It's part of being human, altering your perceptions knowingly and deliberately.

Nahhh, it's part of trying to be something that you're not.

 

Drugs are for others. You can be yourself without them. Anything else is not fulfulling your potential.

 

Drugs don't make people, people make drugs, and people are far more interesting without them.

 

The brain is the most amazing instrument ever created and it functions beautifully in its natural state. Surely, the world is the most incredible place if you appreciate it first hand?

 

What's missing if you need perception altering drugs to fill a gap?

Let's get one thing clear straight away. Cannabis is not "a drug". Or rather, it is, but the term "drug" immediately gives rise to all sorts of associations that are mostly political. In the first instance, and this should be remembered when talking about "drugs" in any negative sense, is that cannabis is a plant. It is when this natural substance is prepared and then ingested in certain ways that it becomes a drug: exactly the same way that alcohol is based on natural ingredients (yeast, water, sugar, barley/hops/anything else) prepared in certain ways, as is heroin (the opium poppy), cocaine (the coca leaf) and so on. Drugs do, quite literally, grow on trees. It is when we associate these natural substances with the usually pejorative term "drug" that they start becoming the sorts of things politicians, newspapers, teenagers get interested in.... but please remember, it's just a bloody flower.People make drugs.

so what's your point. Is anything that's processed automatically bad?

What about caffeine in coffee? Alchohol? endorphins released when you eat chocolate? That's chocolate having a direct effect on your brain, does that mean we should ban chocolate?

 

It sounds to me like the label attached to canabis has altered your view of it.

The label attached to cannabis has been attached by scientists that it damages brain cells ,ok alchohol & ciggys are bad for you,a driver can be banned for drink driving while a moron high as a kite on cannabis can drive around all day long.I have seen these kids first hand & it is frightening,I guess we live in a society that some say it is bad some say it isn't .The plain fact is Cannabis is a drug & the qoute I made, came from a Cannabis website not from me.Plenty of kids have gone on to harder stuff after starting on Cannabis & I know this first hand as well.
