I tried it once in Highschool and it was a waste of time for me. Firstly why would you injest or inhale something a criminal prepared for you. Would you take candy from a stranger on the street? The pot I tried in high school was laced with PCP and being I was really clean it pretty much freaked me out being out of control for a few hours.
I never wnet near it again. I'll stick with my Beer and liquor on weekends. Actually I check myself with that too and will go a few weeks with out to make sure I am not addicted. Especially if I have been drinking a lot lately. Alcoholism runs in my family so I am careful.

Well I can honestly say, regardless of your performance, if I owned a business and you regularly did drugs, you wouldn’t work for me. Since right now I don’t own a business, that’s only theoretical. However what I can tell you, is that anyone that does that stuff every day or more than once or so a week has an addiction problem obviously, and that in turn shows a weak character. Chances are they also lack moral boundaries, and the ones that really get me are the ones that walk around with it on their sleeve, just oh so proud of it. Like 4rr as example in this case. It just goes to show you, the movies in middle school about doing it to be cool are very true. I just look down on those people, as I know chances are they are stupid and are basically a waste of skin. We need more people in this world that are driven and motivated to better themselves and better the world. Not sit around and burn your brain away and become the decay of society.

I played drums in a heavy band for about 5 years, and I think every singer and bass player we ever had was a serious pot head.
We got to practice, sat and bullshitted while we were setting up for 10 minutes then spent 20 minutes trying to track down where the singer and bass player went. Turns out they snuck off to another bands room (partitioned old industrial building in cincy) getting high.
Sometimes I wondered if they were in a band to play or be close to pot at all times and singing/playing was a bonus.
I have resented them a lot for the time they wasted and the potential that was pissed on. At one time we were talking to two different labels and still couldn't convice these guys to come to practice on time and focus once they got there.
I've done it a couple times, but I really don't like the buzz. Alcohol is cheaper, LEGAL and the right alcohol gives a better buzz. So I gave up on it.

I've known recreational drug users that got graduate degrees and nice jobs with Fortune 500 companies. It's not what you do to unwind, it's how disciplined you are with your work habits. Sure, there are people who spend their lives sitting around stoned, but then so are there people who spend the whole day in front of a computer connected to the internet. Either one is a waste of good brain cells, IMO.

Drugs are bad, mmmmmmmmmmmkay?
I did pot, it was fun for about 5 hours, then got boring. I smoked for about 4 years, and it just got boring, and I was realizing what it was doing to the other people I did it with. Some of them would sell their car to buy pot, or sell a guitar,sell other assorted things just to get drugs.
All that it will become is an addiction in the end. I smoke ciggarettes and I ******* regret the day I picked one up and tried it. I have spent GOBS of money on cigarettes, when it could've been used better.
Look at John Belushi, Lane Staley, and Brad Nowell. They all died of drugs. To be exact of heroin. But what do you think they started out with??? Yep, you are right. Pot.
All I know is, if I had a business and someone showed up high, I would fire them. Would not care? Even if they are the best worker in the world. If I worked with potheads, I would stay the **** away from them at all times.
That is my statement. Say what you want, but it stays.

Well,
A good majority of my friends started smoking in 8th grade. I hung out with them, but never smoked (well almost never...but that is beside the point)
In 11 and 12 grade, pot is all these kids live for. Its retarded. They smoke once or twice a day, before school, before practice, etc.
It gets really ******* aggravating when you have to worry about hanging out with them because they are lighting up all the time. I don’t want to smell like reef everywhere I go...
I still chill with some of them, but not so much anymore. They dont even really like having non smokers around when they light up because it "brings them down." Its hard to have them over without them asking if you can go out and light up a bowl.
Oh well. If they want to do it, that is there thing and I try not to interfere.
Oh yeah, and Pot is such a gateway drug. Mabye not for all people, but alot of former "pot only" kids are getting into some serious drugs. My old neighbor had to go into rehab at the age of 16 for coke!
