Actually, that's what people usually say when they've never tried them and are usually just repeating what the government and their parents hammer into them. (ie, "drugs are harmful and are a gateway to heavier drugs blah blah")

Maybe they're not for everybody but personally, as far as pot goes... I don't even consider it a drug. It's on the same level as drinking wine with a meal or having a couple of beers. In fact, I think if pot was the drug of choice instead of alcohol, we'd have a lot less violence and deaths happening both in driving accidents and fights at parties etc..

Whenever we used to sit around and smoke up, we'd spend time talking about life and listening to music. Or go out and find cool adventures just to experience doing something while you were high.
With alcohol, everybody gets hammered. Most guys get so bad they can't walk or talk.
They get into fights and parties get loud and wild. Then the next day they puke their guts out.

Yet alcohol is legal and accepted by everybody, and pot is illegal and stick you with a criminal record for the rest of your life.

Don't get me wrong. I'm totally against heroin and hard drugs that destroy your body and make you dependent on them.
But making softer drugs like pot illegal is just plain stupid.
Not to mention the advantages we'd have if hemp could be put into production in paper making and other industrial uses instead of destroying the forests.

Right now, I'd love to be able to go to the local corner hemp store and buy myself a dime bag of some good pot.
Instead, I'm either stuck here drinking beer, or driving to the city and risking my life and limb trying to buy pot illegally on the streets from gang members.

And as far as drugs like pot affecting your memory or destroying your brain... hey...ain't nothin wrong with my mind, and I've been smoking since I was 15.

And now the obligatory legal notice:
I'm neither advocating or recommending drug use for anyone reading this.
These are simply my own opinions and in no way shape or form do I suggest anyone, especially minors, participate in using illegal drug use.
(even having to write that is stupid)
