Marijuana

Postby Burger King II » Wed Apr 07, 2010 12:35 pm

Who smokes Marijuana?

As an American I can not legally smoke or consume Marijuana and recently have taken the view point to legalize Marijuana. I also have become interested in the topic itself like types, ways to smoke, and effects.

Anyone know anything about this?

It's just like every other intoxicant you jam into your body, in that it is in fact bad for you. (IN before NO POT IS GREAT FOR YOU)
Personally, I've never had any inclination towards anything other than the occassional alcoholic drink. Frankly, I'm not sure how I feel about its legalization.

I enjoy it infrequently, perhaps once every other month, if that. Personally, I don't find the effects to be as pleasant to me as alcohol and tobacco, but it's fun ever once in a while.

I can't smoke it, obviously, since I'm in the service, but I fully support its legalization. If booze and tobacco are legal, why not marijuana?

There are only a few good dealers in the area where I come from, and even then you can only trust them to sell you decent weed, you will die if you get anything else.

Heck, the police don't care, just show them an empty packet of cutters choice or golden Virginia an they'll smile and walk away.

Agreed; really, pot is one of the least dangerous drugs known to man-kind; marijuana itself cannot kill you; not the same as either alcohol or tobacco, both of which claim thousands of lives each year just from using the substance.

Because not all drugs are created equal? Prozac is legal, so LSD should be legal too, right? It's the same logical argument. Which is to say it's equally wrong.

I use it when exploring the Astral Plane, communicating with my brothers across the world and in space via telepathy, and when meditating. The NWO keeps it illegal so that people will never be able to experience their higher spiritual existance, keeping them imprisoned in this living tomb. It is this that allows the NWO to keep the Human Race enslaved to the Reptilians, in return for power and wealth of their own.

I hate potheads and hippies. That should sum up my opinion on this thread. Oh and I'm 15, and I'd say that about 75% of my school does some sort of drugs, thus I hate 75% of my school.

I support complete decriminalization -- I shudder at the thought of legalization with the government controlling it. My province does not need another LCBO (or as some of us call it: lick-bo).

I go to the fastest growing university in England, and 95% of the undergrads smoke weed. It is a major teaching training school, and has trained some of the most popular forensic scientists. Do not judge people by petty things.

Hippies can be fun and outrageous. All the potheads I know are good people, and have proper jobs and an education.

The best anecdotes I've ever heard have come from potheads.

My only objection being that Cannabis is a Plant, not a Drug. "Drugs" are artificially changed in some way or another.

When you take away the right of free thinking individuals to weigh the risks and benefits of a course of action and then choose for themselves you undermine the entire concept of free-will.

Maybe the ones you've met, but the ones at my school are total dicks. They're not fun, they're not outrageous, and they aren't cool. They act like they're cool, but they do nothing all day. Just sit there like a lump.

It's more like saying: "If LSD is were legal, Prozac should be legal, too" since booze is far damaging to oneself, and those around, than pot is. And when I say booze, I'm not talking weak beer, here, I'm talking the stuff I consume: hard liquor, a real man's drink.
