I could describe many of the drinkers I've known in my day the exact same way. More than one is no longer with us and never moved past alcohol, actually.

People with stupid haircuts, sleeve tattoos and piercings are usually associated with the lower class unless they're in the arts/entertainment. Athletics included. Other than that they're an anomaly in every other field.

A piece of advice, if I may. You probably should do your research on why pot became illegal in the first place before you start proclaiming your expertise.

The Left Has Completely Corrupted Society Turned The Nation Into Pot Heads:Shock Poll Only 14% Say Pot Should Be Illegal
The Democratic National Committee has finally seen the truth. You have to be stoned out of your mind to vote for a Democrat.
So they are acting on what they believe. They solicit the vote of stoners, students, and malcontents.
So far, so good.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if using pot led to using harder drugs in some cases because when you are using pot you are already breaking the law. You've already jumped the biggest hurdle for some people so it's a smaller leap from pot to a harder drug than it would be if pot was legal.

My point is, that they could be right about why pot is illegal, it wouldn't matter to me, because I think the pot culture is freakin' annoying. As is their insistence that if the world just smoked more doobies we'd have less problems.

I said that I personally have no problems with pot or people smoking it, and think it should be legal, but just that I find potheads and pot aficionado culture to be utterly idiotic and annoying. That's all.

As the above post shows, people are now pushing snake oil (or pot oil in this case) over science. People are having their faces eaten off. "Mothers" are throwing pot parties with their own small children. I recently watched a video of a man high on drugs who ran around naked before cutting off his own penis. Now, you guys might think that all of this is great fun, but I would rather not continue down this path.
Oh? Are you really claiming BigPharma doesn't contribute to the drug crisis by buying legislators and pushing their wares to doctors?

Because that could certainly be filed with what you allege are dumb comments.

And make the case those pills are a safer alternative for insomniacs than a few tokes and a glass of wine.

Yeah and what? Because there might be a few hipsters with sleeve tattoos working on their start up that that somehow means that most people in the upper ranks have tattoos or piercings now? Get real. I said they're still an anomaly in the upper ranks.

In sum, pot heads are ANNOYING.
I'm pro legalization but I don't smoke, and I agree there are a lot of these people and they can be extremely annoying...but after legalization they will mostly go away because there will be no more arguments to be had. You don't have people railing about how great alcohol is, do you?
