I don't advocate for weed much, but to be honest why should someone give a shit what I smoke? People should be free to do what they want as long as they dont hurt others.

same. Though it's 'annoying' for want of a better word, when people say it's 100% safe blah blah. I stole to pay for pot, my buddies stole to pay for it, a few of them went on to smack (and died), I have a lifelong friend who is a mental vegetable thanks to it (all he does is smoke, no other drugs). Just like everything it's about moderation, etc etc. Blanket statements are dumb.

Also a pita all the 'weed is our saviour' shit, but... I do get that - you don't hear from drinkers how great a few beers are after a hard days work, because it's perfectly legal almost everywhere in the world, so much like teh gays have to proclaim how great it is to suck another man's cock, to make it acceptable to the many people who think it's wrong, the dopehead stoners are in the same boat.

Conclusion: stoners have a lot in common with homos :winkwink:

So, this is like taking magic poison from evil witch. After you drink it, surely you are so happy that you did, as you are under the spell. Addictive substances work the same way. :)

Fuck, you're retarded. You're the perfect example of what being an ignorant, judgemental dousche fucktard does to the world.

I suggest massive quantities of marijuana to cure you of your chronic dickishness.


Great post! This is exactly what I and many others have been saying. Marijuana IS a medicine, along with a recreational drug, and depending on the strain (type) of weed it will have differant effects.

Man, I WORK all damn day long (and night, too) so if I smoked body high Indica (as opposed to head high Sativa) I would be a stoned-out, couch-lock hippie cliche. LOL But I am not (sorry Haters) as I am motivated, successful, energetic and just plain awesome person. :)

As I said, pot ENHANCES whatever mood you are in - if you get the right strain to match that mood. Education is your friend. :)

The bullshit going on in DC with congressional Republicans (big surprise) threatening to jail the mayor over a law that was passed with 70% vote by the people is pretty reprehensible. These are your public servants, there to be your parents when you don't know any better.

This thread proves 2 things to me:

1) People who hate weed are the ones who need it the most

2) GFY'ers hate anything they aren't making a referral bonus on.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Umm, Alcohol destroys braincells as well you know that right?

no doubt. excessive alcohol consumption will over decades, shrink the brain and can result in dementia.

Except for all those "stoned while driving" cases I've heard about. Smoking up and getting behind the wheel is just as frowned upon by the po-po as having a high blood alcohol level is.


As to this "hate" thing all I'll say is this. No one who has seen the first three Cheech & Chong movies could possibly hate pot.

Haha! True! They had a marathon on a while back and I saw them all. Was I stoned? Actually not really, just a wee whilst working. LOL

But I hear you when it comes to the po-po. My feelings are, because marijuana is still so demonized and any legalization nationwide would be a test of societal tolerances in a way, I would recommend extremely severe penalties for anyone caught smoking and driving (or handling heavy machinery, stoned at work, etc). It will take perhaps a generation or two before America, as a whole, learns to handle its' high. :stoned

idk weed is good for you and your soul. shmoke and a pancake?

everyone has a vice, some more serious than others. Mine is fast food, eat that shit far more than i should but not enough to make me unhealthy, in fact i've just lost about 20 lbs since january and close to where i should be. The difference here is I don't go around digging up random articles blogs, obscure studies trying to prove that fast food is actually good for you and you can realistically lose weight while eating it! Do you guys understand the difference here? I'm sure some of you could come up with an argument that it's even less harmful than fast food, maybe enough to convince me, but you can't convince me or anyone that it is good for you or anyone, especially when it comes to short term memory and production loss.

That being said, if I can lose weight effectively while occasionally eating fast food, you can definitely be productive and have a functioning intellect despite moderate weed use.

fast food is legal though

and kills way more people then weed

that is why people have to dig up articles

The craziest point I don't understand is the ILLEGAL concept... You don't like it or want it around your family... Fine... But does that mean I should go to jail? My friends should go to jail? That's the point... Jail. Who should go to jail and why?

Sky diving is dangerous. Rock climbing, scuba diving, driving a car... Dangerous. Weed is not.

Sending parents, grand parents, kids to jail for weed is just hateful.

.

Illegal isn't synonym for jail..well.. maybe in US it is.

goddamn these gummi bears taste good.

:stoned:stoned:stoned

Yup that's true.

The legalization of marijuana has nothing to do with the advocation of its use, but rather in curtailing the violence associated with the black market, which is the inevitable consequence when you restrict the sale of a product or service that's in demand.

When you can admit to the fact that marijuana and other drugs will *always* be around, you then have to ask yourself, who is it that you want to control the market place? Cartels and gangs? Or legitimate businesses. Cartels and gangs lack legal arbitration, and instead rely on illegal means (violence) for solving disputes. This is why drugs and violence go hand in hand; it's not the drugs, it's the illegal environment.

Not to mention, on a philosophical premise, what one ingests into his or her own body should be their decision, as long as they are not initiating or threatening the initiation of force against another person or their property. If a stoner gets behind a wheel and mows down a few people, bring them to justice. If a stoner smokes and harms no one, action shouldn't be taken against them; and that's inclusive of any drug they're on.

Prohibition does not work.

Let me take a wild guess...your father was an alcoholic who beat your mother right and you are following in his footsteps.

Thought so.

Thanks for posting that vid!! Great post too. It is good to note that, with a few obnoxious objections, most here seem to fall in the "Do what you want but don't bother me" camp, which goes hand-in-hand with legalization. So that's a good sign. LOL

Prohibition does NOT work so here's my pithy theory as to why weed is still illegal:

1. Weed makes people anti-war/peace lovers, thereby creating resistance to Gov't and Corporate power. It makes people THINK and "the Man" does not want that.

2. Weed replaces many pharmaceuticals, thereby cutting into Corporate profits. A highly medicated (by seriously intense chemicals) population is a controllable population (irony?).

3. Gov't and Corps benefit financially from the War On Drugs (jails, police, weaponry, etc). But even if it can be shown that they can make even MORE money by selling and taxing marijuana they will resist because of reasons #1 and #2.

Money and Power. Isn't it always the same story?

Did someone say PANCAKES?

:xomunch :cool-smil :rasta :stoned :food-smil10

I smoked "hash" since i was 13 until i was around 20 and stopped when the paranoia got too much. A few years later and i have had all sorts of problems with anxiety that still plaque me and i blame cannabis 100%. On the other side my best friend started smoking it with me and still smokes it to this day. He is perfectly normal. Why is this?. The honest truth is if you have underlying mental health issues like depression, anxiety, psychosis etc then cannabis will bring it to the forefront. There is no other explanation on why it brings some people mental health issues but no others. When i was in the hospital for my panic attacks, a lot of people were in there for similar things and they also believed it was cannabis related. Would these mental health issues have presented thereselves at some point in life if the person hadnt smoked weed?. Who knows. Cannabis in itself doesnt cause mental issues, its the person smoking it cause if anything like that is there then cannabis will just speed it up and make it worse

Mari is the shit.

Well hash is quite different than marijuana. It is super-potent and some hash strains are so intense I cannot go near them. In fact, even when I mix hash with weed it gives me a slight panic attack. It speeds up my heart, I can't breath as well, it freaks me out.

I have tried many, many different types of hash in my life and I almost always regret smoking it. LOL Try some good ol' fashioned mild Mary Jane instead of hash - but for God's sake don't mix it like most Brits and Europeans do. LOL Mixing it with tobacco freaks me out more than hash does! :)

You're smart enough to know that people are answering a question you asked. They may not necessarily agree with the provided answers.

This thread needs some facts.

Cannabis: the facts - Live Well - NHS Choices

The point he missed is I have zero problem with people's private vices. Just don't preface your vice by stating it's a natural plant/gift from God. Now you're justifying your vice of choice, after all there are natural poisons as well and you chose not to use them.

SuckOnThis
This message is hidden because SuckOnThis is on your ignore list.

Caught those pics on my phone over the weekend where I wasn't logged in, and can't work out whether you quoted me just as an excuse to post some funny pics, in which case lol, I agree with the humour in them, or whether you were trying to make some kind of point by quoting me, and missing my point entirely.

Knowing what a stupid cunt you are, I'm going for the latter :) In case there are any other stupid cunts here - my point was blanket statements like "it hurts literally nobody" are dumb, just as if I'd said everyone steals to pay for weed, just because I and others did; or that everyone who smokes ends up a mental retard, just because my buddy and suckonthis did :thumbsup

Thanks for explaining it further! I agree but my point was many condemn weed but support Big Pharma and seemingly have no problem with the endless drug commercials with their terrifying side effects.

Those tv commercials are fucking terrifying: "May cause death", "Uncontrollable limb movements may be permanent", etc etc. Yet all those happy, smiling dopey faces hawking this or that chemical. Yet marijuana is a plant with very little side effects with zero chance - ZERO - of death, permanent limb loss etc etc.

Anyway, it's snowing in NYC (again - enough already!) so time for a bowl. :rainfro

Some people hate gluten. But they don't demonize it the way weed has been demonized. Even hard drugs don't seem have as much negative propaganda as good old marijane.


lol @ 2:06 - 2:14


Anyway, I'll answer the thread title with another question. Why does anyone hate anything? It's learned.

:2 cents::2 cents:

(kidding)

Because there is only one step from marijuana to other hard drugs

do hard drug dealers first drug test you to make sure weed is in your system before selling to you?

alcohol is as much of a gateway drug...

'other hard drugs' :1orglaugh

Yeah, self-righteous pot smokers can be really annoying.

Yeah alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs...I was addicted to daily IV heroin for quite some time and so I went through my share of rehabs and the alcoholics usually came in just....terrible, their brains would be mush and the withdrawals from alcohol are INSANE, alcohol (along with benzos) withdrawal can kill you. I seriously feel for anyone that is addicted to alcohol as I can only imagine the pain that they go through everyday, it's no joke.

Yeah, self-righteous pot smokers can be really annoying.

yea plus they are all high repeating themselves

Ahh so because there is some evidence of health effects of one that makes it ok to dig up articles that are fringe science to back up their claims?

No...

Not picking on you hear but one thing is clear in this thread, not one pot head here can argue a sound point worth a shit.. It's just one red herring argument after another. NONE of us are saying it should be illegal, NONE of us here are saying taking prescription drugs for everything instead is healthier. NONE of us here are saying its going to kill you. NONE of us here are saying alcohol is better in any way. We are ONLY saying its not healthy and preaching that it is is nothing more than denial of religious proportions because THAT is backed up by nothing at all other than in some extreme pain cases.

btw, anyone claiming that people who choose not to use it are brainwashed you have entered the realms of religious levels of denial...congrats...
