By extension, we should also have the right to cultivate smallpox. What right would the govt have in cultivating something God gave to us in nature? And, in addition to being able to pick bluebonnets on land owned by the state of Texas along our highways, we should also be able to pluck tomatoes from our neighbors' backyard gardens and take their dogs off their porches. Afterall, God gave us these things, right?
What? You've got to be kidding me. How old are you? I'm short on time, so. Smallpox cultivation, killing, thou shalt not, do unto your neighbor, stealing, tomatoes, dogs, porches, thou shalt not, right? Whew! You've got to be kidding me.
MadMax - no belligerence intended. If you can't tell, our drug laws are a source of frustration and difficulty to a "good friend" at this time. Fundamentally, I fail to see any material difference between a shot a whiskey and a joint, other than our predecessors preferred whiskey. What we really need is fewer pithy slogans and more intelligent discourse on drug use, and more good information. I thought the British Lung Foundation missed an opportunity to make a meaninful contribution in order that they could reach a preordained political goal. 'Nuff said.
Of course, smoking pot is bad for your lungs, and creates other problems as well. But that doesn't mean it is bad period, or that it should be illegal. Don't despair, however, "Just say no" was designed by the geniuses on Madison Avenue just for people like you. Evidently you have never known anyone with serious medical problems for whom pot helps. In fact, it isn't funny at all, but I guess you think it's "comical." Since they don't have an appropriate "smilies" to insert here, please use your imagination.
You know...it's funny, Pipe...I agree with you that there's probably very little difference if any between pot and hard liquor. But even if it were made legal, I can't see me smoking a joint. I just can't envision myself doing it.
A three entire joint a day solo smoker is the equivalent of a 4-5 pack a day chain smoker as far as relative levels of smokingness go IMO
Hmm...plural. That should tell you something. You are a moron. You try and jump on the anti-mar1juana bandwagon by shooting down the "God created this therefore it should be used" argument by blatantly ignoring that cultivating (and using) smallpox is killing, and taking things from a neighbor is stealing.
What mar1juana addiction??? By the way, as other people have said, if you smoke three joints a day, every day... you're one mellow motherf*cker. No, seriously, I only know one guy who does that, of the many many people I know who smoke pot. It's just not feasible to smoke that much all the time! As opposed to cigarettes, where it's not only feasible but entirely probable that you'll smoke 20 or more a day...
If someone smoking three entire joints *by himself* per day then he has more immeadiate problems than cancer. A three-joint-a-day habitual smoker probably has loads of awful music, a serious addiction to Ben and Jerry's ice cream and one crusty pair of sweat pants.
Although really three joints a day is not that much. Most of a joint burns off anyway if you are smoking it by yourself. Uh...er...or so I hear.... And one in the morning (wake and bake), one in the afternoon, and one at night is pretty spread out.
Until the vast majority of mar1juana users die directly from mar1juana use, that is completely false.
Oh, o.k. You thought that I meant it is our God-given right to pick bluebonnets on land owned by the state of Texas. I meant pick your OWN flowers from your OWN garden from the SEED that YOU planted. I should have been more clear. I'm sorry. NEVER pick your neighbors' flowers or tomatoes without asking. That would be STEALING.
Tobacco does wonders for a wasp or bee sting. Here's to you RJ Reynolds! It ain't the cure for cancer, but damn those bee stings are a b!tch.
Joints are a really inefficient way of smoking anyway. I am a firm proponent of the adapted soft drink can. You don't waste any of it, and you save money by using less at a time. (Not to devolve into 'I was so stoned one time that...' stories, but the most stoned I have ever been - and this was quite recently - was using a bucket bong. That was almost *too* stoned. Didn't think there was such a thing as 'too stoned', but there you have it.)
Isn't stress one of the biggest killers in our society? When I am completely stressed out, and I smoke a cigarette, I feel much better. Besides, smoking is cool.
Be careful with that! I heard somewhere smoking off aluminum (or AL-LOO-MINI-UM, as they say here in the UK) causes alzheimers. Although if you've got nothing else... Got to be careful with the gravity bongs. Cut out 2 liters or milk jugs are ok, but once I, uh, heard about using one of those big five gallon water containers in a tub, and I think I, uh, heard about what you mean.
Substitute joint for cigarette and your statement still works... except for the cool part which is debatable.
