I just got in another msn arguement with some ignorant fuck. What I'm getting so tierd of is this;

"Dude I just think it's sad that the only way you have fun is when you're high."

Or

"It's pathetic that you can't have fun without weed."

Or

"Arent there better things you could do with your time that sit around and be high?"

I say fuck that. First of all, I had plenty of fun before I started smoking weed. Just as much if not more than anyone who didn't. So when I started smoking, it only made those fun things even better. And as a bonus, it took some of the not-as-cool parts of my life and helped make them better, or make me feel better about them or be able to deal with them better. But yet people say that's sad or some shit? I know they mainly mean people who's lives were shit before they started smoking, so they started smoking to kind of help deal with it. But even that is bullshit.

The way I look at it is, why can't weed be like anything else you do for recreation? Should I say it's sad that people have to skateboard to have fun? Or play video games? What's the difference? Weed is something you enjoy that's best when you don't do too much of it. Hell, it does have some risks, but so does skateboarding. If you enjoy skateboarding, acknlowedge the risks, and have fun doing it, why is that not pathetic, if smoking weed is?

I know kids who wouldn't have a damn thing going for them, failing school, etc. if it wasn't for riding a skateboard or doing something they loved like that. They'd be the first to say the only thing they had fun doing was skateboarding. But if you switch skateboarding to weed, it becomes pathetic? And I also know even more kids who have great lives but skateboarding is still the funnest and best thing to them in their lives... why can't weed be? Wether you have a great life or not and whatever your purposes for smoking are, if you enjoy doing it, why does that have to be any different, and even more important, why is it anyone else business?

Weed is my favourite part of life. I love nothing more than getting high and playing hack with a few friends or playing guitar. And people bitch that it's sad that I need weed to have fun... well apparently all they need for fun is to judge other peoples lives and what they do to live when it doesn't stand up to their so called standard. I guess they may never understand that we can all have fun sober... but a fun sober time is twice as good when you make it a fun high time.

Don't you guys agree?

(BTW; I'm not picking on skateboarding or nothing, it's just something that comes to my mind for what I was trying to say)
