17. "RE: ------- SMOKING WEED = ENEMY OF BLACK PROGRESSION?" In response to In response to 0
I been chill with smokers for a bit, not always intensionally, I just do a lot of activities - and you'd be surprised how many successful people smoke. I'm not talking about just artists either. I'm an IT guy - I support the litigation department in my Co. and there are plenty of bud smoking engineers, lawyers, Nature resource management professionals, etc, who have finished college with 3.6s or greater and got ill jobs. I'd be willing to bet that it's not just the media or gov. that gives Buda a bad name, but also It is not in the best interest for successful smokers to come out publicly with there activity.
I haven't seen one consist tendency with smokers. Some are motivated, some are not. Some have bad lungs, some run 3 miles a day. Some love weed, others are social smokers. There's just not enough facts to me on the negative effect to believe it's going to cause the down fall of a people, especially when there's so many who don't fit the negative stereotype of bud smokers. But that's just my observation, I could be wrong...
