Weed is "just a plant" I don't understand why people make such a big deal out of it. How many times to you see on the news that someone got in a car accident and killed somene because they were high. You don't ! Cause you drive slow and safe when your high. Alcohol on the other hand makes you fast and crazy but there's a commercial on tv every 30 seconds. It makes no sense . And as far as losing brain cells and making your stupid. I know a couple kids who are damn near geniuses and they smoke pot like crazy. The kid has been smoking since he was 15 and he got a 31 on his act and got a four year degree with like a 3.9 gpa. I don't think people realize how much of society actually smokes weed. Its not just rappers and gangstas. Its bussinessmen and women, parents, teenagers, old people, star athletes, celebrities and the list goes on and on. And it doesn't seem to be having much of a negative affect from what I see. Besides the stupid as$ government cracking down and busting people so they can look like they are doing something when they need to be worrying about much more important things. Believe me, I am just as pissed at Ricky as anyone else but him saying he smokes pot has nothing to do with it. I'm sure its not going to make all the little kids go out a buy ounce of some bud because Ricky does it. They've probably been smokin since they accidentally stumbled on to mommy and daddy's stash under the bed anyways. Be realistic here people, you sound naive.
