I think anyone who needs alcohol and/or drugs to have fun leads a very boring and pointless shitlife existance.
That's why I took up playing guitar. (Well, that and I liked music). While all of the other kids my age went out and got "totally fucking bombed, yeah!", I did something constructive. I think I get more enjoyment from that than I ever would "getting totally fucking bombed, yeah."

I've never done drugs.. never will .. never want to..
I have the occasional drink - love my guinness.. is alcohol a drug? Hmmm... Maybe .. but it's legal.. and dope isn't .. at least not right now it isn't.
Do I condone its use for medicinal (sp) purposes??? No.. it's illegal !! You wanna take away the pain?? Go to a doctor and get a shot! By smoking pot.. you are increasing your pain by subjecting yourself to the possibility of getting cancer... Increase chances of Cancer of the throat, lungs, mouth .. what the hell kinda medicinal drug is that ???
And here's the hypocracy ==> They'll make pot, an illegal drug, available for medicinal purposes, but they won't make, say, Cocaine, or methadone, or heroine, all illegal drugs, available.. Why? They're all freakin' illegal drugs.. why make one available and not the others?? Sure.. Coke, Heroine, Methadone,.. they're BAD drugs.. they're addictive.. SO ARE CIGARETTES FOR CRIPES SAKES.. THE BIGGEST KILLERS OUT THERE..
and I'm not saying they should be make these horrible drugs available to anyone.. I'm just trying to point out that if you make one one illegal drug available to ailiing people.. make them all available... If the gov'ts wanna make pot available to ailing poeple.. make the damn stuff legal..
I'm not huge on morality.. don't get me wrong. I've had my day in the drunk tank .. sleeping in the middle of fields, and pulling all nighters .. sure.. drinking is hard on the liver .. if you do it too much .. but it's legal..
Should pot be legal?? not for me to decide.. Do I care if it does?? not really... But I find it as disgusting as smoking a cigarette. It stinks .. and it can kill you. Drinking can, yes.. I know that.. and that the debate isn't it??
I'm open to debate on this one.. I can argue both sides..

I agree with UM (except the guitar part. Harpsichord is the way to go). IMO, drugs are bad for most non-medical applications. I see little use for them otherwise. I even avoid caffeine.

Frank: I tried Harpischord, but I was so overwhelmed will flirting young lovely women, I had to turn to an instrument that was less popular with the ladies. That, and I wanted to play the riff from 'Crazy Train'.

Something less popular with the ladies? Guitar? Ohhhh..... I dunno... where I come from, guitar is VERY popular with the ladies... or maybe that's just me... *L* What do you play? Electric, acoustic, both? Just wondering....
And as for the purpose of this thread: I've never smoked pot. I've never had a drink. I've never even TRIED a cigarette. And I've never done anything else that's even REMOTELY "illegal" or "rebellious"... I've just always been able to find better things to do, I guess....

Hey, marijuana isn't bad, afterall it's just a plant...like all the rest of the plants on the Earth. Save that someone somewhere at some point discovered that it does wacky things to the brain. Does that make it a bad plant? Hardly...it has some reason to exist in the scheme of nature other than to dull the sences of teenager slackers.
Marijuana doens't get you high, smoking marijuana does. Hell, it's the same form of argument that pro-gun types use.

I as well applaud LOA, and all of the forums advocates of anti-drug use.
Oh, LOA: I play both, depending on what kind of 'mood' I'm in. There are certain things you can do with each. And I was being sarcastic about the Harpischord thing. guitar is pretty popular with the ladies here, too.
Like a while ago, I was 'jamming', and a girl asked me if I was playing as Les Paul. I said 'yeah'. She said 'it's nice.' and left. Like I said, the guitar is popular here.

No way... a Les Paul??? Ohhhh...... *drools* What kind???
I've got a 1956 Gibson ES-225t that I'm learning to play on... it's AWESOME.... near perfect condition, and plays like you wouldn't BELIEVE.....
But Les Pauls are... ohhhh.... *drools some more*.... NICE......

First: Ya know, I know people who are completely and utterly boring and stupid who don't do weed. And some of my most interesting friends (I can think of two off the top of my head, both of whom are funny, work hard, one is a DJ and stand-up comic and the other DJs in a band that is in the process of being signed) get high often. So, by anecdotal logic, smoking pot is neccessary to be motivated.
Ultra: ooh, Crazy Train? I can play the bassline for Paranoid, so we'll need to jam next time you're in my part of the woods.

Oh, and the theory that using pot leads you to harder stuff is shite. I think Liam put it well. The other thing is that those who do pot often have to hang out with those who do harder drugs, do to the moronic laws. That makes it easier. Yet, it still isn't as prevalent as Republicans tell you it is.
And incidentally, we got by just fine when acid was legalized. Sure, you'll have your Syd Barretts. But you have your Bon Scotts and John Bonhams too.
