damn my friend got busted for pot... 1 gram....

[coolied]

if you're gonna smoke weed, smoke it at home............. keep it at home, and don't go out driving places to get it, if you need to get some have it brought to you or walk or take the bus/cab........... to me a person who drives around with weed deserves no more sympathy than someone driving around with an open bottle of vodka........... sure you might not be drinking/smoking it right that moment, but the potential and temptation is right there next to you.......... IMHO

This is a wayy out of proportion accusation. People don't do shit like this when they're high, they do it when they're drunk. Which is hiliarious because drinking is legal.

Weed for all!

now he's looking at max penalty of 180 days (it will be probated)
drug ed class
60+ hrs community service
suspended license for 6 months
narcotics anon classes
and $1000+ in fines
not to mention the $1000 bail.


all for 1 gram. that's about 1 cigarette worth for the non weed savvy people.

Texas pot laws are RIDICULOUS.

There should be mandatory jail time for such nonsense posting on AT.

the ironing. it tastes delicious.

lolz

... Pot has crazy side-effects (long term synapse damage)...

Any proof of this?

x2.
i don't know how I skipped over that the first time.

i want some kind of source to back that up. I've never heard that in my life.

this refers to fairly recent published research in rats. iirc, it seems to have permanent effects on short-term, and not long-term damage. I think the dose has to be unreasonably high though...but not a stretch for some, I'm sure...

makes sense...

lol just because you have something with you, doesn't mean temptation is there to use to.
if it is, that person has the worst self control imaginable. you should be able to put something in a bookbag and completely ignore it until you arrive at your destination. and only if your an alcoholic or pothead will you have the temptation to use it right then anywhere, and again, bad self control if so.

temptation and giving in is just pathetic in a situation like that.

and the person bringing you something obviously has to drive to get it. pot dealers don't deliver. lmao
they aren't like the delivery guy in Half Baked.

permanent short-term memory loss/damage? like, after smoking so much, even when sober you'll have less ability to recall things in short-term memory? so effectively your short-term memory capacity is smaller/harder to get into?
i've heard this before, but never really believed it considering, while some potheads are like that, it seems the people who are like that tend to make themselves into that character, i.e. the typical stoner character. seems weird. because i've known some very smart individuals who love weed and maintain great grades in school and would never guess they love the reefer from their outward appearances. actually, both me and my sister knew individuals in are our highschool that fit that description.
so it almost seems kind of hit-or-miss in terms of 'damage', or is there really 'damage' or just a personality alteration, say, if the person were to let it happen? sounds strange sure, but I'm sure everyone has met people who fit both descriptions.

From everything I've read, the short-term memory is only affected while under the influence.

I love the BS thepd7 is spouting. It's the FUCKING LAW, bend over and take it!! There are good laws, and there are bad laws. And there are laws that have unnecessary or too harsh repercussions. While marijuana will not be legal anytime soon, that doesn't mean you can't complain about consequences of breaking said law. Oh, and i don't think anyone specifically posted to come "bitch" at you (prior to your posts), but rather, you decided to come in this thread and bitch about the law.

And you're a little too idealistic about our current political system.

LOL I never said bend over and take it, but if you can't accept the consequences of your actions then I am not the one with the problem.

I am not idealistic, but obviously yall are so pasisonate about this subject you are doing something, right? I mean, you have written your senator, right? How about donate to a cause that is trying to legalize pot? Huh? Anyone?

Originally posted by: electronicmaji
Sorry but as much as we write and protest the senators are handed to much money by anti hemp and cannabis industries to care. Thats how it was outlawed in the first place. Consumers have no power against big industries willing to grease the plams of our corrupt politicians. As it stands in america we have laws without representation from the common man.....

OK then organize the tobacco companies to give money to the senators, do you realize how much money they will make if pot is legalized but regulated and they can sell MJ cigs?


I am hearing tons of excuses but I am willing to bet not one of you has done ANYTHING about it. If you feel pasisonately, do something. Otherwise, if you are like me, but don't care THAT much, then dela with the consequences of breaking the law.


edit: and the only way that you can have laws without representation from the common man is if the common man is an idiot and refuses to vote. If any of you don't vote on a regular basis please just stop posting immediately.

The tobacco comapnies lost their power in congress long ago. Marijuana != Tobacco. The planting processes are totally different. Marijuana grows wild all over the earth and is one of the easiest things in the world to grow. Tobacco on the other hand not so much. People are more likely to grow their own then buy it officially.

The point that person was making is that money controls congress, the tobacco companies certainly have craploads of money, and it doesn't matter about the process or anything else. If tobacco companies made pot cigs and sold them legally would you really risk prison time and home-grow?

I never said that tobacco = MJ just that the tobacco companies have the money to influence congress (if it is as electronicmaji says and they just blindly take bribes) and the have a possibility for tons of money if MJ is legalized.

From everything I've read, the short-term memory is only affected while under the influence.

Conclusions: Very heavy use of marijuana is associated with persistent decrements in neurocognitive performance even after 28 days of abstinence. It is unclear if these decrements will resolve with continued abstinence or become progressively worse with continued heavy marijuana use.

http://www.neurology.org/cgi/content/abstract/59/9/1337

Out of curiosity, I googled it and fount this.

Basically even if you stop 28 days later it is still effecting you.

The neurocognitive effects on the test group were present through-out the group. They apparently established a direct relationship between an increased amount of joints, and poor results on the memory test, manual dexterity etc.

all I know is a good friend of mine is one of the top Neurologists in the US and he's quite the fan of lighting up a bowl.... good enough for me
