If however you like a gentla buzz, a pleasant high that perfectly coexists with Disney parks and all of the entertainment available therein, then go for it and enjoy. >Don't contribute if you don't agree?< I don't know where that came from, but I never said anything like it. What I said is that some people are getting so upset by this discussion that they're posting rants instead of measured discourse, and that's both not healthy for them and not enjoyable for the rest of us.

(in my opinion) however if they are slightly buzzed by whatever, pot or alcohol, and not causing any trouble then who would even know or care. obviously smoking on a ride did get someones attention.
Originally Posted By myinnerpeterpan This topic brings up one big fact and that is, we are all born with free will. We all have the individual choice to use or abuse that will when ever and how ever we see fit. It is our choice to follow rules and laws set forth to protect society, the environment etc… or to break them. I think a person can (legally and reasonable) do whatever they wish in the privacy of their own home, however once you step foot out of your private world and into the public world, the rules of engagement change. Sure if you want to run around your house naked with your boxer shorts on your head…go for it…absolutely…(just don’t do it in front of the in-laws) but I wouldn’t advise doing it in public because there are laws preventing such “colorful behavior”. Naturally there are rules and laws that we don’t agree with or like but hey, too bad, that’s just life, smile and go with the flow. If you chose to exercise your free will in an inappropriate way, then you should expect society to react accordingly (action-reaction). Laws made by our publicly elected officials and rules made by DL state that it is inappropriate to get high or intoxicated in public, and if you chose to break the laws or rules, then there are consequences for such actions. It doesn’t matter if in your opinion you’re not “hurting anyone” or that your experience is enhanced. The fact is that rules are rules, you either follow them or your privileges of visiting the park and privilege of freedom may be revoked. Just because you can, doesn’t necessarily mean that you should. As I and many other posters have stated, there is a time and a place for (almost) everything and to expect people to conduct themselves in a mature, respectable, intelligent manor when in the park or in a public setting, really isn’t asking for much. Go with the flow, follow the “yellow brick road” and life is good :0), but go against that and you should expect a negative reaction. I may not agree with all of the opinions of everything posted to this topic, but I do respect and appreciate them. Life would be a bit bland if all roses were pink, and where's the fun in that?
