I consur. It is bullshit. Anti-pot propoganda if you ask me.
I know MANY "thinkers" either have or do smoke pot. These are people who
have no difficulty retaining memory, including facts and emotional
impressions. Some of them are well educated and currently educating YOUR
children. Some are in control of dangerous equipment (and don't smoke while
using it -- and I'm talking Nuclear reactors here). There is such a thing
as USE, and another as ABUSE.
ANYTHING can be abused. Pot, if used properly, can provide stimulating and
enriching experiences to an individual's life. I'm not going to get into an
argument/debate about the pro & cons of pot smoking, but dmanit, don't
blanket write-off Jules/Tom/anyone because they bothered to inhale, and
admit it.
Cheers,
JJ "Jester"
