I would choose life.

Now that I am alive I wouldn’t want to miss out on all the experiences I am having.
However, if I were a “spirit” I think I would choose life out of curiosity.

You raise an interesting point here Cassius. How would you know what good or bad was? And even if you did know, how would you know if you would be a good or bad person without first having some experiences?

I would still choose life if this were the case because I try to be a good person, and most times succeed.

You would have to choose to live life because if you did not you would never now what it really is, and to not know what it is would make it hard to make any type of generalization about it.

Plus, as stated by all, you would never get to smoke weed if you never lived life. Life I don't think is suppossed to be something that is easy, I think if it were too easy people would get bored with it and that could cause some serious problems. Not that I personally like hardships in life, but I think you need challenges in life not only to teach you about what life is all about, but also to give your life some diversity.

But then again, comes a question of reality, because I have heard many say that if you are stoned all the time you never really live life like others because you are always in a different state of reality, but IMO reality sucks, and being high is the best way to get away from it. So by smoking, are we trying to get away from life, or just get away from reality?

Damn, I am not even stoned right now and I can still talk about this topic with much enthusiasm and interest.

Much love.

I don't smoke to get away from reality, but to enhance it!

I guess i'd be the only one here to pick no. I wouldn't pick life, unless i looked down from my little storm cloud and saw that most people were doin the stuff to send ya to good ole heaven. Then, assuming from the probabilities that i'd be born as the usual sheep material we humans are, i'd go yeah, give it a try.

otherwise, if i saw everyone down there and saw that jebus had a big dirty red crossout sign on most peeps i'd be like, what are the chances of meeee gettin into the god goodbooks hey? well, looks like that's screwed so i'll stay right up here thank you.

so how would you decide anyway. If you only ever heard the description of life, it doesn't sound all that appealing. the only thing that would make you want to is if you've been there already or something.

also, ithink your responses would vary depending on whether you had a bad day or not, hey?
