No, since if it was like opium it wouldn't piss me off. Anyhoo:
Ranting... Drug Laws. I cannot STAND drug laws. "You mustn't smoke that grass, it's evil." But the thing is, they don't even think that. They just don't want people smoking pot since Hemp would put everyone out of business if it was re-legalised. The model T was: Made from hemp plastic, fueled by hemp fuel, and payed for by revenue from hemp, not to mention the upholstery, etc, etc. The average car today is: Made of oil, fueled by oil, upholstered in oil, and probably payed for by oil as well. It's not hard to put two and two together here: there's a LOT more potential for hemp then oil, but it would cost the oil companies a lot of money. I don't see why they don't just make a lot of it, personally, but eh... Anyway, yeah. There's a lot of inconsistency in drug laws, too. Pot is illegal, but for some inexplicable reason (here at least), Salvia Divornum isn't. I'm not complaining, but does this strike you as a little odd? Especially considering that:

It would seem that salvia is a little more potent here, no? This is sort of... Odd. Not that I'm surprised that they're... odd... about it. That's just the way they are.

... it's fun. He's a really good friend and a cool guy. I cant see why everyone hates emos before they get to know them. I only hate emos if they actually complain about life and bleed on the school furniture. That was my rant of emos and emoness.
