Weed

It has come to my attention today that people who smoke weed often readily accuse strangers of also getting or being high.  Today I was sitting in my Earth and Planetary Science class (a 2 unit class on Oceans for jocks who need to fulfill a requirement), and my friend and I get into a conversation about how cool it would be to be a professor minus all the grad school you'd have to go to.  Summers off, 17 hour weeks, a little publishing here and there, and if all goes well in the long run, a job you cannot get fired from.  My professor is a rather witty Asian man who actually keeps class semi-interesting and as he is flipping through the power pointpresentation, my friend says, " Ya I bet this guy gets high ALL the time!"  Umm. Agree to disagree. I would bet against the fact that this 40 year old Asian professor has EVER gotten high... let alone that he, "gets high ALL the time."  Not everyone smokes weed.  Not everyone is high. In fact a very small percentage of people actually smoke weed on the regular. You smoke. That's cool and all... but it doesn't mean that everyone enjoys weed as much as you may. To make things clear I am not anti-smoking weed by any means. Just wonder if anyone shares my perception.
