(no subject)
today in my core class, this guy, usually a complete idiot and attention whore, said something actually constructive. He's the typical gutter-punk/wannabe revolutionary(so your modern democrat of the iPod generation.)
he said, he wishes he could do something about society, but the reason he can't is because drugs are too cheap. He says he hates drugs more than anyone you'd know, but that isn't enough to stop him.
Then this other guy, normally a pretty constructive speaker(Kind of like if Abe became a pothead/way too interested in Fusion music), said, "Dude, I don't think you do ENOUGH drugs. I'm so tired of this "drugs and alcohol are bad" shit. Then he goes on this rant about how pot expands his mind and shit.
It made me so angry. I'm so, so so goddamn tired of hearing that speech from someone thinking its original. First of all, drugs do not expand your mind. They alter your perception of it. If you could not logically come to the same conclusions sober that you could in an "expanded" state, you do not deserve to have that idea. If some spiritual being put pot there to be smoked, why didn't that same spiritual being simply make it a hormone of the brain? Why didn't he make it so it didn't taste so bad? Why did he make it so when it was burned, it hurt the atmosphere?
Listen. I'm one of the biggest advocates for drug use I know of, I think the War on Drugs is doing the opposite of it's objective (forcing drugs into a black market, thus making them more cheaper and easier to come by, whilst making it that much easier to get shot at while obtaining them, either by cop or disgruntled dealer, or cracked-out...crackhead.) but one of the worst things one can do is attribute spirituality to a substance. Sure, you can preach all you want about how pot isn't addictive, but...if pot is so spiritual, why do we simply not have the effects of it in our system naturally?
This is the same class of people that, when asked, "what is peace," one replied with "Drugs," in a serious manner. Everyone cheered him on, and he believed he was right.
Fuck that shit. Get high, do whatever. Just realize that when you elect that pot-legalizing world leader/uniter, you're electing the tranquilizing Stalin. It isn't a Peace pipe. It's a fucking tranquilizer. Braindead anonymity does not equal peace.
