1. Pot makes a person. . . .

Pot makes one:

Not want to shave
not want to take care of teeth or eyes/eye glasses
Not want to keep hair clean
Not want to keep clothes clean
Not care about one's caloric intake
Incapable of keeping a home/closet to keep one clothes and stuff
Not care about one's stuff

If one wants to stay infantile all one's life - pot is the way to go.

I got all of this from the video AND from personal experience in the 70s. That's all anyone needs to know about pot.

[Mari333]

2. geez I do all of those things you mention and never smoke pot

:)

[CHelms]

3. I'm sure somebody once got high and crashed the car, killing him or herself

I'm just sayin'...

[pattmarty]

12. Well, "I'm just sayin'", that someone was drinking a cup of hot coffee........

...........and crashed a car killing themselves too. God, probably even happened a couple thousand times. For fucks sake, you can even bleed to death if you're not careful shaving.

[asdjrocky]

14. Prove it.

[reggie the dog]

24. It's not the pot then, it is using heavy machienery under the influence

yes people have crashed while high. Was the cannabis the reason? I dont know. at any rate it is not the cannabis that killed, it was the driving while high that may have killed. Alcohol can kill just from an overdose not to mention liver disease.

26. Ban cell phones, then. n/t

5. Bob Marley, Carl Sagan...

...plus 10's of millions of Americans would disagree with you.

15. Bob Marley, Carl Sagan...

I was gonna say.... that Lily Thomlin sure musta had a huge crew to keep her together so she could do all those shows and stuff.

I bet the most pot related deaths come from the fact it is illegal...therefore a very expensive weed (that grows anywhere)that dealers shoot/stab/ go after each other over for the ridiculous amount of money one can make....because it's illegal.


And I'd say Hydrocodone or Oxycodone makes one act like the list above as well. (Look at Rush!) And alcohol is even worse than the list above! I don't know any mean pot heads who beat the wife and children.

[reggie the dog]

25. assholes who beat their family

do smoke grass. a weed smoking asshole is still an asshole, weed cant take that away from someone.

[CLANG]

6. I will admit to not liking to shave

but I'm not sure it has anything to do with pot. The rest of your list doesn't apply to me and I've been toking since 1972!:hippie: :smoke: :thumbsdown:

[ensho]

7. baloney

anyone who does all the things you list, do them anyway. toke or not, they do them.

pot doesn't make you do anything.

[axollot]

8. That's ridiculous. If one is straight up lazy they'll be lazy on pot or not. n/t

[PerpetuallyDazed]

9. As if all that's a bad, "infantile" thing...?

Is that what it did to you in the 70s, or just other people? I know some people who just don't care about what "expectations" are put upon them. If taking pot gets you there, (to where you just don't care about following society's "unspoken rules," as your post implies) I call that a gateway to freedom.

[pattmarty]

10. Did you forget this

:sarcasm:??? Because you really can't be serious.

[asdjrocky]

11. Absolute bullshit.

Some of the most inventive and best people I know are daily smokers.

Cannabis bigot. You have a lot to learn, you should think first before you attack people for something they chose to do that doesn't hurt anyone.

Oh yeah, that internet thingie you're on there, wouldn't have it were it not for pot.

[fascisthunter]

13. IS that Your Own Experience?

get your shit together... and stop blaming pot for it.

[liberation]

16. LOL... the projection in your message is glorious. Esp. the "infantile" part...

I'll give your bait a 7 out of 10. Well played....

[DeSwiss]

18. Welcome to IGNORE

[mitchtv]

19. are you lost?

if not -go away

[sulphurdunn]

20. Oh yea?

Well, being a well coiffed, responsible and sober adult, up to his ass in debt and stressed out to the max isn't all it's cracked up to be either. :shrug:

[reggie the dog]

27. lmao

[OnionPatch]

21. Really?

I know quite a few people who smoke pot and none of these are true about them. Not even close.
Talk about stereotyping.

[reggie the dog]

23. that is bullshit

I shave before work 4 days a week

I often floss my teeth after getting high, as I will do in about 20 minutes

I wash my hair at least 3 or 4 times a week (it is true I may go a month without brushing my long hair during summer break, but it is clean, just not combed)

I do the laundry at my house (my wife and I split chores) and I wash them after we wear them for 2 days.

I don't overeat for the same reason I work out, because I dont want to be fat (also one of the reasons I smoke ganja instead of drinking alcohol)

I have and pay each month my mortgage and have a closet to put my stuff in (I try to grow outside so I dont need the closet for that)

I care about my stuff but if it still works, or fits, I dont waste money buying a new "thing" because I dont believe in consuming just to keep up on the latest styles. (I have hemp shirts that I bought 12 years ago that have no holes so I still wear them, and 12 year old t shirts with some holes that I wear to go biking or to do gardening in the forest.

I am not infantile, hell my 2 year old daughter is not either.... Most of my friends who smoke have their shit together too. So either you are full of shit or people in your generation are just far lazier than gen xers like me.

[GiveMeFreedom]

29. What?

your kidding right?

I can think of way more dangerous street drugs that make your teeth fallout, you hair fallout, your skin fester with open sores, but pot?

[teknomanzer]

33. I can think of some precription drugs that do the same. n/t

[MadMaddie]

31. Last I checked this is America and if someone wants to

be a slacker then that's their business. I don't see anywhere in your list where this (illegal) drug causes deaths directly or indirectly.

If you want to have a real conversation about what is actually causing fatalities in the US then we should look at the following. There is no comparision between someone who may be a slacker and these statistics.

Liquor which is advertised in every form of media maims and kills thousands in America every year.

Medication errors cause at least one death every day and injure approximately 1.3 million people annually in the United States. Medication mishaps can occur anywhere in the distribution system:

32. Bullshit

Bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit... bullshit.

Now excuse me while I light up a big fat spliff, take a shower, and get to work.

34. If that impression derives from persons -

- with whom you are closely familiar or merely acquainted I suggest that you try to elevate yourself socially, inasmuch as you apparently have such a negative opinion of your present circle of friends and neighbors.

I don't know how many people you know who responsibly and discreetly enjoy the effects of cannabis, but I know quite a few and I have known hundreds more in my long lifetime, not one of whom fits the description you have laid out. In this I am not suggesting that there are no low-lifes who smoke pot, because there surely are -- just as there are low-lifes who drink Pepsi Cola and never change their underwear.

The simple fact of this matter is there are many, many people who use marijuana but who do not fit the rather narrow description you've put forth. The problem is you don't know any of them. You obviously know only the other kind, which is unfortunate.

[Ferret Annica]

17. An amusing video, thanks

Cannabis is indeed something less harmful the the laws targeting people who smoke it.

[fascisthunter]

22. here's another rec

[SlingBlade]

28. Hell Ya it has. K & R

[lib2DaBone]

30. Reefer... makes me crazy.. I want to kill Republicans..Eat Chocolate..
