Yeah, but I find it useful to concede to the anti-drug people the fact that pot, chocolate, alcohol, and heroin only differ in degree, not qualitatively. Face it: hard-core potheads get lazy and stupid. Of course they're not the *same*, but it helps to counterargue exactly what you're worried about: the slippery slope, if you go ahead and concede that abusing any substance (pot in particular) is harmful. The only drug I feel is qualitatively different is crack. I have seen friends end up on the street because of it. As far as I'm concerned, if you've done it once, I still love you but you are a totally failed and useless human being from that point until the day you die. It just totally fucks up your brain chemistry. Meth is almost as bad. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
