Life is full of dissapointments. But I don't feel you shoud be dissappointed in me. Our common friend that we were both worried about that night n that i promised you I would call is an abuser of a very hardcore drug. I promised I would call not just for you but for me as well becaue I love this guy like a bro. So yes, I talked to him about it. I do not feel like a hypocrite for smoking marijuana because I do not believe marijuana to be as horrible as cocaine. Sure, if one abuses marijuana ot the extent it does nothing for them anymore, it may act as a gateway drug to something such as cocaine or acid or whatever. But, I trust my ability to use marijuana in moderation. I have for a little over a year now and have not increased my overall frequency in usage. I know that if I use it more than a couple instances a month it causes negative effects on me and I do not enjoy it as much.
Native Americans used marijuana in rituals. They were very spiritually balanced people who were able to limit their use to special occasions. I do not claim to be as spiritually balanced as a culture who was raised that way in a completely different environment or anywhere near for that matter, but I understand that it is possible for me to reach that point some day. I will be criticized for my very liberal beliefs abotu weed. I just hope I have not alienated friends this way. But, I am not going to keep it to myself.
