It's mystifying to me why they wouldn't let you have your money. It sounds like you are very responsible person who wants to buy responsible things with it.

Thanks for your sarcasm, Nick. Much appreciated. I don't spend much money on weed in the first place. I can buy an eighth for twenty dollars, and the most I've ever smoked in one sitting was like 3/8 of a gram. So basically, twenty dollars worth lasts me for a long time.
You sound like a person who doesn't like to condescendingly make sarcastic posts.

Hello there
Why are you taking the moral high ground because someone wants to spend their money on dope?
edit: I decided to go ahead and retort to your impending retort (or possible lack thereof) because I'm impatient.
First off, you don't know the guy, so making judgments about his character is just stupid. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with purchasing dope despite the legality of it or your seemingly twisted moral views, because there's literally nothing wrong with it (both from a physical detrimental and dependency aspect). Third, you drink alcohol (and have done so illegally I might add) which is arguably "worse" for you in numerous ways, which pretty much makes you a hypocrite and come off looking like a snob.
I don't particularly enjoy smoking dope and haven't done it in a long time. But at the same time, I realize that looking down on someone's use of it is nonsensical. You're better than this Nick. I'm not trying to start a shit throwing contest with you, but your comments bothered me.

Okay, so having been on facebook a lil while now it would seem most everyone from high school sure has porked up. Makes me want to go work out just to move in the complete opposite direction of that...
*gag*
It's good to be the scrawny guy now.

He knows the equivocation he made is completely irrelevant and flawed. It's called ball-busting.

Hello there
I'm hope you're right about that even though it makes my post moot. I wouldn't bet money on it though.

I really see nothing wrong with busting the balls of some 16 year old kid because his parents don't want to let him use his money when he intends to use it irresponsibly. And yes I do "look down" on people who use drugs, including alcohol in excess. Even smoking.

i don't really see anything wrong with buying weed, it's just something people enjoy like paying for some other leisure activity or food or something and it doesn't really harm you much (a fast food meal probably would more). however not having to buy drugs/alcohol makes me have so much more money its fucking ridiculous; when i was drinking a lot i wasted a hugeee amount of money but now that i stopped i've actually been able to have excess money and buy things i like (such as the new computer i'm going to get exclusively for gaming next month, fuck eyah nerd stuff 
)

Hello there
Busting someone's balls and pulling the holier than thou card are two totally different things, and I know you know this.
Like I mentioned before, none of us know this person, so none of us are in a position to make accusations about their character just because of a single comment made on a forum. And how can you determine that his wanting to purchase dope with his own money as irresponsible? What does that even mean? Irresponsible in the sense that he wants to use his money for his own personal satisfaction/enjoyment? Because if that's the case, you're just as guilty as he is for irresponsible spending because I'm sure you don't spend all of your money on mere necessities right? Or is it just that because it's weed and not say, bubble gum, that makes it irresponsible? What makes purchasing weed irresponsible? Because the government made it illegal and society attempts to demonize it as something evil which therefore created your mentality on it and every other form of drug as something bad, which aside from being ridiculous, is extremely close-minded.
And who said anything about excess? I don't recall him mentioning how he was going to blow all of his money on dope. Besides, just about anything done in excess bad. Whether you want to look down on someone for that is your problem I guess. But the casual consumption of alcohol or smoking of dope, despite your crazy and somewhat confusing opinion is not bad for you. In fact, there are many uses for alcohol and dope that are very good for the human body. I'm sure you've heard of medicinal weed right? And surely you've heard that red wine has health benefits as well when consumed in moderation. The smoking comment doesn't making much sense to me though. Smoking in excess and smoking period are pretty much the same thing. Smoking is inherently bad for you and is just stupid. My mom and brother smoke, along with quite a few other people I know and respect. I don't like their addiction, but for me to say what you're saying, that I look down upon them because they're smokers is just sad man.
You can dislike drugs and choose not to do them, to which I say more power to ya. I'm not trying to be an advocate for doing drugs, in fact I'd advocate not doing them for my own personal reasons. But I just don't understand where anyone gets off looking down on others because of personal choices they make that aren't bad for them or anyone if done responsibly and in moderation.

Filling your lungs with smoke is not inherently bad? How can you seriously shrug off all potential health hazards of smoking marijuana? Its legality is irrelevant to me. Smoking marijuana is acting irresponsibly by the very nature of the effect that the drug has on the mind. Being under the influence of mind-altering substances puts yourself and others at risk. This is my main issue, though not my only problem. Just because you may sit in your room listening to music doesn't mean you're "smoking marijuana responsibly" as though there is such a thing. Likewise with alcohol in excess (which is the only thing that I specified as "in excess", by the way). My main issue with cigarettes, of course, outside of the health issue, is the dependency issue. I consider all recreational drugs a crutch and something to be avoided, and the usage of drugs to be a demonstration of weakness, especially when addiction and dependency comes into play.
Tell me, what exactly is so bad about thinking less of a person because of what they do? Am I supposed to be strictly egalitarian and love everybody, or can I value drug usage less and an interest in learning more? It's not like I hate people who do drugs, think that they're bad people, or even think that they're incapable of being a 'better' person than I am. I just think less of them because of their drug usage/dependency/addiction. Not "less of them than of non-users", but "less of them than I would if they didn't do drugs".

Hello there
You could argue that, but personally I'd say filling your lungs with a few puffs of dope is a lot less harmful than breathing in car exhaust fumes or other shit that permeates in the atmosphere.
Um, what? That's complete bullshit. Honestly, you need to do a little more research on the chemicals stored in the brain and its affects on the body. There are all sorts of chemicals that the human body itself releases to induce some sort of altered state of mind like adrenaline, melatonin, seratonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and the list goes on. What the hell do you think is happening when you sleep man? Your body emits a chemical known as DMT or dimethyltryptamine, which is responsible for your dreams. All drugs do is trigger other chemicals in your body which causes the altered state of mind, nearly all of these occur naturally in the body. So where do you get the idea that sparking these chemicals through inhaling marijuana is irresponsible, especially when it causes no harm to the human body after the affects wear off?
waat How does that not mean you're smoking dope responsibly?
I agree with the cigarette issues, I hate smoking and don't think anyone should do it personally. But your opinion on recreational drugs is just mind-boggling to me. I have smoked dope before and can't say I'll never do it again. But is it a crutch to me? No. Where you make this connection is completely flooring me right now. What you're expressing right now about dependency and addiction comes in isn't an issue with drugs, it's an issue with human nature. Humans can become dependent and addicted to many more things than only drugs. To me, you come off as if you're afraid of experiencing these different drugs and their effect on the the body and brain. And you speak of weakness, there's no weakness in someone trying to explore the many avenues of altering their consciousness. What's weak is your complete close-mindedness on this issue and unwillingness to even understand the other side.
The point is, in order for you to justifiably look down upon others you need to be perfect in and of yourself. You are not perfect. Perfection of any form as a human is a physical impossibility, therefore your opinion of others and their actions is null and void. There's no way you could theorize that a person who smokes marijuana or drinks alcohol once in a blue moon is in any way shape or form inferior to you.
I look down on people that are afraid to try drugs. I have respect for people that are cautious about the certain drugs they try.
