I'm bored so I am starting a new topic I do not think I have ever sen here...at least not during my time on the site.

Given how cannabis more or less decriminalized in some sort of way nation wide despite being a schedule 1 substance under the federal government...or if you're from Canada, it is straight up legal nationwide starting in 2018....I was curious on others thoughts on the use of cannabis.

For starters, I was never in with the pothead crowd in high school, and it wasn't until after I graduated that I started smoking. My parents have always smoked, and for the most part they always trusted me with my better judgement, so they never really told me it was this horrible thing that I should stay away from...on the contrary my parents are and since high school always have been potheads.

So to spare the details, I started smoking after school about every day after work. I was in this period where I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life ( I still am not 100% sure what I want to do now either) and all I would do is work almost 40hrs a week at my local McDonalds. Now I drink, but I really only drink socially and I always felt that drinking does way more harm to you physical and mental health, and alcohol wasn't an easy access to me so that's why I started smoking weed.

Now, I am not one of those stereotypical stoners who's all like '420 blaze it man' or some shit...But I will tell you that I love smoking...I like that temporary disconnect from the real world and the stress that accompanies it. Today, I don't work the same job I did right after high school. Now I am working two jobs, the first is a first clerk at a local supermarket, the second is a part time CNC machine operator, and between both jobs I get around 60-80 hrs a week. Because of this I don't smoke as much as I use to, maybe around 3 days out of the week.

Anyway, do you smoke weed? Do you use any other drugs? why? if not, what is your reasoning? Do you think it should be illegal? Do you have any fun stories to share while you were high?

I've never touched a single (illegal) drug in my life but I will not talk shit on anyone who has/does. I like to drink on occasion and haven't touched a cigarette since I was a teenager. I like an occasional Guinness, Shinerbock or Pabst.

I don't think there should be any laws against adult use of drugs. It's your body and you have the right to take care of it or poison it. If you harm anyone else or threaten to harm them -- that's when the cops should intervene. If someone falls into drug addiction I'd rather see them go to their doctor for help and get weaned off than get thrown into a prison for 20 years while a rapist or murderer gets out after 5.

I'd rather see a convenience store for adults 21 and up where you can buy a bag of cocaine for $5 that dons the "Bayer" brand. I'd rather see it legal, regulated and have a small tax levied to fund rehab than illegal and driving up the value...so terrorists can make bukoos of money to fund their operations.

I don't do drugs and don't plan to.

I'd say caffine but thats it.
