My recent poll is because today, one of my friends and I had a discussion about Marijuana. I have and do smoke it, I have for about 4 years. What people don't know about me is that I was born 6 weeks premature. I was born in march and spent my first Christmas in the Hospital with a croup infection I was born with. That's the first 9 months of my life. i bring this up because my immune system was pretty much offline for the majority of my life. Long Hospital stays and extremely pron to croup, strep throat and tonsillitis. I also have asthma. For the past 4 years, I have not once been put in the hospital, my last stay was when I had tonsillitis, strep throat and Mono at the same time.
My friend has never touched pot and i asked them if they would like to try it someday. they gave me a shpel where you'd expect a Conservative Politician would give on the horrors of it and how it is the "gateway" drug, and it being illegal and whatnot. That is where I differ on the subject.
