I've done a lot of that this summer.
Re-thinking my morals, my standards, even my desires.
Why do I condemn weed and condone cigars - before it had to do with the law. But if you take it down from a legal level and put it on a moral level, who is to say that the law is right? Weed is just as bad as tobacco or alcohol (or even less so) - but alcohol and tobacco are associated with the white upper class and weed generally isn't - therefore tobacco and alcohol are legal and weed is not because it best suits the parties in power. So, should my decision to smoke or not to smoke be based on a legal system that's one-sided? I like to enjoy a cigar every once and a while (since having my first about a year and a half ago with my MY teammates) but I have never given in to weed. Unfortunately I can't even convince myself that I have good reason not to because the best one I have (that it's just not good for you) would mean no smoking cigars either.
Anyhow, I don't have a particularly strong desire to smoke weed - I just don't like that I can't even prove to myself that I should or shouldn't.
