for those of you who have never done it, you should try it once, atleast just to play Rez when you're peaking, and eat your favorite food ever when you're starting to come down.

Werd.

I have smoked pot continuously for the past 14 years. I pulled three bonghits when I woke up and just got done with a round of two more. It affects nothing except to satisfy a craving that I have which is not entirely unlike a craving for food. I'm not some dillweed that can't find a job and plays retarded adventure games all day. I don't own a TV and don't often fall victim to unusual eating patterns. I have many interests and hobbies. Goals are decided upon and met in an orderly fashion(all except getting this damn website up and running, but that's my business). I exercise and maintain quality physical fitness and I do my best to stay as social as the rest of my friends(my second job as a nightclub DJ helps a ton with that). I work continuously and don't even really have time to play the games that I sell for a living.

I'm amazed at the misconceptions expressed here. "Slows reactions...", "could kill me..." etc. If the posters of those statements could point me to any factual information posited by ANYONE that actually details how such information was arrived at, I'll skip my after dinner bong rips.

As far as method of ingestion goes I don't really smoke. I also really can't stand to eat it either(makes me feel funny). What I do is use a heat gun. See, THC becomes active at roughly 285 degrees fahrenheit(sp?) but cellulose type materials usually don't actually burn until around 450+. So in between the 285 and 450 (usually beginning on up toward 375+) the benzenes and the carbon monoxide starts to come forth. Well my friends, I don't need that, nor do I need the 60% of the burnt weed turning into microscopic solid particles(also known as irritants, friend of the carcinogens) for me to inhale. So like I mentioned, a lovely heat gun set to about 300ish gets the job done with no smoke and no funny feelings that come from eating the THC. For more info on the gunning peep www.vriptech.com

All you high horse motherfuckers sure do like to spend lots of time posting on the internet about all sorts of things you know nothing about. If it's bad it's bad for the individual and the individual ain't getting held down and repeatedly kicked in the nuts until he gives in and tries that horrible wicked devil's weed, sure to turn even the staunchest of intellectuals into the aforementioned dumbass. So spare the holier than thou type attitudes and get a job.

You just admitted already it's not healthy to smoke it, which is the way 99.9% of people use it, so saying it's unhealthy and not specifying the method, doesn't mean I don't know anything about it.

No, I'd rather not.

**PaCrappa** · 24 Oct 2002, 08:14 PM

OK. Let's fix that. Do something besides sit in front of your parents or "girlfriend's" computer and post jerkoff ignorant statements on the web. I think that's what I'd like to see. One thing's for sure, don't none of you people EVER consider trying pot! NO! It's far too dastardly and evil and there's no way to control the evil (or dumbass) being that you'll become upon first toke. Much much too powerful for all the smart guys online.

BTW, clearly I have a TV. I have two. But only one recieves channels and it's been positioned directly on its left side since the moment I moved in. So that little bit about "I don't own a TV" should read "I can't fucking stand the bullshit being broadcast on the television and don't understand why anyone would ever subject themselves to it, stoned or otherwise..."

Pa

Thanks EThugg. A point wouldn't be a point were you not there to drive it home for me. Is anyone reading this stuff? LOL!

I have tried it actually. A few times in fact, as my friend insisted "it doesn't really work until you've done it a few times". It did nothing for me. Then again, in person I've been told I act like I'm high normally... maybe that's my problem...

Um...what about people who don't want to use it simply because they don't? Not like I find it the root of all evil - I just don't want to smoke anything, drink, or any of the sort.

Yeah! And then there's those of us who had roommates who smoked up and got seriously fucked up as a result. Sure it may differ from person to person... but pot definitely slows reaction time... my roommate was a complete mess when he got high.

I don't object to the stuff, it's just not for me...

**Spanky McGee** · 25 Oct 2002, 03:07 AM

So, I got really high tonight, and kicked my friends ass in NBA 2k3. Reaction times slower? How about more refined! Gah!!

**Fe 26** · 25 Oct 2002, 03:13 AM

how high was he?

**Spanky McGee** · 25 Oct 2002, 03:17 AM

**kedawa** · 25 Oct 2002, 03:31 AM

I voted 'pothead' for lack of a more accurate choice. I don't smoke habitually anymore, just occasionally, like at parties.
Every once in a while I'll grab a half ounce, usually when school gets out for vacation, and just chill out for a few weeks. It helps to break up the monotony.
I find that when I'm high, I can appreciate certain things a lot more. When I'm sober, I tend to just tune things out and think about complicated shit, but if I'm stoned I just experience more of what's going on outside of my head.
The best thing that pot has to offer to most people is the fact that it can put you in a good mood and make simple tasks a lot of fun because you need to concentrate harder. Cleaning my apartment, washing dishes, cutting the grass, cooking, and so many other everyday chores are actually enjoyable when I'm high.
Playing videogames stoned can be a mixed bag. Personally, I can't play FPS's stoned at all, but certain other types of games are easier for me after burning a joint, especially fighting games. And I swear that Nights, Rez, and American McGee's alice were all meant to be played when stoned.

**Frogacuda** · 25 Oct 2002, 11:28 AM

I'm somewhere between 1 and 2. I've done it plenty of times, but never habitually. In fact there's proabably only been a few times when I've done is twice in the same month. So I don't think I'd call myself a pothead. It's more of an occasional thing for. I don't see anything wrong with it, but it's not something I feel the need to do on a regular basis.

**Nick** · 25 Oct 2002, 12:46 PM

To be honest, whenever someone tells me he smokes pot, it's almost like him telling me he loves dating shows, infomercials, and Christina Aguilera videos. I have been around plenty of pot smokers, and I admit that I look down on that particular behavior. It seems to have a dulling effect, which is precisely what a lot of people don't need.

There are better things to do with your mind than fooling it into thinking everything is all right and every little funny thing is a laugh riot. I want to be me, so I avoid substances that promise to make me light-headed and/or mellow and/or a snickering jackass.

I realize that plenty of people do it in moderation, so don't accuse me of calling you names if you do it. Maybe it just has a calming effect on you, maybe your eyes don't get all red, maybe your clothes don't stink. But maybe you can find a better hobby, one that doesn't screw with your brain cells and your personality.

I'm just saying.

**Saint of Killers** · 25 Oct 2002, 01:20 PM

The problem with most non-smoker's perceptions of weed is that there are two different kinds of pot heads. There's the type that you all know and love; the guy who wears a pot-leaf t-shirt he hasn't washed in three months, has long, greasy hair, and talks incesantly about "that totally harsh bongload I just took, dude. Like, whoah." Then there's the type who works hard, makes a repsectable living, is clean and neat, and smokes a couple of joints on the weekend to unwind instead of drinking beer like all the other socially respectable substance users. The problem is this guy doesn't advertise the fact that he smokes in every conversation, so you have no idea that he exists.

I garuntee that every single one of you has met tens, if not hundreds of intelligent, rational, witty people that you respect that smoke all the time, and you just don't know it.

**Nick** · 25 Oct 2002, 02:34 PM

I still see pot smoking as a character flaw, and I consider those people respectable and so forth despite that flaw, the same way most people consider me respectable despite the fact that I eat fast food three days a week instead of brown-bagging it or spending extra on a fancier lunch. The difference is that I am cutting down on that flaw, not celebrating it as a laudable culture.

Again, I am not looking to get personal here as much as I am looking to state my opinion. Sure, it's a value judgement, but it is my honest-to-goodness viewpoint on the matter. You don't need to tell me I have questionable characteristics and pleasures (that's my wife's job

), because the fact that we both have vices doesn't make either of our sets of sins easier to condone.

**Shooting Love** · 25 Oct 2002, 02:48 PM

Nick,
do you consider drinking alcohol a "character flaw"?

Ahhh........the redundacy of these statements coming from a VIDEO GAME MESSAGE BOARD ADMIN...you could plug in "plays video games" for "smokes pot" and have exactly the same results. Gimme a break.

What about the pot smokers who make love while high, paint, play guitar, etc...the problem lies with the individual not the substance, they would do the same things if they didnt smoke weed.

**Nick** · 25 Oct 2002, 03:46 PM

If it were not for the possible adverse effect of prolonged marijuana use on brain cells, I would say getting drunk is a hundred times worse than getting high off weed, but as it is, I see them both as deeply in the "Bad" column.

MKUltra, my beef is not with addictions, my beef is with doing things that are detrimental to the body and dulling to the mind. Besides, how does it help us discuss the value of pot if all we get is a chorus of "Well, what about this?" and "What about that?" What about pot? What does it add to your life and what does it take away?

**Jeremy** · 25 Oct 2002, 03:49 PM

For some people, it doesn't take way life, and it only helps them sustain it.

**SearchManX** · 25 Oct 2002, 03:51 PM

It takes away the money that could go towards GAMES! That's why I stay away from the stuff (and cigarettes... hoo boy, THAT'S an expensive "hobby") and also why I rarely drink...

It lets people who have no right to be there be a part of the cool crowd. It also expands your mind, thus giving you the perspective to write long, shitty reviews of video games.

How is it not? Whats the difference. Its a preference. I have had the same stash for one month, only about 2 grams. When i feel like smoking it, I will. Maybe today when i get home from work, maybe next month on a Saturday night. Its not a big dal if you dont make it one.

I rather be a quiet and sensitive stoner when i get home than a beligerent drunk who beats up his girlfriend.

As far as the benefits of casually smoking, some of my best insights on life and my artwork have come when i was high, some when sober. Sometimes when i get high i am a creative genius (i have a mini Pro Tools Studio in my room), sometimes i sit there and watch TV or worse, play games (getting high actually makese me realize how lame modern video games are).

Do you get my point?

=)

**MVS** · 25 Oct 2002, 04:55 PM

Does it really matter if someone thinks any behavior is bad?

I don't mind what people think of me, if it works for me, then it's good.

I do think that pot should be legalized, but that would not cause me to smoke it anymore than I do right now.

You can still smoke once in a while and not have to pay for it. I've never had to actually buy pot in my life. I just smoke it when it's there and people are sharing.

I've met plenty like that, doesn't change that once they get high they also get stupid. There are plenty of my friends that I don't hang out with if they're getting drunk or high because it's not fun to be around if you prefer your thoughts untainted. Although I've seen both alcohol and weed get fat chicks laid, so I can where the appeal for them comes from...

Yeah, because I've been known to snicker and giggle for minutes on end at nothing at all while playing videogames. And I've come to plenty of deep, insightful thoughts about the stupidest shit possible while ripping through pixellated creatures on-screen.

What about the pot smokers who make love while high, paint, play guitar, etc...the problem lies with the individual not the substance, they would do the same things if they didnt smoke weed.

Funny... I've never noticed people get dumber as they sit there and play guitar. Maybe I'm watching the wrong people.

However, I will say this: Pot smokers are about to become a great money-making opportunity for me. I love how I'm about to screw over a bunch of them out of cash, and they don't care. Beautiful.
