And they claim weed doesn't affect the mind.
Here's a story my nephew relayed a couple weeks ago: (paraphrased)
... snip...
See what happens to people who take drugs? They become liars... or worse. For you see that my nephew hasn't worked for awhile now, yet always seems to have money for cigarettes, weed, gas, and food at restaurants. And, BTW, he's not a drug dealer. That only leaves one course of action to obtain money: By stealing shit! And his favorite place to fence the loot...wait for it...the pawn shops. Now tell me his brain ain't fried.
I understand what you mean PG. But at the same time, almost wonder if it is something else. Maybe just because I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I really wonder if the drugs turn them into liars, or in their altered state, they just really think that was reality at the time. I know too many people unfortunately that smoke weed and I really think that it changes what they perceive as the truth. The bad thing, is the truth to them changes so quickly. It's annoying...
But, you're probably also right. Because every person I know that's like that, even when they aren't smoking are just down right scum bags. Haven't always been that way, but they more they smoke, they more they head down hill.
Not trying to start a drug debate either, but appreciate seeing the story. Sorry that it hits so close to home.
