i can definitely relate to & understand a person, who has never done anything in their life, & knows nothing but the anti-drug message, that they legitimately hate drugs, including pot. i was this way myself, until college. :)

bending ones brain is not a desirable state for lots of people. those of us who love drugs lose sight of their point of view.

:2 cents:

its much less harmful then booze

So stupid.

That only makes people want to smoke more.

I remember in Junior High we would have drug education classes that talked about all the different substances and their effects, etc. All that did was make me extremely curious to see what all the fuss was about.

Sure... simple...

This is why some people might hate marijuana or at least the result of marijuana use:

1. Adults turning into giggling bitches
2. Shameless begging hippies (read: braindwarfs unable to take full responsability for their lifes and situation) that beg or try to manipulate one other to get some bucks for their daily need of infancy.
3. The hipster language these potheads come up with after smoking...
"Yo yo dude are you trippin... chill out man... piece man hihihihi"
4. These small red eyes that you just want to hit hard to make em even smaller,
and these annoying smiles on their faces that you just want to eradicate by hitting it of their faces when you want/need to have - a normal or serious conversation with them.
5. The non-productivity of these slow retards... Too lazy to work for money but at the same time knowing their habits costs a lot of money.... that brings them back to point 2...
where they think it's ok to let other people work for THEIR habbits.

Maybe some people have experiences like above regarding to marijuana users in their enviroment. That is why some people might hate it... Marijuana and marijuana-users are two different things but most people simply have a problem with causalities.

Disclamer: Not every marijuana-user has a personality as writen above. Opinions expressed in the above do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the post-writer.

Again, L-Pink you are smarter than this post (perhaps not on this point?). I did not say weed should be legal JUST BECAUSE it is natural. My point (and you know it) was that the arguments AGAINST weed are so superscilious and filled with DOOM that's it's unrealistic propaganda. The fact that weed grows naturally all over the world, and people do NOT die from it, is a strong argument FOR it, especially when compared to pharmaceuticals and other man-made "cures". C'mon now.

I won't get into a semantic arguemtn wit you Sly so I will concede the point that my thread does 'defend' the use of marijuana. :) However, L-Pink and others are going the other direction, saying just because it's natural doesn't make it ok. Well again, weed is NOT poisonous and is far, far less so than the chemicals people put in their bodies on a regular basis. So rejecting weed because it's natural and grows freely everywhere without deaths associated with it, thinking somehow that weed's naturalness is a negative, is silly to me and NOT a reasoned argument against its' use.

Guess it may have something to do with chronical marijuana users and their constant and never ending sermon about the miracle drug that they preach at any given opportunity?

I can't think of a similar example of somebody taking drugs (insert any) and feeling the need to "spread the word", "turn" the "non believers" into "believers" etc. that itself should already raise some red flags about the alleged "moderation" of such (miracle) drug use.

Was not about weed.

Not using drugs is synonym to doing nothing in one's life?

Go ask Alice was fabricated by a Christian wacko, not a real story.

opium and coca 100% natural and organic. but yes, its only drinking that hinders...

No, the most stupid laws in this tulip-infested kingdom deal with the protection of copyright infringement. Glad that the EU is laying down the law.

yes i read about LSD.
Now here is the french cover of the book:

You can translate the title by "the blue weed"

and what wrong with that ?

Alcohol is totally natural substance and there is naturally alcohol in nature. Certain birds have extra tolerance for alcohol berries, as those berries are important part of their diet.

I am not saying this because I am drinking alcohol right now, there is absolutely no relation whatsoever. :)

Tobacco is also a natural plant whose leaves have been dried, crumbled, and smoked for thousands of years.

Look... a professional acting unprofessional.

That tulip-infested kindom exports for about 5 billion euros of tulips and tulip-like products yearly to all over the world... also to your debt-infested credit democracy.

"Kilju is considered to be a low-quality beverage that is consumed mainly for the sake of its alcohol content. It is most often found at student parties and it has a strong association with the Finnish punk subculture, presumably because of its "Do It Yourself" and anti-authoritarian characteristics. In Finland, only licensed restaurants and the government monopoly, Alko, are permitted to sell alcoholic beverages that have an ABV content of more than 4.7%. Consequently, producing and drinking kilju may be considered a form of anti-authoritarian protest.

Due to its low cost and simple production process, kilju is mostly drunk by low-income people or heavy drinkers[citation needed], such as students and alcoholics. The simple production process also enables underage persons to make it quite easily."

Kilju - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I qualify: as a student, low-income, underage and for the sake of alcohol. Totally natural to get blasted. :)

I understood your sarcasm. You didn't mine. Fail. :)

I just found my new wallpaper, thanks mate!! :thumbsup

Just like a Lawyer to obfuscate and go off topic. Surprising you would take a xenophobic and provincial approach tho, especially coming from Chicago. I blame the marijuana for your prejudiced comments.

"Objection!"
"Sustained!"

Think Star Wars: "Stay on target, stay on target..."

EDIT: Just saw your sig. Barry Goldwater?? OK your comments are not surprising at all.

"Over ruled!"

Because they don't think with their own heads, someone alse is working thru their minds.

My ex gf's brother and his entire group of friends were/are types like that. Besides him i saw a lot of other similar users in my life. In debt; not paying bills; begging for money; manipulative (help me out once more i have this new job starting after the weekend blahblah); lying; on welfare; not thinking about or working towards a self-sustaining situation but Always depending on others; etc... If used daily that shit costs you a couple of hundred bucks a month... low income workers or people on welfare simply don't have the money for it and thus all shit starts...

I don't hate marijuana and i don't think goverments have the right to decide for others if they can or cannot use it...
But i can fully understand that, when you are having a brother or son or whatever acting like above, you can hate that stuff....

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh You're not old enough to drink!:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Main differences between alcohol and marijuana.

Alcohol: get blasted and you are rid of the alcohol during the next day.
Marijuana: get stoned and you will never get rid of the marijuana, as some of it is stored in your body.

Marijuana might be safe in similar terms than straitjacket + some numbing drugs. Thanks, but no thanks. I rather risk getting aggressive and falling of balcony.

In Finland you can drink starting from 18 years old. I am now 18.000001:ish.

WRONG

Main difference is that alcohol is a poison and used as a disinfectant and an sedative. Consumed in large doses will cause organ damage/failure and ultimately death It is also physically addictive and users build up tolerance so more and more need to be consumed leading to addiction - Hello Betty Ford! Not to mention daily countless drunk driving accidents/arrests, domestic abuse, and just plain acting stupid and reckless while sedated with alcohol.

Marijuana on the other hand is not a sedative but a mind-expanding substance so while drinking makes you slow and stupid, pot opens creative thought. No one has ever died from an overdose (although it does increase appetite and can led to obesity for some). It also makes music sound fucking awesome! Highly recommended :thumbsup

Yes, potheads are famous for being intelligent: hence the name. Also, I already said marijuana is safe, just like taking some pills those make you drooling vegetable. Safe.

Drunks just drink, they don't make a tedious apology as cannabis users do.

Better than the name Dickhead which I am sure most people refer to you as :thumbsup

I think this is one of the main reasons people hate weed. They either have bad experiences themselves or they witness stereotypical pothead behaviors. But one could also argue that alcohol is much more prevalent in inner cities and with people on welfare. Why? Because alcohol (as stated) is a sedative. It numbs the pain of....well, life. This is why so many performers have issues with alcohol and end up in rehab. Drinking is the only way they can escape (that, and heroin), to numb their pain and awareness. Then addiciton sets in and they're fucked.

With weed, it's not addictive (habitual yes, addictive no). With marijuana it is an ENHANCER. If you are feeling good, in a happy mood etc, then you will feel even more wonderful. If however, you are in a bad mood or feeling depressed or uptight or scared, it will heighten those emotions, too. And this can freak some people out. This why it's VERY important to know what KIND of weed you are smoking (sativa/head high, indica/body stoned effect) and to be careful where, when and with whom you smoke it.

The irony is that those who prefer drinking alcohol are the ones who could benefit from marijuana the most. :)

Maybe; but it is not so assuring when it comes from angry and distressed gay. Do you read your own posts? I am know-it-all at most. You are just plainly angry and distressed.

I defend what I think is good and right, not promoting the suicide of humankind.

Just highly opinionated actually and yes, I do think that humanity is a failed experiment that will soon be over and the sooner the better :thumbsup

it's like repealing the 18th amendment meets the gold rush of 1849

big fan of the haters here!

cigs are the number one gateway drugs

Ask yourself this: who would you rather hangout with?

A. Drinkers getting drunk, obnoxious, pissing their pants and wreaking of alcohol, belligerant, fighting and waking up with a hangover.

OR

B. Stoners smoking marijuana, happy and laughing, maybe a little hungry, listening to great music and wreaking of pot smoke (okay, you got me there LOL). Hugging and fucking and smiling and loving life, waking up without a hangover.

B B B B B!!!!
(for me)

A: Party
B: Fucking hippies

Although I have seen drunk people smiling, laughing, getting a little hungry, listening great music (as well as sucky music), hugging, fucking and loving life. But it sucks.
Plan A: paaartyyyyy!! :)

But out of curiosity; if you take some violent criminal that crushes skulls at his leisure, will he become as some jolly fellow by smoking pot? You know, as there is not that much fighting with alcohol unless you are violent already.
