Still getting pothead hate mail

I'm still getting angry hate mail from potheads upset that I criticized their choice to waste their lives getting stoned in that post that I wrote a couple of weeks ago.

Tonight I got this piece:

you're generalization that all people who smoke marijuana are "dumb dopers" and tend to "finish out their lives in video stores" only shows your ignorance. You are an evil, mean, disgusting person who thrives off of hate and wakes up in the morning only with the hope of belittling your fellow man. I feel sorry for your parents and friends for having to put up with your totalitarian intolerance . @#$%&*.

First of all, it's "Your", not "you're", so that's one for capitalization and one for grammar. And it kind of makes my point about dopers, don't you think?

I've also had more than one writer tell me that I need to "loosen up and experience life" and that my narrow-minded attitude about drugs restricts my ability to do this somehow.

Well kiddies, if you checked out this blog and got to know me, you'd see that I'm a pilot, a gun collector and accomplished competitive shooter, and you'd see that I scuba dive when I'm not flying planes or shooting guns. I couldn't do any of these things if I used drugs. It's not only illegal, but it's dangerous. Why would I want to trade all of those things for a few puffs on some dead plant material? When it comes to life, we all have to make choices. I choose to keep my senses about me and enjoy doing things a little more adventurous then getting high and eating Doritos. So if the stuff I do isn't enough life experience for you, please tell me what fun things a stoner can legally do, besides the obvious--sitting on an old couch in the parents' basement smoking dope, eating junk food and playing video games. Any time you want to stack your lives up against mine, just bring 'em.
