“Are you against drugs?” Well if that popped into your mind, the answer is no. Let’s get on with it, eh?
Now, Mary Jane isn’t going to kill you, it won’t make you kill your parrents and it is unlikely you’re going to develop any kind of chronical adiction to it. It’s easy to get and it’s natural, so no nasty side-effects like loosing your teeth and looking like you’re 70 when in fact you’re 25. So it seems to be the best thing that ever happened to you, right? It can be… if you’re content with second-hand solutions. My view on this is eminently practical before anything else.
Do I smoke weed? No. Not because there’s a law somewhere that says “Don’t”. There have always been laws with flimzy justifications. The reason why I recomend that people shouldn’t do it is because there’s no need to. Let me show you what I mean. People take it in order to relax. Nothing else. It does a fantastic job in removing stress (and if you’ve taken some, you know exactly what I mean 
) It’s also a good way of socializing; if you want some, you 1) need to know people who can supply you with it and 2) get together with fellow-somkers and have a barrel of laughs while you start seeing all sorts of things. Let me tell you, from floating on air to chasing monkeys you’ll have the entire spectrum of trips. And it’s fun while it lasts, too.
But it doesn’t last… and when you’re done and have no more joints, you’re back to your usual self, boared out of your skull, begging existence for something interesting to drag you out of a long-lasting quasi-permanent lethargy. That’s why I said it’s a 2nd-hand solution. It’s like closing your eyes and hoping all your troubles will go away when you open them again; of course, you only end up being dissapointed by the fact that everything you hoped to get away from is still there, smiling back at you with a sickeneng grin that would drive you mad if it weren’t for that dizzy brain of your that still hasn’t sobered up completely.
So, in the end, you’ve done practically nothing. Yes, you’ve had your fun. But now what? Get more? That would be nice, but if you run your hands through your pockets, you’ll notice a distinct lack of cash… That’s the way the cookie crumbles… You see, that’s the point: all weed does is make you weak. Every time you have a problem, you feel the need to smoke. Naturally, not everyone does this. Most people are capable of enough self-discipline that they only smoke once in a while, with no negative consequences whatsoever. But if that’s possible, why not take it a step further? Why not learn to find happiness without holding hands with Lady Mary? I’m telling you, that’s the best gift you could ever give yourself.
“How do I do that?”
It’s a rather simple answer, despite the fact that the question appears complicated. Stop taking life so seriously. Ever since we’re little kids we’re taught to think of everything as serious; everything around us is “adult buisness”. Do you remember that phrase? “This is stuff for grown-ups”… But what do people actually do? They play adult games. You played with toys; they play with money. You wanted a bike; they want a high social status. You asked for food; they ask for power. And it’s all serious. VERY serious, they tell you. Of course, most of us only dream of wealth, power and whatever else. We’re told we need all those thing, but we don’t have them. That makes us boared, frustrated, sad… We’re told that the only thing that can make us content is something…”interesting”. But you need a whole lot of money to make something “interesting” happen. The sooner you get those ideas out of your head and de-socialize your neurons, the sooner you will find out how interesting life already is.
Did you ever notice that little children almost never get boared? Because, to them, everything is new, fresh and full of significance. We, on the other hand, “mature” and “wise” as we are, have gone beyond such childish delusions. “It’s just food”, “just someone else laughing with his friends”, “just a walk in the park” etc. We’ve seen it all before. Nothing new. Same old boaring story with nothing special happening. It’s just life, right? Nope. It’s not just life, it’s everything you need. We are taught to ignore 75% of what goes on everyday and dismiss it as “unimportant” or “irelevant”. but it’s not really like that.
Learn to take a fresh look at the world… You’ll never need weed again, but you’ll still be smiling; and you’ll be doing it on your own two feet, free of charge!
Yours,
Victor

a contradiction to your phrase ” So, in the end, you’ve done practically nothing. ” If I spent my money on weed ( of course I would never do that because I don’t smoke…. all the time), that doesn’t mean those money are not well spent.
People buy coffee from starbucks when they can buy a cheaper and good coffee from somewhere else, they buy good juice such as fanta or sprite which it costs more than a 2 lei juice let’s say that can also get you satisfied, people buy from chips and twinkies to expensive cars and huge houses (only if they only needed a smaller one) which those can be accomplished much cheaper, but here’s the point, if people buy cigarettes that can also kill you (in a … way ) I would buy mj. (not michael jackson, weed
)
The point is that every song you hear, sounds totaly different, every thought you have is highly centered on something and so on when running on weed.
It makes you laugh, of course, you can say some jokes that you will laugh about and remember them next time when you’re sober and don’t even know about what was funny in that joke. There are lots of things.
That’s why I like and that’s why I’ll never say “why the f. did I gave those money to buy smoking things?’ There’s one thing I can say, you can say this to those who are smoking everyday and know no more about separation between reality and…the other world.

I also said: “Most people are capable of enough self-discipline that they only smoke once in a while, with no negative consequences whatsoever.” I’m glad you fit in that category…
