My Ambien lover

By day, my boyfriend acted cold and distant. But at night, after popping his pill, he transformed into the affectionate man of my dreams.

    There's no other way to say it: You're so stupid

    You write "Please spare the non-addicts your little wasted fantasies about how much better the world would be with hemp and if we were all as wasted as you."

    1) I don't even smoke weed.

    2) there's a diifference between potheads, who smoke weed regularly, and pot smokers, who use it recreationally, and smoke it occassionally, like a lot of people drink alcohol.

    3) i never said anything about how much better the world could be if everyone smoked weed all the time. nothing even close to that. you're just putting words in my mouth. or, as you put it, blowing smoke out of your ass.

    4) Weed isn't exactly addictive, like alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine cocaine or heroin, for example.

    Moreover,

    5) yes, many potheads in law school get good grades. they do their homework, they talk in class. The people who get bad grades are stupid poeple who can't d simple logic, like yourself, for example (see below). As long as you use almost any drug responsibly and moderately (including pot, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, etc), you can be a very productive and intelligent human being.

    6) not nearly every pothead or pot smoker is a Deadhead. That's just your stupid reductionist logic that probably goes something like this, " dude, in high school, there was this one guy, he smoked weed all the time and listened to the grateful dead all the time" ergo " every pot smoker is like this guy." which is, to put it mildly, idiotic.

    My question for you is, how, in the space of such a short email, can you get so many things wrong?
