<< i mean, yeah.. drinking is fun and all.. but do i care how much you drank? nope.. not at all.. >>



For sure man!!!!
 
Like, what do you mean man? Just keep in the grooooove...oh wow this sh*t is wicked man...oh man....man oh man...this is some damn good bud, man!
 
marijuana is not addictive, it's a fact

Physically I do believe you're right, but psychologically anything can be addictive if it becomes habitual. I'm not sure "habitual" is addictive though...you won't get withdrawal symptoms but certainly somebody who has smoked a joint every day for a year after work and is suddenly told to stop will feel an emptiness.
 
Well, I smoke basically every other day when in college. Over the winter and summer breaks, I dont smoke, and I dont miss it. Its really not that big of a deal.

Cigarettes are a whole other story though. Now THATS an addiction.
 
Hehehe, well, yes, those who go on about it like it was their personal green Jesus do. 🙂

Like Althor27 said though, it is just a clique thing. Cliques encompass many facets of life and are a subset of any group. Each sport has a clique, every musical style, every religion, substance abusers/users, every economic class, and even every sex has those who take a widely accepted thing, then turn it into a special thing to take pride in. Almost all these people are annoying to those who don't share their views, because they won't stop talking about it no matter how boring it is.HEHE, I know I always want to talk about computer related stuff and I can see in other peoples eyes when my subject matter has gone for mildly interesting to "I wish I would just die!". 😀

Back when I partook, I remember the kind of people you are talking about. They'd be going on about "pot this...pot that" and I'd be, "Dude! Pass the dube already!". Then we'd all laugh. 😀
 


<< I find it funny and sad that people more or less brag about smoking pot. Yeah, way to go. It must be really ego-boosting to find life so boring/sufferable/unpleasant that you have to take a hallucinogenic drug to enjoy it. >>



You have to smoke so much pot to hallucinate, it's not even funny. Pot's affects are much more like alcohol in that they are a depressant rather than a psychedic.

Psychedelic drugs are not meant to be tools for escape. They are mental bridges, psychic pathways and doorways. There is nothing you can see/feel on a psychedelic that you can't experience either by chance, or through meditation or spirtual enlightenment. But psychedelic drugs offer a way to hot-wire your brain and force into those experiences.

Implying that psychedelics are no different than alcohol, optiates (heroin, morphine, etc), or even nicotine, is a very mis-informed point to make. Almost every religion on the planet bases their beliefs on visions seen on psychedelics. But I can't think of one that bases their beliefs on the ramblings of a pot-head, a drunk, or a junkie.

Like posting on ATOT!
 
I do, there is the pothead that think he is soo smart and knows everything and he think he has a future in construction and is going to be successful........errr I can't stand him, I would kick his ass but he is about 300 pounds, that's why I won't fight him. 😀
 
Drug testing got rid of em. Drug testers love those types cause they are easy to detect and fun to play with before the test. They try to hide their pot ues by drinking 5 gallons of water before the test. HAHA..that does'nt work any more. Then they get caught and have to go thru rehab..or get fired. 😉
 
I hate when potheads start talking about hemp, and how it's a goverment conspiracy that they do not make rope out of it. According to the potheads, a hemp rope can lift 10000 tons without breaking, try that with nylon. Potheads, hahahaha.
 
Whenever somebody says something that thrashes my established brainways I call them a pothead to help me settle back to sleep.

Alot fewer people would think I was on something if they realized that like the statement above written in the first person, it is something that, having recognized the truth therin contained long ago, no longer applies to me, but to you. I just put it that way because finding fault in me is alot earser for you than seeing it in yourself. A truth once seen out there has a way over time of being gently absorbed.

Mullah Nasrudin claimed he could see in the dark. Several people commented that he was often seen at night with a flashlight. That's to keep you from running in to me, commented the Mullah.

thomsbrain,

who are the brothers who wrote about the mushroom being the cause for the arising of human consciousness? See what happens? Can't remember anything.



 


<< who are the brothers who wrote about the mushroom being the cause for the arising of human consciousness? See what happens? Can't remember anything. >>



Testing or trying to remember? In any case, I'm not sure. Tried looking around for awhile, couldn't find any references to "brothers" in their use through history... but I'm sure I'm just missing something. It's not Aristotle, is it?

profound depression would be one withdrawel symptom of pot addiction.

well i understand what you mean but technically everything in anybody's daily routine is habitual, let me make an example:
i do not like school, but i cannot quit school. if i dont have my daily school (weekdays) i feel empty as if i missed out on something but when i go to school i feel disapointed in having to hang around lunch hour doing absolutely nothing just wanting to lie down and go to sleep but i cant

now doesn't that sound EXACTLY like what happens with cigarettes? if it's not a physical addiction then it's just not an addiction

funny i should mention this though, i did a report for school a while back and found out that Cocaine is NOT PHYSICALY ADDICTIVE, but it makes you sad if you don't have some as a result of it blocking out sadness for the while and having it flood in when coke wears off
Heroine on the other hand is physicaly addictive, if you go without heroine for a few days you start tripping out and freaking out, even after a person is 'rehabilitated' they will crave heroine for up to and sometimes more than a YEAR! this goes for all narcotics. let me remind you that something is only a narcotic if it is MADE FROM OPIUM, so if a cop pulls you over and you have some weed in the car and he asks if there are any narcotics in the car you can say with a straight face "no officer there are no narcotics" and keep a straight face in knowing you are telling the truth
