Decriminalizing marijuana - Page 3

Sween · 10-10-2002, 09:37 AM

i fully respect someone that has made a descision not to do things like drink and drugs. They are not only a good way to harm yourself but ive never found a quicker way to lose money (maybe marridge will solve that

).

How old are you though? I mean it wasnt till i was 13 and was encoraged to go out drinking by my family (perenting today) that i took it up as a past time. Its allright saying that now but if you dont drink you miss out on a lot of life. I know medical students they are right up there in terms of drinking.

Drugs and alchol can bring so much plesure if used in modiration

Well drinking is big at the school I go to so I understand the feeling. My view is if you're moderate then it won't do great harm. But my friends (and for that me matter I've) done dumb things while drinking.

ermmmmm no not yet at any rate

. Do you know how much those things cost?

Lizra · 10-10-2002, 03:37 PM

Those things? Weddings? No, not really, my husband and I eloped. We are both too frugal to spend all that money so a bunch of our so called "friends"

can get drunk and waste a lot of food. I'd rather buy furniture! I was so nervous standing in the clerk's office in Nashville Indiana, that I can't even imagine doing a big wedding! I'd puke for sure! Then start crying!

.

Anyway bk to topic go on make it legal

Renille · 10-10-2002, 09:55 PM

No, DON'T make it legal!

Thanks, everyone, for your support. I have been asked such questions as, "Haven't you EVER drunk anything?? Everyone has."

To which I am forced to mumble...no.

Sween , to answer your question, I am turning 16 in exactly 19 days! Can't wait. But that has nothing to do with anything.

Hah! I know how that's like. I had several likewise encounters with other students. Then they just stare at you for a few minutes like they're not sure that you actually said aloud that you don't drink alcohol. Then they take another sip of their beer and say 'Well whatever makes you happy.'

Me too! When I gave up cigarettes I was so depressed by the prospect of never smoking a barry tab again that I promised myself that I'd take it on my 75th birthday (if I make it that far). It seems to be working so far (5 months and counting).

Back to topic, don't you think that drugs (legal and illegal, and the various mechanisms of getting off your face, have always had a place in society and always will? It's an important life-lesson if you can learn how to deal with them. But the best thing is if that doesn't involve total abstinence.

While abstinence might work for some, it's not realistic for many or most.

Millane · 10-11-2002, 06:40 AM

ohhh renille i thought you were at uni or summit... now that i know you are only 15 it doesnt really surprise me that you havnt ever drunk anything... but everyone that i know who is 16 has had a drink before it just seems so strange to me ohhh i dont know why...

Okay, now will someone please explain why "summit" and "summet" is used instead of "something"? Aaaaaarrrrgh!!!!

It's almost as bad as CaNdY!

markedel · 10-11-2002, 10:06 AM

Abstinence is a good thing, and besides at 15 I hadn't drank yet. Then the downward spiral begins...

Or as Queen's university puts it-frosh think they're alcoholics-3rd years know they're alcoholics.

Sween · 10-11-2002, 10:10 AM

No one can avoid the drink. It takes us all. and you say this as a plan to go to uni what about when you get there. theres no chance you can avoid been stupid and drunk there

god i wish i was clever enough to go

I managed to avoid it for 4 years of college in a row though

The being drunk I mean, not the being stupid (unfortunately).

Wayfarer · 10-11-2002, 01:33 PM

I've avoided both this far... ]: )

here's one way to avoid it: go to a dry university. Our big bash every year is the rootbeer kegger.

Wayfarer · 10-11-2002, 01:40 PM

I know people who are addicted to caffine.. one or two of them have actually gone into withdrawel after a few days without.

Incidentally, did you know that animal tests indicate that marijuana is less hallucinogenic than caffeine?

yes, I know people l like that, too. which is why I drink tea. non-caffeine. (that way, when mid-terms roll around, a smaller dose of caffiene will have a greater effect

)
