While I respect your right not to use any substances, there are plenty that don't make you stupid.
Pot is not one of them.
Well, I should elaborate. Pot does not make you "stupid." However, being a former pot head and current pro-legalization advocate/non-smoker, I do have to say that people who are high around me seem a lot stupider than they did when I was smoking. They forget shit. Their reaction time is slower. They say dumb things as if that was the epiphany of their lives. Now, these are people who are not dumb. Being high just makes them special for a bit. This is not true of all people, but I know some highs made me feel like a mental cripple.

I did opium twice. Never again, too good.
Holy shit. I was smoking butts all that time and didn't know I was getting high.
