yeah, personally I'm broke as a joke, but I understand the mentality of where I came from 
bein personally rich and havin wealth in your family are two very different things, for me at least.
my old man is a fuckin zillionaire, but I live in a one bedroom apartment in the ghetto. Oh, well, at least he gives me legal protection 
besides living in this place has afforded me a perspective which I would not have otherwise percieved if I had followed the path my family wanted for me.

I do not believe in rendering moral judgments, but I definitely have the right to choose what I tolerate and what I do not. Your post explained my position quite accurately. Good job.

That kinda makes sense when you realize that the Greek Biblical 'pharmakeia' means both drugs and sorcery. Rarely has there been sorcery in which drugs were not involved. Same sort of notion in calling alcoholic liquors 'spirits.' The ancient Greeks had to dilute their wines with as much as 20:1 water to wine because of the herbs that were added to the wine (like Persephone collecting narcotic plants in a thrysus when she was abducted by Hades). People become possessed by the spirits of plants. I choose to become bemushroomed since its effect on my mind-body-spirit seems pleasing to the LORD. Not the case for many other spirits. They must be tested to see if they are of the LORD.

Silversoul said: I don't think it's a good idea to be intolerant of anyone. However, I think it's perfectly legitimate for a drug user to be concerned about someone else's drug habits. I'm not one to judge the moral character of someone for using a substance that I'd prefer not to use. However, if I saw a friend of mine becoming addicted, I would pressure them to seek help, and I would expect them to do the same for me.
Yeah, there's not much you can do aside from that. Typically people won't break a habit until they hit "rock bottom" but even that isn't enough to sway something when all their friends are doing it.
I heard in a song that some people can either leave a mark in you, pass right through, or shine a light that would guide you through a dark time.
If you want to be negative then you'll just leave a mark and further whoever into whatever they're doing. Or you can try shining a light for them and give a detour to something that be worthwhile and would lead away from detrimental drugs.
Whatever you do, don't ask if they have found Jesus and if they havn't then tell them, "OH well you havn't been saved yet" One of my teammates thinks I'm the biggest troubled soul for being jewish, and doing mushrooms every now n then.

drugs are drugs and you cant look down on people for that. Usually its the person not the drug that creates certain actions anyway. In fact weed is worse for you than many other drugs.
I have a mate who doesnt take drugs and he likes me cause number 1: i dont care about his excessive drinking 2: i take a shitload of drugs but dont try to push it onto him... its his fucking choice if he wants them... and for that same reason he doesnt judge me for my choices..
i thought taking drugs awakens you to this whole idea that you can choose what you do with your body and its no one elses buisness unless you are directly hurting them.
