of weakness when there is a real reason to take it. Following the steps necessary to legally purchase medicine is not evidence of weakness but requires fortitude of thought & a need for wellness to have to relate to a different doctor for the 27th time how depression & anxiety have impacted your life in hopes of getting relief for the awful symptoms.
You can feel sorry for me till the sky falls, I’ll just remain happy & thankful. Peace :)
