not everyone that uses recreational substances are illiterate degenerates. i am sorry you dont understand that plenty of perfectly normal, successful, and otherwise law abiding citizens that take recreational drugs. everyone from your god send savior "obama" down to the joe the plumber have smoked bud. you know what else? they probably thought it was something interesting to talk about at some point. considering the ties these recreational substances have with musicians and the music they made, it is actually a pretty relevant discussion topic.

like with every thread there is plenty of garbage in here, but there has been quite a bit of positive discussion and quality post by some of the members. we would LOVE to have you contribute to the thread, and unless i am mistaken you are a self admitted smoker of the herb yourself.
I do smoke and that's half the reason I hate opening this thread and seeing some boring Cheech and Chong scenario played out by people who contribute nothing other than "I got soooo high this weekend." It's actually interesting to walk in here and see Oojay run around spitting anti-drug Propaganda and then get shot down and proven wrong by several members. Unfortunately, those discussions are quickly drown out by twenty posts that all say the same basic stereotypical stoner things.

There's plenty more worthwhile things to discuss, both Washington and Massachusetts (admittedly they're two of the most liberal states, one allows gay marriage and the other has one of the better civil unions programs out of everyone else and will probably end up flat out legalizing gay marriage itself in a few years) have decriminalized Marijuana which could be a major step up to more states (probably California next if these sort of trends go blue states first as they normally do) following suit. That to me - looser drug laws and keeping nonviolent offenders out of prison - is far more exciting than "dude I got so high this weekend."
