I don't smoke but... legalize it. Oh wait, that might happen in a few months. Whoops...

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. Public opinion is in favor of legalization, and so are many law enforcement officials, especially those who specialize in organized crime. Unfortunately, it's such a low priority right now and the government is so slow to begin with that it's just not going to happen that soon.Originally posted by Briscobold

It'll happen someday, though. As for the U.S., fat chance.
Oh, and for all those people who bash pot because they think it makes people act stupid, I hope none of you like girls, because I've been around weed for ages, and I can honestly say that people that are high act far more intelligently than guys who are trying to get laid.

So if I like pot and I choose to pay for it then I'm somehow allowing myself to be screwed out of money by someone? I don't get it. Because that's exactly the same as saying that when you bought Sin and Punishment that Treasure fucked you out of your hard earned dough and went laughing all the way to the bank. Earning a profit from the sale of goods or the performance of services does not necessarily indicate someone being fucked over. I mean are you selling fake weed or something? If so expect to find yourself fucked over and your teeth in new locations, like somewhere outside your head for instance. I also suspect MechD hangs with rookie THC users as evidenced by his description of their snickering at nothing and dull wits. Rookies behave as such.
I hope that truckload of shite weed had already been busted and it's being photographed inside of the US customs station. Because that picture looked to be about 50 pounds of garbage Canadian weed photographed on the Seattle side shortly after a border crossing. I like how the guy blotted out his license plate but it's clearly a Toyota truck purchased at the only dealer of Toyotas in Renton Washington. The list of possible owners for said truck containing said fifty pounds(five times more than the starting point for a mandatory federal case) of said crap garbage shwag just got a whole lot narrower and the authorites are probably thanking TNLThugg as we speak. Not to mention the fact that he has alot of collars on that dog. One of those fucking things must be a license. So we cross reference black Toyota Tundras from Renton to the guy from the Seattle area with a licensed German shepherd. Still narrower. Can we check the John Deere dealers and see which one of the Toyota Tundra owners that shopped at Renton Toyota has a licensed German Shepherd AND a John Deere riding Lawn Mower? Most likely. Whoever let that picture out(or even took such a felonious photo of his own shit)needs to pull it together. Christ I've practically cracked the whole caper in three minutes.
On Nick's request, casually smoking out removes some of my natural overwhelming irritability that had me in a fistfight every week until I was 16(coincidentally the time I started smoking weed). It also takes away the horrendous nightmares entirely. I didn't sleep more than about 20 hours a week between the ages of four and sixteen. Now I sleep like a baby and am able to focus during the day instead of being all tripped out from a huge lack of sleep. Musically weed cuts my warmup time in half and increases my ability to play well with others which is something I dislike. When skateboarding weed was like a powerup. After skating for several hours to the point of exhaustion a quick joint or a blunt would bring the intensity right back to the peak and I'd give it another hour or three. Same can be said for any job I've ever had including this one. I get tired of doing what I'm doing but it still has to be done. Rather than sit there and lament the loss of my spare time I'll get high and whistle while I work. Like another has said, smoking often facilitates my ability to seperate the wheat from the chaff and intuitively decide what types of entertainment, excercise and social interaction I choose to take part in.
And let's be fair. I know weed isn't "good for you" physically. Even with the vaporization techniques I prefer, I still inhale a sticky, resinous substance into my lubgs which increases both my heart rate and blood pressure momentarily. So let's talk about my personal percieved side effects of burning. I stutter a tiny bit anyway and if I get stoned off some great weed after not being high for many hours, I stutter a tiny bit more. I also talk a little much when I'm freshly baked though I don't think I normally come off too idiotic and "dull". I'd like to cough a little less while getting high please. I dislike dirty bongs and pipes. They smell horrible. My so called "friends" that don't buy weed but can always be found at the ready any time any is being puffed are certainly a negative side effect. Sometimes after midnight my eyes get a little dry and playing shooters in which I don't blink enough gets a bit painful.
But back to Nick's words. I feel compelled to mention that smoking herb(weed and various others) is an ancient practice and quite widely accepted in many societies across the globe. I wonder several things about you Nick. Have you ever smoked pot? Have you ever spent much time outside of the USA? How is it that you've obtained the moral and mental high ground to declare a venerated and harmless practice a "character flaw"?
And Hero.... you want to change people eh? Into what exactly? And if for some reason I stopped smoking weed would that be good enough? Would I then be everything you'd hope for me to be? Sounds like you've reached some serious high ground of your own there tuff guy.
My previous "point" about internet armchair philosopher smartypantses trying weed was only an attempt to point out that none of you nonsmoking(never smoked before being the operative) dogooders has any idea what the hell you're talking about. You telling someone weed is bad has all the relevance of someone who's never eaten a strawberry telling me to avoid strawberries because they'll give me the clap.
An after two more pages of wiseguy talk and uninformed banter noone has provided me any links to factual actual scientific studies detailing the "possible damage" to anyone's brain. Just more deskbound posting from the usual lineup of internet knowitalls. Thanks guys. You make an in intelligent, informed potsmoker look pretty cool.

I'm willing to bet a few bucks you have a lot more problems than pot.
Good point. Since I've never been in space, I don't know I'd die if I hopped out of a space shuttle in my underwear, so I think I'll try it, just to see.

You don't get it because you don't know what I'm doing. I didn't say you were getting screwed out of your money, now did I? No. I didn't say people who smoke in general were getting screwed out of their money, now did I? No. I said I was going to screw over a group of people. Clearly, you are not part of that group. And no, it's not fake weed.So if I like pot and I choose to pay for it then I'm somehow allowing myself to be screwed out of money by someone? I don't get it.
The reason I said "screw" is because I'm getting it at street price which means I'll be inflating the price plenty. In short, they aren't paying what they should be for it, and they know it. But they're doing it anyway.
Think of it as eBay for potheads.What if you've seen, say, forty people at various different locations and during different times of their life all eat strawberries and all get the clap soon afterward? Would that make it an educated guess?You telling someone weed is bad has all the relevance of someone who's never eaten a strawberry telling me to avoid strawberries because they'll give me the clap.
After all, going by your logic, every benefit you've stated is only that: stated. Since I've never seen or experienced any benefits, shall I go by your reasoning and label what you have to say crap that I should ignore?

Just because I don't try the stuff, doesn't mean I'm close minded. If people are into hurting themselves and they tell you that it's great and it gives you a "high", you would have reservations about self-mutilation. My attitude is do whatever you want, just as long as you don't bother me with your addiction somewhere down the line.

can't wake up
First of all, I dont think pot is good for people on the average. That doesnt mean that there arent people who seem to get some benefit (or *think* they get benefits from it), but it seems to me that the average pot user does in fact seem to lose motivation, does in fact seem to get some mild memory loss, does in fact seem to get some harm from it.
Ive done it and well, I think its great fun. I really like it. I do. However, I did notice after doing it somewhat regularly (a few times a week maybe) for a few months that my memory was starting to be impaired, that I was getting a little bit clumsier and absent-minded and all that. Before I did anything, my brain was tack-sharp (the amount of stupid things I could remember was amazing, really), during, it was just a little bit off... maybe not enough so others could notice, but the important thing was that I noticed. Was it because of the weed? Was it because of the drinking I also did? Was it because of something totally unrelated to those things? Was it because of both? I dont know, but the best I can do is put two and two together and say that the weed did have something to do with it.
Weed, and more generally just intoxicants in general, also took me away from some other things I enjoyed doing, and the thought of getting fucked up also took precedence over me taking up new hobbies and interests. Im clean now and I feel a lot more organized and a lot sharper and Im trying out things a lot more.
Did I like pot too much? Yea. Did I just like getting fucked up too much? Yea. I guess my personality, the way I tick, whatever, does not fit well with weed. To PaCrappa, if yours does fit, hey man, fucking awesome. More power to you. I wish I could do that too (cause like I said I like it a lot). But I bet that 95% of people who have smoked pot are in the same boat as me, and those are the people who get harmed by it.
Oh, and the legalization movement IS growing. Check out the new Time magazine for it, or just go to the Time magazine website.

Well I did read the whole thread Mech and your reasons are perfectly fine and you do have a point in what you're saying about close mindedness, but I wasn't even talking about you in my statement. It was particularly aimed at stuff like this.
Just look at it. You could cut through the ignorance with a knife. All he's doing is describing the stereotypical potsmoker that people see in movies and TV, so everyone just assumes that people who smoke pot are a bunch of fuckin morons. Any self respecting pot smoker would wanna punch him in the face, and rightfully so. People who do the above mentioned things are already dumb and there is no helping them. If you're an intelligent person and you smoke pot you're not just gonna all of the sudden turn into a blithering idiot. It doesn't work that way, and I love how many people take the liberty to talk out their asses about this topic cuz they can find nothing but bullshit to support their arguments. Pot actually gives me more insight into certain things and makes me think about stuff that I wouldn't normally think about. And I really don't understand the Christina Aguilera statement cuz it's practically a known fact that smoking increases your appreciation for music, and most of the great musicians throughtout modern times have smoked pot. And guess what. If you've never done the stuff then you really don't know much about it, no matter how many people you've seen doing it. Nothing beats first hand experience and, for the most part, if you don't have it you're just another kid talking out of his ass.Originally posted by Nick
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.
Well that's like, your opinion, man.

I'm not hear to defend or attack weed, but I am here to point out that the "potheads" are making perfect sense, while some of the non-pot smokers are acting like they are superior for not smoking weed. We all pick our poisons. some of us choose weed.

All drugs should be legal. That said I don't use any drugs. But if people want to use drugs, they are going to. Making them illegal only turns normal people into criminals.
I just read everything from that truck-of-pot picture down.
PaCrappa, as usual, states his case fairly, but there are several holes in his logic. Fortunately EThugg's response seems to have hit every nail on the head.
Before I continue with this post, I just want to restate that I am not personally attacking anyone. PaCrappa was one of the first people I looked for at TNL after the GameGO boards went down for the final time. I remember he was posting at JAPJAC's boards but not here for awhile, and I contacted him asking him to come back. In other words, I respect his opinion and insight. However, I will not compromise my delivery just because he or anyone else perceives it as condescending.
On to what EThugg didn't address, mainly:
Jesus, this is what I hate about discussions and debates nowadays. I respect other people enough to understand that they have passions and convictions, not just arrogance. I certainly do look down on the behavior, but that stems from my heartfelt convictions pertaining to personal responsibility and evolution.How is it that you've obtained the moral and mental high ground to declare a venerated and harmless practice a "character flaw"?
I have been around pot for well over a decade, and I have tried it. (It's funny how you call it harmless immediately after a paragraph in which you detail how it is not harmless.) It made me lightheaded and floaty and dulled my concentration a bit, and with all the trouble in the world, I don't think it wise to artificially pacify oneself. The only drug I condone for people who are functioning well is a moderate dose of caffeine, as that only seems to sharpen the concentration a bit. But if you start to rely on caffeine and build frequent gatherings around it (as many do), you might want to re-examine the issue.
In short, why drug yourself? When deaden your mental acuity? It seems like a colossal waste of time and money.
