I owe that too her.

If she would have told me in the beginning that she smoked marijuana I wouldn't have continued to date her and I would have told her then, because that's not my thing. I would have told her to find someone who was into that sort of thing but she didn't tell me until months later when I smelled it on her breath. That's when she came forward and told me. She hid the fact that she smoked it everyday until later. I was lead to believe it was an occasional thing because she was hiding it's control over her.

Smoking marijuana long term is not healthy for you. I'm not trying to control my girlfriend, I just gave her a choice. If she wanted to continue to have a relationship with me then she had to give that up. It was her decision to try and I'm thankful for that, that's all I could ask for, from her. If it works out, time will tell. I hope it does because she is awesome and we are awesome together. I would certainly be heart broken if she chose a drug over me but I would have to move on and continue my life.

Most people, just like you, only see the happy side and the mellow side of the drug. Go to a drug treatment facility or see kids in your neighborhood have there lives destroyed by drugs. Ask them how they got started into the drug life and I bet the majority of them say they started with marijuana and it lead to other, more harmful drugs that destroy lives. I personally lost a family member to drugs and where do you think it started? Marijuana, because they let down there morals and did something that was thought to not be all that bad, then something else wasn't all that bad, next thing you know, there trapped. It's a sad thing but unlike you. I am and have been effected differently by drug use so it's a different belief to me.
The "gateway drug" argument is the most baseless and illogical argument that one could use. Just because some dumb kids are experimenting with marijuana and choose to do a hard drug doesn't make marijuana the problem nor does it mean that all users move to hard drugs. It's not the fault of marijuana itself but the person using it.

Fact is, marijuana on it's own has a host of positive benefits if it is used by a responsible adult in MODERATION. Marijuana on it's own is harmless. In fact, that's why in states that marijuana is legal in, it's only legal for adults 21 and over. That is also why most states allow medicinal marijuana to be prescribed to qualifying medical patients; it's been scientifically proven to have health benefits and is even considered to be a form of medicine for those with anxiety, chronic pain, or even cancer. Do your research and open your mind.

If we use the "gateway drug" argument if one would even call it that to every day life, then people shouldn't hunt animals for food because they would move to humans later on or people shouldn't use legally prescribed prescription drugs because they might become addicted to them and abuse them as a result. See how illogical this sounds?

Sorry to sound harsh with you, it's not my intention to be mean. Certain things just have a tendency to set me off.
