I live in Washington. In the Tacoma and Seattle area, marijuana is quite...popular. In fact, in Seattle there is a law that makes weed a last priority crime. And then there's Seattle Hempfest, which now lasts three days.

I see all these question and answer things that people do when they're bored, and it seems that 'Could you live the rest of your life without smoking weed?' is a common question. And 'Uh, yeah. Duh.' is a very common answer. It always makes me feel...I don't know, like I'm a bad person or something. Could I live the rest of my life without smoking weed? Yes. Of course. But I don't think that that should be the question. The question should be, 'Will you live the rest of your life without smoking weed?'. To that, I would have to answer a big, fat, honest no. No, I will not spend the rest of my life without smoking weed. I've tried it. I like it. I don't really want to go into why I smoke. Let's just say it numbs the pain. In more ways than one. I'm not a stoner. Not even close. I know that weed will mess with my brain while I'm still so young, so I do it only occasionally. It's a great alternative to something like alcohol. And I like Vodka a little more than a healthy person should.

But here is my dilemma. My sister, one of my closest friends, is really, really against weed. She thinks that it's worse than cigarettes and alcohol combined. And every time I correct her, she just gives me this fucked up look. Or she smiles that 'I'm older than you so I know better than you smile' and says something bitchy. I understand why she would hate weed. She's under the conviction that weed made our mom so awful. But that wasn't weed, that was just our mom. I can't talk to her about any of this at all. She would probably never talk to me again if I straight up told her. Or she'd run and tell my dad and just get angrier that he already knows.

The real point of this journal? I really want to know what people think about weed. Do you think it should be legal? Do you think it's evil and pointless and stupid? Do you think that stoners are just idiots who want to have fun? I'm in the mood for a healthy debate if you disagree with my views. So yeah. Thoughts?

i understand why some people do it, and i've seriously considered doing it medically when i'm 18 because of my chronic migraines, but i'm against some of the people who sell it, as some of it is illegally grown in national parks, or grown by drug cartels.
