how do you feel about people who dont use drugs?

I'm anti drugs big time.

[Berzerker]

I'm anti-non drug user, they have this evil desire to put me in a cage if I use pot

oh wait, I guess a bunch of them do use drugs...but they've made a convenient distinction between the drugs they like and the drugs I like. Okay okay, some of them would legalise the drugs I like... Did I avoid mislabelling anyone?

The problem with chronic use of drugs (including alchohol of course) is that it tends to inhibit growth in people. I know a hard core alchoholic who is my age (45) yet is still about 17 years old mentally, as that is the year he started drinking heavily. He's quite intelligent and funny during the few minutes a day he isn't so drunk that he's a complete *******. Speaking of *******s, just take any reasonable person and add cocaine. My favorite drug users are probably those who smoke marijuana. They can be stoned to the point of uselessness, but they don't tend to be obnoxious or dangerous if you keep your expectations in check. That said, I know a number of highly educated and functional people who still enjoy the occasional toke.

The "it screws your brain" line is BS. Some of history's greatest intellectuals were regular drug users.

That doesn't mean that they were happy, or weren't mentally ill. Most drugs have an impact on mood, some of them years after use has stopped.

You make that sound as if it's a bad thing?

OTOH, I hate tobacco-smokers with a passion

To quote Bill Hicks (I could do that several times in thread, me thinks)

ON SMOKING

I smoke, if this bothers anyone, I recommend you looking around the world in which we live and... shutting your ****ing mouth. Either that or suffer a facial burn, your choice. After all this is America, land of freedom, so you have that option ahead of you. I now realize I smoke for simply one reason, and that is spite. I hate you non-smokers with all of my little black ****ing heart, you obnoxious, self-righteous, whining little ****s, my biggest fear, if I quit smoking, is that I'll become one of you. Now don't take that wrong.

The one use i could find for a drug user is to get the most over-used heroin needle possible and when i hear some self absorbred cr** like that i could stab that person in the arm with it and tell them if i have to put up with their habit, they can share mine.
If i get some speech about how smoking is legal, well i'll go get so drunk then one whiff of that burning cess pit in your mouth and you can have some projectile vomit.

Some of histories greatest intellectuals also had severe mental issues thanks to it.

[Fake Boris]

Most mental issues related to drugs cannot trace back to a single cause. Take Gramps for instance. I doubt his drug use would have degenerated into abuse if it weren't for his familial problems.

I think it's safe to assert that one of history's greatest thinker - Descartes - MUST have had some mushrooms to write his meditations.

that is a great story

And that, ladies and gentlemen, explains our President.


Thank you, and good night.
