Alcohol can be addictive if you have a little bit. You are 12, stop arguing about stuff you have no knowledge about. You are OBVIOUSLY still under the influence of propaganda.

Oh.. and you can't get "second hand smoke" from inhaling used pot. You would only get high. And it's called a Contact High, not second hand smoke ahahaha... :laugh:

I do pretty well with recall though (took me alot of practice to get to where I am :P). Another cool thing about being a stoner (well kind of cool I guess :P)...you can create a smoking device out of anything, literally :D.

Not to mention it is a automatic hangover cure, stress cure, settles the nerves, erases embaressment entirely (I haven't felt embaressed in years...I'm just like "f*** it...what can ya do", lol.

Haha I can relate to that post in so many ways, I really need to master your recall skills because you're totally right when you say it makes dreams WAY more exciting and out of the ordinary. The dream I had this morning was ridiculous, I WBTB'ed after smoking a bowl and I had a dream that I was jumping across huge moving glass platforms with my dog, they like shifted back and forth so you had to jump on them with the right timing, pretty intense! Then I dreamed I was motorcycle-ing off of sky scrapers which was AWESOME.

Try actually smoking it, it's a hell of a lot more interesting.

Weed + Food.

That doesn't look like brain-cell frying to me.

Cereal on weed..is damn be good. Heavenly, if I must say lol

I hate to harsh your buzz guys, but can we at least stay relatively on-topic? We know weed is great and makes life a lot nicer for a lot of people. Personal anecdotes are nice, but it quickly devolves into "man, I got so hiiigh one time, and it was awesome" and "dude, can-pipes really get you ripped!" The last legality thread got closed because of stuff like this.

Either that, or we need an official psychedelic psection.

You are a party pooper :|

I am going to make an all-out 'Marijuana & Psychedelics' thread, when the drug policy is cleared up between the moderators. It will be awesome haha.

Exactly. I actually find humor in self-embarrassment now, thanks to Cannabis.

I do not ever smoke to be "off my face", if you smoke just to get fucked up then you are using it for the wrong reasons. And that's because it's good for so much more! With alchohol the most you're going to do is get hammered. Pot is a mind-opening substance, in many ways.

UM, back me up on this one.

---

Ha ha, yep. People don't usually use pot for getting on their faces. They use alcohol and prescription pills for that. Pot is more of a, "Wow, look at that over there. Hey, I have an idea," kind of drug.

I agree as well.

Just heard a great interview on NPR with the head of NORML in California about the two propositions working thewir way through California legislature that would effectively legalize marijuana in California. It was a breif interview, but she made some very good points. I'll post a link as soon as it's up on their website (sometime tomorrow probably).

I hope Texas is next. Better yet, the whole country.. :?

Hah. If the Texas Board of Education is any indication of the political opinion there, Texas is probably going to be the last state to legalize if it comes down to voter initiative. If a nationwide bill is passed, Texas republicans will kick and scream until forcibly removed from office.

I'm just hoping for meds in my area. We had a bill once in Ohio, but it died.

Yea that's kind of what I thought.. :? Oh well, I'm doing just fine getting it while it's illegal. A dispensary would be nice though :roll:

I guarantee Virginia will be one of the last (if not THE last) to legalize. Some of the laws here are absolutely ridiculous.

Actually, he was trying to stay within the bounds of the discussion so that it can continue, which is something that everyone should be doing.

There's another one, or so I've been told. Will be on the ballot this year. I would look for a source but I'm sick as a dog.

I would(especially since I've got an ear infection and a bad back), but I've only got $10 and I've joined a local crusade which prevents me from smoking schwag. Strangely enough it was started by one of my professors who encourages everyone to grow their own weed.

LOOL. According to the Mozilla Spellchecker, Schwag is not a word, but Schwa is.

Momuntz, it is that sort of thing that got the last one of these threads locked. Please don't talk in here about how much you love pot. The issue of the thread is way too important for the thread to end.

Moderators, if you want to interject here, please just delete the posts that are against the rules and don't lock the thread. Thanks.

Sorry to get more off topic, but what is the status of the drug policy here? I heard that it was going to be changed, which it ought to be, because honestly what is so harmful about people who smoke weed talking about smoking weed? It's not like we're talking about how to make crack pipes or something. Is this in someway corrupting the minds of the youth (who aren't even supposed to be members of this site if I remember correctly)? It's not in anyway illegal, or harmful to talk about weed in any context that I'm aware of(other than stating that you are in possession of weed to a police officer), so where's the beef?

Sorry, but I think it's absurd that we have to act like children and avoid certain taboo subjects, especially one such as why we like marijuana.

Patience, my young padiwan.

In other news...

So, there were few guys in one of my classes talking about the bills in California, and they seemed to be for it. Note, they're of the type that wouldn't touch weed with a 10 foot pole, nor alchohol. It's encouraging to hear that kind of talk, it really is.

I heard a similar conversation between my neighbors the other week, both were of the same kind of people who wouldn't touch weed either. Indeed, it's inspiring.

Just thought I'd revive this thread as I light up a bowl of sweet hemp for the first time in a month or so! :) I lost all of my connects, so I grew my own for 3 weeks, then smoked the straight leaves (it was dying anyway. I had to move the plant, and the transplant shocked the roots). I'm pretty high, and it's great! Here's a picture, it is sooo beautiful! <3 I didn't expect to actually get this high, but I suppose it isn't too surprising, as the leaves smelled like sweet skunk. Smells good.

Hell yeah man! I've heard a lot of people not being ableto smoke because they lose their connections or move somewhere, but I've never heard of someone having that happen then just growing their own :D now that's being resourceful haha. Where abouts do you live? When I lived in Colorado weed is easier to get than anything, you can have it delivered to your house if you're a medical patient, but when I moved to Scotland finding weed was next to impossible till I learned my cousin was the biggest stoner in the highlands haha, it was from there that I realized that unless you're in a desert or somewhere else devoid of civilization, finding weed is always possible it's just a matter of finding who has it, bars are a good place to start.

Drugs ARE bad for you, but I do not consider pot a drug, because it is A. Not physically addictive (It's about as addictive as a good video game, there are no actual physical properties in pot that make it in any way physically addictive, meaning it's not like nicotene which actually physically addicts you. Mental addiction can be anything, you can be mentally addicted to masturbation for fuck's sake), and B. It does absolutely nothing to harm you, besides making you unmotivated due to your own actions. Lung cancer and pot are completely unassociated, and it's also been found that cigarette smokers who ALSO smoke weed LIVE LONGER. There are no known deaths as a result of smoking pot, and there is no possible way to overdose. (Maybe possible, but you'd have to smoke about 10 times your body weight).

So please, don't generalize it as just another 'drug' because it is certainly, absolutely, not. The 'gateway drug' argument is valid, but only as a result of pot prohibition. If pot were legal, you wouldn't be buying it from people who also sell other drugs and that's exactly what makes it a gateway drug. Again, there is no property of weed that could ever encourage you to want a better high, or to try a different drug, the only way it could feasibly be a gateway drug is because of the fact that is is illegal. Alcohol could be just as easily considered a gateway drug if it were illegal and you were buying it from people with other actual drugs.

I had the misconception about pot when I was growing up, and so did everyone else. We all thought it was evil shit at one point, it's just a matter of actually trying it for yourself and realizing how simple and awesome weed is. (Kind of like being afraid of an intimidating waterslide as a kid and then finally getting convinced to go on it, and completely disproving previous fears and uncertainty about the slide itself.) Booze is legal, alcohol is far more of a drug than THC (weed) will ever be. It's far, far more harmful to you than any weed will ever be - yet it's legal, smart world right?

Food for thought, please consider my words without dismissing them as misinformation as it is quality valid information, not an opinion.

A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. [source: wikipedia]
Marijuana is a substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function.
Therefore, marijuana is a drug.

I think what you're actually trying to say is to not generalize marijuana as a drug with negative physical effects.
