[QUOTE="jacobthecool, post: 2937564, member: 100863"] Xue Fang and co. this may sound harsh but it sounds like you hang about with alot of people with a lack of self control. I've known alot of people that smoke 'pot' and the vast majority of them went on to do productive or semi-productive things. Considering alot of people are posting various different experiences of people who use pot- some saying its the root of all evil, others saying it makes no difference and people in the middle- perhaps this shows us that its not actually the 'pot' but the people and the areas/societies they are living in that determines the potential of becoming 'wasters'. Also about the alcohol 'non sequiteur' argument you can argue that it's not relevant but given that alcohol is generally acknowledged to be just as capable of ruining people's lives as 'pot' and just as open to abuse.. . and personally I would imagine the statistics for alcholics is alot higher than for 'cannabis addictees'. As such I think that if your not ok with pot because of its potential for abuse then your being a bit inconsistent if you think alcohol is fine since most people can take it in moderation. [/QUOTE]
