You've never smoked weed, have you?
The idea that it makes you goofy and stupid can be more easily applied to alcohol.
Stereotypes are created to misguide people.
Just saying...
Yes, I am well acquainted with weed. I didn't say goofy & stupid, I said happy & passive. Although happy is a stretch and was referring to Soma. Weed is not a drug to get intoxicated on and overthrow a government. Ever smoke crystal?
I was just trying to show the similarities to a more accepted mind-altering substance.
Weed smokers get stereotyped as having all those traits, but it isn't as incapacitating as people might think. Alcohol is, however.
I took a small hit of meth once and couldn't stand the taste or smell. I avoid chemicals because you never really know what's in there. Grow your own weed and you're safe.
Overthrowing governments requires thinking outside of the box when planning, and weed is very good for that. You just have to understand the phases of the high and use them to your advantage.
BTW, Huxley wrote about mescaline, not weed.
