If you breathe in smoke while you firefight, there's a problem, and you should consider revisiting training.

I don't so much dislike drug users as disprove of their choices, and consider them to be rather, well, unintelligent. But I'd call anyone who allows themselves to become addicted to something rather dumb.

This I agree with. I cant say anything about the addiction part. I know Im dumb for ever getting started, but I havnt been able to stop dipping tobacco. Been doing it since highschool. So there you have it kids, dont listen to your friends when they tell you to try something. You might just like it.

There's nothing wrong with smoking. You started it because other people recommended it, you kept doing it because you liked it, and you're alive! Who would have thought. People in our society have been so indoctrinated into believing that it's wrong to smoke that we always act like it's a given in discussions about it. There's nothing wrong with it, tell the media to fuck off.

Not chemically, perhaps, but pleasurable things are often addictive, especially if you have an addiction-prone personality. Chips, soda, television, masturbation, all potentially addictive, no matter what the chemists say.

Well, it can be. It can be psychologically addictive. Of course, so can any number of things, from shopping to food- and its much less painful/easier (?) to kick a psychological addiction.

True. I opened a storefront for Cannabis, after discussing with Reppy, I can't disclose any processes on how to make or smoke it et cetera. I just find the OP's argument rather ill. Even in the article they said that it was the canisters that went off. Common sense would've said not to have those in the same place you were cooking. I'm guessing the next argument by the OP is cigarettes aren't harmless...oh wait we already know that.

Plus concentrated THC in hash products makes it all the more psychologically addicting than a joint. It's like the difference between coca leaf and cocaine.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Well this is what happens when you mix idiocy, weed, and chemicals.

Still won't change my position on the subject, Weed should be fully legalized! Not our fault some dumbarse decides to do something stupid.

The hash oil didn't do the harm, just some idiots being careless with their cigarette (which Lord knows this isn't the first time). Same thing can happen at a gas station; should we ban gas stations then? Or how about we just ban the cigarettes? :roll:


Your argument has absolutely no substance. Try to make an actual effort next time you wanna bash ganja.

weed is only dangerous in large quantities when it gives you a mental disease mostly paranoia. you always the get that 1% that smokes excessive amounts of it and suffers as a result. otherwise the stuff is pretty much harmless.

Course could be me, I have quite a few friends who smoke marijuana here. I don't I hate the stuff, I'll stick to my cigars. But, from knowing them, if they saw this they'd laugh at the lack of common sense. Butane canisters, in same room with flame... :palm:

It's not physically addictive, as in you won't have withdrawal symptoms. However, it is psychologically addictive like tobacco.

Harmless, perhaps, but certainly psychologically addictive. My highschool had a huge problem with it, and I know plenty of kids who were so addicted to it that they would steal from their friends and parents in order to buy it.

Lets see, a dime bag is anywhere from 10-15 USD. Do the math, and you can see how much it could cost you if you tried to buy a pound...proce also depends on the grade and type

I'm just saying, that even though it may be "psychologically addictive", it's still harmless. I just think calling weed addictive is a bit of a deterrent term, and it can be easily misconstrued.

Ah, cheers. Nice to know I'm unintelligent, along with all the people who've taken drugs.

You also don't "allow" yourself to become addicted to something, it's something that occurs. It's not something that shows moral weakness or anyhting like that.
