Same as the cahiersdufootball here who issued a false communicate to state Qatar was about to start a Dream Football League every other year, paying insane amounts of money to major football teams from Europe to play in Qatar. It also had a few ludicrous details (players would live on offshore artificial islands to avoid being subject to the local laws, etc.).
The Times covered it and it took them days to admit they had been fooled by their source.

Coffee shops, Red Light District, just not visiting the museum at all
How is it disrespectful?
Why are coffee shops worse? And I'd rather not go to a museum than being a dumbass in there. If someone goes to Auschwitz and takes a dump in the gas chamber, would you still say that at least he went there?
Ah just read doddy's post. Still a dumbass, but much more understandable.
That was going to be my point.
How is smoking weed worse than making stupid jokes about jewish girl in her museum? 
Marijuana is hardly a drug, at least not much worse than cofee or a much less worse than alcohol. It is just hystery and good for business, that it is forbidden.
If more people in the world got stoned reguraly, it would have been much nicer place. 
Edit: Anyway, i agree with Kumazan and what he wrote on the topic. Bieber was just one of the guests, who should respect some unwritten rules and being humble, not some teenage rockstar bullshitting.
Edit2: Oh boy, i just read about that jealous girl. Does Bieber music and personality make this people more stupid, or it is just in them, or they need to mature from it only? (now i know it fas fictional)

I'm not sure weed is not as bad as alcohol and not much worse than coffee.
There are, to put it kindly, some contradictory studies about that. |

Studies have shown that 3-6 cups of coffee per day can greatly reduce the risk of diseases such as heart conditions, diabities. etc. Good news for us coffee-lovers then.
However, studies also show that lack of coffee can for coffee-lovers lead to brain damage, cronical heart disease and mass murder.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

@Aquarius
As well as studies completely opposite.
I can speak from 15year long experience of smoking it regulary and i am quite fine. Of course it is not good for lungs like every kind of smoking and it is not cure to all diseses like many people say, but it does not damage the body and the mind like the lobbists driven studies say and like hysteric society thinks.
This does not mean that i say to people here "Go and smoke it" (it is not that cool in the end), but baning it as the illegal substance and comparing that to drugs like cocaine or heroin (i saw those comparsions) is stupidity. I say legalize it, control the market and put a tax on it. Why should adults over 18 have no choice to smoke it?
It is anyway accepted by majority of society and organs in many countries. Here in Czech Republic, policeman will not even turn his head when smelling it.
There are 99% things worse and more unhealthy than weed on planet earth, beginning with cars and ending with stress.

Well, weed is a herb. Better than chemical shit anytime!
Though that thing about paranoia is true, and (minor) brain damage if you use before your brains are full grown (25 years of age).
I've heard that Acid is completely harmless, though. Don't know if it's true, but I can believe that. |

Paranoia, yes, also the minor brain damage is possible, but i would say only in extreme cases of too much use every day (i used to have friends really becoming "stupid" or bit out of this world). On the other hand, it can cure or ease the bad side effects of many brain diseases and also other problems.
The ointment made from weed is unbeatable by any other when it comes to burns and exemas.
Acid is dangerous from the psychological point of view,you can easily go crazy. Or you can die, because you think that coming truck on the road is second coming of jesus.
That is all again about amount and setting. Same with mushrooms...

You should have someone with you, for acid. Timothy Leary had therapy sessions on weed and LSD.
The only great psychologist ever The rest is all bullshit with mother-fucking. |

Arsenic is a natural and non-chemical substance too, so not all natural things are better than chemicals

Bunch of fucking hippies!
While weed is not necessarily damaging it is hardly something that helps you be productive, and should not be encouraged. Same with Acid and most non-chemical drugs.
(i will say that my halls of residence are known for its drug use, and two of my friends are psychology students who specialize in drugs)

Are you guys seriously considering drugs? I agree with TMM. Weed can't help you, and can lead to taking other things. Acid can make you go insane and kill yourself rather quickly. It's not productive. It can only kill you.

For the record, I've never done weed, alcohol, acid, tabacco, coffee or any other drug.
But this is more to break some myths, that were created by the alcohol market. Weed is "better", less harmful" than alcohol, believe you me
I small question: how many die as a result of weed? And alcohol?
Thank you, good night! |

I agree, but that is faulty reasoning. More people do alchohol than weed. |

And that's what's wrong with the world
Forget the weed for a moment, but alcohol is a killer.
Personally I don't want anything in my body that fucks with my mind, body, brains or whatever.
Alcohol kills millions of people, yet everyone keeps doing it and it's socially accepted. |

You sir, need to have some fun!
Alcohol can even help your cycling performance, if used correctly.
Coffee is also not a drug. Coffee is a plant that contain caffeine. Hats of to you sir if you have never had caffeine, but its not dangerous unless specifically consumed for energy in abnormal amounts.

A Belgian that has never drunk any beer? I can't believe my eyes! Unless you're like 15 or something and it's not legal for you to buy it.
Either way, while I of course agree that alchohol can be a killer, especially in traffic, and can seriously affect the brain as well as the liver, to put things in perspective it can also be good for you when taken in moderation. People often say that one glass of red wine during dinner is healthy for you.

I'm 20 years old. Once someone gave me a beer, but I didn't like it and I passed. That's my experience with alcohol
I grew up with my dad, who's this incredible sports-man, so I drink a lot of milk and water |

You live in Belgium, the second greatest beer nation on earth, and don't drink!
Try beer again now, it will be better. It may take a few times to get used to it, then you will just love it.
The promise of a beer at the end of a ride is better motivation than anything else! In fact a pint can increase the efficiency of a workout by up to 25% (i'll try and find the study online later)
