there is no argument, there hasn't been for a long time: marijuana is psychologically addictive.

My question to most people is so the fuck what? People seem to have this constant ideological belief that chemically induced states of mind are somehow "less real" "less important" etc. than sober states of mind. They believe that being reclusive is a sign of social unleathiness and so forth. But it's that person's right to choose and here's the big possible realization most people miss out on: "Maybe societal progress doesn't require cold sober attitudes" I mean, just look where alcohol drinking, tobacco smoking white-collar Americans have gotten us: into the shitter. Those attitudes are so negative, there is no way that man can progress much further without some positive attitudes that are based on non-violent, non-progessionist beliefs.

In Harper Lee's, "To Kill a Mockingbird", the character of an old spinster who has been an addict to opium her entire life finally breaks the addiction and dies without any euphoria. This is a powerful message that tends to lean against addiction as being something that enslaves you, but this, again, is propaganda.

No one on Earth truly knows whether or not man was MEANT to be in any state of mind all the time. Even if one were to say, God, Nature, or whatever force in the universe designed man in such a way so as to not be "high" all the time, this DOESN'T mean that being constantly high is a bad choice.

Again, I must refer you all to Alan Moore, comic book writer. Famous fucking pothead, lives off in the middle of the forests of Great Britain, smoking British dank all fucking day long writing perhaps some of the BEST and most insightful humanitarian work of this century. While I agree with the belief that no one who doesn't want to do pot should ever be forced to, I have to say that I adamantly believe it has the potential to solve alot of sociological problems that exist within enclosed social circles.

EDIT: These people who go to those Marijuana Anonymous Shit that truly BELIEVE that they need help probably do for other reasons that are reflected by their marijuana use. But this doesn't mean that people who smoke pot daily ALL have some sort of problem, it's more along the lines that some people can't handle to delve that deep into themselves and fucking DEAL with it. DEAL with the fact that you're high, you CAN still function, and if you can' t, then lay off so you can get shit done. If you don't have this sense of decency towards yourself, then you are just like those alcoholics and opium addicts, and this has to STOP. You stand and represent a part of the marijuana community and therefore you must represent stoners ACCORDINGLY so that marijuana can be further and better represented as a benign and hopefully, one day, a beneficial part of societal progression. This means being able to function high and knowing when to not smoke too much.
