Marijuana

One of the reasons why southern California is such a shithole. It is a gateway drug, dont believe a stoner telling you it isnt. Can cause amotivational syndrome in a lot of people who smoke a lot. You may ignore the social ladder, but it wont ignore you. It hinders your memory. (during and after useage) An overrated drug that is cool to do when you are in your early 20s for experimentation purposes, but should hope to not be doing by the time you have children. Less than 1% of the population smokes it for a reason. It does cause emphysema if used chronically. It doesnt kill you, but there are many more things in life that it may prevent you from exploring. Most people shouldnt be doing drugs unless they are experimenting or need them for medical purposes. Possession charge on your record is not worth it. It is illegal and most likely will be for your lifetime. It is not JUST economics. There are good reasons why it is regulated WORLDWIDE. Leave it subculture. Learn to enjoy life with some exercise, protected sex, coffee, and an occasional alcoholic beverage. It isnt so bad. People arent perfect and marijuana isnt going to fix the problems of society (neither is lsd...although dont we all wish).
