Jedi Sasquatch And it isn't a crutch, it's just another way to live life. Isn't that like saying that a 6 cylinder car with 2 broken cylinders is just a way of life? Last time I checked, it was called broken.

Jedi Sasquatch Shiori Miko Jedi Sasquatch Shiori Miko Jedi Sasquatch It makes you feel significantly different. Makes you feel hyper, makes you feel like jumping off the walls, etc. But wouldn't that just be effecting your mood, not your senses? You still hear the same, see the same, think the same. No, it affects your senses too. Just to a smaller degree. Your mood always affects your senses. If you ever take a defensive driving course, you'll see that they say you shouldn't drive if you're upset. That's because when you're upset you're less likely to notice little things. Your senses are skewed. Distracted seems like a much better way to describe that. Describe it however you like, but the fact remains that your senses are skewed. Also, even if you're specifically talking about psychoactive drugs, what about coffee? Tons of people practically live off coffee, and coffee skews your senses a lot, so they're living their lives with their senses skewed by a psychoactive drug too. Yet I don't see any of those people having to deal with the damn stigma. My senses work fine when I'm upset, I'm just not using them because I'm focused internally. Maybe I'm a minority though. Coffee also smells bad. xd

Actually, that'd be interesting to see.

Actually, that'd be interesting to see. That doesn't really fit either. Look, saying that anybody who uses marijuana is living life with a crutch is like saying that anybody who plays World of Warcraft is a hopeless loser. Yes, there are a lot of marijuana users who don't do anything with their lives and use it as a crutch. But there are also a lot of marijuana users who only use it casually, and who live perfectly healthy lives.

Jedi Sasquatch Look, saying that anybody who uses marijuana is living life with a crutch is like saying that anybody who plays World of Warcraft is a hopeless loser. Yes, there are a lot of marijuana users who don't do anything with their lives and use it as a crutch. But there are also a lot of marijuana users who only use it casually, and who live perfectly healthy lives. Why do they even use it casually, I wonder? I can think of dozens of activities that people can do before smoking pot. Also, coffee doesn't skew your senses to the point of substantially warping your entire perception of reality. XD CH0Z0 That date was amazing! And we definitely made progress. And the Forever Alone club loses another member. emo (Seriously, though, congratulations. XD) Something wrong, Milady? D:

Foam-Dome CH0Z0 That date was amazing! And we definitely made progress. And the Forever Alone club loses another member. emo (Seriously, though, congratulations. XD) It was a 3 hour show where we got to sit shoulder to shoulder (with my arm around her of course) and then we went and goofed off in the krispy kreme store, the hat fit her but not me xp
