Almost all of my childhood friends grew up and got into it. Nearly everyone I knew while I was in HS did, and pretty much everyone I'm meeting at college does. It's no big deal.. hell, I think the stuff should be legal. I just don't personally do it (ever).
Thing is, it kinda blows my mind that something that still carries a serious risk of getting arrested and doing jail time is SO widespread and casually discussed by just about everyone.
For example, today: the cute, geeky brunette talking loudly on the phone in the halls to her boyfriend about how she's gonna pick up blunts on the way home, or the guy who comes to class every day high telling us how he smoked with his speech professor between classes, while the dude who's going to school to be a cop just laughs. Or another professor talking about priorities actually writes "weed" on the board after someone yells it out, etc.
Then you have the TV shows like Weeds and the Kevin Smith/Apatow movies released by huge companies that pretty much glorify the stuff...
why is this? is the fact that it's still "illegal" considered that much of a fucking joke that nobody cares?
