you're using the internet right now. QUIT ABUSING THE INTERNET OMG
last time i checked the internet is not a chemical substance I put into my body to get high.
Do you drink energy drinks for energy or coffee or energy? Is it wrong if people do? What about drinking alcohol? Is that bad? What about sleeping pills to sleep or pain pills to get rid of pain? None of what I mentioned is bad, it's only bad when a person uses it to a point that it negatively affects their life and the people around them. It's all the same idea, only difference is the that it is against the law, and slowly, state by state, that is being reversed because people see no need for that.
if you are using it to get high, then it negatively affects everyone around you.
lolwut?
Propaganda bullshit.
And the term 'high' is getting used negatively here, just because it's something that is illegal because the government is retarded (and thankfully we are on the very very slow trend towards legality).
It's harmless, and for public use would need to have mandated usage terms/bans.
But regardless. When you drink to feel the effects of alcohol, you are 'getting high'. When you smoke tobacco, you are 'getting high'.
The term getting high is only a reference to the feelings of extreme consumption of some real quality product. If moderated, much like alcohol or tobacco consumption, or any other chemical, it is far from problematic and won't interfere with anything. Take it to the limits, and what you get is someone who is far too incapacitated to even want to move, thus they just become sloth until their high is over. No danger to anyone. Anything less than that, if they can move, they are fine unless they have never been high before.
So to recap, getting high is far from an offense. It's equal to getting drunk or getting really buzzed off of nicotine if you go that route (and basically gotta be new to it). So look at it this way: when you use a product to feel its effects, you are thus seeking the 'altered state' due to the chemical in question. Being drunk is FAR FAR more dangerous, to everyone including yourself, when compared to being high from weed.
If you try and say otherwise, you are a fool who needs to take his direct anti-drug propaganda wire feed and smash it up. Wake up and realize that many drugs are far less harmful when done appropriately, especially in comparison to the very common and accepted alcohol use.
