I do think marijuana has medicinal purposes for the terminally ill, and people can choose to use it in their private life, but I am not going to respect anyone who posts photos of themselves doing it because, yes, it seems like they are trying to be "cool". I do have friends who have done it, but most of them got over it by about 19, except for one friend who was 25 - he was friendly, popular, dated the most amazing girl in town, had a great job, was a gym instructor and the captain of the District hockey team - then he started smoking pot and lost his girlfriend, his job, his place in the hockey team, he quit the gym, we never saw him anymore - luckily for him, he had family who supported him and moved him away from that situation. I can understand people may have different experiences, but I do think Dougal etc. are douchebags, based on personal experience
