It's not linear buddy, I don't want to work with you in either case. Is your argument still going to be that "pot isn't any worse than "X" so pot should be okay"? Again, why can't we try to live without drugs/alcohol? What is up with you all?

I have done without out drugs including alcohol for the past 29 years. SO it can be done, but I know of no significant harm to the individual or society if they are used responsibly.

No, just that you are unjustly prejudice. As if you haven't worked with hundreds of people, successful people, over the years that use "drugs."

yes "success", well, how is that measured? How will we ever know how much more successful they could have been? Heck, maybe less... Which number is higher, "successful" drug addicts or loser drug addicts?

So not being a drug addict or alcoholic makes me "perfect"? Hmmm... well thanks!

Success is measured by happiness. Incredibly happy people are incredibly successful.

The number of people who use chemicals to alter their state of mind but are still successful and not addicts FAR outweigh those who end up circling the drain. By what margin I don't know, but considering that pretty much everyone you and I know uses chemcials to alter their mental state, it makes me think its a very large margin indeed.

and let me guess, NOW you want to include ANYTHING in the chemical category to prove your point...sigh. Okay, you win, there's nothing wrong with alcohol, drug, cigarette, use... I'm the foolish one and you all are the wiser.

Never said that. You do have a funny habit of putting phrases into people's "mouths" so to speak.

I was surmising what you might say and didn't say you said that but if you'd like to read the thread... You did say, "mind altering" a few posts ago and it was determined that caffeine is "mind altering" so...

Oh and speaking of telling people what they know...

Your statement,

"No, just that you are unjustly prejudice. As if you haven't worked with hundreds of people, successful people, over the years that use "drugs.""

Look, you win bro, I hope you all live happy and productive brain addled lives. Hopefully, you'll remember at least 50% of it.
