No, nuff not said ;).  Life is not about working 24 hours 
a day, and comparing pot to prozac is silly. It's great that you're
straight-edge, how fashionable, but don't pass judgement on 
other people, about things of which you admittedly have no
interest or experience.

Making the broad claim that "shit doesn't get done" because
of... marijuana... well, it's enough to crack me up, and my
thc blood levels are just about zero right now.
