Sounds like you need to either go to a closer school or move closer to your school.

Smoking pot? Bingo. Escapism. Ofcourse it makes problems """""tolerable"""". ANY fun thing makes problems tolerable. Thats the whole goddamn point of enjoying stuff. If you get drawn into escapism to the point where you cant function in reality without it anymore, then yes, its bad. HOWEVER. You're automatically assuming every person who smokes weed is addicted right? I bet you do because why else would you label them as potheads. Have you ever actually smoked any weed? Did you get so fucked up you couldnt participate in normal activities anymore or what? There's actually some people who arent a total bitch and can use weed as a creative stimulant while still functioning normally. I'm not gonna give you an entire list of artists that smoked pot because you probably already know that. But smoking weed doesnt mean you're addicted to it in the same way that drinking a beer once in a while doesnt mean you're an alcoholic. So seriously. Remove the goddamn eyepatches and stop trying to be some stoic hero that 'doesnt need anything to forget his problems'. Because if you're telling me you've never done anything to forget about them for a while, you're a liar. escapism to a certain point is ok, but pot takes it to another level. It's so easy and quick to light up a joint. I've seen so many people smoke whenever school's tough or when there's a problem. Even though it's not "addictive", people who smoke often do it consistently. people always start off by saying it's harmless, but then they end up doing it 5 times a week. a lot of addictions are bad, but some are justified by their return. If you play starcraft everyday, you'll get better. if you smoke you're still only going to get that one hour of high. Often times, addictions are also legitimized by the culture they represent. Fans/addicts of football or starcraft are admirers the beauty of the sport and its athletes, but smokers of pot are just a bunch of malcontents sitting around doing nothing but ruining their lungs. edit: xeo, why should i tell you about myself and give you fuel to make ad hominem attacks on me? if that's not your motive, there's still no incentive for me to disclose my drinking/smoking habits. anyway, nothing against you or other smokers, i just think smoking (weed and cigs) is bad to do on a regular basis | ||

but smokers of pot are just a bunch of malcontents sitting around doing nothing but ruining their lungs. Wow. Seriously. Prejudice much? What do you think of Nick Tasteless Plott? You think that smoking weed means you're excluding everything else from your life? Jesus. Grow the hell up and stop thinking about stereotypes. More people smoke weed than your little social circle might show, ever thought about that? Saying addictions are justified by their return is just a bullshit excuse to give some value to whatever addiction you might have. Any addiction is bad. I'm actually trying to say this about pot too. But you're too stubborn to realize that there are people in this world who smoke weed, are productive while doing it and actually know moderation. Besides, who the hell are you to say that smoking weed gives you no positive value in return? Its widely seen as a creative stimulant and like I have said there's countless of people and artists who used it while working on their things. I can account for this. I have the highest grade for design class in my school and I smoke weed about 5 times a week. No positive outcome? Stop thinking that. The reason I'm asking those questions is because I'm trying to understand where your opinion comes from. If you've never actually smoked weed then this conversation is pretty pointless. Its like having a conversation with a guy that has only played age of empires and tries to tell you starcraft sucks, while he never tried it. Thats why I'd like to know. | ||

For instance, instead of spending your money on marijuana you spend it on gifts for your family or give it to charity you will gain "happiness" that is fulfilling. This is opposed to the emptiness that comes from narcotics, which are just highs. By creating a better relationship with your community and working on things which constitute a better life (eg. studying for a test) then you will become much happier. Then you will find that you don't need to rely upon narcotics to become the highlight of your day. However, I'm not saying that you should abandon all forms of physical pleasure that stems from alcohol and narcotics- just use them responsibly and at parties. lmfao this is like straight out of a pamphlet with smiling kids reading with their parents on cover where did he mention that smoking was the highlight of the day? since when is weed directly responsible for leaving an 'emptiness' in your life? do you think that the materialistic alternative, buying random presents for your family, will really be more constructive? do you think everyone is pretentious and douchebaggy enough to think that simply donating to charities makes them worthwhile people? finally, why is there a stigma against doing drugs alone? why do people always assume the worst about drug users? your post is absolutely sickening and dripping with some naive and uninformed bias against drugs. please refrain from judging and assuming simply because people do not fit your ridiculous copy pasted girl scout manual ideals.

It doesn't, as far as I'm concerned - you just won't care anymore, and in my book that ain't a good thing... have you ever smoked in your life if you have and that's what happened to you, well fuck it looks like you're an irresponsible drug user. not all of us are. | ||

here are some clarifications. when you smoke, you do not simply lose hours of your life. it is very possible and normal to carry out your everyday routine high with very little noticeable deficit. of course, this doesn't apply to things like studying or homework. next, weed is not physically addictive, though there is a risk of psychological addiction. the people you see that waste away perpetually stoned are not representative of most of the weed-smoking population. it is not a consequence of the drug, rather their own inherent inability to regulate themselves. finally, most smokers do not 'look down' or scorn the straight-edge people. unfortunately the reaction to unfair persecution is to think the other party ignorant. seriously, if you have no experience with drugs, can you please stop commenting on them? do you really think you are magically more moral/lucky/intelligent to have avoided drugs? it is very tiring and offensive having to read all this nonstop drivel. | ||

I've tried several drugs ranging from, class A to class C, and i am happy i've done so. drugs have had an incredible positive impact on my life and i have no regret engaging in such behavior. obviously some people use drugs to escape their problems; but people use all sorts of stuff to escape their problems whether that be drugs, starcraft or building miniature trains in their basement. Responsibility is what should be preached, not fear mongering on a bunch of chemicals you can put in your brain. i had a semester in college where i was trying every drug imaginable and still getting a 3.4 gpa, tutoring philosophy, competed on the A team in parliamentary debate raping some ivy league schools, Working out 3 days a week, finishing with B as protoss on iccup (not my best but it was busy that semester), and had an academic journal asking for one of my papers to be published. i think i has more to do with the biology of the person and the attitude they take towards life. To an extent i sympathize with the OP. I was once a strait edge kid who didn't even drink coffee. I thought my brain was pure and nothing should taint it. Believe me when i say i was very proud of my stance against any and all forms of intoxication. But eventually i realized that many Americans and others in the world grow up with puritan values, they grow up with this general belief that excess or intoxication of any form is a bad thing, whether that be food, sex, drugs or time in front of your computer. I'm sorry but i really just don't buy this philosophy any more. I'm not going to sit around living life with a seatbelt, helmet, protective eye-wear, a life vest and water wings on. i'm a sentient being that will die in under a 100 years and i'm going to taste the fruits of life while i'm here--not hate on things i'm too scared or uncomfortable to try. there will surely be some good and some bad experiences with anything, but i guess that's what comes with the territory | ||
