Marijuana haters are really annoying.

[devilgrrl]

It's that simple.

:smoke:

[EFerrari]

1. Yeah, they are. Craig Ferguson is in recovery and he calls them out all the time.

[tridim]

4. Wasn't he a coke user?

[EFerrari]

6. I think he was an equal opportunity consumer.

:)

He talks about alcohol and about pot, too.

[John Q. Citizen]

12. Booze plus

[EFerrari]

54. Sounds like a discount outlet. I guess, it is!

[crimsonblue]

33. um he's an alcoholic, not a struggling former pothead

he just likes to poke fun at the illegality of pot. And besides, he's really fucking funny when you're stoned.

[tosh]

2. Aren't they, though?

:smoke:

[Sarah Ibarruri]

3. Marijuana haters are just ignorant or illiterate, that's all...

I don't use marijuana and only have a drink now and then, but it's clear to anyone who lives on this planet that drinking is the biggest danger, yet it's marijuana that is illegal, while drinking is fully legal and allowed to continue being the cause of deadly accidents and murders. By mortality standards, liquor should be illegal.

[Hello_Kitty]

7. They tried that and it didn't work

Just like it's not working for drugs. Well, I mean, unless you're profiting from "the War on (some people who use) Drugs".

[Sarah Ibarruri]

15. The tried making liquor illegal you mean? Yes I know. Lots of rich people make $ from liquor...

so that was bound to be short-lived.

Neither should be illegal, really, but if one is to compare, liquor is the bigger danger to humanity.

[Hello_Kitty]

19. Oh god yes

Any cop will tell you, if he's being honest, that alcohol causes FAR more problems than any drug.

[Thothmes]

17. It was at one time in this country. See how well that worked out.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

18. Maybe marijuana haters are drunks lol They don't like prohibition....

but they do like marijuana being kept illegal.

[Thothmes]

34. Actually, booze was never illegal to consume

the XVIII Amendment prohibited manufacture, transportation, or sale of alcoholic beverages, but not the consumption of booze. I think that is why modern pot laws make it illegal for the individual to consume the stuff.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

39. Interesting. I didn't know that.

Marijuana should be legal for anyone over 21

[Thothmes]

68. Would have no problem with legalization if it was regulated

similar to booze and tobacco.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

82. I agree with you. It's such a lie to keep it illegal. Wonder if the liquor lobby is involved nt

[JonLP24]

85. Pretty much the right to consume was protected by the constitution

Until the late 60's with the creating of the FDA and drug classifications.

[roguevalley]

37. I hate marijuana. It stinks and it can fuck you up. Other than that, I don't

care. :) To each his own. Unless you are flying the plane I am in. :)

[devilgrrl]

40. "Unless you are flying the plane I am in." What would bother you about that?

That the pilot would land the plane safely?

Oh, I get it. He'd be too stoned to fly it correctly.... yeah, uh-huh, sure.

[roguevalley]

47. It could happen. nice graphic for your little snark.

[bertman]

66. Speaking of PWS (piloting while stoned), while I was in Vietnam I was assigned to

an aviation battalion (helicopter unit). My unit's job was to provide coordination between the choppers and the units on the ground. We were on the ground with the grunts. They were in the air ferrying us in and out or providing air support, medevacs, etc.

Because I spent a lot of time with the pilots I was friends with a bunch of them, including some of the best slick and gunship pilots around. The gunship guys flew Cobras and C-model Hueys on every kind of mission imaginable, from close support of grunts in firefights, to escorting slicks into and out of LZ's (landing zones), to perimeter security around base camps. They did this day and night and were on call whenever the shit started happening.

Every gunship/Cobra pilot I knew and most of the slick pilots were stoners. We're talking about get up in the morning and burn one. And keep a buzz going all day and until bedtime.

I've seen these guys do rocket runs at night with pinpoint precision on VC that were twenty-five YARDS in front of our position. I've seen them doing acrobatic turns (aerial ballet is more like it) while maintaining continuous fire on enemy positions, usually in pairs, but sometimes three and four to a team. AND THEY WERE SMOKING SOME REALLY GOOD SHIT. Passing joints in the cockpit. Oh yeah.

So I don't worry so much about somebody who's stoned flying an aircraft that I"m in. Now, piloting while drinking, NO WAY.

I know that probably doesn't change your mind, roguevalley, but I love telling that story to the reefer-revilers.

[roguevalley]

105. I revile reefer, as it is said, because it stinks and because I am

asthmatic. :) I truly cannot get over how much it stinks.

[CanSocDem]

106. Good story.

Same as 'driving while stoned'. Cannabis just makes things a lot more....compelling?

.

[reggie the dog]

61. are you advocating flying a plane high????

you cannot just cruise slower in a plane......

[devilgrrl]

65. No. I'm insinuating that the fear that someone should is rather over-blown.

:popcorn:

[immoderate]

43. I hate ice cream with nuts in it.

I like nuts, and I like ice cream, but separate. If you like it I'm OK with that.

--imm

[Sarah Ibarruri]

108. What about the fact that there are bars in airports? Does that seem okay to you?

And hey, I, like you, don't use anything except a glass of wine with dinner now and then. However, stats show that marijuana is not the drug that causes a monstrously high rate of murders, accidental deaths, car crashes, etc. That's all I'm saying. That in a test of which is bad, alcohol comes out on top and marijuana doesn't even come in second. And yet alcohol is QUITE legal.

[lynnertic]

95. Marijuana is anti-fascist and legalizing it would entirely upend the world.

I think our country needs it desperately. The world is already upside-down.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

109. That could be true. Alcohol makes one violent, insane & f'd up,, while marijuana makes one relaxed

That doesn't go along too well with the cowboy, punitive, capitalistic society. :-)

[lynnertic]

114. Furthermore, alcohol destroys your body where pot heals it.

I want to see an America full of healthy, happy people at peace with themselves, their environment and each other.

We'd put the jailors out of business

[Hello_Kitty]

5. What happened to Phelps is bullshit.

MJ is not an athletic performance enhancing drug and if you can get banned for that they should ban you for drinking too. But that'll never happen.

[stillcool]

8. Too many haters...period.

people suck.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. !

:thumbsup:

[JuniperLea]

9. They could use a batch of brownies...

To adjust their attitudes.

Big Pharma hates the weed, so does Big Health Insurance. I'm betting there are some lobbyists working for the fabric or cotton industries too.

Yet you can legally get stinking drunk every single night, rot your liver, etc. Smart, huh?

[Mugweed]

13. You forgot the paper and fuel industries

Remember, it was Hearst who funded "Reefer Madness" and all the negative propaganda because he saw hemp as a threat to his huge forest holdings...supplying the material to make the paper that he used to print his propaganda. The oil companies aren't too fond of it either, since it can also provide a cheap and clean alternative to fossil fuels.

What I'm tired of is people asking to legalize it for medicinal purposes. Screw that, it's not what happened during the Prohibition. People weren't in the streets asking for medicinal alcohol. They were proud to want to get intoxicated.

[JuniperLea]

23. It's a multi-use, organic, cheap, fast-growing miracle of nature!

But... yeah...

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o-oh I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
Oh no no no no no
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go....
Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
Oh no no no no no
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o-o I wanna be sedated
Just put me in a wheelchair get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers I can't control my toes
Oh no no no no no
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go...

69. Gabba Gabba Hey!

:hi:

[Arkansas Granny]

29. It's really a shame that people's fear and ignorance about marijuana

also prohibits the production of industrial hemp, a very useful renewable resource.

[JuniperLea]

46. Fear and Ignorance

Yeah, those two things screw us all over more often than not.

[Z_I_Peevey]

10. Annoying would not be my first choice of word.

Clueless. Cruel. Sanctimonious. Tightassed. Hypocritcal. Regressive. Stupid. Foolish.

And boring. They are boring.

[Loge23]

11. Smokin' Gold

The Phelps incident, to me, is the greatest endorsement of this wonderful herb!
If a young man can perform to the ultra limit that Phelps has, and still enjoy a toke or two, then what does this say about the propaganda that is always thrown at marijuana?
In our nutsy society, Micheal Phelps could have drank himself sloppy and there would not have been any fallout (barring a DWI of course). But the lad takes a toke in the company of his peers and the Puritans get their panties all in knot.
Legalize It Now!

[Arkansas Granny]

60. Those who are so terrified of marijuana would probably be very surprised

to discover how many sucessful people partake of the herb. I enjoyed mj for over 35 years on a daily basis (quit a few years ago due to drug testing at work) and managed to raise 4 children who are decent, hardworking members of society, went back to school for a 2 year degree and made the Dean's list each semester and worked full time at jobs that required a high level of accuracy and responsibility and have always had one of the lowest absentee rates among my coworkers. I know a great many people who have similar stories, many of them in professional fields.

The people I know who have really messed up their lives with chemicals did it with alcohol, meth, cocaine and prescription drugs. Go figure.

[ixion]

14. indeed... annoying in the extreme

because they tend to want to ruin the lives of pot smokers forever.

It's a horrible way to run a society, IMO.

[WonderGrunion]

16. I hate all smoking.

But I agree that pot should be legal and regulated.

[eridani]

24. Don't forget the brownies

Also Captain Yoda Keebler's Very Special Chocolate Chip Cookies.

[WI_DEM]

20. live and let live is my motto

if you don't care for weed, that's fine. If you do, more power to you. Doesn't matter to me.

[cherish44]

21. Marijuana is a gateway drug!!!! (gasp)

One day you're smoking pot and a couple days later you're shooting up heroine! I don't personally know any pot smokers who have gone on to use hard drugs. I do know more than a couple alcoholics though.

[Rob Gregory Browne]

22. Alcohol is a gateway drug

The gateway to death.

I wish this world would get a clue that drug abuse is a medical problem and not a crime. This whole Phelps thing is just ridiculous.

[Uncle Joe]

25. Breast milk is the gateway drug,

whether you get it from your mother or a some four legged hormone addicted bovine, the search for relaxation never stops after that first calcium high.

[pipi_k]

86. It gets even worse than that....

I've seen people actually overdose on turkey, looking for that Tryptophan high.

Pretty soon they're hanging around the deli counters, stalking turkey farms, stealing drumsticks off the Thanksgiving tables of honest citizens...


Literally selling their souls for a cheap thrill and a 45 minute tryptophan nap.


:scared:

[WonderGrunion]

26. If marijuana were legal.

Then marijuana smokers would likely never meet a dealer of harsher drugs. The gateway would be closed permanently.

[LostinVA]

32. I hate those stupid anti pot ads on TV

They are so stupid and so not true.

If they HAVE to have anti drug ads on TV, why not target the drugs that DO destroy a person: meth, heroin, etc.

[Occulus]

80. Didn't they try that?

I remember a series of anti-heroin ads that featured someone- a young man or teen, I think- actually high on heroin.

It was so disturbing to viewers that they stopped airing it.

Says a lot, doesn't it?

[mitchum]

41. Refined sugar is THE gateway drug, but don't expect those hypocritical motherfuckers...

at Kellogg's to quit loading their products with it.

[tavalon]

99. Funny story, I know three people who's gateway drug was LSD

One of them still hasn't gotten around to trying pot. BTW, each of these individuals, just like most occasional use pot smokers are upstanding citizens. Pot makes me antsy so I don't use it personally, but I would stand up for anyone's right to have it and use it.

[eggplant]

28. I love Jon Stewart's bit about this

Marijuana doesn't lead to harder drugs -- it leads to carpentry. "Dude, do you think we can make a bong out of this coffee table?"

[otohara]

51. He Also Said Kids Should Do Better

in school, so they understand hydroponic later on.

[Zodiak]

116. That's Dennis Leary

"Pull the bong over, I'm gonna take a hit"

[Fireweed247]

30. I think making Mary Jane legal and available would save lives

A 14 year old in my town just died because he stole his grandfather's pain medication and Overdosed. Children who cannot find a little herbal fun are instead huffing horrible chemicals. And meth! Yuck. Back in the day when pot was more easily obtained, kids didn't turn to these horrible alternatives. I think rather than being a gateway, it is the way, and the other real drugs with horrible side affects are more easily passed up.

[WonderGrunion]

35. Even if marijuana were legal

I don't think it would be accessible to minors. At least not legally. Just like alcohol and cigarettes.

[cbc5g]

31. Self righteous pricks like to make themselves feel better by condemning phelps

then later that night they get trashed on alcohol. No one ever says "Yeah man last night I got WASTED on this weed i got!!" ...nope we reserve getting really fucked up and wasted to the legal drugs/alcohol. Our society is OK with that.

[slay]

38. Yeah this Phelps stuff is seriously pissing me off! Dude won 8 gold medals - so what if he smoked

a bong? So. Fucking. What. OMG - this is why weed needs to be legal so these assholes and greedheads will not be able to use people's consumption of marijuana against them. Lots of my friends are like - "I don't care if it's legal, we get good quality shit all the time." This - right here - what they are doing to Phelps is why is MUST become legal. What they are doing to Phelps is an OUTRAGE. Is he not allowed a private life???? Are any of us? Do they well and truly own us 24/7 now? I read yesterday that he is considering NOT competing in the 2012 olympics because he can't even be himself anymore - always worried about what others might think, what pictures they might take of him, etc. We live in a country that actively causes harm to our own people, and evidently we're OK with that. Well I for one am NOT. :mad: :grr:

[Kellen RN]

70. I kinda hope he boycotts the london games...

I mean he has an opportunity to stand up for himself and MILLIONS of people around the world. Think about it... I know the guys livelihood is kinda on the line here, but so are the livelihoods of millions of americans. His accomplishments are great I agree. But I work in a pediatric ICU and save children's lives. I have seen more kids die in a week than any person should see die in a lifetime. My job is high stress, and several coworkers and me have reminisced about the days before we had our jobs and degrees and liscensures... you could ease a little stress with a doobie before bed. However, I can longer partake in the one intoxicant I have ever truly enjoyed, and neither can my coworkers. But I digress... as Peter Tosh once sang "Legalize It".

[Z_I_Peevey]

36. Think of the $$$$ to be saved as Boomers age--

Granny could grow her own pain meds!

[Blue_In_AK]

42. Yes, they are,

and clueless, too.

[stuntcat]

44. yep

there's like a MILLION REAL BAD HORRIBLE THINGS going on in the world. Marijuana is not one of them except that it's being illegal means it's part of the dangerous drug trade.

[Urban Prairie]

45. I smoked pot for decades

Then quit 6 years ago. I still have occasional cravings for it, and went through a bit of withdrawal, even though I never was a chronic daily smoker. The THC content, with maybe the exception of hashish, is waaay higher now than it was when I first tried it in the late 60s. I wish that I never had smoked it to be honest, as it was, just like getting drunk, something that was fun to do while still a student, but after getting married and having children, it is "high" time to give up getting wasted, IMO. I do not have any children BTW.

Has anyone here seen hashish being sold in the past decade?

I am long outside of the illegal drug loop, and haven't smoked any of it in about 20 years.

[noiretextatique]

48. you must have been smoking A LOT

to experience the feeling of being drunk from marijuana. i have been smoking for decades too, and i've never had that experience. thank goodness for medical marijuana in california. you can get hashish at the cannibis clubs here.

[Urban Prairie]

52. Never mentioned that being drunk is the same as being high...

Two different experiences, unless they are both done at the same time. Personally I preferred the pot over the alcohol, never felt like I was too impaired to drive a vehicle with just an MJ high, no matter how much of it I smoked at one time.

[noiretextatique]

53. sorry...misread your post

no, the feeling of being high is nothing like being drunk.

[krabigirl]

50. you can smoke without "getting wasted" you know

[noiretextatique]

55. i hate being really high

i don't do that anymore...a few puffs does the trick.

[krabigirl]

59. same here

[TWiley]

107. Only if you smoke REALLY SHITTY pot

most modern varieties will get you hammered in one or two tokes. Evidently you are not cool enough to find the good stuff. Sorry about your disability.

[Greyhound]

62. If you think the pot today is that much better than the pot then,

you didn't know where to get the good stuff.

p/s I live in Oregon (most of you know what that means)

[noiretextatique]

64. i certainly do

it means you are in heaven :7 i wish is could get some varieties i could get back in the day, e.g., acapulco gold and panama red, etc.

[Greyhound]

67. My mouth is watering.

I caught the tail end of the golden era, but remember it well...

which is kind of surprising, considering...

:hi::hippie:

[reggie the dog]

63. with all the stateside growing now

homemade hash is selling for 15 to 20 a gram in Chicago. It is green hash.... really really good. Over here in Europe good Lebanese or Moroccan goes for 6 euro a gram.

[martymar64]

91. Bought some hash about 6-7 months ago

It was very nice to have some. It seems the only time it comes around is when we're fucking around in the Middle East.
I prefer the herb because it helps alleviate my depression. Alcohol only makes me suicidal and anti-depressants turn me into a zombie.

I guess the DEA and the US Gov't just wants me to be miserable.

[krabigirl]

49. seriously

[Bluenorthwest]

56. Ganja haters are just haters

Ignorant, twisted, usually a tad drunk. Uninformed, under traveled, undersexed. Priggish, judgmental, and flat out stupid. Yes they are.

[Missy Vixen]

113. Knock it off

It's nice to know that those of you who consider yourselves too cool for the room are more than happy to put labels on people you've never met and don't know. That broad brush really works for you, doesn't it?

>usually a tad drunk

I'm sober. I drink very little. Most people with the family history of alcoholism I have are careful about their intake of any substance.

The funniest thing to me? Those who refuse to admit that there are habitual smokers whose emotional age stops at the age they start using.

[tekisui]

118. There are many people whose emotional stopped developing.

SOME are habitual smokers, some are not.

I know many people who are habitual smokers who developed very well.

[progressoid]

57. Fear and ignorance

Just another on the list of fears used to exploit people - usu sally ignorant people. Commies, pot, Mooslims, etc.

In honor of Bob Marley's birthday: :smoke:

[KG]

58. they totally harsh out my buzz, dude.

bummer.

[dendrobium]

71. I hate ganja.

Before you jump all over me, I do believe it should be decriminalised. But ganja is not necessarily harmless. The teenagers who smoked ganja tended to be de motivated - they eventually gave up school work or anything of importance. This is not everyone of course, some people smoked and stopped and had no ill effects. Some people have precarious mental health which can be negatively affected by ganja.

Many people say you cannot get addicted to ganja - and obviously it is not in the same league as nicotine or cocaine. There are many people with a dependency on ganja however.

As for Phelps, I am glad he has not been harshly punished but he did screw up. He has a responsibility to the youngsters who look up to him and he let them down. My two pre teen daughters are just starting to swim competitively and I don't want them to think that ganja smoking is acceptable or "nothing serious". His apology is therefore very appropriate.

[Kellen RN]

72. I disagree on a couple points.

The amotivational syndrome thing sounds suspiciously like government propoganda... which it is.

Prior to nursing school (which is when I pretty much dropped the habit) I would smoke while studying for my classes and immediately before tests. I was a straight A student. And not in easy classes. I'm talking Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, Chemistry, Microbiology, etc. In fact far from making me amotivational, I tended to get less bored with the task of studying, something that has always been difficult for me, and often found the content more interesting. I also tended to tune out distractions during tests. This was definitely not the case in nursing school, where I hated studying and got bored easily. Overall I was an outstanding student under the influence of marijuana and a mediocre one when I was straight.

And not saying one thing has to do with the other because I highly doubt smoke entering the lungs is beneficial to overall respiration and stamina, but as far as major damage goes, in physiology lab my professor told me I had the greatest lung capacity among all of his students that semester after a certain lab session which tested this value. Of course I did formally run cross country.

Of course I'm not suggesting your children smoke pot either. I have a daughter and prefer that she doesn't partake until adulthood.

[dendrobium]

73. Everybody is different.

Some people have no problems with ganja. The boys (especially the boys) I knew growing up who smoked regularly all went down the tubes. I am not talking about trying a joint once at a party. The ones who had to smoke every day "to relax" or "to reason". I am in the unofficial ganja capital of the World and it is shocking how dependent many people (mostly male ) are on ganja. (And as a side note can I just say that most Jamaicans do not smoke ganja - this is a stereotype that can be very annoying).

Every morning in my neighbourhood there is a group of young fellows in their late teens standing on the corner of the road, furiously kneading the vegetable matter in the palm of their hand, getting ready to roll their joint. They have been doing this for years. This scene is replicated all over this island. I am in favour of decriminalising all drugs. But I believe that public smoking and use should not be allowed because it can really destroy young minds.

[Kellen RN]

74. I do agree with the public smoking thing is a no no unless perhaps

in designated areas.

Don't you think boys "go down the tubes" more regularly than girls anyways. Maybe those that smoke marijuana do because we make it illegal and thus relegate those that smoke as bad kids. People tend to emmulate the picture that is painted of them.

I am a male by the way, despite my chosen profession, and smoked marijuana at least on a weekly if not daily basis from the age of 13-24, save the 12 months I was on probation for possession of marijuana.

Although I agree that everybody is different, and my story doesn't match everybody else's. However, the amotivational syndrome thing is still a lie force fed to us by the american propoganda machine. And don't forget those that are classified as criminals based on a certain activity, or dress, or hair, or all of the above are more likely to act like criminals.

[JonLP24]

90. Did those boys also drink or where they strictly ganja smokers?

From my experience the ones that only smoked and rarely or never drank where ones with strong heads on their shoulders. Someone like me(Recovering alcoholic) I was in bad shape due to drinking. I put down the bottle and have been living a productive live even though I continued the ganja use.

[Avalon Sparks]

78. WoW - Completely Agree

I feel the same way about pot.

THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I COULD HAVE PASSED COLLEGE ALGEBRA WITHOUT IT!

I hated studying for that class - I had to do the homework and extra problems over and over again before I 'got' it. Being high was the only thing that made it bearable. There is no way I could have focused on that subject without partaking.

I am motivated to do other tasks that are boring (like laundry) with a little buzz on.....too. The periods of my life when I wasn't smoking, are the times I have been the LAZIEST!

[Kellen RN]

76. But thank you for supporting the movement

and I do respect your views on the subject.

I just don't believe that marijuana has anything to do with criminal activity other than it being labeled as criminal by most governments. And there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of very successful people in the U.S. who smoke on a daily basis. I know dozens myself. I would be one if my job weren't so sensitive, more importantly my liscensure.

[dendrobium]

77. It has been a pleasure.

I have enjoyed our discussion. I agree that there is a lot of scaremongering. But ganja is a highly potent substance. I am only asking that people respect it and realise that it is not harmless or that it has no possible negative effect. The Doctors here have isolated an asthma drug from ganja (Canasol) and our grandmothers have been treating asthma with ganja tea for generations.Like all powerful things, it should not be abused. Know yourself. If you find you can't go a day without smoking, something is wrong.

The Rastafarians say it is a sacrament. This means it should be respected not abused.

[JonLP24]

88. No he doesn't have a responsibility to young children

The parents do. He needs to come out with a Barkley book "I'm not a role model" If the kids parents are good parents no need to worry about what Phelps does in his spare time, if the parents are abusive alcoholics then we should worry about them. If it was a video of him slamming shots no outrage, no one saying what about the kids!

[asdjrocky]

75. A few stats from a few years back-

Tobacco 435,000 Annual Deaths
Alcohol 85,000
Pot 0
Based on year 2000 data
http://stopthedrugwar.org/home

Now you have to ask your self, why is something that kills ZERO people a year -personally I think we ought to give two or three a year automatically to the Darwin Awards, but facts are facts- illegal? What's the harm?

It's all a money game. DEA man get his money, government man get his money, local police man gets his money. They know it, and we know it.

We'll still be here after the DEA man is gone. Happy birthday Bob, and party on people.

:smoke:

[Festivito]

79. That happens when you hit people in the wallet. /nt

[Tsiyu]

81. The really annoying ones are the ones who smoke it

or used to smoke it, yet they still support its being illegal.

I know people from every walk of life who partake - doctors, lawyers, successful business owners. When SNL does their predictable "stoners are all unmotivated dumbasses" schtick I just cringe over the ignorance (don't watch SNL for that reason any more.) MJ use does not = unsuccessful life by any means - unless you get busted.

But when a user says "Oh, it's bullshit that you "need" it; haha it's not a medicine, man," I get pissed.

Personally, I have zero appetite. I can go days without eating. MJ helps me eat and keep the food down.

Fortunately, I can't afford smoke nor much food right now, so it's working out well. But then when I get skinny - as is happening - everyone jokes "Switch to meth?"

The true drug tragedy now is not even meth. It's hydros and oxys stolen by kids from Grandma's medicine cabinet. The pharms are the ultimate state-sponsored dealers, spewing out that shit like candy, subsidized by the government as our kids become more and more addicted. And while the little guy with one unprescribed pill can go to jail, the pharms are raking in the $$$$$$$$$$

Americans are, for the most part, idiots who love to control what "others" are doing while they themselves do the legal, but worse shit.

Thanks for this post :smoke:

87. Tried it many times, didn't like it

because it raised total hell with my anxiety and panic disorder, but hey...I don't care if others want to smoke the stuff.


Mr Pip, who was a cop for a number of years, told me that he personally got called to more domestic violence cases involving alcohol than pot.

89. America is a deeply authoritarian country. That's what was at the root of prohibition, and still is

today.

92. I hate pot

Don't like the way it makes me feel :D
But I'm not arrogant enough to think that my opinion of the stuff should by a factor in its legality.

93. I don't smoke pot, but I fiercely believe it should be

legalized and regulated like tobacco.

There's no question about it.

94. Haven't touched it in decades

But smoked enough to choke a horse, or at least make it wish it had a bale of Fritos.

The prettiest Christmas tree I had during my early years was one (well, three, actually) that I
couldn't display in the front window for the neighbors to admire.

110. My mom ended up being an unwitting pot grower once..

when my younger brother had a little plant growing in the kitchen window. He told our mom that it was a baby tomato plant.

She lovingly watered it and tended it like it was one of her own plants.

That was the big problem...

She is a known plant murderer. Not by choice...she's just not good with living things.

So she ended up killing it somehow and then felt all guilty that she had sentenced my brother's poor little "tomato plant" to such a horrible death.

My bro and I still laugh about it to this day

111. Why does Phelps get a suspension and loss of endorsements but Santonio Holmes gets a parade?

At Disneyland! Does Superbowl > 8 Gold Medals?

115. I just don't get this...

The govt talks of debt and all they have to do is decriminalize pot, grow it, cultivate it and sell it, taxing it like alcohol and tobacco, people will buy it legally, it wouldn't take long for the debt to go down just on the tax from the pot alone.

[Cid_B]

117. Thats all right...

I find most potheads to be annoying as well.
