Hard to take an adult seriously who gets high like some stoner in high school.

Never got stoned in high school but when I get stoned now most of the things I do during that time are more intellectual things (like I said before; great movies and literature) and the conversations I have are about more abstract topics and are more complex.  Just because you have an idea of what something is, doesn't mean it's your idea is right.  Just because you associate any illegal drug with being bad, doesn't mean it is.  

Weed is something fun I can do in my leisure time, as is going to the dance studio or horseback riding for me.  For some people it's getting drunk or playing sports or gambling or whatever.  This is a very frustrating topic for me and I do not understand the acceptance of alcohol on this board from so many people with strong anti-pot opinions.  

Not everyone smokes because they're a bored teenager that only wants to sit around and play video games all day.
