Drugs have changed my life for the better. Sure, some of them are bad (meth, heroin, crack, shrooms, pcp), and you should never touch those.
I've experimented with almost every other drug, with no personal negative effects, only positive. I quit about 3 months ago for that special someone. If you know what your doing, drugs really arnt all that bad. If you can give me a reason why they are bad for you besides addiction and no money in your pocket (which only happens to the irresponsible ones) I will contradict you. Have an argument on brain damage? I will contradict you.
Sure you can go to jail for them, but only if your stupid enough to get caught. I never have and i've been doing them for 4 years. The ONLY reason why marijuana is illegal is the government cant make money off of it and they are to stupid to figure out how they can. Cigarettes are legal because they can. It takes 3 years to grow the tobacco to have the nicotine form on it. Nobody is going to wait 3 years to make 1 cigar. Marijuana? 6 weeks. The government will think we will decide "Why buy when we can grow?"
