It has become quite clear to me that there are different beliefs when it comes to marijuana however I feel that some are more persistent than others. While a blog post is good for getting out your feelings I feel that some decide to bash others. I feel as though there is no reason to call people a “self-centered genre of people” simply for the fact that they smoke weed. Whether or not you agree upon something is your opinion but I have found that calling people names and stereotyping people who smoke weed is something that is not necessary. You tell me a direct death from marijuana and I will show you someone who medically benefits from it. While there are many people who use the drug for purposes other than medical, their choices are theirs alone and they should not be put to shame, stereotyped, or name called for doing so. When writing a blog post about something like this you must be very careful of who you insult because some of them may be close friends and relatives of the people who read your blog. Take a look around, most of the people you sit next to have tried marijuana, and if not, they may have tried cigarettes or alcohol. Tell me why it is that you find it ok to persecute them for their choices when undoubtedly you’ve made mistakes of your own. There are many facts that go along with marijuana and there are many sides that one can take however everyone must learn to coincide with each other in this world we call home. I’m not someone who wants world peace, because I realize that it is impossible, however calling names and stereotyping are not right. You tell me if you think that it’s ok to see someone on the street who is mentally retarded, or who is disabled, or who has cancer and laugh at them. These reactions to people who have other choices than your own, or are different from you in some way, do not deserve your judgement. People who smoke weed may be “self-centered genre of people” but what does that say about the person who names them that? Which world do you think it’s worse to live in, a world with people who are judgemental like you, or a world with people who smoke weed and never bother anyone? You decide.

well,

Honestly, a lecture on why “I” am wrong in denouncing the usage of marjiuana is not what this case calls for. My objective is not to offend or judge anyone who does so; hell, I have close friends who do it to excess. How could I outcast the people I hold dear? However, the message that it has been harmful and ruined countless lives is a proven fact. So whether I am a hypocrite or not is besides the point.

-my style of writing is blunt and more so when juxtaposed with good writers like Tiffany. As a result, Fervent repudiating, as opposed to lackluster pandering, is needed to prove any point.
No one is judging…I’m not perfect
