Todd... same crap different year huh? give it a rest, you don't know what you're talking about... you admit that you have absolutly NO first hand knowledge... so why do you need to BS year after year from a place of ignorance on a topic?
I was too busy to read all of what I was pasting, so after seeing Todd's reply... I'll settle for just saying... I too, respectfully disagree (even if I did disagree disrespectfully.. I'll take it down in the interest of civillty)
ok, back to the meet

I must say, that it seems a bit unfair to pick out a single sentance quote from that previous discussion and follow it up with a multiple paragraph essay from your point of view.
I know you're busy...but I'd have preferred you edited out the profanity and personal insults before you re-posted your reply.
I think when I use the word "you're" in your quotes I was referring to dope users in general as a group.
I also believe, that in that original debate I replied to your comments about being a daily dope user yet maintaining a 4.0 gpa as an abberation to the norm.
My son goes to a small rural high school with about 80 kids in his graduating class.
One night, I asked him how widespread drug abuse was in his school....to which he replied, "I bet over half the kids in my class alone use dope and or drink alcohol....let me get my yearbook out from last year and I'll point out the kids I know use it."
He went and got his book, and pointed to the kids that he knew were into mind altering drugs/alcohol...and it literally was over half his graduating class.
Without exception...all of the kids he knew did dope were kids that were also poor students, kids that did it at lunch, skipped classes, and generally had little personal motivation.
I do believe there are exceptions to that....as you point out in your case. In fact, my best friend in high school got into dope as he entered college...and he was naturally bright too....and was able to maintain a high gpa all through college and is now an unclassified executive in a huge un-named corporation - - living out-of-country and pulling in a very large income.
I view him as the exception...as most people I've seen that delved deeply into the abuse of dope, have struggled to reach their goals.
So yes, I do agree that not everyone exhibits the same misfortune...but I would still maintain that it is a detrimental distraction in most cases in attaining the goals most people dream of - while the [ab]use is going on.
I have to believe that you cannot be totally convinced that dope use is without it's negative consequences...because from prior conversations I get the impression that you have mostly given it up.
And I would ask, that if that's the case....and if dope is without any ill effect on a persons life, why?
I'd ask:
When did you decide to curtail your use of marijuana?
Why did you stop?
If it has not effect on mental capabillities, academic performance or motivation, would you go along with offering it for sale in the school lunch-line?
Would you feel comfortable working in a machine shop next to a guy that was a heavy dope user? Would you feel that your safety around dangerous machinery might be compromised?
I would certainly agree (as I believe we discussed before) that alcohol is a dangerous legal drug...and perhaps more devastating to lives than dope - although I don't believe that elevates dope to a benign, preferred status.
If your response/repost was fair...you'll remember that I also agreed with you and stated that I had NO problem with the prescription use of this drug should it be found that it was beneficial in pain management or had positive medicinal properties in the medical field.
I'd also note it is interesting my impression is ... is that it appears that most of the people here lauding the positives of dope use, appear to be mostly former users. That is, the impression I get is that they used to be frequent users but have now largely given it up....other than to exhibit a bravado about their past heavy use and brag about a very occassional present use.
Why is that? Why has it been largely abandoned?
I certainly agree that I don't think dope is by far the worst thing a person might stoop to doing, nor do I think that it has the societal effects as other drugs such as meth.
But I still do believe that it is not a positive, inspiring thing to do. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I am not in the many other circles of people.
If someone is going to start a post on promoting/supporting the use of illegal drugs on a public sign site, you can hardly not expect, or blame someone for responding in disagreement.

todd...i'll keep this short cause i gotta run...but as with any drug...there are people who use responsibly, i was a straight a student(believe it or not). if a person has an addicting personality then they may abuse alcohol, caffine, pot, meth or coke. it depends on the person. some people can just have a glass or 2 of wine and thats it...same with mj indulgers. i have no use for any other drugs. if you are smoking pot all day and being unproductive then yeah ya might have a problem with it effecting your life. use responsibly. and for the record, i think it should be treated like alcohol as far as legal age limit.

C'mon OP.....let's not attach things to me which are not true. I don't drink, and I've never had a martini...couldn't even tell you what one is made of.
I would agree with you that alcohol is a drug, and a big problem...and needs a hard look at as well.
To me, the hypocrisy is a guy that has been thru rehab and still promotes the virtues of the things that sent him there?
I'll leave it to law enforcement to decide what is destructive to society...which I am sure includes alcohol.
Edit: Karyn's argument makes more sense than anything I've read yet.

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results: The first worm in alcohol - Dead. The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead. Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead. Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.
So the Minister asked the congregation - What can you learn from this demonstration?
Maxine was setting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,
"As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"
