Is it normal to completely despise drugs but okay with alcohol...

Smoking weed doesn't make you weak. It's just a way to relax and chill out for a bit just like alcohal is. In fact it's a much safer alternative to alcohal. No liver or kidney damage, no beer belly ad no brain cells get killed. Just because alcohal is legal and mariuana isn't doesn't make it any better for you. You're just a government drone that believes everything the gov says. You should try it and see before you judge

You're ignorant. The vast majority of deaths related to drugs (which i include alcohol in) are from ALCOHOL and PRESCRIPTION DRUGS (oxycontin, etc) I understand hating meth and heroin and stuff like that but NOBODY has ever died from weed.

You said that you hate weed with a passion? That it turns people into idiots? Well ive got news for you jackass...
1. I have been smoking weed for about 9 years now, im currently attending Duke University and i have a 3.7 gpa. You also said that you dont believe it to have any medical uses?
Well you might not know that weed helps a ton of people with various ailments including chemo patients. Have you ever witnessed the struggle that people on chemotherapy go through on a day to day basis? I bet you haven't; well i have. Personally i find it heartbreaking to watch these people suffer everyday with things like nasuea, even trying to bring themselves to eat is an immense struggle. Alchohol is directly linked to over 400,000 deaths every year. How many people die due to weed? None. Why dont you learn some facts before you bring your stupidity and ignorance to the internet. Fucking jerkoff.....

Alcohol ruined my family, as it caused dramtic mood swings in my father that drove us apart. However, my friend, who frequently smokes weed, is considered to one of the most eloquent writers in his school. Weed has not been detrimental for him. In fact the only reason its illegal is because of a propaganda campain in the late 30's by William Randolf Hearst to protect his interests in paper, and Harry J Anslinger to elevate his position in the bureau of narcotics. Look them up. Alcohol is far more deadly

I smoke weed every day and i have a 91%% average. I'm in grade 10 at the moment. I dont drink alcohol because it is more damaging than weed, and it creates more of a dependency (more of an addiction).

If your sister smoked weed and she turned "stupid", she was probably just stupid before hand. If she turned to ice and hard drugs, it wasn't because of weed, its because she is a thrill seeker, and she can't take care of herself or do things in moderation.

Smart people will be smart stoners, lazy people will be lazy stoners, stupid people will be your stereotypical druggie stoner.

w/e i'm rambling and its late. Many people would consider your stance normal, but that doesn't mean that its right.

Personal anecdotes while amusing serve no purpose in this argument. Weed does get you high and makes you less productive. It is also a major source of crime and a main contributer in the overcrowding of prisons issue. I am against smoking weed personaly, but its peoples own perogitive if they choose to or not. Its biggest danger is not the affects of the actual drug but the environment that is associated with it. Despite my personal position on weed its not all bad and if it is ever able to be taxed should be legal to keep people with promise from getting subsequently sucked into a damaging environment. Also statistically while more sociolly accepted alchohol contributed to a significantly greater amounts of recorded injuries and deaths.

i prefer alcohol. drugs mess with your head too much. i can't handle it. i want to be in control of things.

I dislike both.

Alcohol could turn you into someone abusive and violent.

Drugs could f*** you up.

And both can kill you.

Normal. But whats not normal is what an intolerant, angry and resentful person you seem to be.

Props to you. At least one person on this site is sane, and not obsessed with smoking pot 24/7.

That's too bad you went through that with your sisters.

I think you should blame their poor decisions they made in their lives instead of the drug because by blaming the drug, you are just transposing your sister's responsibility for herself onto something external. Maybe it's easier for you to love her if you can blame something else other than specifically her for an upsetting time in your life.

Just a thought to ponder.

And just because other people like marijuana doesn't mean that you have to too, but I think your source of "hate" has more to do with your experiences with your sisters than it does with weed.

I've never done drugs nor alcohol. But im the opposite, i Hate alcohol, i hate it with a passion when people are drunk, and i could never even imagine drinking and losing all self control. On the other hand, drugs im not so against

Yeah you're normal. My boyfriend is the same. He hates drugs, with a passion. He was brought up around pot smokers so that could be why. But he doesn't hate alcohol at all, though he doesn't drink much.
