It’s quite evident that people actually still think these sorts of arguments are valid. If they’re pushing THIS hard to try and prove it to be true, they most likely use the same line of horribly ignorant and self-righteous reasoning in other facets of life.

People are finally realizing that their opinions don’t equate to logical fact, which is beautiful, and it’s what’s tipping the pro-marijuana scales. Hopefully morons like this “rehab counselor” and their propaganda are washed away sooner than later.

What exactly is that?

Am I supposed to chase fame or notoriety? Win the Nobel prize? Be the one with the most money when I die? Write the next great American novel?

What exactly is my full potential and why is it necessary that I reach it in the first place?

Perhaps I am a simple man leading a simple life but I don’t have interest in any of that. My interest is my family and my friends and spending as much quality time with them as my life allows. I work hard to make sure my family is taken care of and my kids educations paid for.

I could have, potentially, stuck with music and, potentially, been a huge success. I chose to get a degree, a job, and a house full of happiness, instead. Which path would have ensured I not “underachieve”, I wonder? I suppose it depends on your point of view, doesn’t it?

I’m reminded of the end of the movie “Field of Dreams” when Doc, a talented baseball player, examines the choice of quitting baseball to pursue a woman and the life of a small town doctor. …Hmm?

For the most part, I love my life. I can look back and say I enjoyed my life and have few regrets. I can look forward and say I plan to enjoy my retirement and grandkids. Shouldn’t I be the best judge and decider of how I live my own life? What goals I choose to achieve? Who is the judge of a “well lived life”? Dr. Dru? The government? My Mom? The invisible man in the sky?

I think I’ll reserve the right to hold that judgment on myself.

Interestingly enough, my life resembles pretty much everyone else’s in my middle class tax bracket. I’m ordinary. I own a home in the suburbs and perform all the activities that go along with that. I have a wife and 2 kids. Marijuana users, or not, were all running the same rat race. I’m just running it with a little bit more of a grin.

With people like Dr. Drew and this guy it’s no wonder…

Before we make any hasty decisions, lets all go out and get a copy of “Reefer Madness” and study “marihuana”. Only then can we make an intelligent and unbiased vote. Maybe we can charge the state for the copy of “Reefer Madness”

This is my response:
Are you kidding me? You can’t be serious! “Reefer Madness”. Really? Are you a Gov. STOOGE? It’s well known that “Reefer Madness” was created as social propaganda to scare Americans. Like I said in “my” post. “What is really sad is the majority of the public believes ALL of this ‘spoon fed’ garbage the Gov. WANTS you to believe.” How sad when the people lose the ability to THINK for THEMSELVES. With THESE type of idiots not looking at the long term results of this “drug War” are doing NOTHING but exacerbating the situation!!! After all. WAR is right in the title!

Otherwise, could you talk to him about the studie that Drew Edwards is claiming exist?

Isn´t that exactely the opposite of what e.g. Mitch Earlywine says that the data shows?
That there are no real diffrence between users and non-users.
Thanks!

Now if he would justy speek the truth to begin with, these parents may have less to worry about. Then they can sit down with their kids speeking with thruth and the facts, you never know that kid may just realize that school is more important than pot right now. Whatever happened to talking with your kids anyhow. I have four kids, three in their teens and I know for a fact they dont want to be lied too and told fairy tales about drugs or anything!
