Besides presidential voting in November...Follow

That's a personal preference, because the desired end result varies per person. It's the same with alcohol. For some, it's just a buzz, for others it's waking up the next day trying to remember why you're missing a tooth.

No, but he once ate some of the worst hash brownies ever.

Far be it from me to defend Alma, but that quote seems to be describing the range of what alcohol is for some people, in which case blacking out and losing a tooth is in the realm of possibilities.

That said, I know more people who toke for the slight buzz than who get ******* high, but there are those out there who do the latter. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I see it follow the alcohol curve, where when you start getting into it, you're getting trashed every time, but over time it becomes a more casual use. I don't know many people getting blackout drunk anymore, as the novelty wears off over time for most people; similarly, I don't know many people getting so high they can barely function anymore. Of course, this is all anecdotal.

Exactly! And stem cells are people... wait...

Anyway, I don't really care much either way, but something about how the Dutch aren't all dead yet, or whatever.

Again, how is marijuana used correctly? Since you seem to "know what you're talking about", please enlighten me on the proper usage.



I know that you have a problem seeing, but I'm sure that you can read.

1. It was a joke.... referencing The Hangover

2. I was exaggerating the buzz effect.

And to answer your question...I gave my troth to D.A.R.E back in elementary school that I tend to keep to my grave.. Intentionally putting yourself in a state where you might behave against your best judgement is against my best judgement.

American drug usage is among the highest in the world, I know. Have no clue what the breakdown is by drug, but I'm fairly certain of that fact.

But what is "moderation". Wouldn't that depend on the intention of the usage? If the purpose is to get wasted, wouldn't that be using it moderately?



Admitted? Is this an alternative universe? There's a difference in pain relief and being in a stupor, they are not one in the same. Unless you can prove that your chronic pain couldn't be relieved by any other substance, then you were more than likely *partly* using marijuana for it's high effect and not just pain relief.

This is a legitimate argument. People eat in moderation because we need to eat and eating unnecessarily does more harm than good. People take legal medicine at moderation because they use medicine to alleviate the pain and too much does more harm than good.

What is the purpose of smoking marijuana that can't be duplicated by a legal drug that doesn't give you a buzz?




The point was that "not doing drugs" is not something you tend to "admit to" in the same sense that we admit to things in society. You make it seem like not smoking marijuana is like being a virgin.

Pot effects different people differently. The argument is that, used in moderation, pot isn't really any more harmful than alcohol or tobacco; so what's the point in wasting as much money as we do in this country arresting & incarcerating folks for using it? Especially when we can tax it. So many people already have or do smoke pot in this country that it's silly to criminalize it. The only "real" argument I hear anymore about keeping it illegal usually involves, "It leads to other drugs!".

So does alcohol & nicotine.

While pot can be habit forming, it isn't addictive like nicotine or alcohol. The medical marijuana arguments is a little different, as marijuana doesn't really "solve" many medical issues (except glaucoma, appetite, sleep, & nausea, I think). What it does do is make you not care about the symptoms as much.

Downside? It kills ambition.

Upside: It makes the mundane more amusing.



It seems that people whom have never tried pot are boring squares with sticks up their asses that are going to have a hard time getting laid by anyone other than like-minded boring squares with sticks up their asses whom probably want a ring on it before they'll let you in vaginally.

Which, odds are, makes you a virgin & explains so much about where you're coming from with your "arguments". You're incredibly naive!

You really need to keep a pocket dictionary or something. Your continued abuse of the English language is inexcuseable. The word "admit" does not carry a negative connotation as you assume it should. You're a dunce, and nobody here thinks any more of you.

Uhh... Oh really? I guess I didn't realize that when I said that in the very sentence that you quoted. Don't project your stupidity on me.

Or were you stoned when you posted that?
