I knew Khizer Sherazi, he was a POT HEAD. I mean, straight up POT HEAD. I'm just glad someone like him is in jail. He deserves it.

i feel unsecure now...==
And American potheads like to drive around in marijuana smoke-filled cars, stopping at drive-thrus to order $60 worth of food per person and then hitting little girls riding by on bicycles on the way out. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Murder, I hate it. Its one of the things about Humanity that I hate the most. The sad thing is, we will never be able to stop it, no matter how advanced we become, its natural for us...v v *is in depressed funk*

no that was a real commercial.. chapelle show made it funny... those truth commercials are **** anyway.. pay no attention to them...
Seriously though, what kind of guy was he? I feel the need to defend my 'pot head' friends but it occurs to me that my mental image of what a pot head is may differ greatly from your own...
<b>Merkaba</b>, I only agree...
Chapelle didn't have to make it funny. When I saw the real commerical in a movie theatre, I started laughing very loud when the kid got hit. Heh. I thought it was funny. My friend laughed too.
The rest of the theatre was completely silent though. We got funny looks. heh.

As someone with a lot of friends that burn grass I can say that's pretty much true except for the hitting on little girls part. The food is also usually delivery, not drive-thru.
I should add that there is more than one kind of weed user. Most are really just regular guys. The guy that runs the convienience store across the street, your favorite teacher, the network admin - all of them completely ****ed up and happy. That's not to say that there are bad apples. I've met some really shady folks that smoke up, but that's usually the least of their issues.
Anyways, back on topic:
Sucks that your family has to go through this sort of thing man. It's always tough on everyone else when a family member does something horrible like this. Best wishes to you and your family.
whilst pot is harmless, its stil a drug..
imo, people who take drugs are worse then scum. i think its disgusting. and anyone who does it doesnt deserve to be alive. its just **** on the life they have been given.
im not religious. or anything.. just dont drink/smoke/take drugs. never saw the point in drinking/smoking, but drugs? what the hell is the point
'to relax' **** that get a hobby
'my life is stressful' christ man, welcome to adult life.
'boohoo my wife ran off with my brother, stole my farm and my dog <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->' you.. you can go ahead.
nonetheless... drugs suck. as does anyone stupid enough to engage in them

#1, pot is NOT drug. It is an HERB!
#2, True about people being scums because they don't know how badly they are throwing their lives away.
#3, What's the point? Relaxation, peer pressure, over coming a challenge.
#4, Drugs DO suck, but how people abuse them and use them in the wrong ways is what kills them. I've smoked pot and I've been off of it for about a month now. Drugs are used as "enhancers" for your mid life crisis, your break up, your family death, etc. It's your friend away from your soul. But the highest I've ever gotten was pot. I'm not going any higher.
#5, Your body = your shell. Your soul = You.
Actually, if used properly, drugs can be an enhancement to life. Personally, I'd love to try LSD and have hallucinations once in a while. You can really learn a lot about yourself and the world around you. If it weren't for drugs, a lot of the books you read, music you listen to, art you look at, etc... wouldn't exist. Drugs have helped a lot of artists become more creative and have helped them expand their imaginations.

Why can't you have a hobby AND take drugs? You don't have to be doing this hobby all the time, you can also try new things. Similarly, you shouldn't be spending all your time doing drugs, either.
By the way, have you ever had soda or eaten a chocolate bar? Coffee or tea? You've taken drugs if you answered yes to any of those, each one of those contains caffeine, and chocolate also contains one or two (I think) other drugs.
Caffine is a drug. It affects your brain.
Painkillers are drugs, they affect your brain.
To talk about drugs as if they are a mega-evil which can only ruin your life is like looking at a coin from one side and saying "This coin has tails on both sides".
You're saying that my friends who do or have taken drugs should all be in jail, for no reason more than they're enjoying an aspect of life that you are not. They aren't criminals, hell they're not even annoying. They are some of the best, open minded and caring people I have ever met, not to mention damn intelligent. Not all of them, mind, but not all people who drink alcahol are pleasant when drunk. Some people aren't even pleasant when they're sober.
And there are reasons other than 'my life is stressful' as to why people take drugs. But even then, what do you do when you're stressed? Go and work out? Well, that makes your body release chemicals into your brain making you feel good. Have some coffee? Drug. Go for a walk in the sun? Sunlight has a chemical effect on your brain as well. You can't escape 'drugs' - your waking day to day life is goverened by them, except if you stay 'clean' it's like using Internet Explorer rather than Firefox or another enhanced browser. It functions, you can get by and still lead a fulfilling life, but there will be those who experience the world slightly differently to you.
I'm not here to recommend drug use or suggest you try it, as we all know that's a bad thing to do in the eyes of the law and it is exposing aspects of your self to dark untouched waters which might be scary, and understandably (perhaps even justifiably in some cases) so. But I am trying to free you, meaning, 'you' the public who are willing to hear this, of this illusion that taking drugs turns you into a sick person who cannot be trusted to live their life rightfully anymore. Some people who take drugs will even have experienced more to life than you could ever hope to achieve without them, so please don't look down on them.

Something needs to be done about how drug's are referred to anyway. If someone says 'drugs' they're referring to a very wide catagory of substances with large variations in effects, some quite harmless, others very deadly.
It's very unproductive and quite dangerous to refer to these substances this way, because you can hear someone say something about 'drugs' and think that they are referring to all drugs equally. This is not good. Heroin falls in the catagory of drugs just as marijuana does, but heroin is vastly more dangerous and lifestyle changing.
The world needs to break apart the 'drug' catagory into smaller catagories that can be tackled independantly, so more qualitative information can be learnt about each and so there is less chance of confusion when communicating the issue. You don''t refer to fatty foods as 'food' when saying its bad for you, do you? "Keep away from food, its fattening". No, its counter-productive and will do more harm than good if you were to tell that to someone who is seeking advice.
Likewise, if you were to think heroin crack and weed are all basically the 'same' and read my above post you could end up thinking some very misinformed or dangerous things.
For that reason I'd like to state that the drugs I had in mind when writing the post were weed and hallucinegens such as LSD or magic mushrooms (weed is a mild hallucinegen anyway).</span>
I probably shouldn't be posting this because of its heavy 'drug' nature, so mods please feel free to take action if its deemed necessary.

yes yes i am.
and yes, they are breaking the law. so that does make them criminals. both in my book, and the law's unless your in holland. in which case, i still think your a cretin, but the law doesnt.
you cant have a discussion like this and not expect at least one or two very anti drug people to come along.... thats how the world works.

The <a href='http://www.bbc.co.uk/crime/drugs/classifications.shtml' target='_blank'>class</a> system we have here is okay, I guess, but even that has problems; I would be worried for someone if they took heroin (a class A drug) but not if they took E or magic mushrooms (other class A drugs). I guess we'll never have a good system to call drugs by, since they're so diverse anyway.
There's a difference between someone who is just totally mad and a pothead.
I NEVER TAKE ANY OF YOUR HORRIBLE PROCESSED DRUGS LIKE WATER AND BURGERS AND BEER AND ASPIRIN. I ONLY SMOKE WHAT MOTHER NATURE GIVES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DRUGGIES ARE SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, but it's not going to change, sad to say. There's a massive stigma about all "drugs" (that is, C and up), both on an international and national level. Hell, the UN has condemned the UK making cannabis a class C drug, and in the run up to the elections, there were rumblings about changing it back to B.
Seriously, stupid people need to stop throwing up their opinions everywhere.
