    I dont think hash should be illegal and i dont think its dangerous as such, i have other reasons why i included it in my list and its not because taking it is flouting the law. I wouldnt even class it as a drug TBH, i just dont like the affect it has on people, therefore i find people that smoke it a turnoff. Sames goes for other 'illegal' substances.

    :

    I'm not that intolerant of an odd toke but I can see why some girls might not want to get with a regular user for fear that it might go too far. For example my uncle became cannabis dependant and turned into a useless selfish heap of s***. My cousin smoked a lot of hash and ended up having really bad psychotic episodes, (which have included him wielding swords and driving the wrong way down the motorway!) if he even has a few pulls now he goes psycho.

    No. Plenty of people wear black. I don't wear gothy black clothes, just general black. Most of the time they're quite modern, fashionable dresses/outfits. I would only think someone looked gothy if they had corsets and goth-style stuff on. Not just because they wore black.

    Also, people think I wear pale makeup to make myself look paler but I just wear makeup that matches my skin tone. If I didn't, I'd look orange. However, I actually had a taxi driver once tell me I'd look better if I rubbed "that white sh!t" off my face. I then showed him my white arms and explained that my makeup was called "Porceline"..... :p

    I've never understood the appeal of trying to look like you've been working in the fields all day.

    Pale skin all the way please... doesn't have to be associated with any particular music or lifestyle... in the same way that I have long hair but don't actually listen to any 'heavy' music....
