@uber: Interesting way of putting it. That’s actually the reason I went from being so fucking anti drug Nancy Reagan would adopt me to who I am now. More open-minded, more tolerant, and more aware of who I am as a person. Not to mention more aware of how drugs affect the world and people around me. It occurred to me when I was 18 that I was spouting a lot of facts with no personal experience. And I couldn’t very well look down on my friends or peers if I didn’t even stop to consider their side.
Long story short, I got some weed (surprisingly easy for someone who had no contacts hehe), smoked up and spent a month totally baked that year. Then I was over it. It has wonderful health benefits for me, but mostly it’s a nice way to relax every couple months, just smoke and go outside and stargaze, or whatever.
Now that I have some experience under my belt with drugs, not just marijuana, I’m totally with you about being confined to your home. Ridiculous. Besides, 90% of the time you don’t even want to move. :-p
