I have tried to educate them, but they are insistent on believing the propaganda.

@blargh2blargh your outlook is probably more realistic at this point, but conceptually building a civilization from the ground up it would be possible for even meth to be done recreationally. thats what i choose to believe anyway, i tend to put a lot more hope into the power of mankind than most people.

@KottonmouthSoldiers

wow, the legalization of all drugs, it's not very often i come across a person like you. I don't necessarily support drug USE in all forms, as meth really fucks you up, but it should be a right of the people to do whatever they want to their own bodies in the privacy of their own home, and to stop the crime and murders that surround the black market.

your brain is still devolping through the age of 21-24.... thats why alchohol is only legal from the age of 21, because thats when MOST people stop devolping...

smoking, weed or otherwise... doing any kind of drug befor youre 21 will change the way your brain developes... and thats NOT necessarily a bad thing either.

i support drug use, in all forms... i think having victimless crimes is more a dictatorship than a democracy...

13 in far too early to be smoking. Your brain is still developing. 16-18 is a far better age

Im 13 and when i smoked not a lot but a little bit of weed, my performance in school actually improved, and i agree with SameBrian on everything he says, i started feeling relaxed and i actually started doing my work.

Marijuana is a psychadelic/hallucinogen, although very few people actually hallucinate when smoking it. The paranoia related to mushrooms/LSD/MDMA(yes, it is sort of a psychadelic) is also common with marijuana use.

You should look up these things on Erowid, which has a fast library of information/experiences about lots of different drugs and herbs, as well as lots of general mind/body stuff.
