I don't see how you can label everyone (or even half) who smokes as someone who's entire life revolves around it. Do you see people who drink coffee several times a day and judge them as pathetic caffine junkies?

It's funny how people get labeled as worthless just because they smoke pot regularly. Ignorant people seem to see lazy worthless college aged smokers and think that's just how everyone is from smoking. It's funny though.. Almost all of my friends who smoke regularly carry 40+ hour a week jobs and are considered top quality employees, or are getting good grades in school while working part time on the side, or some other mix of "not being worthless."

You guys are taking what I'm saying out of context. I'm not saying that everyone that smokes weed is lazy or whatever. What I am saying is there are a lot of people who smoke weed that feel the need to constantly talk about it and make it such a large part of their life that it becomes a defining characteristic of who they are.

I'm by no means against drug use, and actually use certain substances myselfr from time to time. A perfect example of what I'm saying is my roommate. I've lived with the kid for 8 or so months now, and just recently found out that he is a daily pot smoker. For 5-6 months we lived together and he knew I didn't smoke, so he just never felt the need to bring it up. Despite being a daily pot smoker, he is one of the smartest, hardest working individuals I know and is actually headed off to Stanford in the fall for graduate school. He is the type of person who smokes pot, but doesn't allow it to define who he is.

A lot of people who smoke aren't like him and instead feel the need to plaster pot leaves or "420" all over the place, or constantly talk about pot to let everyone know that they smoke. The stereotypical pot head isnt the person who smokes pot, but the person who wants everyone else to know that they smoke pot... and this thread is just a prime example of that.

This is because its illegal and it shouldn't be. People wouldn't talk about using it or plaster pot leaves or "420" everywhere if it was and had been perfectly legal for a long time.

The only way it will become legal is when law makers realized they would need to put 50% of the US population in jail if they actually followed their own drug laws.
