1. It's not paranoia if you actually are being followed

and

2. You are telling ME the side effects of marijuana? You'd be better off teaching hawking a little bit about physics.

agreed. Fuzz bakes it right into his cookies

I never had marijuana so I cant comment on the effects. It's a drug though so it can't help your decision making process.

I favor Z having been arrested and for the court to figure this one out. But, I seriously doubt T having THC in his system had anything to do with whatever happened. Besides, one local report, which may or may not be correct, stated the amount of THC found was too low for him to have recently smoked pot.


(Enough of all the American "pot is evil" crap...)

Gateway drug

Yup

Gotta fund american agencies, and keep the banks afloat laundering cartel funds.........



Think globally, grow locally.

Ritz crackers...

NUMBER ONE... "cash crop" in the U.S. Weed is ahead of wheat, corn and even soy beans.

which makes it even more amazing how few crimes are committed by users attempting to get more of it, or because people are "under the influence" of it. The crimes are almost 100% related to the mj itself being illegal.
Not a whole lot of people beaten to death by mj crazed addicts...but in bar rooms across the country every night...well

Many pot smokers are lazy POS junkies.


I don't care if its legal but I've seen it KILL my uncle at age 52 and ruin the lives of many if my friends. Most pot smokers I've only met prioritize getting high.

Yes many are functional. La de fuggin da.




telle est la vie

Weed makes people dumb and fat...

Bs. Most in here don't smoke weed.

Whip out a French-bomb on them potheads! They're gonna think it translates to "Go to White Castle".

manger à Joe !

A whole lot more should!!! 😰

Preach!

+1

sorry about your uncle. shocked too, never heard of anyone else dying from it in my lifetime.

I feel it is not a "yeah yeah many are successful" but..., it is virtually a zero issue problem in society, other than arrests due to legal status.

my experiences and exposures to pot and pot smokers are the polar opposite of yours. your picture reads like a hippie commune from 1968. must be east coast/west coast thing.

in the early years, teen years mostly, the initial attraction is extremely strong toward the great new feeling of being high, such is the way of youth, but as the decades have rolled on virtually 100% of those I know who still smoke spend very little of their lives even concerned about the role of pot, looking at it as just an alternative to a cocktail after the responsibilities of the day are over...just like drinkers who are not alcoholics consume alcohol the right way. I know lots of people that have had successful careers and families and they dabble in pot...and I mean people well into their fifties, have been using just as responsibly as they use alcohol for over 40 years. I know no adults consumed by the search as you seem to. And I probably have two decades on you. I do know equally as many (myself included) who have totally lost interest in it, that's how weak the urge is normally...funny though that the last few times I have indulged was because I was drinking when it was offered! There's Wheel's real gateway drug, alcohol!

Similar to gambling and other less addictive temptations, the real percent of pot users that develop a problem such as you describe is miniscule. A tiny fraction develop addiction compared to drinkers, cigarette smokers, pain killers and all other potential "problem" issues and substances. The largest number I have ever seen printed by impartial studies was 1 in 15. It happens, but hardly ever, and seems to be the safest bet of all the bad crap out there. You seem to have a higher percentage of people in your life with the rare condition, and I am not being condescending, your circle seems way off the typical experience.

Basedon your experience, I can understand why you'd call smokers POS's, I just haven't seen it that way.

So what IF some pot smokers are lazy POS junkies? What about their individual rights to do as they please- providing it doesn't directly hurt others?

I was a prosecutor for a while over 20 years ago and NEVER saw one single instance of aggression, fighting, thievery, spousal abuse or obviously ruined lives due to pot. Not once- and neither did my fellow prosecutors, which made us think how much of a joke criminalization is.

After 20 or 21 years of practicing auto accident law, I again have Never seen one crash that was caused by marijuana use alone. NOT one.

I don't know why the pot smokers you have met prioritize getting high, but again, why is that your concern if they are otherwise responsible citizens? They overwhelmingly probably get high, hang out, chill out, eat and sleep.

Addicts will be addicts which ever way they manifest their problems: over-eating, obesity, over exercising, alcohol, tobacco, sex, etc. It's not the substance or the activity, but the individual's psychological and psychiatric conditions which are the real culprit. Just because one may manifest their addiction smoking pot because thy have issues doesn't make pot the cause of those problems or the real culprit.
