Edit: I know that because the guy who greeted us for signing up told us to leave right away if we ever did drugs and informed us of different types and how long they stay.

I never touched anything stronger then weed, im crazy not stupid. Coke/Crack, heroin, scrooms pills ect ect fuck them. Expensive and not worth it. As for weed it leaves your system in 1-2 months most the time. Or you can buy detox but military tests show that up, job site tests wont.

Actually, a lot more people commit crimes while drunk than while high. People who are drunk tend to have lapses in judgment. People high on weed tend to just stare at shit and act mellow.
That isn't to say that there aren't drugs that cause crimes. This is why I'm pretty set against drugs like cocaine, acid, heroine etc, but not against marijuana. Weed is, IMO, a drug that is way overrated. You're much more likely to die from alcohol poisoning than you are to die from smoking weed. The effects of alcohol tend to produce more dangerous behaviors than weed. Yet alcohol is legal and if you're caught with even a small amount of weed on your person you are looking at jail time. Whats the problem here? We have way too many kids who got caught with a nickle bag and a bowl on their person being punished and not enough attention being paid to the people who are totally destroying their minds and bodies with stuff like heroine. That, and it bugs me how our first course of action is to hit them with PUNISHMENT, instead of HELP. Most drug addicts need treatment, not prison time. I know a kid who got caught smoking up and spent weeks in jail. After he got out, first thing he did was go and smoke up again. Its NOT solving the problem. Coincidentally, I had this whole discussion with my father this morning, and he agreed. My dad used to be a hippie (and still wears his hair long as a result) and has seen the problem first hand. It started when I pointed out a newspaper article that told about a black guy who had been badly injured but denied pain medications because the predjudiced doctors feared he'd sell it on the street. So, daily, he suffers through crippling pain because of the fear that he might sell it to somebody. Whats the real danger in taking such a risk? Shouldn't we put compassion on the part of our fellow man before paranoia that somebody somewhere might be getting high off of his pain medication? Christ, whats this world coming to when we deny people the medication they need because of our fear of it falling into the hands of some teenage kid looking for a fix? I just see it as a huge hypocrisy that alcohol, which is a drug that causes many more deaths than most other illegal drugs combined is legal, while they aren't. Granted, it can be used in moderation and responsibly, but then so can marijuana. "Hard" drugs with highly addictive properties have a tendancy to push their user into more dangerous levels of abuse, and certainly need to be controlled, but I don't think marijuana falls into that category, and shouldn't be treated in such a heavy-handed manner by our judiciary. So, theres my opinion, though I doubt any of you bothered to read it all (or cared). It just bugs me how people can either say "DRUGS ARE BAD" or "OMG DRUGS ARE KEWL" because theres different types and its not as black and white as you might think.

You make some good points EF .. and I agree with the majority of 'em.
My thoughts on the topic: If you want to toke weed once in a while, that's your thing, just don't bring it on me. If it's all you can think of, then you need to reconsider your priorities and most likely our relationship. I look on alcohol in the same way. As for the harder drugs and prescription theives, good luck with what little life you lead. That stuff steals more of your life than you'll realize before it's too late. If you're lucky, you may even make it out alive. Good luck .. you'll need it. /side note: It's actually about 50-50 for crimes committed involving alcohol and drugs. Many involve drugs in some way, either for money to get them, or while under the influence. Some folks are just plain stupid and get in trouble with no help what so ever. Here's an example .. This past weekend at work while I was off: Drug Money Seizure

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a pothead, nor do I condone the use of illegal drugs, but for lightweight drugs like marijuana I just don't get why the law has to be so heavy handed. To be honest, if marijuana was legal and it sale controlled similarly to alcohol, I think there would be a lot less drug-related crimes simply because there wouldn't be anything to fight over. After all, look at how the Netherlands handles the use of marijuana. Its use is surprisingly well-handled and responsible over there, and I don't see any reason why the US couldn't pull it off in much the same way. In fact, I think it could solve a lot of problems.
