you can say what you want about THC being a good drug, but what's good about it? sure it makes SOME people happy, but so do a bunch of antidepressants. this isn't experienced by everyone that takes it though. some of the other side effects of it are a loss of motivation, increased inhibitions, the inability to function normally while under the influence(or for serious heads the inability to function without it), and a decline in analytical thinking skills. for an illegal drug, it stays in your system way too long for my tastes. Being unable to pass a drug test might be one of the reasons why the majority of stoners tend to be unemployed, do stuff under the table, or work manual labor or serving positions. I know every stoner in the hive will probably want to flame me for what I just said, but most of you have to know it's true. THC does deserve more research than it has gotten so far. So do a lot of other chemicals.
If pacman influenced us, we'd glide around dark rooms eating pills and listen to repetitive music.
