Always makes me wonder if weed will ever be accepted in our society like alcohol is?
I hope so. We are wasting way too much money on the Mexican border dealing with this drug when it clearly is no worse than alcohol.
I hope not.
We need to move away from "social norms" like weed, alcohol, abuse of prescription drugs, etc.
These things tend to cause people more problems than they are worth, from my experience.
Prohibition tends to cause more problems than it is worth.
I don't recall this thread being about prohibition.
I recall the topic was "social norm".

It's shameful that we are accepting drug use as social norm. Thus proves that our society is degenerating. Keep it illegal and discourage it, not encourage and paint weed as "normal."

What is degenerate about weed?
What is degenerate about weed?
Essentially the same things which are degenerate about smoking, drinking, whimsical tattoos, cutting class, etc: The behavior isn't justified with a viable use.
The same thing that's degenerate about other drugs that so many people use, like caffeine. Nothing.
Some folks are just more uppity about their chosen drugs.
That's the great thing about America: it is not up to you to decide this for me.
Sounds like you have a few tats?

No, I will never ever get a tat. Or wear an earring or other piercings. I am wearing God's skin, man. But I will smoke a big ole blunt in his honor.
Ahh there it is.
There was a famous study don a few years back by a professor who had tattoos. He wanted to prove that the stereotype of folks with tattoos, who binge drink, smoke pot, etc, was false.
Much to his surprise, his own research validated the stereotype. Various "deviant" behaviors are associated with each-other by a common personality type which seeks them out.
So you're right, I don't get to decide these things for you, but you don't get to decide these things for you either. There are predictable behavioral trends and this is one of them.
