Wow, good job, you sure did the world a favor. :roll:

Of course. It seems so logical that all the statisticians running these (government?) surveys are in it with the huge marijuana and cocaine lobbies. How can we trust their statistics when they're obviously bought and paid for?

Why is it so hard to believe decriminalization actually works?

That was in response to this:

1000 people smoking in the college area any given night... go get em!

(Smoking it in the room next to their RA's room (me) with so much of it that it comes through the wall as well as into the hall is about as dumb as they come)

I would like to think that will help those students get their lives together, so hopefully I, at least in the long term, ended up doing them a favor!

They are paid for them - congratulations! How in the world can they possibly generate any quantifiable number in the first place though!?!?!

Actually, you just made them move to another place to smoke and probably looked like a douchebag during the process. Though I understand RA's gotta take care of that or they lose their job and free housing.

I can guarantee that you did not help them "get their lives together" because they probably didn't need help in the first place (they were in college weren't they?)

you can keep thinking that if it makes you feel better though...

They definitely weren't moving anywhere but back with their parents...

Job and housing is a benefit of the job, but absolutely not my driving force in that job. I like helping people - that is quite simply why I enjoy and take pride in that job.

So you are saying that people who go to college always have their life together at that point? They most definitely weren't grateful for being blessed with the ability to go to college/succeed. Seems to me that they were needlessly squandering it.

It kills me to see that you apparently think I revel in seeing kids getting taken away in hand cuffs. That is one of the worst feelings I have experienced in my life the first time I saw that 🙁 - so don't for one second think that I enjoy seeing people get in trouble!!

I didn't mean to say you enjoy it. However my life would be quite a bit worse off now had I been taken away in handcuffs and kicked out of school instead of being allowed to graduate and get a good job despite my smoking the entire time.

It helps some people and hurts others, do you feel comfortable taking that risk? This is especially true for marijuana... which _a_lot_ of people smoke casually all the time. Yeah, if the kid is shooting up heroine then by all means go help em.

 

[amddude]

I don't know that smoking weed in college is squandering your time there, or your education. Certainly not more than any other activity.

Well I don't believe they are expelled - but I believe they are suspended for a while.

There is absolutely no situation where it can help people. 0. Nada. None. There are no positive health (or otherwise) benefits from any drugs. (Though I perhaps misunderstood your argument there 😉 - were you referring to me helping them? or the marijuana lol?)

-Kevin

 

[Insomniator]

I was talking about you helping them or not... I just personally know a lot if kids that would have been screwed had they been caught and sent home but instead they graduated and are just fine. Now I'm sure there are also some that do nothing and drop out, but plenty that do not smoke do that also.

My view is that it is no different than drinking so we are on different levels here. Freakin everyone drinks in college yet somehow, people still have great jobs... weird.

I don't want society wasting it's time trying to prevent people from ingesting something, but there's no reason to get all excited about it unless you're one of the morons who use.

This coming from a guy whose username is PokerGuy. Gambling is stupid, yet its legal in some states. I dont want society wasting time dealing with degenerate gamblers, but there's no reason to get all excited about it unless your one of the morons who gambles away all your money.

... dope is for dopers.

 

[frostedflakes]

I understand if you're an RA that stuff is kind of your job, but I'd probably just let it slide. If somebody wants to waste their life away smoking dope, who cares? That's their decision, not yours. And as Insomniator pointed out, many people can smoke *and* lead reasonably successful lives.

BTW, there are a number of medical uses for marijuana, so yes it can help people.

It's been a while since I've posted, but I just wanted to share this:

You are one of the most sad people I've heard from in a while. I bet you get real hard when they take those kids away, don't ya? I know you won't admit it, but I just want you to know we all know you do.

Have a nice day, buddy.

 

[Gamingphreek]

My view is that it is no different than drinking so we are on different levels here. Freakin everyone drinks in college yet somehow, people still have great jobs... weird.

For the record I don't. I turned 21 and had 1 beer just because I then could. I have 0 desire to drink (In fact, I only do so when I can't find anything else tasty to drink in the fridge). Doesn't do any good for myself or anyone else.

I understand if you're an RA that stuff is kind of your job, but I'd probably just let it slide. If somebody wants to waste their life away smoking dope, who cares? That's their decision, not yours. And as Insomniator pointed out, many people can smoke *and* lead reasonably successful lives.

BTW, there are a number of medical uses for marijuana, so yes it can help people.

There is no "letting it slide" they were doing drugs on campus! Next to an RA's room! I let something slide, I am indirectly condoning an action harmful to theirs and others' health, but also I would essentially be asking to get fired.

As for the "thats their decision" part:
A. They made it my decision by the fact that I could sense it in some way shape or form.
B. So since it is there decision, why worry banning anything at all. They are just ruining their lives after all.

As for the medical uses, sure there are some symptoms it helps alleviate - I'm sure if you have a headache, taking a drug in some way and being knocked out of it for 2 hours would help as well. Just because it helps in one area doesn't mean it doesn't hurt another (ie: Smoking apparently relaxes someone, but it also destroys a ton of things in their body).

As for leading reasonably successful lives - I'm sure they could be even more successful if they didn't do drugs 😉

A false assumption. I know lots of people who smoke to get away from the stress of their daily grind. They live their white collar lives working 9-8's and need something to keep their sanity.

 

[JS80]

Everyone in Portugal already use drugs. How would decriminalizing it there increase drug use? It's like decriminalizing drugs in skid row. Or decriminalizing weed in Venice Beach.

GP you are a giant DOUCHE narc! Reading your high horse remarks are almost comical.

Do you rat out people smoking cigarrettes too? WTF man. You're obviously brainwashed by the idea that MJ is terrible for you. I'd much rather my kids smoke weed than go out and drink, smoke cigs, or eat alot of mcdonalds. But I know the truth about the plant. You're just brainwashed.

Smoking weed isn't that bad for you. Abusing it (aka hitting a bong 150 times a day) isn't healthy, but still not as bad as smoking a pack of cigarrettes. Your brain actually has built in receptors just for THC. MJ has been proven to not cause lung cancer, and actually help PREVENT it. It relaxes people. It helps stressful minds unwind.

You're a fucktard.

My high nose remarks? What that I, along with a vast majority of people in this world don't do illegal drugs!?

Where did I say that I rat people out for anything?

Just because I don't drink much for my own reasons and didn't drink under 21 doesn't mean I judge other people if they drink under 21. You on the other hand seem to insult anyone's idea that doesn't coincide with yours.

You're a fucktard.

You also learned to support your insults by cursing too. Everything a well rounded argument needs...

Actually it sounds like the opposite would be true. You clearly have no experience with the topic at hand. Its not a knock on you, you are just one of those people that does not understand due to brainwashing, or just out of ignorance.

After seeing how myself was raised, and going to parties (which I'm guessing you did not) it is blatantly obvious that pot is the least of a parents problems. Smoking cigs and especially drinking are far more dangerous.

I sincerely hope you do not try to shelter and control your children to be modeled after yourself.
