Yes @mickeybeaves I agree to a large extent to what your point is. Yet, me being a parent myslef, I know for a fact that there are things that I just simply never would've understood were it not for my hands-on experience being a father. I never went to the army, but I cannot possibly comprehend fully what it means to defend myself and my fellow soldiers to the death, and later feel regret for killing a human being whom probably had no idea why he was waging war.
PS You don't have to be a stoner to know weed has negative side-effects ;)
