how many of you have actually been stoned?

no, not me haha

more like the internet guro's who try to pull in newbs

 

I see, and they claim that their bullshit is scientifically backed up with out explaining the studies or citing the studies they claim are backing them up?

 

i'm not saying anyone smokes pot to be unhealthy, or course its done to be high. and i was just saying that because we're going to be unhealthy in some way anyhow, why not make it a fun way?

but i agree, its unhealthy. but so are a lot of things. is it really that much worse than medicating children for add because they act like any other normal kid, or giving the gardasil vaccine to young girls when its long term effects have never been studied? pot is really no worse than the drugs and chemicals pumped into the bodies of people around the world every day.

 

bingo, or they use rubbish to back up what they say

or, this is a big one

they have no real background in training people

 

I never said i agreed with those things either, though i will admit i have not heard of gardasil.

 

Fitzy you're getting WAY off topic here

 

oops :tongue:

guess i'll have shut it down then

 

I'm guessing that if I decided to purchase an argument and drew you I'd get my money's worth.

When I don my serious hat, apart from realizing it's ill-fitting, I find myself divided over questions of morality related to things like drinking and smoking weed... on one hand I have no end of respect for those with the self-discipline to resist partaking of the temptations out there but on the other hand, I can't take it very seriously when such people preach about the risks of drinking and smoking. Sure there are statistics out there, but statistics are usually used to slant the facts, not illuminate them. The most credible advice can only come from such people as yourself (and me) who know first hand the potential that excessive pot smoking has to mire someone in the mother of all ruts but more importantly that it's not the dangerous drug that the propaganda mill wants people to think it is.

The biggest danger is the propaganda campaigns out there that are easily debunked when someone tries pot and not only questions the information fed to them, but also doubts the credibility of its source. Most 14, 15, and 16 year-olds may well be kids but they most certainly aren't stupid.

 

yes, and i am right now....

 

*nods vigorously*

 

I agree, the propaganda campaigns got me when i was young, they have a counter productive affect because when one finds out that it is bullshit then one begins to believe that the opposite is true and the drug is completely safe, which is entirely un-true.

It is best just to be honest, not glorify drugs or terrorfy teenagers.

 

i hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity, it's just that they've always worked for me.
-the great gonzo

 

weed being unhealthy and the risks of it, is only one reason some people don't smoke.
I've had long ass talks about the exact opposite from people I really respect. The benefits of weed.

In the end, some people, like myself, dont give a shit of the benefits, or the risks. Just doesn't concern me either way. I have my own reasons not to, but it's just a personal thing, not a damning everyone who does it thing.

that said. i really do enjoy saying the word spliff while simultaneously being reminded of easy skankin' :spliff:

 

Twice.

First was about two days before my 17th, in Aug.
Second was about one-two weeks ago.

Was alright, I suppose.

 

Four times. All with my friend Matt, two with Katey and Matt, and one with a bunch of people that gave me all the weed me and Matt smoked.

And yes, I will do it again.
And I ain't gonna do any hard shit, just pot, LSD and shrooms if I can get the last two, and only on occasion.

 

My entire time in highschool was a giant clusterfuck of pot and acid. good times, good times.

 

I'm slightly stoned right now.

 

everyday

 

I am too somehow, lets see I got home from work...

 

You know why pot's still illegal?

They can't remember where they left the papers.
