Cannabis isn't bad for people who can use it responsibly, ie not drive..\nHeroin makes people OD, not cannabis. The "gateway" theory is BS.

Most people need their cars to get to and from work.  Cars are also needed to get to and from stores to buy food and other necessities.  \n\nSmoking is not a necessity.  \n\nBut why do I dislike smoking in public?  \n\nBecause of the smokers that:\n1) Throw their cigarettes on the ground because they are too lazy to clean up after themselves.\n2) Don't pay attention when throwing them out car windows - I once had to quickly pull over on a highway to find a still-lit cigarette some rude smoker tossed out their car window and it went into mine.  And yes, non-smokers should be able to ride with the windows of their own cars down also if they want to.  Riding with them down in your own car causes no problems for other people. Carelessly tossing your cigarette does.\n3) Don't pay attention when waving them around in public, and end up hitting others with the lit end of them.\n4) Hold the cigarette away from themselves so the smoke goes into other people's faces instead of their own.\n5) Ask to be brought ashtrays when seated in the NON-smoking sectiaon of a restaurant becasue they did not want to wait for a table in the smoking section to open up.\n\nOk, I realize not ALL smokers do the above things, but those are the reasons I have a low tolerance for it.

sXe people are insane.  They like to think they are better than everyone because they don't like drugs.  Most of the ones I know who claim to be "sXe, omgz!" smoke cigarettes and drink, they just say they're straight edge for the attention.

lol people are stupid.. when it does become legalized, the US will have more money from marijuana taxes\n\nive been a stoner since i was 14.. im 21 now. ive graduated high school, never been arrested, never commited a crime, never got any vehicle violations, never forgotten anything important or crucial, ive been just like everyone else, maybe even better. \n\nmarijuana doesnt cause people to kill. its been proven. if you still believe that, then youre believing claims from back in the 1930's. its the 2000's. it helps with aids and cancer paitents. its a natural pain killer. tons of famous people smoke it.\n\nto each is her own, thats what i say :)\n\ngreat question :)

Personally, it's not the toxins in second hand smoke that bother me, it's the terrible smell which clings to your clothes and your hair, and for me, triggers my asthma.\n\nIf I'm sitting waiting for a train, and someone comes and sits next to me and just lights up a cigarette, I find it incredibly rude. They show no consideration for other people. I CANNOT be in smokey atmospheres without it triggering an asthma attack......that's my main complaint against it, besides the horrible smell.

One of the best guys I know used to be a huge stoner and is still known to light one up from time to time but the the guy is one hell of a father and he would never run out on his kids. Every one is different you could have a normal non-smoking nice guy run out on his kids and kill a hooker. You could have a stoner go nutts and kill everyone. I don't agree with what a lot of you people have said you pass judgment when you don't ever know the people. It's the person not the drugs they do or the wrong they have done in the past. Everyone has a few problems or bad habits so none of you can say that the guy would be bad with his kids because of a bad habit. If he is a good guy then he will be a good dad.

People hate each other because they are not pleased with themselves which causes them to become jealous of others. Most people are jealous because they see others with the things they feel should be thiers instead of focusing on themselves and trying to get things on their own.

They don't want their cars to smell so they stink up the rest of the world and light it on fire. Now if that isn't the definition of a thoughtless jerk, I don't know what is.\n\nIt's a practice I hate. I live on a main road and pick up about 2-3 packs worth a week from my front yard. As to this creating employment, that's idiotic. If it did, I wouldn't still be hunting for a job.\n\nI've also seen fires that start from tossed cigarettes. One burned several acres and damaged a house. If they'd caught that smoker he'd have gotten jail time for arson.

Because you are a TRUE lover of music you can appreciate all types.  People that hate are people that don't understand.  They are so narrow minded and one sided that it's actually sad for them that they can never broaden their horizons and be a true lover of music for a true appreciation of the arts.

" who would eny liars!!!"\n\nEvidently anyone who would have supported Kerry, Gore, or Clinton\n\nWhy do they hate Bush and the administration?\n\nIt is simple acually. The Dems have gone SO far left. They have turned back into the hippies from the 60's. The hippies were against anything dealing with supressing the want of the individual. They were against any notion of war or defense, no matter the reason. Those who are more inclined to be criminals (what party do you think most drug users and criminals support?) will be against ones that stand for strong laws and prosecution. Religious ideals scare the hippies, so any law or government stemming from those ideals and not supressing those ideals is a threat to the leftists. The ones that remain focused on the preconception, rather than the actual facts, tend to more easily spew hate than logically assess the situation and deal with agree or disagree as a principle.

I've studied this subject a lot and i find that most people are ignorant and only know the propaganda they've been taught. They think its a gateway drug(A study in Neatherlands showed that when weed was legalized the use of heroin and cocaine went down buy a small percentage, so the gateway theory is shit) they've been told that marijuana now is way more potent then what people used to smoke(thats true, but thats a good thing, back in the days you had to smoke a lot more to get high, which means you got more of the other crap you don't need, with higher thc levels you only need a couple of puffs and your good) The whole thing that weed smoke is 4 times more harmful to you then cigg. smoke is also bs. From what i've read, they burned tobacco leaves and marijuana leaves. Every smoker knows nobody smokes the leaves of the marijuana, its the buds we want, in fact we try to keep the buds as leaf free as possible. The whole study was pretty much done by govn't paid scientist who did everything they could to make weed look terrible. People don't realize you don't have to just smoke weed, you can make cannabutter, or smoke with vaporizer which is way healthier way of smoking. The study the US govern't did before is trash and no real scientists buys it. They now realize that the Govn't scientist pretty much cheated and did misleading tests and gave misleading facts. Plus the US govn't gets lots of money and power through the "WAR ON DRUGS".  Like when they say well weed has over 3,500 chemicals in it, thats when you tell them well coffee has over 5,000 chemicals what the hell does that prove. Theres poisons that have only couple of chemicals, so the amount of chemcials means nothing, but it seems like a big deal to the ignorant. Hopefully my generation will see through the lies and make things right. You know over 1,000 people die each year from prescription drugs, taking them the way they were prescribed by their doctor, how many people died from weed 0. Enough said, sorry for writing so much, i just have so much to say. I can keep going but i don't want to waste your day reading it all. LOL Happy 420

Because a lot of smokers are just rude, and feel that they are being "wronged" by society, just because thier smoke is a menace to other people.  They do not seem to comprehend that breathing is necessary for life, but smoking is not.  They do not comprehend that others are not causing a problem by breathing, but they are by putting thier filth into the air.\n\nI am sure you will hear a lot of smokers whine about how they are "forced" outside and stuff like that, but they are the ones that are too weak to cope with life without their little crutch, so they choose to smoke, therefore "force" themselves outside in those circumstances.

I have to agree with you about pretty much everything. I've smoked for about 10 years.  It's the 1 thing I enjoy above all others and the only thing I do anymore.  (Many various flashbacks thru all the times on everything...thanks! lol) I also have a good job & a nice house & continue to be a productive member of society, even though I'm a 'stoner'.  These days, plenty of people use the legal drugs to high every day and condemn us.  Weed is the best!

Who would you rather share the road with a drunk or a stoner. Potheads dont beat their wives and generally dont cause the chaos and trouble that bad alcoholics do, the only reason reefer isnt legal and alcohol is, is because the government cant tax it and there are a lot of undercover drunks in Washington.
