Honestly, what the hell do you people see in smoking pot?

Time for fun.
In the studies for memory loss and brain damage, the test requirements were 1) you had to be a daily smoker 2) no smoking for 24 hours before the test, if the person got really fucked up the day before the test and didn't sleep much of course he's going to have problems
No tests show that response times are permanately (sp?) lowered, in fact they show that response times are lowered for only a maximum of about 10 hours after coming off of an extreme high
The gateway drug thing is the dumbest myth ever. It can be proved wrong by simple logic. There are people that would like to do drugs or for some reason more prone to doing drugs, weed is a weaker drug and therefore people try it first then they move up the ladder. Gateway my ass, more like a goddamn step

 

Why do people smoke pot? Because its fun, man. Plain and simple.

 

lzol FUN

 

Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
Tryin’ to get away
From all the ears inside my walls
I dreamed the police heard
Everything I thought... what then?
Well I went to court
And the judge’s name was hoffman

 

hoffman. coughman.

 

I seriously feel you are making connections where none exist. Even if you bought weed directly off of the guy I will call 'I'd kill him myself, if they let me'. The fact he shot and killed four officers had less than zero to do with pot. The media spun it so if you just skimmed the story, it was '4 RCMP officers killed in grow op raid.'
The only problem with that news story, which is how it was reported here anyway, is that it is complete bullshit. Other than that its fine.
I agree with most of your points, just differ in that I say live and let live, and if the majority of people want to be able to sip wine, or have a beer after mowing the lawn.........they cannot logically deny their neighbour the odd puff of ganja. To do so is the epitome of hypocrisy, imho.
I have known a few people who smoke for legit medical reasons. The most compelling is a school buddy with MS. It stops his shaking........ that is something wonderful to see. I imagine that it is a major relief to him to be able to move his hands without them shaking...it would be for me.
News story, "last night at the annual blues/folk festival, aggressive mobs of potheads got into a huge brawl, and went on a destructive rampage down mainstreet."
Who can tell me what is wrong with that scenario. It could only happen if the mob was drunk. 100% guaranteed. Stoners are too mellow to rampage.....
They'd rather putter, or doodle, or, as it says in the song...

I was sittin in my basement
Tryin to roll myself a taste of
something green and gold and glorious
to get me through the day
When my friend yelled through the transom
Grab yer coat and get yer hat son
There's a nut down on the corner
givin dollar bills away..........
So I laid around a bit
And I had another hit
Then I rolled myself a bomma
and I thought about my momma
Then I hung around, played around, jacked around a bit .....
And then...........
I got stoned an I missed it
I got stoned an I missed it
I got sto wo wo woned, an it rolled right by ey ey
I got stoned an I missed it
I got stoned an I missed it
I got sto wo wo woned, oh me oh my.....
Dr. Hook

I haven't heard that song in 15 years at least. Makes me smile every time.

 

hey, "Sieg Heil", Mussolini > Hitler.


and about pot, I guess it all depends upon the smoker.

 

sieg heil, have you ever actually smoked pot?

pot can be bad, but this is the thing. we are all products of our environment. pot enhances whatever is around you. if you're in a bad situation it may seem worse. if you only have negative thoughts in your head then the weed only has this to feed off. likewise with everything that you put into your body. your high will grow from whatever you have given it.

i had a bad time a while ago and i stopped smoking pot as i was very edgy and anxious (not due to the pot, but the pot probably enhanced these feelings) i still smoked when i was having a good day, but left off when i didn't feel so good.

now i have my head sorted out i smoke a lot of pot again and it feels amazing. i take long walks in the sunshine (when there is any) and i am very very healthy. i have even lost weight since smoking gear again as i now feel so happy i just don't need to eat except when i'm really hungry. and i don't put anything in my body which is chemical or preservative, e-numbers et.c. and when i'm high this healthiness is accentuated and i don't want to eat any shit or watch tv, i want to be with my friends and outside and doing stuff, being productive and living my life as much as possible.

and yes, i know smoking isn't healthy, that is my one downfall and something i am working on. but that is because i am addicted to tobacco, once i sort that out i will find another way to ingest weed.

 

If you really wanted to quit smoking tobacco, you'd quit.

 

when u smoke u just see everyyyyyyyyyyyyyyything is WOWWWW

 

HAHAHAHAHA! That is the biggest crock of shit I have ever read!!!
First of all, yes, we all run the risk of getting busted.......but who cares!!! - that shouldn't effect you in anyway!!! Second, I have been smoking pot for 9 years of my life now and I have ALWAYS been a 4.0 student; so don't give me that memory loss shit! Third, and last, it's not a gateway drug!!!! Just because I smoke pot doesn't mean that I am going to go snort a bunch of coke or something! Trying others drug is called "experimenting" and people who want to try other drugs is just because they are curious! - Not because pot lead them to want another drug.
I could argue for hours on this, but why bother when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about!!!

 

Durgs are bad. Durgs are vary vary bad.

 

Burbot - They're fucking cops, who cares what happens to them.

 

but its got a hold on me, its around my neck, it won't let go!!!!!!! NOOOOOOO, it's the CANNABIS man, it's making me smoke more and more, i can't stop it!!!!!! It's making me go crazy...............it's the EVIL WEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

lmao, and who said drugs are bad...drug is such a negative word...who ever said smoking a reefer could be bad... that's how J.R.R. Tolkien wrote Lord of The Rings (one of the best books ever to read "if" your high.) And tree burning dude leave my forests and my reefers alone!!!!

 

eh...i was just feeling quite bitter about all the "its not our fault its illegal" stuff...that basically why i said so...

i do agree to that it can be a powerful tool in aiding the suffering to those with medical problems



but thate line about beer/wine etc has really no impact on me, cause i want to see the illegalization of alchhol as well...i think its cause some of the most serious problems in todays times...

 

oh yeah...BG, how was it reported? how do you mean spu badly, i do agree it was spun, but how do you mean? you must watch too much Globall news... i hate those guys

 

not all of us smoke pot.Thats a streo-type.

 

well I have to say I'm "a" streo type. It's a long story...I was "raised" by a hippy yeah never mind...(a really long story...)
