Sigh....
OK, maybe Bill Hicks said that, too. I don't know who originally came up with it, but here is where Sam says it, circa 1990.

BTW, the sample you can download doesn't include that, so you'll have to take my word that it is in there. ;D

Yeah, you won't live longer, it just SEEMS like it!
Take it from a person who lives in a culture rife with alcoholism, there are worse things than soft drugs. Education and legalisation is the way to go, holland rocks in this respect. I was at a rave where a young girl actually drowned from drinking so much water. At the time the education was to 'drink lots of water', which the girl and her friends were doing, as instructed. After this incident, official literature was changed to 'sip a pint of water every hour'. One example of many. The main problem is drilling it into kids in school "DRUGS KILL", "HEROIN, POT, COCAINE are just some drugs", then the kids grow up seeing soft drugs being used regularly without anybody dying, another example. Educate on the types of drugs, effects, side effects, everything. Arm children for what they face instead of misinforming them.

I think people here need to see requiem for a dream. I only did pot. I would never have dreamed of doing anything harder, because it does f*** you up. Pot is tamer. and once again, i wasn't going to do it for much longer. but people keep saying: DRUGS ARE EVIL!!! OH MY GOD!!! I feel absolutely no different, and the high isnt worth ruining my friendship with my mom. Dont call tis a f***ing revelation, because it was my previous stance.

erm.....your "proof" assumes I'm not useless. ;D
My major use in life is to hold open doors (a doorstop, as it were), and depending on the door, I'm pretty piss poor at it.

man that sounds good. Wait, do you mean a parent like as in "dad, can I borrow 5(hundred dollars)? Or the kind of parent as in "son, you can't buy that gun, because I don't want you to have it".
Is that one of those "gray areas" I've heard about?
Floyd10:
BTW Cutting yourself (which I dont advocate, and is far worse than pot in terms of damage, and everything else) is legal, yet pot isnt. Smoking is legal, pot isnt.
This doesnt make much sense.
and cant a gun aimed at your mouth do more damage than a joint?
Legalising and advocation are 2 different things. Guns are legal, but do we encourage everyone to shoot people?
