There are a few reasons, here's five: [u]1.) Military Career:[/u] I would like to pursue a career with a stop in the military and continuing on for a defense contractor, one mess up and I can kiss all that goodbye. [u]2.) The cost:[/u] Let's face it, Marijuana costs a lot of money to support. Much the same as cigarettes and alcohol. I never want to have to deal with that expenditure, and would much rather save it to build up a rainy day fund. [u]3.) The Smell:[/u] I don't know what it is, but I find it repulsive. No matter what it makes me gag and want to be somewhere else. [u]4.) The Lack of Productivity:[/u] Most of the pot smokers I know are generally unmotivated, while not a rule and more of a generalization, the desire to just sit around and smoke seems to be very alluring to them. [u]5.) The Alteration:[/u] I hate the feeling of loosing control, it sickens me. Even with alcohol (of which I'm not fond of either) I can't stand letting it "getting the better of me."
