Uh, I'm talking about the "one time and you're hooked" mantra. Which is why I followed that up with statements about physical dependency on drugs.
My point still stands. There are also cases where addictions manifested after only one use, too. Not with marijuana, but definitely with harder drugs. Again--it happens, and we can't ignore it just because it's "rare". Unless we're only talking about marijuana, in which case, yeah, it's been shown time and time again that it's not inherently addictive, so whatever, I guess that's bullshit.

The notion that "it only takes one" is very detrimental, because very few drugs can cause a physical dependency with only one encounter. Well, let's not pretend it hasn't happened, now. There are cases where people have died after one dose of heroin. Or cocaine, or ecstasy. It happens. We can't just ignore that fact just because it doesn't happen very often. Of course teenagers are stupid, and that's why they aren't allowed to drink or run for president. They still should be educated on the subject; because even with impaired judgement abilities, knowing what the fuck you're looking at still helps people to make the right decision. Sigh. Sure.

Give people access to information on this stuff so that they can make informed decisions on their choices. Because at the moment, the [incorrect] perspective that marijuana dunt do nuffin is stupidly popular. And that's because, as a Category 1 substance, studies related to its effects are much more sparse in comparison to things such as tobacco and alcohol.
The fact that it's a Category 1 substance is pretty fucked up, yeah. Kinda makes it difficult to test its long-term effects when it's considered as illicit as fucking heroin. Thank you, drug war. I'm just saying--we can give people the opportunity to make informed decisions. That sounds like a great idea. But there's a correct decision to be made, and nobody's going to want to hear it, because "muh body; muh choice."

Preaching abstinence is fucking retarded in every case. Well, it certainly worked a whole hell of a lot for me. Why? Do I just kick ass, and everyone else sucks, or what? that's what i like to tell myself And that's not what I meant; education would mean to teach what a substance is and what effects it has (both short and long term). It's gonna be pretty hard to do that without having some sort of agenda. Not that agendas are bad. But teenagers are retards--they rebel for the sake of rebellion all the time, and we both know that. So personally, I think it's just fucked.

Well fuck me then, I'm not going to stay interested in this site long enough to get that. Dammit.
You can get yourself a snazzy titlebar at your current rank, though. Ask Nuka.

education you're kidding, right all throughout K-12, "drugs are bad" is fucking HAMMERED into your brain but people STILL don't give a fuck I'm not saying I have a better solution--I'm saying we've already tried and failed at that particular solution. Rehabilitation is cleaning up spilled milk--which doesn't solve the problem of not having milk-spillers in the first place.

I guess I'm not trustworthy, then, since I meet every requirement and still can't get my Sultan of Swing title that I so covet. :c Title bar, not title. You achieve custom titles as soon as you achieve the Marty rank. The requirements for which are 117 days logged into the site on your account, and somewhere around 15,000 posts. No one actually knows the number of posts needed. I got it very early starting at around 14k posts, so... Yeah.

Yes.
A better question would be, "Have your friends done anything smart?"

abuse. How would you define "abuse"? Curious. Actual plot spoilers--do not click if you don't want to be spoiled Any and all recreational use is abuse.

"Moderation" is such a fucking platitude.
Moderate pot is zero pot.

so what was the point in saying that? I'm stating my disagreement with OP.
He wants it nerfed. I don't.
nerfing the range wouldn't make it useless, though
I think it would.

Apparently, you can't even use it infinitely anymore. So whatever.
that's a good thing
Never said it wasn't--I'm just saying, I'd rather not have my favorite weapon be made completely useless.
it isn't, though

my high school didn't let kids bring backpacks to class
I don't believe you.
Mine didn't, ether. Apart from being a MASSIVE inconvenience, it's also fucking retarded for reasons I shouldn't even have to explain. Like, if I were to be carrying a bomb or weapon in my backpack, there's no rule stopping me from utilizing it in the fucking hallway.

And that's why we have minimum age requirements.
Because kids and teens don't drink and smoke anyway right?

Completely agree. If you smoke weed, at all, fuck you. That's all I have to say.

There is nothing wrong with occasional consumption Wouldn't even say that. I mean, good for your friend. But no, it's never okay. Ever.

People who say interweb unironically need to be placed in death comcentration friendly compensated labor camps areas.
What about "the Internets"? Which is what my grandparents call it.
