. like you can Tobacco cause anyone can grow MJ and with tobacco it needs to be smoke cured. so it takes like 30 days to cure tobacco.

If you smoke un cured cannabis you are a god damned moron

[Rex]

what does those words mean

^^ Oddly enough, that's what his words mean.

[Rex]

everyone is one word

Not as it's used in that sentence.

Everyone means "all"

Every one means for each one individually.

[1991S13]

I just think it's funny that Rex is correcting people posting in the Marijuana Thread. Sounds like a waste of time if you ask me, unless you remind them every 5 minutes .

Drifter_for_life06, I also wrote a multi-page report on why Marijuana should be legalized for my Issues class. BTW - I doubt it, but did you ever hear anything back from the people you wrote to?

wtf ever, im gonna re-send it

[PoorManQ45]

Post up the document so we can all send it to politicians

[Oatmealman]

ya i'll send a copy to our reps and senators of colorado

[PantherRacer]

aaaah, an influx of the same report sent to every senator in the US in quadruplicate....I think THAT WILL get their attention....

heck you can even get some people to add even more helpful stuff lol. Marijuana shall go the way of alcohol whilst being less harmfull, adn there shall be medical weed for all.

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!

btw...in the club last night there was a whole group of dudes smoking the rawest mj I have ever smelt....hell I think the scent is still in my hair :S

CAREER: My Anti-Drug

my step dad has been smoking pot his entire life, and he still manages to make 130k+ a year

seriously though, its a joke why it cant be legalized. i seriously think i drive better when im high than i do when im straight (and when i mean high, i mean like a 5 on a scale of 1-10, because ive been realllly stoned before and know that i wasnt able to drive)

of course you think that, youre high. that's not a good idea, though it may be fun.

[RyanSinibaldi]

of course you think that, youre high. that's not a good idea, though it may be fun.

yes i think that, and so does my girlfriend who doesnt smoke at all

i have a bad case of adhd, and when i smoke i have the ability to focus alot more when im driving

i dont go out for fun and just drive around high, it just happens sometimes. ive been in situations where ive had to test my reactions while driving when high, and i have performed very well, if not better than when im not high.

Some things I've noticed about everyone I've ever known to smoke weed habitually.

1. They have half the ambition they used to have. 2. They typically become absent minded.3. They talk about it constantly.

I'm sorry but I will never be a pot head. Anyone who says it does not affect them is ignorant to their own shortcoming.

I've heard the spiel from so many, yet they've all been affected in some manner by it. In every single case all I've ever known them to want to do is smoke more weed.

[flohtingPoint]

Marijuana is like Skylines.

-People freak out about it because they're not legal in this country-People pay WAY too much for them-Once you live in a place where they're around you all the time, you realize that they're no where near any form of big deal.

That depends on how much they smoke. It sounds like you're talking about someone who smokes more then twice a day, everyday. Of course they can't do anything, they're always effed up. If you've ever smoked before, and could remember what you did, you'd know that alot of times you'll end up having an intelligent conversation!

1: Nah, people change on their own. Are you comparing apples to apples? Like if they loved getting up and working on their car before they started smoking. Then after they started they just wouldn't work on it much?

2: Everyone is absent minded to an extent. It's called boredom and/or day dreaming

3: Not really. Usually they keep it to themselves because it's illegal. Unless of course you're in their smoking group, then yes they talk about it

[drifter_for_life06]

i was stoned outa my head last night and i drove perfect, no complaints from the 3 passengers....i just concentrate a lot more when im mesed up b/c its easier for me, ive got such a high tolerance and when I need to be collective I can be

i dont know how to pust up my report, but if anyone wants it feel free to IM me on AIM

[NismoGreg]

I smoke weed every day. I drive just as good stoned as I do sober and I should be free to smoke without worrying about the police. Pot also really helps a 60 hr week go by alot smoother. Alcohol is much more dangerous than pot. You NEVER hear of a stoned person getting violent and/or causing lethal car accidents. All the time I hear about college kids that overdose on alcohol and die. If you could overdose on weed you would pass out long before you hit the very large amount that it would take to cause any harm.

And to those that think legalization will somehow 'fix' our economy... 'pfftt... how much of that money income do you think will be consumed in overhead, regulation, legislation... our FDA is having a hard enough time keeping LEGAL drugs on the counters, that people really need, safe and affordable.

Just my '0.02. I used to be at that stage once in my life, and finally just realized one day that it wasn't worth it. Not worth the trouble, the money, or the mental consequences. I don't care what anyone says, I agree 100% with Nismo.

[s1ndicate]

All you people are so supportive of weed, saying it doesn't do nothing, yada yada yada. LEss dangerous then booze. Weed = gateway drug. Maybe it doesn't mess with you people too much for various reasons, but from the point I have seen from people I know. Goes like this:

Friend doing alright in schoolFriend discovers weedFriend stops doing everything and just cares about weedFriend becomes a weed fiendFriend doesn't want to do anything but smoke weedFriend has no job, quitsFriend steals stuff to buy weed to smokeFriend pretty much stops caring for himselfFriend is like 22-23 still lives with parents, no job, just smokes weedFriend now experiments with drugs and isolates himself from everyone.

Seen that happen to lots of people. Weed decrease productivity.

[adrianfromthecastle]

i honestly think legalizing it would benefit a community. There would be less criminals in jail (its not right to put marijuana possessioners with the murderers and rapists), and the government could tax it like tabacco. Of course like alcohol, it should be against the law to smoke while driving or walking down the street. And when it becomes abusive, like alcoholism, then theres a problem for those individuals. But not everyone who smokes pot is an abusive pot head. Besides, i know a lot of people in the professional world who sometimes just need a lil break from the world, and do smoke instead of drink (its a whole different feeling). Furthermore, if you do drive when high, its way safer than driving drunk, some actually drive safer because of paranoia!

Hey if anyone is into the Simpsons, you gotta see that one episode where Homer was prescribed to use medicinal marijuana. Funniest sh:t ever. All the users show up to protest to keep it legal, and found out they were all a day late. lol

[C-Kwik]

I smoke it occassionally. And I will not say it does nothing. Otherwise, I wouldn't use it. Duh.

I am a bit indifferent on it's legality. Although, alcohol is likely more volatile, legalizing MJ would make it easier to get and consume. The fact that it's illegal makes it more difficult to consume. It's also easier to carry around than alcohol. This means if it is legal, it makes it easier to consuime virtually anywhere and at anytime. And if you do get high enough on weed, it can impair your judgement and coordination. It's already difficult enough trying to get people to not drink and drive.

As far as impairing a person's life, it is case by case, as it is with any drug. A person who gets addicted to it can let it ruin them, just like alcohol can for an alcoholic. Though, from what I can tell, MJ isn't highly addictive for most. And I do know many people who are highly intelligent and successful who use it regularly as well. I see a few that are a few bricks short of a wall, but no more than I do with people who drink alcohol, smoke cigs or are even 100% sober. Most substance abuse problems become problems when it starts to control their lives and not the other way around.

As far as using the bible quote, that is about as stupid an argument as I see when people use it to argue against racial minorities and against homosexuals. Jesus apparently turned water into wine. Doesn't mean God wants us all to be drunk.

There really is little you can say, I've seen two of my better friends do exactly what I said to the T.

It DOES affect you, and 9/10 it's negatively.

I've smoked once for the experience, I was out of my mind high, and honestly I don't see the appeal of it. To most people it's an escape, to others it's just social or a wind-down tool.

Very similar to alcohol, in moderation it can be fun and safe. It's when you let it take control of your life that it pulls you down a hole. At least with marijuana you don't have to deal with the constant aggressiveness some people get with alcohol, but you have to deal with someone with a habit that involves alot of illegality.

I drink possibly 2 days of the year, and I will be staggering drunk. However these days are days that I have zero obligation, and zero risk of endangering someone (ie. I'm not going anywhere in a car, and I am around people I can trust to do the same).

I personally see zero reasoning for alcoholism, heavy pot usage, and other addictions. These people are weak minded and allow themselves to get to that point. Often times they use the substance as an escape. The problem is they don't bring resolution.

I say we legalize it, and mediate it's production. Then turn around and tax the living hell out of it and reduce taxation on necessities. We spend billions each year trying to stop it, yet anyone who wants it can buy it in the matter of 30 minutes. Crime syndicates thrive off of illegal drug sales, this would blow their market to hell. The benefits far outweigh the costs in my book.

[PantherRacer]

did it once....I just found my drunk friend as funny as ****..... that night was hilarious....

not really in a rush to try it again though. meh.

[jEzTeR]

drugs are baaaad MMMMMMMKAAAAAAYYYYYY.

[Oatmealman]

i said suck on my balls mr garrison

[sean8564]

Salty is bad MMMMKAYYYY

[hatebobbarker]

marijuana is great for making ointments and stuff to put on soar joints, its absurd that you cant even do that.as for smoking, ive done it a couple times, I dont see anything wrong with it as long as your not baked all the time.

There is this girl I know, so cute, most beautiful eyes ever, but shes baked all the time so I rarely want to try.

[PoorManQ45]

i dont know how to pust up my report, but if anyone wants it feel free to IM me on AIM

Do you know how to post pictures from your computer? If so, you post files the same way. Note that it has to be under 500K, which it probably is

[PoorManQ45]

Um... I'm in the same boat as you. I've smoked a total of two times. Was it fun? Yeah it was a cool experience. Would I do it again? Sure, but I won't go out of my way to do it.

Remember, anything in excess is bad for you.
