Haha bozz, what's it like being a cheerleader?
I don't know LET, that sure sounds to me like a condescending attitude towards those who believe that living a little includes smoking some green here and there (trust me, like the guy above me who quoted statistics on America's usage, there are quite a few of us).
I'm pretty sure the bold phrase above constitutes an "opinion" despite you saying that "[you] don't have an opinion on the matter."
Like I said, I respect your choice to abstain especially given all the work you have put into your career, but you obviously demonstrate some miniscule amount of superiority over those of us who choose to break this law. I think it is an unjust and unethical law and I will choose to break it (ps it's break not brake) at my own risk. It's pretty easy to see an up-coming drug test and plan accordingly.
Lastly, the part that bozz bolded is pretty ridiculous. Do you honestly think that standing up for marijuana legalization (the right to do whatever I want with my body so long as it doesn't bring harm to others) constitutes me walking up to the dean of UCSD and sparking a J in protest? Come on LET, you make great posts on this website and I think you can reason yourself through this one..
It's like gay marriage: Do I need to be gay in order to fight against the ban on gay marriage? Of course not, and that's exactly how it is with MJ. As you can see there are plenty of people in this thread who don't indulge but would agree that the laws are pretty damn ass-backwards and that they are worth standing up for simply on the principle of the matter.
edit: As for the whole sheep thing, I'd agree with your most recent post.. it is illegal after all and you don't just want to throw away all those years of work for something so simple and stupid. Wanting to cover your own ass doesn't make you part of the herd.. I'd say it makes you smarter than most. It's just that I feel like there is so much anti-drug rhetoric in this thread and that people are just vomiting all over it without really reading into what they are saying.
Wow. Just, wow. The automatic association between "living a little" and pot-smoking is either really funny or really sad. I haven't really decided which. You know what's really fun and isn't illegal? Sex. Also, alcohol, in moderation. Oh, and doing fun stuff with fun people.
