Manditory Maximum

The strangest yet one of the most interesting persons I've ever met, Scot Lacy (deadhead and coffee house lurker- he was a total stoner but could speak fluent Russian and German and knew a lot about hypnosis) once told a crowd, "Sometimes I think the government should require that every citizen take a THC pill. At least once." I find this a bit Big Brother for me. I understand why he said it, but I would probably fight it tooth and nail if someone tried to make new law.

However, some people disagree. How much does a drug like THC affect the mind? Is this a forcing the hand of evolution issue, or just the smoky dream of a down and out college bum like Liquid Lacy?

I have friends who have and do smoke pot occasionally. These days it's kind of a weekend thing for most of us. Therefore, it's not like I'm bashing anyone when I disagree with Lacy. I might be tempted to bash my own laxadacious and procastinating tendencies, but no one else.

Oh, and when you comment and if you agree that THC pills should be taken by everyone, please specify if you think that everyone should take it once a week, once a day, or whatever. Liquid changed his mind about this often, but he did say the magic pill should be taken once a day more than once.

EDIT: To clarify, Liquid Lacy was the nickname of Scot Lacy.

well it certainly hasn't done you any good.

Actually, I think it's reduced my sex drive a little, but let's take that on board shall we? On the German side of my family, you have musicians and pot smokers. On the Enghish/Irish side, you have a chemist, an engineer, and a vietnam vet who worked on B52s at one point. Oh, and my mother, the legal secretary.

However, one of the Germans was a marine and they are highly intelligent. Even now. My one Uncle opened for B.B. King in Amsterdam. It's not like they are entirely unsuccessfull. Their father was a chief in the Navy (although he never smoked herb).

I find this interesting. Oh, the only thing wrong with the Roses (Enghish/Irish side) is that none of them have had kids for some reason. The Roses are no more. Extinct.

:lol: What in the hell made you want to debate this?

I know I wake up every day worried about the possibility of the government forcing me to take THC pills. If that isn't at the front of everybody's thoughts, it should be. :)

And I know just as many people who wake up each day furrious that the government isn't forcing this stuff. Yup.....time to sit back and watch the passionate debate on whether or not we should be forced to take THC pills. Social issues this relevant and talked-about only come along every so often you know. :p

How about this for a poll? How long before this Opa Age reject gets banded like the rest of his predecessors?

Damn, the jig is up!

Now I just have to hope that no-one discovers that if you take the 5th letter of every sentance I have written on this board from it's inception to last August and convert it to the appropriate corresponding hexidecimal number and save the whole mess with a .jpg extension you get a picture of a fox with boobs.... :chu:

Forced to take a pill? I think not.

Great input guys. As for why I chose this topic, well, it's not terribly political but still an obstacle. N.O.R.M.L. is, in fact, a group of people engaged in political activism.

It's just a thread about drugs. There are lots of threads here about drugs. And a real person did in fact make that statement about the pills.

EDIT: Is this still too political? Seems mellow to me . . .
