Is it just a "hip" or "cool" thing? first time wont be as good. gotta get comfy with it. the reason i do it is because it feels good (mostly this) and it allows me to kill time the same way as normal but without feeling bored. additionally i use it to get further intoxicated after a night of drinking, lubricate emotions before a particularly groovy movie, disrupt my conventional thinking patterns to approach a problem with creative solutions, remove inhibitions when chating about life problems with friends etc. I wouldn't call myself obsessed with it tho. I mean sure im addicted and smoke it everyday and am high right now but im not obsessed. I know its not for everyone and thats fine I dont think its a magic herb i think of it like caffein or alcohol or aderall etc etc. | ||

A big part of the popularity around the issue in America is the absurd prohibition and "War on Drugs" in general. In the face of scientific and medical evidence suggesting its benefits and limited downsides (there are downsides and some negative side effects, of course), it is classified as a Schedule 1 drug - which means it is considered to have no medical use at all, and is regarded as "more dangerous" than the many prescription drugs that are frequently handed out very liberally. It is also one of the most heavily used reasons to incarcerate people, resulting in the highest prison population in the world by far. As more information has come available over the last several years, the absurdity of it just becomes more apparent. And the amount of uproar around it has certainly caused progress as evident from Colorado, Washington, and DC (along with a couple others). I don't really care if people care for it or not, but keeping it illegal is incredibly ridiculous, and I don't anticipate it being so for that much longer. | ||

Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.” “…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.” “Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.” “Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.” “Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing” “You smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother.” “Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.” | ||

Also, I wouldn't call Psyren shounen, that's more seinen, bit more mature, I'd call it closer to Darker than Black. Oh, and Ghost in the Shell Arise is actually pretty good as well. Bleach needs to end, it's ass now, especially in what should, hopefully, be the last arc. Naruto's only redeeming feature was that it ended with him getting with the best girl, nothing else. One Piece is the only one of the Former Big Three that isn't complete ass, but the current arc is blehhhhhhhh, taking way too long to end. | ||

War on Drugs might as well be rebranded as War on Poor as far as I'm concerned. I don't understand why the federal government has just legalized it, created standards to get all the bad weed off the streets, and cash in on taxing it like they do with cigarettes. | ||

Other good shounens are Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, Seven Deadly Sins/Nanatsu no Taizai, Saki is a pretty cute manga about a mahjong club, kinda similar to Hikaro no Go, but not professional-level.

I never said it was the best, just that it was good. Nothing stands up to SAC, so we can't really hold it to too high a standard lol. | ||

I mean, yes, that's what it's basically boiled down to. Why haven't they yet? Because the private prison industry loves having all these inmates! Money speaks louder than logic or evidence. Significant progress has been made in recent years. Colorado in particular has proven how effective the taxing/regulation can be. I expect several more states to legalize in the next couple years (northeast and west coast especially). | ||
