[YokotaS13]

[Bishop]

[PhAtBoYMr2]

[Brett]

Nope. I dont feel the need to do drugs or try it.

[TheSnail]

I did when I was 12-15, but then I moved on to bigger and better drugs.

[PhAtBoYMr2]

[BTLFED]

"I know you don't smoke weed....I know this. But Ima get you high today....cuz it's Friday, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got shit to do!"

[PhAtBoYMr2]

can anyone add my poll options pretty please

[ironchef]

tried it, nothing special, and never tried anything else and don't want to. So all those people who say its a gateway drug are tards!

[TheSnail]

I dont think its a gateway drug. Its just that the other drugs are much more fun.

[JustinSane110™]

Nope. I dont feel the need to do drugs or try it.
Same here. :goodjob:

[SLOWR/T]

never really wanted to try it. to be honest i dont need to. i work to hard for the stuff i have to have it seized if i were busted

[Nemesis]

[Jimmy B]

man made beer God made pot...who do you trust...?

but he didnt tell you to gring up a plant and light it on fire.., beer is wheat/barley in water... and it sits.. pretty much the same as if wheat is sitting in a pool of water, and you have to drink it..

[burnout1990]

still man made and kills more people in this country being legal than pot has ever(illegal)! but we aint going down that debate road.....pots GROWN...dried...smoked. thats all you have to do,
besides he didnt really tell us to do "anything" it was alll figured out lol

[BlkCD5]

I did it a couple of times, but after a bad experience(long story) with it, I'm not smoking that shit again.

[burnout1990]

It would be stupid to post that you smoke weed on a public forum.

Sorry dude, lame post. Use your head :) I mean that in the nicest way. It's even dumber than posting up where the street races are.

LIRL!! Let 5-0 come in this bitch, I never have done drugs and never will. Tell 5-0 to bring that shit son!! :lmfao: :lmfao:

[BigTs13]

did it when i was younger, and i never got anything out of it. besides feeling dizzy and hungry. its lame, so i never did it again. sorry to the people that do it though...to each his own...

[NzProjeKt]

but we aint going down that debate road.....
Alhough this thread is not particularly a repost.. This subject has been touched several times in other threads which resulted in being locked.

But to answer the topic. And since there is no poll.

*raises hand*

[rollininstyle2004]

Never have, probably never will...i just dont have any desire to try it...

[NzProjeKt]

I dont think its a gateway drug. Its just that the other drugs are much more fun.
Since you seem so proud.. What othe drugs do you do ?

[CHADbee]

drugs are bad kids...mmkay?

[wes_297]

i dont anymore, but if i did i wouldnt post it. not a smart thing to do in a public forum

[rickgiblin]

ill let you know that i have done drugs, and it messed up me and my family and everyone that i cared about... im so thankfull to god that i got out of that shit and will never do it again, its childish and stupid. thats my .02 and thats where i stand on this subject

[CHADbee]

same exact story here...shit ain't worth it yo!!!

[Tasuki_Civic]

I did it a couple of times, but after a bad experience(long story) with it, I'm not smoking that shit again.

:lmfao: i wonder what tha story was lol. well i "used" to hit it for a while. with no problem. tha weed man used to stay 2 minutes walkin distance from my aprtment. i went thru my phase .enjoyed it while it last and then it got old. hey i dont mind sayin i did.....shyt no one is lookin for. but thas all in tha past

ps
i never smoked and drove or anything crazy like that...lol i was always safe at home or in a building somewhere. so atleast i was a resposible as far as not not drivin.

[PhAtBoYMr2]

It would be stupid to post that you smoke weed on a public forum.

Sorry dude, lame post. Use your head :) I mean that in the nicest way. It's even dumber than posting up where the street races are.
haha i asked if you smoked it not if you dealed it. its a simple question i really doubt federal agents will come to raid my house because i made a post on importatlanta....come on it's logic, i asked this question because its a social, poltical, and physcological debate. its a worldwide topic and affects people all across the globe......lame post? i beg to differ

[Tasuki_Civic]

i dunno i dont understand how bad it could be. drugs are different to everybody i guess. cause i tried all kinds of weed whenever i wanted and it never effected my school, my family, my friends, my way of thinkin or nuthin. it was all out of jus chillin or havin fun. i feel bad that pple had to go thru a bad experience to leave it alone

[devinwebb907]

ill give my 'confessional'

i used to smoke pot several times a day EVERYDAY. now i smoke maybe 3-6 times a month, just at random whenever it's in front of me with some of my closer friends. i dont see a problem with it, it is not highly addictive(argue with me all you want). when i was at my peak of smoking the most, i decided to myself i wouldnt smoke for an entire month, and well i did it no problems whatsoever. there really arent many bad effects.

as for hard drugs, i havent come across one that i condone of, they all will do some crazy shit to you in one way or another. i have not tried MANY hard drugs, but im friends with some people whose lives i have seen get torn apart by HARD drugs(and by hard i mean anything other than marijuana). i can see how pot can be seen as a gateway drug, because most people would not try ...say cocaine...if they had not smoked dope first, but it is really up to the person if they want to try something else, not the fact if they do drugs.

SUMMARY: pot = not bad other drugs = stupid and can/will fuck up anything possible

[Nismo]

I smoked last nite and got really really sick off of it, I dont think Im going to do it anymore. It really scared me.
Thanks to the ppls at the beginning of the post that put that they dont need the pot to have fun. As lame as it sounds I didnt even think of that. Thank you

yea i agree ...the only reason why i stopped cause i was doin it alot and it got old and plus i started to look for another job.....................i was tempted to try other drugs but i heard stories from my friend and sis and what they went thru..... i jus stayed away from it all. even till this day.

but dont get it twisted.......if i see a homie they i havent seen in a while and i have that job i really want. ill bless tha blunt once lol

[BlueHatch]

i lika the ganja always have but i never hold it so ...... no reason to pull me over or anything

[PhAtBoYMr2]

Ive seen how someone may fuck up their lives by doing hard drugs like heroine and cocaine but i dont really see how someone can fuck up their lives by smoking......its not physically addictive...if anything people dont get addicted...they just get depandant,....meaning its all in your brain...I think for the people who fuck up their lives smoking you really need to revalulate your whole situation....marijuana isnt the type of drug to "fuck up your life" dont blame the weed for fucking up your life, blame it on yourself.

[TheSnail]

Since you seem so proud.. What othe drugs do you do ?


I dont do drugs anymore. I ran away and lived like a bum because I could not finish sentences, I did it to get my self out. But running away to bumfuck cookville TN at 17 with no car or job, I did some dirt to make some money and wound up in jail. It taught me a lesson, and I stayed almost off everything, got my GED and now I am doing good. Im glad I did what I had to do even with the trouble, to get out of where I was at. But to answer your question, the only thing I have not done was by method not drug, which is injection of heron. Mayby times have changed and theres something different, but it was what ever was considered a drug in 2001.

[Seymour222]

I ve done my share of substances, and weed was not my favorite. I liked choach. I honestly don't know why I m such a sissy now, jk. I honestly don't have any desire to do it anymore, and really don' t have a reason. I think a majority of it was peer pressure back in the day. Oh well

[TheSnail]

Now we all out grown it. One of my good friend's friend (22) came to my newyears party. She broke the coke out in my bathroom, which I will pay no mind to, but then she went bragging around to everyone that she can snort coke but not able to swallow medicine and just kept repeating that she does coke like anyone gives a rats ass, was when it became anoying. Welcome to 7th grade. Its one thing to start early, its another to start late. What I mean is, When we were in middleschool, you had no responsibilities, all you had to do was go to school if you wanted. You could do whatever you wanted . So while we were tripping in 7thgrade, homegirl was against people smoking cigarettes. So 7years later I learn my lesson and grew up and need to catch up with my friends as far as where they are in life, so 3 years after the 7, I am on the road, and thats when homegirl falls for the coke. The thing is, we did not have shit to do back then. She finished HS, thinking about starting collage, and now meets the drugs. Bad timing, good luck.

[quickdodge®]

SUMMARY: pot = not bad other drugs = stupid and can/will fuck up anything possible

Wrong summary.

Arguing with potheads about the stupidity of drugs is like getiing into a fight with a paraplegic. Where the fists are common sense. Later, QD.

[Chuckster]

If it wasnt against the law id still be hittin that shit. To me its the same as getting drunk.

Dont care if other people do it as long as they dont let take over thier life.

[imbosile]

ive never tried it, and i never will. too many kids at my school blow every dollar they have on it, and that doesnt seem like something i want to do.

[Chuckster]

oh yea i got it aaaaalllll for for FREEEEEEEE, lol

[RISKYB]

tried it once, didnt care for it havent tried it again

:werd:

just as long as this country is ran by republicans then pot will still be against the law. Ive realized that most democrats are pretty leanient on marijuana laws. Bush was a drunk and no one cared....Clinton hit weed once (or so he says) and the country was in outrage. If john Kerry were are president today the marijuana laws wouldnt be as strict....he was actually for spending american money for the research and development for medcinal use of it, Bush is spending our tax paying money outlawing it but id say just because marijuana has proven medcinal purposes......

Marijuana > Alcohol

[Hulud]

we kinda had this discussion at my work one day (i work in a pharmacy).

the discussion was more if you had glaucoma or a disease that could be treated/help to be cured by marijuana, would you smoke it?
my answer yes because at that point as long as im using for medicinal purposes i feel its no different from oxy/percocet/xanax etc.

and that was the general consenus of the pharmacy.

[HyPer50]

Yes, I do. My feeling on it that the only thing thats wrong with it, is that it's illegal.

[BLk92DA]

I get it fo cheap ;)














but i dont smoke weed nor abuse any other drugs.
only cigarettes fills my lung though :o

[1439/2000]

I stopped. I just kinda phased out of it. It wasnt that big of a part in my life. Though in high school I had dreadlocks almost down to my ass.

And I'm white. And 5'8''.

lol

[Xrated O.G.]

man made beer God made pot...who do you trust....more...?



I love this answer. YES I have and still occasionally do. As for it being the gateway drug, I feel that thats a line of political and religious bullshit. I see nothing different between smoking some pot and drinking beer. Give up on the whole pot is illegal and beer isn't. Im stating from the mental effects of either of them. NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL...

[1439/2000]

I demand pictures.

I have one one my high school I.D. and one on my computer. But I'm at school right now on my gf's computer. Maybe she has one....

lol dreadlocks FTW!!!

Marijuana has so many differnt purposes...Most of the time when you see someone with dreadlocks it usually means there rastafarian....and smoking is part of there religon....they think smoking has spiritual advantages and cleanses the mind....ive known a couple rastas in my lifetime.....

[1439/2000]

Yeah I'm working on them again. I smell when I have them.

In fact in high school for prom or one of those dances i febreezed my hair cause my mom was telling me to wash it.

:lmfao:

[threehundred]

I think for the people who fuck up their lives smoking you really need to revalulate your whole situation....marijuana isnt the type of drug to "fuck up your life" dont blame the weed for fucking up your life, blame it on yourself.

I've never done any "hard drugs", but I used to smoke 5-10 blunts a day, everyday. Usually closer to 10. I also decided to stop one time, cold turkey, and it was a cinch. Didn't smoke for 4 months, although I did want to. There was no change in me whatsoever, between when i was doing it all the time and not doing it any. If it can fuck up your life, no worries, because your life was gonna be fucked up anyway. My mindstate is just as clear regardless of if i'm smoking or not. It helps relax you.

If you think that its worse for you than drinking, you're wrong. Both long term and short term. I can sit and do coding (web design/php coding) for a few hours straight, completely smoked out. I could never do the same drunk.

I also used smoke while doing major research papers for college, smoke right up until time to turn them in, stand up and present my paper in front of a class of 50 or so, and got told by the professor himself, in front of everyone, "This is how you do a research paper!"

This has got to be the single most retarded statement that I have ever read on IA. This is where I have to agree with QD, its not even a fair fight, you are just and idiot. Yeah blame the republicans because you cant buy weed at the quickly mart. For every study you can find published on google about the positive effects of marijuana I can find 10 in medical journals that disprove them. Bush is spending the tax payers money on the "war on drugs" because that's what people want.


Matt

P.S. I don't give a shit if you do drugs, for all I care they can legalize all of them and you can all die of a heroin overdose.

hahaha im an idiot.......right....and you must be albert ensteins fucking brother or something right? How in the hell was that post idiotic when everything i said was true. The war on drugs is a war america will never win..while we waste billons of our tax dollars outlawing this shit the money could be better used elsewhere....like towards the fuckin debt this county has...theres always going to be users and abusers no matter how strict the laws are.

and please....find your 10 journals, im really intrested to read on them :rolleyes:

this thread was going at a good pace untill you came in here trying to be an asshole with the name calling and shit..it was my opinion and ill stick by it...shit i think your an idiot for not agreeing with me.

[Hulud]

I can find 10 in medical journals that disprove them.

well there are a few positive effects of marijuana, like help ease the symptoms of glaucoma, that has been published
im not defending smoking weed here, just stating a valid medical point

I don't give a shit if you do drugs, for all I care they can legalize all of them and you can all die of a heroin overdose.
well the only problem with making drugs legal is how fucking crazy people get on the 'hard stuff' as others have put it. you always hear about how peopel murder others while high on something so i dont want everyone and their brother to be taking that shit and risk the cahnce of them randomly killing me

[Hulud]

here's something published by the AMA

[DrivenMind]

occasionally, but all things in moderation.

[PhAtBoYMr2]

and decrimnialzation bills have been recongized for years about marijuana in this country...

http://www.dpfma.org/home/

A new report titled, “The Budgetary Implications of Marijuana Prohibition,” June 2005 was released by the Marijuana Policy Project to estimate the costs of marijuana prohibition in the United States. This report, created by Prof. Jeffery Miron, PhD, Visiting Professor of Economics at Harvard University is based on the report commission by DPFMA Dr. Miron completed in 2002. The 2005 analysis estimates that the United States spends $7.7 Billion per year enforcing marijuana prohibition at the federal, state and local levels. Specifically, Massachusetts spends $130 Million per year on police, court and incarceration costs for marijuana law offenders.

"The Effect of Marijuana Decriminalization on the Budgets of Massachusetts Governments, with a Discussion of Decriminalization's Effect on Marijuana Use," a report commission by the Drug Policy Forum of Massachusetts provides an estimate of the savings in criminal justice resources that would accrue to Massachusetts state and municipal governments under the decriminalization of marijuana. That estimate is $24.3 million per year. Prof. Miron also establishes through comparative data analysis that decriminalization would not increase marijuana use in Massachusetts.

[bijan gxe]

^Thats why it will never be legal...

Fucking government makes soo much money lockin people up. :(

That's not making money, that's spending money

We agree


.......right.....

Right


and you must be albert ensteins fucking brother.

Actually I am Albert Einstein's brother


or something right?.

Yeah I'm something


How in the hell was that post idiotic when everything i said was true.

You think the Dems are going to stop the war on drugs, the best thing they have going for them is the female vote and I hate to break it to you but the super paranoid moms of America are all for the war on drugs.


The war on drugs is a war America will never win.

We agree on this too.


while we waste billons of our tax dollars outlawing this shit the money could be better used elsewhere.

Yep again we agree (its billions though)


...like towards the fuckin debt this county has.

That's a whole different issue and you don't even want to get into that with me.


..there's always going to be users and abusers no matter how strict the laws are.

Once again we agree


and please....find your 10 journals, im really intrested to read on them :rolleyes:

You have got to be kidding me. Typical, if you think that smoking pot isn't bad for you then you are an even bigger idiot than I thought.


this thread was going at a good pace untill you came in here trying to be an asshole with the name calling and shit.

This thread was never going to a good place, it was a stupid thread.

Hey guys do you smoke pot. Idiot


.it was my opinion and ill stick by it...shit i think your an idiot for not agreeing with me.

Your entitled to your opinion.

Its simple really, they don't.

Also to address your earlier comment I full recognize that there are some legitimate medical uses.

werd thats my point im wondering how bijan says that



Also to address your earlier comment I full recognize that there are some legitimate medical uses.
yea ok i just want to make sure you guys realize im not defending the recreational use of it, just playing both sides for discussion, since no one on here can show any evidence of a good thing that marijuana can do lol

[carrascopa]

drungs are bad.. pot is good when it is from califorinia.. the california chronic is the shit!

you know in cinci posession of an oz or less will only get you a ticket.. its like that in alot of major cities.. no jail time, just confiscation and fine. thats not too bad


I mean pot isnt a bad drug IMO.. i know attorneys, doctors, and well, just a wide range of people who smoke pot occasionally that you might not expect to smoke.

I would venture to say that at least 60% of people smoke pot occasionally and more like 85% have tried it more than once..

shit my great aunt cheefs everyday in California for medicinal purposes.. Is there something wrong with that??????? just curious!

Im not saying i am a pot smoker.. but i do beleive that there is nothing wrong with it!

There is no such thing as MA like there is AA.. Alcohol is legal, although once illegal due to lobyists .. it was all about the money.. and look what it did once legalized.. it totally cut crime down and stopped the illegal trade of alcoholic beverages..

its the same concept with pot, although, Pot has less of an effect on you than alcohol. its just crazy to me! I do believe that state by state it will start to be legalized..

It will happen as society becomes more liberal.. It only makes sense, honestly..

anyone know which state it is 100% legal in right now.. and it has nothing to do with medicinal purpose. it is just plain legal?? who knows

[Hulud]

hrmm, hadn't heard of this. I know medical marijuana is legal in 11 states now...
it doesnt matter if its legal there, the federal government passed a law last year saying they can prosecute medical marijuana users as well

[threehundred]

Are you a fucking rock?

No, but apparently you are. How do you think that the government profits by arrests due to marijuana? They spend billions of dollars to stop people from using/buying/selling, but at no point does that make them money. You're a fucktard if you believe that. You think a $100/$1000 fine pays for all the work that went into getting that fine? Not even close

[babygurl]

how do they make money off of locking people up? im trying to figure that out... :confused:


The police put people in jail! Two people make money off ot it!

And there are several ways you canmake money off of it!
The Bail bonding company makes a % of the bond, under $10K is 12% of the bond, $10,001 you pay 15% to a bonding company!

Lets say you dont go to court for a speeding ticket, and a county puts a warrant out for your arrest! If you get picked up and put in jail, you can only get out with a cash bond! (In some cases, if granted by a JUDGE and only A JUDGE you can go through a bail bonding company!) I believe with a cash bond you get some of the money back! honestly not sure.

The governemnt makes money off of you, by impossing fines on you! probabtion etc.


Just some ways you can make money off Jail birds!

and on the smoking weed thing, as long as you take care of your reponsiblities, then I dont see a problem with it!

Just some ways you can make money off Jail birds!
but that LITTLE fine is miniscule in comparison to the costs of housing a person in jail.
housing a person intails costs of:
building the jail
electricity
food
water
guards
maintenance
plumbing
beds
silverware
lawsuits
etc...
the list can go on

and thats just the jail, not to mention billions spent with catching these peopel

[threehundred]

making money = profit
profit = gross income - expenses


gross income = Millions in fines
expenses = Billions of dollars
profit = NONE!!! Negative!

The negative profit is what comes out of our tax dollars.

[threehundred]

And bailbondsmen are not allowed in the equation. They are a separate entity that is just trying to get in where they fit in. They have nothing to do with any of this, as far as money goes.

If you wanna talk about the money they make, let's talk about the money drug dealers make. I guarantee you that more money is made in the drug industry than in the bail bonds industry

[carrascopa]

hahaha,.. ya ll like that pic. i took part in a protest in laguna beach awhile back! it was funny

n google the marijuana laws in alaska.. it si legal there for private use within a home and they limit how much you can possess.. this is true


and fuk the feds.. our constition states that local law overrules federal law! so they can go to hell with that shit..

They are not allowed but some are!

And with bail bonding companies, if someone runs the bonding company has to pay the bond off, and I have seen my boss pay off $30,000.00 bonds before, so that is how they also make money!

And as far as drug dealers go, they probably do make more money!

I have seen alot of drugs dealers, and they have told "stories" so I know what you mean!

LIRL @ this thread.

[carrascopa]

you can argue both sides of the fence all day long.. at the end of the day it is My opinion that if alcohol is legal so should pot!

I donthtink all illegal narcotics should be legalized, just marijuana..

My reasoning is as follows...

People who smoke pot will not stop. It is the easiest thing in the world to get.

and by buying it off the streets, people are contributing to drug dealers pocket books. So you take the money away from them.. lower the crime rate associated with marijuana distribution and legalize it. not only will crime lesson but it would give a boost to the economy.. This is only my opinion..

not everyone has to smoke it because it is legal.. just like everyone doesnt drink.. but the point is that, with a substance like this.. where the side effects are less than cigarettes and alcohol ( both whcih are legal ) than why not fold and start taxing the shit!

Its kind of like if the country was to say.. Shooting someone is illegal, but if you kill them its o.k. as long as you kill them before midnight..

alcohol n tobacco = worse than pot!

Now this is a quality post. I agree with Alex. :goodjob:

And no, I don't smoke weed.

[PhAtBoYMr2]

drungs are bad.. pot is good when it is from califorinia.. the california chronic is the shit!

you know in cinci posession of an oz or less will only get you a ticket.. its like that in alot of major cities.. no jail time, just confiscation and fine. thats not too bad


I mean pot isnt a bad drug IMO.. i know attorneys, doctors, and well, just a wide range of people who smoke pot occasionally that you might not expect to smoke.

I would venture to say that at least 60% of people smoke pot occasionally and more like 85% have tried it more than once..

shit my great aunt cheefs everyday in California for medicinal purposes.. Is there something wrong with that??????? just curious!

Im not saying i am a pot smoker.. but i do beleive that there is nothing wrong with it!

There is no such thing as MA like there is AA.. Alcohol is legal, although once illegal due to lobyists .. it was all about the money.. and look what it did once legalized.. it totally cut crime down and stopped the illegal trade of alcoholic beverages..

its the same concept with pot, although, Pot has less of an effect on you than alcohol. its just crazy to me! I do believe that state by state it will start to be legalized..

It will happen as society becomes more liberal.. It only makes sense, honestly..

anyone know which state it is 100% legal in right now.. and it has nothing to do with medicinal purpose. it is just plain legal?? who knows

REAL TALK FOLKS

THANKS ALEX

[PSINXS]

I am a social smoker. I rarley go out and buy weed, and i always smoke with friends. its not on the regular, just about every other weekend. If i am going to just chill, i get blazed. If i am going to the club, i get blazed beforehand so i dont have to buy drinks lol

I can buy a dime sack and it will stay around for weeks cuz i dont smoke that often. BUt when i do smoke, i get FUBAR

[PhAtBoYMr2]

wow....1,000 views and 100+ post.....

i think i really did make a lame ass thread..... :doh:

im glad everyone has different opinions and views about it...i hope this thread somewhat educated people for the most part. I didnt make this thread trying to be funny or 4:20 for life! type deal.....I made it because i dont think its really been brought up before on importatlanta...and its a subject that has touched everyone in america...

yea tha last time i remember someone brought this subject up..it was atlantaimportguy and lol everybody dogged tha fuck out of his ass jus cause he said he smoked. lol it was kinda fucked up that everyone ganged up on him but hey its importatlanta and it was a lili funny. altho i think he was a lil insulted

Firs of all I AM NOT A POT HEAD.
From my personal experiences, i say somking weed is alot less harmful to yourself, and others than being drunk. When i'm drunk i want to do stupid things, such as go out for a drive. Wen i'm high i have more control over my actions and body. In my case Weed > Alcohol. Thast why i dont drink, and the last time i somked was in october.

[CMO]

Hell I'm the only one around my age that I know that don't smoke. Well maybe 3 or 4 other people that I know don't smoke. But everyone else puff's away.

[Sledlude]

I've never done any "hard drugs", but I used to smoke 5-10 blunts a day, everyday. Usually closer to 10. I also decided to stop one time, cold turkey, and it was a cinch. Didn't smoke for 4 months, although I did want to. There was no change in me whatsoever, between when i was doing it all the time and not doing it any. If it can fuck up your life, no worries, because your life was gonna be fucked up anyway. My mindstate is just as clear regardless of if i'm smoking or not. It helps relax you.

If you think that its worse for you than drinking, you're wrong. Both long term and short term. I can sit and do coding (web design/php coding) for a few hours straight, completely smoked out. I could never do the same drunk.

I also used smoke while doing major research papers for college, smoke right up until time to turn them in, stand up and present my paper in front of a class of 50 or so, and got told by the professor himself, in front of everyone, "This is how you do a research paper!"

the man speaks the truth. thank you chris! :goodjob:

This is the same effect it has on me. I believe it's different for different people. It's really just a preference thing- you can't really say it's wrong or it's right. If you hate it, don't do it. If it works for you, smoke one. And if you've never tried it, then don't say a damn word because you really don't know what you're talking about.
When's the last time someone went home and beat their wife because they got REALLY stoned? When's the last time someone OD'd on some weed?

Ans as far as the gateway drug theory, thats a load of crap. If you want to do harder drugs, you're going to do them regardless of the weed or not. And addictive personality is inherent- you can't say weed made you do it. The only thing marijuana is a "gateway" to is some muthafuckin munchies :).

and with that said...... :::hits the bowl:::

[AtifSajid]

pot heads..Ive been clean for 15 years now.

[Sledlude]

but he didnt tell you to gring up a plant and light it on fire.., beer is wheat/barley in water... and it sits.. pretty much the same as if wheat is sitting in a pool of water, and you have to drink it..

beer is made from hops right? hops=cousin of the sativa plant. yes folks, beer and weed are family, believe it or not. thats why a blunt and a brew is the perfect nightcap! for me at least :)

[Vteckidd]

I smoked a little in college, but i didnt really ever enjoy it.

i have a weird personality, i like to be in control, and i like to know that i have a grip on certain situations. when i smoked weed, i had panic attacks, and i just wasnt into it. I did X a few times in college, and i never wanted to do it again.

I experimented, ill be honest. i never did any hard drugs, just those 2. I would much rather spend $20 on a 24 pack of beer then spend $20 on X. and i really didnt care for weed.

Nowadays, i have a drink occasionally, if i had a long day, but i enjoy my surroundings, and my friends/family much more sober than i ever did partying. im also more succesfull and a much more rounded person than i was "partying" in college. drugs just were never really did it for me. im much happier sober

[Azn-Boost]

i smoke bud its a good way to get let some stress out and it helps me sleep easier. theres nothing wrong with it unless u take it overboard. I never heard of people getting cancer by smoking herb.
Of course if ur a fucking pothead smoking all day every day u will come out aliittle slow and stuiped but every person makes there own choices in life.

[©hris]

one thing i hate is when people get all "gangsta" about smoking lol i think its so funny

[quickdodge®]

All I know is I hope the shit never gets legalized. Later, QD.

What effect would it have on you though, other than beer sales going down? lol

WHY IS THAT??? TAKING IT OFF THE STREETS AND TAXING IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY AND THE CRIME RATE.. AS A NATION WE WOULD NOT LOSE ONLY GAIN!

ALCOHOL IS MORE ADDICTIVE AND TOBACCO IS MORE HARMFUL AND ADDICTIVE.. THESE ARE BOTH LEGAL SUBSTANCES IN OUR COUNTRY?????

SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT IT! YOU CAN DRINK YOURSELF INTO SELF DISCRUCT MODE.. SMOKE CIGS TILL YOUGET CANCER...

BUT YOU CAN SMOKE BLUNT AFTER BLUNT AND THE WORSE THING THAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT YOU PASS OUT

[quickdodge®]

WHY IS THAT???

I've just never been a fan of any drugs. Plain and simple. Later, QD.

[PSINXS]

^ahh personal opinion. thats cool too. As i am sure many others have the same opinion. it will be a good topic for the government once the attempt to legalize is made.

fuk... i think tylenol would kill you before pot will.. infact i know it will..

thats what i dont get.. we have a ton of shit that is more harmful out there than pot!

shit pot helps some people with chronic illness.. I bet anyone the farm that if the tobacco lobiests wanted to start distributing marijuana in cartons that congress would pass it! its all about the money man.. thats it

ya, but if every1 does we would be a country of potheads, and all some

it would be good for the economy but it would be bad for our ppl, just my

terrible rebutal man! so do you mean to tell me if pot was legal everyone would do it????

we wouldnt have a country of potheads man! do we currently have a country of alcoholics?? no we dont.. alot of people wouldnt smoke or only smoke in moderation. .. just the same was as people drink

[BTLFED]

The difference is that Atlantaimportguy was talking about smoking and DRIVING. I don't give a shit if people smoke crack, as long as they don't put innocent people at risk doing it.

And I don't wanna hear the drive after drinking comparison, because I don't do it.

[threehundred]

There'd probably be the same exact number of people smoking if it was legalized.

You'd have some people stop smoking because the price would go up (government) and you'd have new people start because its legal.

Society would hardly be ruined.

hush, pot head.

[ProjectWidow]

I guess I'll put in my 2 cents also.

I used to smoke for about 2 years and never had a problem with it. It helped me relax and just get my head clear. Just smoke a little bit and do my homework with a focused attitude like Chris mentioned. I will be clean for exactly 1 year on February 25. I also know a guy that lived in Ohio and got pulled over and only got a ticket for possession. I think all states should set a limit on how much you should have before you get arrested. I personally think we are spending too much time and money and trying to catch every single person doing drugs. We have people committing worse crimes than having just some weed on you. Hell half a gram put me in cuffs. Thats .5 grams, thats like a little packet of sugar.

I just think that the government should set a limit on how much is legal if they aren't going to legalize it. There are people in jail for years because of possession while we have people stealing and killing and we aren't catching these guys as much as we are catching people for possession. Most people that smoke can handle themselves and know their limit. You can smoke and still do all your days activites fine. I know people that have great careers and still have a little smoke every once in awhile.

Thats just a little bit of my opinion.

[kilpatty43]

ive never smoked anything in my life...its a disgusting habit whether its weed or cigs and a huge turnoff

[3.14]

one of the main reasons pot isnt legal is due to the difficulty of taxing it. people can say that the government could grow it and sell it but that isnt practical due to the fact that once you bought some you have seeds. and it is easy to grow. (unlike tobacco, which is really labor intensive). until they can figure out a way to stop others from growing it, it will stay illegal.
in my personal opinion, do whatever you want. just dont leave your house. coke, x, weed, etc. i couldnt careless what you put into YOUR body, just dont put other people at risk. (this is why i dont see smoking pot in public ever being legal...second hand high)

i must say i have never done a drug (minus alcohol). i have been around people who have done everything under the sun and i must say that i have seen lots of bad choices occur because of the influences of drugs (including alcohol). so i say do whatever makes you happy as long as you dont endanger others. take home message, nothing good ever came from drugs. be safe.

[quickdodge®]

I don't agree. I think the numbers would skyrocket. I know for a fact that there are an assload of people that don't smoke the shit only because it's illegal. Later, QD.

It's not fair to blame just pot for someone fucking up. If you fuck your life up and you smoke pot, you were probably going to fuck your life up anyway.
weed=lame? whatever- I smoke every single day... ask some folks on here- I'm the first mofo in the room ready to blaze, but I wouldn't say it's "my life". I am in college and make excellent grades and am working towards becoming a professional.

honestly, I make A's and B's right now. If you took away the bud, it would probably be B's and C's. But thats just me, I can't speak for everyone else.
