1. Explain to me why you shouldn't use it, ever. I know he's not forced to use it. And I doubt anybody is forcing him. It's a choice.

Because it's a fucking retarded choice. I shouldn't have to explain why mind-altering drugs are fucking idiotic.
They alter your mind.

That's about as stupid as you can fucking get.

Oh boy, here comes some dumbass fucking video game comparison.
"But Verb! Video games alter the mind, too!! Doesn't that make you a hypocrite, Verb??"

No, fuck you. Video games don't alter your fucking mind. Not in the same way that drugs do.

Ah, now I see where your thick headedness stems from. You find that the act of altering your mind in any way is a bad thing. Did you know that physical exercise is mind-altering? Yes, in the same way that drugs are! No way!

But how about we discuss addiction? Because that exists in the video game world.

I'm not addicted to video games, so no, I have absolutely no desire to discuss that.

You're aware that you're using the internet now right?

I would really appreciate it if you would stop asking these patronizing questions.

You probably have a cell phone too.

Nope. Fuck cell phones.

But you won't. Because you like using them to a degree. Logically speaking, it's pretty damn stupid to damage yourself now isn't it? And there it is. Choice.

The pros of the Internet FAR outweigh any minute chance of radiation poisoning or whatever the fuck it is you were going on about.

The pros of smoking pot don't outweigh the cons. Unless you're stupid, of course, and you're unable to realize that altering your mind to such an extent isn't a good idea.

ey yo verb, do you consider the mind altering drug caffeine on the same caliber as marijuana?

No. I still think consuming caffeine is stupid, but relatively speaking, caffeine isn't anywhere near as potent as marijuana.

so are you against the concept of altering your mind more so than the individual effects of Psychoactive foods/drugs?

Uh, sure.

these next batch of questions may seem weird...

how many soda cans would you say you drink in a day?

I can start discussing just how much the radiation exposure effects you. Because there are a major fuck ton of verified studies that show all the wonderful avenues of damage it does to people and their systems. It's not mere simple radiation poisoning.

And I wouldn't drag the whole dodgy "end justifies the means" cop out of "the pros outweigh the cons." What exactly do you gain from the internet that you can't do through another means?

Because everything you do get from the internet can be done through another means without using the internet.

Unless, you specifically use it because it makes things simpler and easier to access which is fair. But ring that by. Using something because it's easier despite the damage done to yourself. That's almost a carbon copy of what you're arguing against. Smoking pot because it's far easier to be happy that way than doing it normally.

And again, you are right, it's not quite comparable scale wise in terms of damage. Smoking versus gradual radiation damage breakdown. But if you're going to preach in absolutes here, well, don't bother because you're essentially doing the exact same thing he is, just in a slightly different context.

how many soda cans would you say you drink in a day?

0.

Haven't drunk soda in years.

cannabis enhances this experience for me and makes it much more enjoyable.

It shouldn't. The fact that it does is pathetic. The fact that you need it just to enhance an experience that you enjoy is fucking loathsome.

It was a dumbfuck piece of shit post that deserved nothing more than complete dismissal.

Are people who are prescribed antidepressants pathetic?

Are people who are prescribed antidepressants pathetic?

No. Unless you abuse your prescription to get high.

Then you're the lowest of the low, as far as I'm concerned.

I've never experienced pleasure while exercising.

Who the fuck does?

But antidepressants are mind altering drugs. How could they possibly be acceptable?

But you don't do it for that express purpose. And at least you're actually getting something done.

Smoking pot does nothing productive at all, on top of fucking with the most important organ in your body.
How intelligent.

It helps some artists or writers to think and get a little more creative.

Then they're shitty artists and writers.

Being able to write something great while sober is far more impressive than using drugs as a crutch.

Why?

Why is using a crutch a bad thing?

Yeah not using a crutch is more impressive but using one isn't bad at all.
