Also, i want you to know i'm just some punk rebel kid defending something i think "is the cool thing to do"
And i will be the first to admit i don't know everything, and i never will. I have grown up with a family that takes the occasional drink, but not laying out drunk all the time, and in my eyes, there is nothing wrong with that. But i was raised that when your old enough as long as your not getting drunk, and out driving, one or two beers is fine. And if my parents thought I was out getting drunk or drinking and driving they would kill me. My mom doesn't drink and my dad may drink a 6 pack a week, but he never drives, not even after one.
So what is the big deal with people doing something that is LEGAL that you don't do? That's what makes people diffrent, and gives you your own identity.

That last part sounds like you're trying to recruit kids for drugs or something like that.  You shouldn't tell kids things like that because they'll think "Hey, if I do drugs, I'll be different and it will give me my own identity."

I dont believe he was implying that at all....He was speaking in terms of drinking alcohol not taking drugs, and to say he was recruiting kids for drugs is ridiculous...

As far as marijuana goes, I'm going to say no way it should be legal at all...I think some people know how to do it responsibly and not get out and do ignorant things afterwords, but some people are just stupid about it, and let it lead to other things...If you can keep yourself under control with Marijuana then I wouldnt have much of a problem with it...

As far as alchohol goes, I get slayed quite a bit myself, and see nothing wrong with it...The way I see it if you work hard all week you deserve a step out of reality and need to kick back and have some fun...I dont 'need' it for fun, but it sure does help socialize thats for sure...I dont go anywhere when Im drinking though, and would take the keys away from anybody with me that wanted to drive after drinking...

I believe its all about maturity with both marijuna and alcohol and the fact is most people dont have the maturity level to do either and act like they have sense...
