I'm not limiting what's going on today to pot use although I'm fairly certain that is the most predominant drug in play. If you've been clean for 30 years then I'm guessing you and I are close to the same age. I'll be 59 in a couple of months. The stuff you and I smoked is nowhere near to what what's available today. We called it grass because it basically was.
I'm not saying potheads and other drug users should spend their lives in jail but outright legalization is not good for society either. There HAS to be a middle ground.
Clearly, what's going on today is not what people in their right minds do. These kids are out of their minds and much of it has to be drug induced.
Well, then we understand each other. If you found sobriety then I’m happy for you. My apologies for being... terse. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy marijuana’s effects.
But the obsession with it, like alcohol damn near killed me
and others. I just get annoyed with the perception or more over the hypocritical argument that marijuana is considered something beyond the pale and alcohol gets a free pass.
That’s not to say marijuana isn’t harmful in a number of way’s, it is. It’s just not harmful to the mind and body and society in the way alcohol is.
I’m 64.
“Clearly, what’s going on today is not what people in their right minds do. These kids are out of their minds and much of it has to be drug induced.”
Of course. All dopers in a drug stupor, sir.
It has nothing to do with the suited people in their “right minds” sitting in board rooms who outsourced American jobs to slaves while keeping wages stagnant for twice as long as these kids have been alive.
No sir. These kids should just suck it up and pull those bootstraps harder
