I started smoking weed the summer of 1978. I remember it like yesterday,,
In 30 yrs Ive never had weed bring a bad thing onto me , It has helped me get through some tough times ,And today Ive learned that I enjoy my life better when Im stoned , I smoke just about before I do anything or go anywhere .. Life Is Good

I can say ive failed about 3 or 4 piss tests in my life because of weed. It definately fucked me up in that department. And I dont blame weed for my problems and my opiate addiction. The plant didnt shove the pill down my throat.

No. Weed has not ruined my life. In fact, it has enhanced it. It will only ruin your life if you LET it. The simple fact that its illegal makes it something that has the potential to ruin lives. That being said... its actually not WEED that ruins lives... its the unjust law which prohibits it... and the people that are stupid enough to get busted with it. Marijuana is just an innocent plant that grows in nature. It happens to have medicinal and recreational uses. Its completely harmless... and should not be blamed for lives which have been ruined.

you cant blame pot for making you experiment with other stuff. the bud didnt just start talking and tell you to take pills or snort coke or anything else you might do. if you experiment with other stuff thats all on you. unless you got too stoned to not know how to think straight and then did it and if thats the case you shouldnt smoke pot.

gateway. blaa blaa blaa. bullshit IMO. with that line of thinking the gateway would have started when you took that first swallow of breast milk, or formula. it altered your mood right?
ok ok that's to complicated. lets jump to when you had your first soda, cup of coffee, rock concert, stink finger. the world as it exist today is full of mood altering chemicals and activities. in food all the may down to watching a movie. its a reward process in the brain.
do you think that guy running down the street that weights 80# is doing it for his health. he is getting high man. ask any true runner they will tell you if they are conscious of it.
i have seen my wife's eyes dilate when we walk into a casino, shes like a crack head in there man. up $1000 dollars and she finally stopped at $300. when we left she could not understand what happened. why she would make those decision there and at home pinch penny's. she didn't understand until she realized she was getting off on it. she was stoned man, in the same sense as chemicals. alter heart rate, changed thought patterns, altered mood. its all relevant.
if we keep teaching our children and the addict the same ideology's and bullshit facts about drugs and addiction, that where taught to us and still are being taught today to the medical professionals we will continue to raise children to be addicts and addict to be victims.

I also agree with yelo, hes got the idea! knock it up another notch, and you can see how you can be addicted to practically anything.

like their esample of marijuana, its not wrong, just not completly true.

it intense now. imagine you the addicted one, or the spouse, mother, brother, sister of the addict. its fucking maddening.
for 1. most of the rehab centers are scum, filled with people who really just need a place to stay with no intent of getting clean. so filled that you cant even get in. even with insurance. then the insurance wants to only pay for part of it, or 28 days. the hospital will find any reason for you to stay for the whole time that the insurance will pay. but the fucking minute the insurance stops paying your cured get out.
2. these people who are treating addicts are stuck in the last century. they want you to believe that you have a disease, that there is nothing you can do. go to a meeting, pray, and say the serenity prayer when the pipe/needle/bottle/pill/sex/gambling/life calls.
all bullshit.
there is something you can do. THINK!!!!! make the decision not to be addicted. learn everything you can about addictions, all views. learn or be taught how the brains works, and what you really doing to it. what may be missing, chemical wise to start, or what you have depleted because of your chemical dependencies.
it goes way farther that these two statements but i am trying to prove a point not change the world. JUST YOUR MIND. hahahahhahahahaha
seriously think about it. i dont claim to know everything or have all the answers. but i have been there. played the game they wanted to; admited i was helpless to my addiction, and the other 12 lies (i mean steps) wasted lots of money to add to the damage i had already created, and in the end nothing changed. i had to change. my knowledge, my action, and my thought process.

Wow it is getting wild in here. Thought I would pop my two cents in.
Stoney's right, Gateway theory is BULLSHIT! Yep, I called it. I struggled with alcohol myself, for years. I found out that it was all me, how I looked at life, and ultimately how I decided to act. I can not blame my drinking on anyone else but myself. Genetic predisposition, perceived "illness" or not I am responsible for myself.
Pot may be the first substance a lot of people try but that is only because it is so prevalent in our society. I can go pretty much anyplace in the USA and get weed. Now heroin, coke, prescription drugs, ect; these are much harder to find. Pot is also safe and very mild so of course it is going to be the first thing people try. My point is NO MATTER what the laws or penalties or even level of enforcement people will have access to and will use illegal drugs. No matter what there will be a portion of society that abuses those drugs.
To say that pot got abusive people started is bull too, it is in their personality to be self destructive so pot or not they will use other substances.
Oh yeah and
