I think that weed makes people lazy and it gets in the way of their success. I want to say at least every other one of my friends smokes weed, and I honestly don’t have a problem with it. I don’t have a problem with it because I’m not the one smoking, they are: people are free to do as they please. However, I think smoking starts to become a problem when it gets in the way of individual progress. There are people that I know that need to smoke weed before they write a paper to get there creative juices flowing. There are people I know that need to roll a blunt before they go see The Hunger Games because it will be more entertaining to watch high. But then again, I can’t say I understand smokers because I don’t smoke weed.
Before I came to college, I was obviously raised with the idea that of course marijuana is bad and anyone who does it is a bad person. I was instilled with the idea that marijuana defines gangsters and who knows probably people who shoot or stab other people. It sure sounds funny but it really is the truth, if you grew up in a conservative Mexican-Catholic family.
As soon as I moved into Zinfandel Village my freshmen year, it took me a longer time to find out what a CSA was then to find out where I can buy weed. The truth of the matter is, a lot of students at Sonoma State smoke or sell marijuana, and the more I have been exposed to it the more I have grown to realize it really isn’t as bad as people think. I’ve met some really bright people who are on the Presidential Scholar list and smoke weed more than twice a day. However, I think smoking has grown to take over control of people’s daily routines and level of priorities.
