This has been bugging me for a long, long while. My mom was a lawyer, minor alcoholic, and used pot at parties a few times, but never agreed that weed (or any other mind altering substances) could be neutral or beneficial.
Because we are shown the idiots who do drugs poorly on TV and viral videos and people associate that with all drug users because that is the only perspective they really see on it, and if they see the opposite type of drug user, it's few and far between because most people don't openly talk about their drug use, unless it's to other people who they know use drugs.

Sure. But you all have some affinity for the freedom to decide for yourself. Without it, you would have succumbed to the laws set forth by the bloated DEA.

Fair point. i was using it as a figurehead, however, and the point still stands. You, the shroomery at large, have demonstrated at least some critical thinking and the ability to take social norms with a grain of salt.

Fair point. I guess I just need to change how I think about the average psychedelic user. I too jumped on the the "it's a hippie thing" train. I am entirely fallible. Lol.

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm 61 yrs old & have been saying exactly what you are saying for 45 yrs now. Doesn't our fucked-up government remember the Prohibition Act of 1919 fiasco? All that did was kick-start Organized Crime in the USA. Even old man Kennedy made his fortune from bootlegging booze. Alcohol & tobacco deaths are more than every other drug combined. How many people get liquored-up, jump behind-the-wheel & do stupid shit like, "Watch me take this corner at 90 mph!!" A stoned person never feels the need to be an idiot. They'd be twice as safe driving, making sure they obeyed every law. The people who are tripping ballz wouldn't even want to drive, so no problem there. I think ALL substances should be legalized & sold to people 21+ yrs of age...or make hard drugs 25+ yrs old to purchase. Hell, 100-125 yrs ago, heroin, cocaine, etc were sold in pharmacies. Why can't we revert to that once again? Yeah I agree...why the big stink about drugs when booze & cigs kill so many people?

Nope. Not a cigarette. It was a stupid assumption, but part of it was in phrasing. I said liberal, though the intended sense was really just more open to human differences.
