WHAT is it with men and cannibis??? I really want to know why it is so intriguing to them! I'm all for legalizing it just so that my fucking pothead friends won't have anything to do anymore, and it would keep the blue-collar plebean slobs from making a fortune by selling it to all these little boys in their early and mid 20's! If it were legal, educated people with MBA's and representing the corporate sector would be the ones regulating and managing it's sale and consumption, making it no longer lucrative to the rebel youth!
But seriously... why do men worship the stuff??? True, I have done it countless times. However, I have never felt the need to go out and buy it (I never tried it until two weeks before graduating from college, and it was with this idiot I was dating at the time). And every time I do it, it's because the men around me are also smoking it. I swear: it's like a religion for them. Are their bonds of friendship so weak that they need marijuana as their intrapersonal adhevsive?
With girls (at least most girls of my generation), it's a totally different effect. For us, drinking is fun: it makes us let lose and do things we are usually reserved about (though I myself don't need alcohol to be bold: I drink for the simple pleasures of enjoying the taste of a good drink/beer/shot/wine). Marijuana, on the other hand, just makes us quiet and sleepy. It shuts down our inherent fine-tuned communication skills and disorients us. Sure, we'll take a hit here and there if it's available at say a party or something, but we don't need require it to leave the womb-like confines of our homes like guys do! How many times have boys told me "I'll be there soon, but let me get high and drink first!" "I cna't go to class without being high!" "Lunch time! Let me get my bowl!"... GAHHH!!! IT'S TAKEN OVER MY GENERATION!!! IT'S A NEW FORM OF MACHISMO!
It's getting *SO* annoying! Whenever I go out with Mr. War and his male friends, they take an ETERNITY because they can't leave the house sober! It really is childish and pathetic!
Do they EVER grow out of this???
