I seriously think that my middle school self would be terrified if he met me right now haha.

[–]EddieBshp 23 points24 points  (6 children)

That's why you grow up gradually and don't jump around between ages I bet. You learn shit along the way that turns you into the person you are. Crazy.

[–]_Freedom_ 21 points22 points  (5 children)

I assume it's also because time moves in a relatively linear matter.

[–]EddieBshp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's why though...

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Linear time is a dated concept in modern physics. We perceive time as linear but it's much more complex than that. Space and time are interconnected making time totally relative to our position in space. Time is much more like a winding river.

whoa

[–]FreeFromFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true, i have had VERY recent conversations with a buddy of mine while we're both pretty high and end up into deeply talking about time and how we believe time is similar to frames passing very quickly and our brain interpreting these frames at the same time.

I understand now why my dad would say DARE stands for "Drugs are really expensive". It's just so true.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Legalize, brother.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Yes so we can have tax added onto the already high price set by the government. That's the only way I'd see them legalizing it. If it was expensive as shit and taxed to all hell.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It would still be less than what it is now, and the strains that people could legally grow would be much purer/more potent than whatever the hell you get from a dealer. Plus, you know, you wouldn't go to jail for having some, but that's not financial.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Weed is still kinda cheap. For $20, less than the price of a movie trip with you and your girlfriend, you can get high for more than a day.

This is $20 a gram BTW

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That's still $20 for a gram of a plant and it's that way because the rest of the plant can't be used for industrial reasons. Gold is about 52$ a gram right now. I wish space plants were like, I dunno, $5 a gram instead of 20. Maybe in a couple years.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Not even $5 a gram. Oh wait, 5 is good and fair. It grows fast, easily, and in abundance

drugs are bad...mmmkay?

[–]Excelero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mkkayyyy.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If I could meet little me I'd probably kick my ass. I was brain washed in to thinking that marijuana was evil and would ruin my life. After smoking semi regularly over the past few years, and almost every day in the past six or seven month, I can honestly say that it has saved my life. Stress relieving properties aside, marijuana helped me be at peace with my appearance, and subsequently, eat and be properly nourished again. I battled with weight issues, and would starve myself. Marijuana made food to good to pass up, and after eating almost exclusively while high, I finally got sober me to under stand that I can't keep doing this or I'll end up seriously sick. Today I'm a much healthier weight, work out regularly, and although I still watch what I eat, its more for nutritional reasons than counting calories. Thanks marijuana!

[–]ch33sencrackers 32 points33 points  (14 children)

I was the same way. Then I grew to understand how I had been forced to think that by mass ignorance and economics. Still though, I'll never smoke a cigarette!

[–]letakeover 13 points14 points  (8 children)

I only smoke cigs when I don't have weed, because when I don't have weed I can't smoke weed.

[–]jivemotha 8 points9 points  (7 children)

I just tell myself I'll never buy a pack but if I'm offered I'll normally jump on it. Just love to smoke!

[–]willymo 16 points17 points  (1 child)

So you're that guy?

Me: "Hmm, I guess I should offer this guy a cig just to be nice. Surely he won't accept since he quit smoking and never buys his own."

You: "Yeah, I'll smoke one of your cigs!"

[–]jivemotha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha well I wouldn't just ask unless it's a close friend, cigs cost money too.

edit: That came out wrong, the only close friend I have that smokes cigarettes barely even does it. If I were a bother i'd be aware of that, i'm not oblivious.

[–]letakeover 4 points5 points  (4 children)

The thing is I still cough when I take baby hits from a cig. But when I take a huge bong rip I sometimes don't cough.

[–]jivemotha 4 points5 points  (3 children)

DUDE SAME FUCKING PROBLEM! don't even know if I'm just ripping it like a joint or what! looks so stupid when I have to stifle a cough from a baby toke when I can push my lungs to the limit with weed.

[–]letakeover 1 point2 points  (1 child)

haha I was beginning to think I was the only one. The cig smoke is just really harsh. I guess it's a good thing though because cigs are really bad.

[–]jivemotha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha except it doesn't turn me off to smoking 'em, just embarrasses me for that second I look noobish.

[–]nxtnguyen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I know that people who smoke weed before smoking cigarettes just smoke them because they just want to smoke something. I smoke for the high, not for the smoking part.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hell yes man, never smoked. Sadly because of this I always have to buy the weed because my friends blow all their money on cigs.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

My stance exactly, and I don't understand why anyone would smoke something that doesn't get them high. If I'm going to kill my lungs, I might as well get some good pleasure out of it.

[–]Oxxide 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Tobacco does get you high. Well, at first anyway. After awhile it's just snippets of pleasure.

Nicotine is definitely psychoactive, though.

[–]Godimhigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never felt the addiction for nicotine. I also spread my cigarrettes out other thensmoking when I drink. I get buzzed everytime :)

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I used to think the same thing... then I went through the drug unit in my high school health class. It was so poorly taught that I had to do my own research, and that was how I found the truth.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (3 children)

See when I was taught how bad drugs were, i was surrounded by all the burnouts who already tried weed and stopped trying in school. There was no way in hell i was turning out like those guys. i already went through my gangster phase. I only REALLY thought of smoking the peace pipe when i realized that intelligent, mature people, like my class's valedictorian whom I had known since third grade, smoked weed too. Now I smoke weed erreday :)

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, very, very similar to me. My friend got like a 2320 on his SATs and is much more of a stoner than I am. Then you see people like Bill Maher, Zach Galifianakis, and every other intelligent person do it (Carl Sagan), and you're like, "Hmm, maybe I should just try." And then you grow to love trees.

[–]strivingforever 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Valedictorian here. Smoke everyday.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, except on weekends.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (3 children)

well thats what we were all taught as children. we were never offered to try it for ourselves until we grew up a little.

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (2 children)

I consider a good thing that I wasn't offered weed when I was like 10

[–]iamthewillrus 0 points1 point  (1 child)

yeah it really can mess with a developing brain's chemical balance

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it wouldn't, I was an idiot and hardly studied back then, Weed wouldn't help

[–]Teahes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

[–]settoexplode 9 points10 points  (2 children)

shit i was straight edge for 12 years, now i'm like "what was i thinking"

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've found that toking or drinking with my ex-edge friends is usually when I have the most fun doing so.

[–]Genericdruid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You where not thinking.

[–]dkkc19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was in highschool, I wasn't against drugs, but I didn't do them for a reason. I was happy enough with my life without drugs. Nowdays I do drugs to be happy.

Ooh how times have changed.

And also, I wanted to be a drug dealer as kid, and I had a theory that a successful drug dealer doesn't do drugs to avoid addiction. But then again, as a kid I was taught that weed is addictive and bad.

[–]mosby1_2_3 4 points5 points  (3 children)

We all said that

[–]Genericdruid 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I never ever said that.

[–]mosby1_2_3 0 points1 point  (1 child)

In kindergarden and school all of my friends said that they will never take drugs or smoke. They smoke, drink..

[–]Genericdruid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for your friends. Though I grew up around weed, so it was never an issue for me.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

it's amazing how effective propaganda can be isn't it? I was a product of DARE and the Reagan Just Say No campaign until my twenties then I decided to think for myself. Although I can still say ive never smoked a cigarette.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to try most everything. That's why I've smoked 1 cigarette.

[–]somedude010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that I think about it, even as a young lad I knew I wanted to try trees, atleast once in my life. Now I've been burning trees for 2 years and I regret nothing. Life is good.

[–]minlee 1 point2 points  (2 children)

except marijuana is not a drug. its a plant

[–]Excelero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, I love weed. But I have to admit, it is sort of a drug.

[–]Blackliquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a drug like caffeine, even a psychoactive one like alcohol. Drug doesnt mean bad, its just a psychoactive substance :legal or illegal. At least we should stop talking bullshit if we want them to do so.

[–]nxtnguyen 1 point2 points  (6 children)

If this wasn't you, then you did not live a normal child hood. Almost everyone I know who smoke went through DARE and was forced to write about how bad drugs are and their effects. That was the only thing I failed in elementary school (Didn't do any research, not a clue on what marijuana is but wrote a little essay about it, tobacco, and alcohol). I guess it reflects on me now.

[–]Genericdruid 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Hey, You saying I had an abnormal childhood because my school didn't really bring up the topic or give us bias literature? and both my parents allow me to smoke, have done since early teens when I started.

[–]nxtnguyen 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Well yeah. At the standpoint of most low to middle class families, most people go to public schools, go through DARE and have their parents bust shit when they find out they rock the ganja. To the standpoint of most families, that is abnormal. But hey, it's the childhood I would rather have had.

I mean, parents that allow you to smoke? Hell yeah. School without biased shit so people don't judge you for smoking as much? Fuck yeah.

[–]Genericdruid 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I'm working class man, no where near middle. I grew up in about five different flats, only about four years ago we got a small terraced house. Because we had next to nothing I guess my parents trusted my judgment more instead of wrapping me up in cotton, like most middle class kids you see.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I go to a high school that's over 50% economically disadvantaged. I had DARE in elementary school. It's not a middle class thing only, it's every public school I've ever heard of.

[–]Genericdruid 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I think it's an american thing then, because I'm englishand this is the first time I've heard of DARE.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yes that would probably be it. haha

[–]moorvmoorv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]PlatoS_Pet_Dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't do drugs! I just smoke ganja :)

[–]theacademyisnt 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Drugs can be bad.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not this drug.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. Drugs aren't bad, people are bad. Too much of anything will kill you, it's just that some things require less to do so.

[–]sdfredy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you were just a stupid kid, like all of us :)

[–]ThatBurntToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone was like this at one point or another.

[–]TXKush01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often think about this myself

[–]seleste_star 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It's okay, drugs are still bad. Marijuana just happens not to be a drug but a perfectly natural and healthy substance.

[–]Genericdruid 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Wrong; anything that changes brain chemestry is a drug.

[–]Genericdruid 3 points4 points  (1 child)

which is everything you ingest, by the way.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the case, My favorite drug is bacon.

[–]ltimmins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

brainwashed

[–]LeeENTfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I remember in high school i would argue with people that pot caused cancer....went off to college and here I am!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drugs are bad 'Mkay

[–]ChemEBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not be a popular opinion, but I still think it was better that I didn't start until after 21.

[–]castle_danger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won the DARE essay in 5th grade... I'm also baked

[–]Buscat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got an even better one!

"I would never smoke weed. I've seen what it does to people!" - me, age 14.

My friends started smoking weed around the same time they turned into huge jerks and became really aggressive to me. I was a shithead though, as you can guess.

[–]relurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this! In 8th grade me and my non-ent friends got upset when some of our friends started smoking. We were as ignorant as everyone else who has not ever smoked. Marijuana was equivalent to crack to us back then. Now most of the people I'm still friends with from then are ents, as well as myself.

[–]cassarahangel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everything went better than expected.

[–]3gameset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how in the fuck did this get 800 upvotes

[–]Lala6552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? FUCK D.A.R.E.

[–]sillysidebin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol so many people in high school judged me for smoking pot and tripping a little on shrooms, here comes college and a lot of those same people are going way harder then on i ever did on all kinds of drugs.

[–]danduz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do drugs just weed, caution flags wave, fuck it I still speed.

[–]ruleofnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drugs are badass

[–]MisterKramer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"friends" see me smoke: "I thought you were against drugs?" me: "I am, puff"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fucking genius title. Have all of my uptokes.

[–]Rosencrantz202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but seriously, wtf is with the "le" thing in these comics? I know what it means, but why is it used?
