While I agree that Cannabis is addictive comparing it too Heroin is ridiculous. Cannabis is addictive but much less so than smoking or anything like that and that is why it leads people to believe it is not addictive.
I didn't actually compare heroin and cannabis, I did compare Tv, six, Games etc.
I know heroin is a lot worse to fall into, I was merely wanting to see if Shadow thought it wasn't addictive also.
I'm not going to argue with you that drugs are bad, but people respond differently to them. I've met a very diverse group of people who smoke pot, and having this sort of prejudice against such a large number of people is naive. By your standards, the majority of drivers are scum because they speed and do it again, despite the punishment, or run a stop sign, etc.
I've been around junkies and alkies the majority of my life, feck I live in Glasgow my school was beside a home for them all, some of my friends have turned to it - some recovered and others haven't. It's not naive at all, if said junkie wanted to turn their life around and branched out to me, I would honestly give them a backing but when one turns round and says the punishment was actually encouragement. I no part of my life will I ever accept giving that person my help.
People speed for different reasons, boy racers, people jumping red lights, and hit-n-run motorists are to me then scum. If a father-to-be if speeding to get his wife/girlfriend to hospital so she can give birth then I view that somewhat acceptable because the reason for it is solid and without criminal intent.
