wow..i dont understand people who do drugs. they are illegal. thats breaking the law..simple as that.
do you guys honestly have nothing better to do than drugs? seriously, drink whatever but drugs can really mess you up. I thought Vanessa fans were smarter than that.
It is breaking the law every time someone in LA or NYC talks on their cell phone while driving. It is breaking the law every time someone under 21 has even a sip of alcohol. It is breaking the law when high schoolers smoke cigarettes. Downloading an mp3. Using someone else's wifi without their permission. And smoking pot.
These things happen ALL the time, but I don't see anyone freaking out over people talking on their cellphones. I am 20 years old and a six-pack of beer in my fridge. Does anyone want to lecture me, please?
And no, I have nothing better to do than drugs. I'm also stupid. I certainly am not on the brink of graduating college and attending cooking school. I don't manage a restaurant or hang out with friends and take care of my hamster. I just sit around and smoke pot all day long because if you smoke pot, it automatically means you're a stoner and you spend all your time doing it :roll:
Actually, someone did freak the fuck out on me for talking on my phone once, and I'll admit that some people probably shouldn't do it. My grandmother, for example, can't do
anything else while talking on the phone; it's like she's in a different world. But I digress.
There are a lot of laws about some really little things. There's now a law in Tennessee that says you can't smoke in a restaurant. But when someone lights up, that doesn't make them a criminal. It's when they get mad and punch the waiter who comes by and asks them to put it out that it escalates to that.
I think a lot of the little laws are there just to try to keep things from escalating. Someone talking on a phone might run over someone. Someone drunk might do the same if they drive. Someone on drugs may kill someone or themselves because their judgement and mental state are altered. But most people who smoke pot don't escalate do other things. Many do, sure, but most don't, at least not most that I've known, and I've known quite a few. Hell, even I've helped burn a couple down in my day.
But there is really nothing wrong with just being drunk or talking on a phone or smoking a little something. Other people are just worried, and in many cases rightly so, that something bad could be prevented by making rules against it.
Really, though, you can't honestly believe that smoking a little pot is as bad as being addicted to cocaine because drugs are drugs and breaking the law is breaking the law. That would be putting so much faith in something put together by so many different people in different places at different times for different reasons that you could never really know what it is you're trying to be true to.
My point is that some things are not worth getting upset over and you should neither criticize someone else for what they do nor should you be preoccupied with others' criticism of you. No one is perfect and no one person anywhere, regardless of who they are or how much you believe in them, is ever going to be 100% worthy of serving as a role model.
