Without reading most of the novels you people have posted, I'll just give my feelings on the issue.
Is smoking marijuana evil? Not at all. Is it monumentally stupid? In every conceivable way. I can't come up with a single reason why I'd want to injest something which could potentially be dangerous to myself and others. I'd rather play Melee. Lets do a comparison, shall we? Try and stay with me, potheads, I'll speak slowly.
Super Smash Bros. Melee: One time cost, then you can enjoy it anytime you wish. You can enjoy it with friends or alone, and best of all, if a cop pulls you over and you've got a copy of Melee, you won't get punished (unless the cop is a PS2 or XBox fanboy)
Marijuana: Have to keep paying for it, and when you get addicted, it adds up. If you have friends just as idiotic as you that want to do it with you, then great. Cops don't smile much when they find marijuana in a car, and if you're high, then they're really not laughing. They've got a little 6 by 9 room for you with a barred door for you to stay in for a while.
See? Now doesn't playing Melee seem like it'd be a lot more sensible? Truly, I can't imagine some mind-altering drug being more fun than sitting down in a comfortable chair with a game controller in my hand, or going out and having legal fun with my friends.
So if you want to smoke pot, you go right ahead. I think of it as weeding out the weak and stupid.
Oh, and Sacred Jellybean? Marijuana doesn't kill you directly. What kills you is the stupid shit you think you can do when you're high on it, like drive.
(note: Please don't turn this into a Melee argument. I just used Melee because t's one of my favorite games. If you don't like Melee, replace it with your favorite games instead)
That's what I have to say on the matter, now I'll step off my soapbox (you're right DJ, that <i>is</i> the stupidest word ever created!)
