It almost is here in San Francisco. They actually can't bust you nor ticket unless they see you selling large quantities. If you are smoking it, they are supposed to turn a blind eye. I mean really...with all the clubs here and blatent selling of edibles at almost ALL of the street faires/festivals busting folks for pot is pretty pointless. Actually I think the criminalization of Pot is pretty pointless.


And at concerts, you can smoke pot openly, but if you light a cigarette security immediately says "there's no smoking in here!" eek smile


yeah, that's pretty stupid. it doesn't matter what show i go to--within minutes, people have to start smoking pot. and they never get kicked out. disbelief

Mostly, but I think some people really buy into the whole "illegal drugs" thing, thinking alcohol must be safer since it's legal.

Also some states have very severe penalties that might deter some folks from smoking pot.


Or cigarettes for that matter. Alcohol and Cigs kill way more people than Pot does. I also find it FASCINATING that perscription pills are a lot more acceptable than pot. Also what arrests my attention is the blatent and rapant use amongst celebrities (along with other drugs). And the public (and police) seem to be indifferent to it. Like why isn't Lohan in Jail for possessing Cocaine?


From what I read, she didn't get caught possessing cocaine. shrug

Often they do. Sometimes on Cops, they'll pull someone over and smoke literally billows out of the window.

That lends credence to the argument that pot makes you dumb, though there's no real reason to assume those folks were smart before they smoked it!

The thing is that of course if you sit around and smoke pot all the time you aren't going to get anything done. It puts me into a very relaxed state. But, to be perfectly honest if you sit around and drink all the time you aren't likely to get anything done either. I don't want to be around people that care only about getting high or drunk, but either used moderately or occasionally doesn't bother me. I don't really care if it is never legalized here in the US. I have gone about 15 years without it and I can go the rest of my life without having it. But, if it were legalized I can't say that I would never do it on rare occasion. I really don't see the big deal. Drinking is such a huge problem here in the US. Sometimes I think we are a bit too restrictive when it comes to such things. shrug

maybe it's changing, but that was my experience. That specific instance I was thinking of was at the Warfield, but it was a couple years ago.

I don't find it makes them stupid. I do find it makes them hungry and then sleepy. mad
I know the few times I've tried it, it's made me silly and then sleepy. lol


My girlfriend gets the sillies HARD CORE. Which cracks me up. So then we're both doubled over and laughing so hard we're in pain. Man, I've never had that much fun with alcohol. Yeay weed! lol

Yeah I don't think it makes them stupid. It does bring up a bit of a wall on their personality, which can annoy very outgoing, non-introspective people. I think it also makes them a bit uncomfortable.

And sleepy, yes, lazy, yes. Being around stoned people can be boring because they're happy to be doing absolutely nothing. I know I never wanted to do anything when I smoked.


Potheads aren't usually world-beaters. lol Sorry, but the people I know who are really into it are pretty lame. I'd rather do something than sit around all day.


They also aren't usually wife-beaters. The thing I like about pot is that it's very rare for a person who is stoned to do anything that harms another person. You can't say that about very many drugs (including alcohol).

'tis the truth though.
Think of how many beatings and rapes occur, that are inspired by alcohol.
...now when's the last time some smoker went on a pot-induced rampage?

hell no i hate downers,cannabis,opiates..

i like stimulants thought..

Agreed--weed makes me feel nauseous and I have a hard time thinking (I realize the latter is the point for some). But I'm all for legalization for the age-old argument--its effects are much less dangerous than that of alcohol. That being said, I LOVE alcohol. mr.green

My system must reject THC. After little experimentation with weed in the past (I have bum lungs), my "friend" (evil) fed me a STRONG pot brownie. One hour later, I woke up naked under a sheet in the local E.R. hooked up to tubes and wires, under a doctor much more handsome than necessary. He was in good spirits, and we had a few laughs after I vomited 18 times. My friend counted, naturally.




This was February 2006.

No.

If it was in tablet form as with

medicinal marijuana, then probably sometimes I would, yes.

But I very strongly dislike the act of smoking in any form and what it

does to your health.

Or at least, smoking wouldn't be so bad

if it didn't slowly .. yeah, you know the rest.

I wouldn't try it for a long time 'cause I refuse to smoke. I've got pretty shitty lungs.

Then I discovered brownies and vaporizers. weed


Not that I'm advocating that people who aren't interested run out and try it. I'm just sayin'.

Y'know, that's the only time I wanted to die of something other than depression. I was literally begging them to put me out of my misery. I can't begin to describe the physical pain my body felt. I was wracking, cramping, twisting, shaking, sweating, crying. lol I can't believe I "survived". I couldn't walk and for a very long time, I'd literally lost my eyesight. I couldn't SEE.

According to the friendly MD, I had severe THC poisoning--I think the name is bullshit, as what it causes (in extremely large amounts) is nausea and vomiting so intense that you become severely dehydrated, naturally. A person can never die of too much THC, but they could obviously die if they choked/drowned in their own vomit, or if they didn't seek treatment after several days with no water, etc.

The easiest way to "OD" on THC is obviously the infused-oil method. My buddy's grandparents (they grow, obviously) gave him a huge Ziplock bag full of shake which he combined with oil in a pan to make a green sludge. He heated it for a long time, strained the shake out, and baked the brownies with the oil they called for in the recipe.

For someone with little-to-no experience, that huge brownie was a NO-NO. God, I felt like such a moron. IN THE ER FOR A FUCKING POT BROWNIE!

So put it in brownies and eat it, or use a vaporizer. Smoking's not necessary at all if you don't want.
