No, no, no dearheart. You are a very tall, fuzzy pink and cuddly 'doper'. Let's not shred our self esteem now, shall we?

No, it isn't. (sigh)

I know that MBE has mentioned he's had issues in his lifetime with substances, so it may be that  this is a very sensitive topic for him. But I don't take kindly to the typed equivalent of an angry and inaccurate name-calling. He must be having one hell of a bad day today and is taking it out on us for some reason.

Hell no! Give em Ritalin and Paxil instead!

My brother and I have been smoking weed since we were 14, and I can't say that it has done us any harm.

I actually think more damage is done through teens by the huge amount that they drink.

I completely missed that part of the article where she encourages them to smoke weed?  Smoking pot in High School that's just crazy.

Whoa there! Hang on a second.
Smoking pot is one thing. Encouraging children to do it is quite another. I don't recall ever encouraging kids to do any type of drug.
Be careful where you wave that tar-covered brush.

...sick and pathetic is a legal system that saddles children w/a criminal record for a few plants before they are even old enough to vote and I don't want friends that support THAT...

...look at all the pathetic dopers...better off if they had been like the success story that is  MBE...

The last thing I want or need is 'friends' who support encouraging children to take drugs. That's sick and pathetic. Period.
