These are my thoughts - unfortunately, someone else said them first. I won't say who but he is a genius.
A son is home from college for the holidays. He actually tried to convince us last night that Pot was good for you. "I think what you're trying to say it is less bad for you than other recreational drugs." "Do you know how much they've improved pot since you were a kid?" With a sagacious nod of the head, I said, "sure, it's more potent. However, you're still ingesting a foreign substance into you're no longer pink lungs. Pot is better than sniffing airplane glue, shooting street heroin, or snorting elephant tranquilizers, but I wouldn't call it healthy. You're not talking to someone with chaste ears, I've been around plenty. I know people that've been smoking weed for fifty years and they all have one thing in common - a passive acceptance of life. If you feel the need to be tranquilized in order to survive, by all means smoke all the weed you can, but please don't call it healthy. Personally, I've never understood the allure of sitting with a group of brain-dead losers passing a saliva soaked cigarette around and acting stupid, I'd rather sit in a proper drinking establishment discussing politics, sports, or pursuing audacious strumpets, but that's just me."
