blaming weed for having a shitty life is like blaming guns for killing people.
+1 I do not wish to give the impression that consumption of C. sativa guarantees the consumer is gonna be a waistoid for the rest of thier life. For *ME*, I knew it would be a distraction and a danger, since I liked it A LOT. So I obstain.
For others, EtOH does the same thing. It becomes a detriment to their lives, rather than an enhancement. I've not a few friends who use C. sativa as I and others here use EtOH, as an augment to their lives, not the focus. I think the problem lies within the individual, and the external chemical supplement only acts as a trigger, not the source of the problem.
