Weed and Alcohol

Never complain that cannabis is legal and available. It should be everywhere; /for adults/. Instead, complain that you lack self-control… and then realize that the solution is to “grow up” and learn to take responsibility for your own actions and choices, and be accountable for yourself… to yourself… whatever.

I realize you’re young and distraught, and don’t want to hear “grow up,” but that’s the truth. Learn self-control, and stop blaming the weed. The weed isn’t “making you” smoke it. I realize how hard it is to refuse, as a long-term cannabis enthusiast myself… and i realize that the only real reasons you should have to refuse, are employment related drug tests, and whatever various laws are imposed upon you. It’s an enjoyable thing whose benefits far outweigh its detriments, but you still have to learn to control yourself, and you can’t just be high all the time. Don’t be “stoner stupid.” Be responsible and practice moderation.

Saying “i want to die because i’m ‘addicted to weed’ ” is about the most absurd, childish, whiny, irresponsible thing i’ve heard. Maybe you’re still too young to handle it appropriately. We should all have “the right” to choose to use cannabis without oppression… but you should still treat it like a privilege, not to be abused.

Imagine if you didn’t live somewhere awesome like Washington. Realize how lucky you are to be there, instead of elsewhere, instead of being upset about having “too available” something that people in other places can’t even get, and have mandatory minimums for first offenses.

“How terrible” it must be, to live in Seattle.
