No. Based on observation of brain-dead human clutter I know that worship
dope. I have seen their mental skills degrade.

please dont believe me. Keep smoking. Be my guest. Its your brain. Im not
out to persuade anyone to get control over their lives & emotions and be
happy and fulfilled who doesnt want to. Keep using external means to change
your state.
Heard of people who's lives were destroyed by heroin or
>cocaine, but I've never heard of anyone whose life was destroyed by pot
I did _not_ say "life destroyed". May be my standards of functioning are
too high for most. I keep getting _better_, and I am not content to stay
merely/barely "functioning".

That statement tells volumes about you and your beliefs.

yes, they are. I agree.
Look, drugs have their use, and if your wernt so gung-ho on defending
_your_ drug you would have understood my post. The point is to maximize
benefits and minimize detriments. If a persons goal is to forget their
meaningless life--then dope gives you far more benifits than detriments and
IS a good drug choice. But then again, so was the hammer.

I can make such statements because I happen to know what Im talking about.
Im not saying pot is *morally* wrong. Im saying that its ignorant(and Im
using the dictionary-definition of ignorant here) to use them to accomplish
what could be better accomplished by other more productive means--means
that put YOU, not the DRUG, in control of your state.

I know _you_ cant/dont-->thats why you use external means. No offense, but
that is sad to me(honestly). Look at most people: They work at a job they
dont like all week, then use the weekend to try and forget how unhappy they
are. Then monday comes and they repeat the cycle. They want fulfillment in
their life and waste their life looking for something outside without
working on the inside. They will _never_ find what they are looking for
doing that.
You think that is growth? That is a dead end, and most people are trapped
in it. Im sorry that you are too.
Life is more than 'whip up a buzz' anyway. You wont find what youre looking
for/whats missing in your life in a 'buzz'.
