Eh, maybe he can get a job at a dispensary - he probably knows more about the merchandise than 99% of people and the employee discount will keep him happy. Let him sleep in the back on a cot and you never have to worry about him showing up late for work. If not, the typical ski resort employee fits the same mold.

You smoke cigarettes, which is a fucking gross, disgusting, horrid addiction, and you talk shit about a pot smoker? This is as fitting a time as ever for a signature John Connor "LOL!".

OP smokes cigs?


Hold on..... LOfknL. Really? I used to smoke cigs as well but finally got away from those nasty, disgusting, cancer-causing, killing, addicting, shit smelling things.

So are you against weed or against people who are fucking worthless and won't get a job?

Posting in a joke thread, there's no way in hell you can be serious OP.

We stopped at McDonalds for dinner in case my mom had a blood clot.

"I recommend everyone grab a Bible, a pack of cigs and join me in a rant about pot legalization" on the next Phil Donahue....Dr. Phil...Dr. Donahue....Dr. Phil Donahue....Dr... Dr.. Doctor!...DOCTOR!

*snort* "HUH? What is it? What time is it?"

Nurse: "Dr. It's 3 am and your favorite patient is in here after a drinking and smoking binge again."

Doctor: "John Connor again? Aww jeez just give him ASA and a banana bag and wake me when my shift starts"

Nurse: "Also he says his mom needs an ultrasound but he's all alone..."

Doctor: "Tox screen and call psych."

Nurse: "Yes Dr."

So I'm at McDonalds and just step out of the car and this guy walks up to me and says he's from Utah, moved here because pot is legal and said he's looking for something to eat. I told him I don't have any cash on me, but I'd buy him three Mc Doubles (I use a debt card exclusively.). He wanted to give me a hug, but I gave him a fist bump instead.

All the time I was in the Mc Donalds I was thinking to myself, "this dude isn't going to be employable." I mean if your are that dependent on a drug where you uplift from one state over and come here to Colorado just because pot is legal you have issues. Dude will probably feed off Joe dirt tax payer all his life.

Now some of you may say, "why buy him anything?" And I say I have given money to all kinds of homeless people and chances are they bought booze or drugs, but it's the thought that counts I guess. At least this guy stated his was hungry, so I bought him some food. But dude seriously needs to get his shit straightened out. :rolleyes:

Since the asshole Coloradans voted in pot legalization we have seen more damn homeless and actual fuck ups on the street. It's just ridiculous.

If its true that you smoke tobacco, your rant is the equivalent of an alcoholic bitching about koolaid.

You people really try to grasp at straws, don't you?

I was taking my mom to the ER to have her leg checked out after the nurse practitioner at Urgent Care told her she needed an ultra sound. We stopped at McDonalds for dinner in case my mom had a blood clot. She wasn't sure if she would have to stay over night. Do I really need to turn a to the point post into a fucking diary of what I encountered today? Here's what I think: Your posts are made up!

I don't have a problem with people smoking pot in general, but this guy, by his mannerisms and saying shit like, "oh Colorado is so cool I can smoke pot and on and on, I'm hungry could you spare some money so I can buy a few sandwiches?"

Two of my younger cousins smoke weed and I give 'em shit about it all the time. But they are not a major stoner that this guy was that I encountered. I mean this guy was like Haley's boyfriend that lives in his shity van in the cartoon American Dad. Complete with poncho hoodie.

Sounds to me like you have a problem with the person's behavior.

But you're directing your response at the wrong thing.

It'd be like me seeing a drunk taking a piss on my car, but since he asked for water, I literally get on ATOT and complain about WATER. That damn water making people piss on stuff.

Doesn't make much sense, does it?

That's a bunch of BS you just threw in there to try to make your point. Because if that was true, then I would see less homeless around here since they are all moving to Colorado to smoke pot, when in fact the homeless problem only seems to be getting worse all over Texas since Colorado legalized it. Do you think there might be a connection there, too? Of course not. You really need to check your reality perception filter, because I think it's a bit smeared with prejudice.

But if a dirty, smelly wino said he moved into a cardboard box in the alley behind you just because Colorado has a lot of super cheap wine shops, then by all means post again about the horrors of alcohol addiction and the fact alcohol is legal in Colorado. And don't forget to mention that he's not employable with piss stains on the front of his pants and puke on his shirt. At least then we might take you seriously. Or then again, maybe not.

There are plenty of people who use drugs, where it does not constitute a 'drug problem'. Drug usage does not equal a problem unless someone has let it become one. Most common example being the widespread use of the drug alcohol, only some people become alcoholics. Alcohol is just like the other drugs in that you can use it responsibly or become an addict. This is true of people who smoke pot, snort coke, drink alcohol and do whatever other drugs.

The ideal is one day all drugs are fully legalized and taxed like alcohol and tobacco currently are. This will solve the big issues of drugs with the criminal gangs, mafias and cartels that deal in them and the violence that comes from it. In one fell swoop you destroy their business overnight and put it in the hands of pharmaceutical companies. They'll produce and distribute the product for a price drastically lower than illegal drugs currently sell for and give a guarantee of a pure product. Then you save billions that is wasted on law enforcement, incarcerating offenders and the judicial system trying to stop the unstoppable. At the same time you increase tax revenue. Take a fraction of that money and put it to education and harm reduction like we've seen done with tobacco, and realize the same reductions in usage. Use the rest to do something actually useful and attainable, rather than trying to tell people what they can and can't ingest if they choose to.

The tobacco growers are on decline as nicotine addiction continues to decline. Moving them over to growing marijuana and industrial hemp would be a best case for them.

I assume the main problem with this scenario is putting a whole lot of cops, lawyers, judges, jail guards etc. out of business. They're wasting their time currently though, so in the end it would still be for the best.
Great post.

I'm not even going to respond. A simple meme will do. And this meme is for all future posts to people who think a drug problem will make you employable.

How laughable. Would you like a looong list of famous and successful businessmen and other celebrities who admit to smoking pot, and it hasn't seemed to hurt them in the least?

Hence the "nerd" tags. Potheads are a thing, they are involved with the delivery of electricity.

edit: I see this has already been discussed.

Substation potential transformers? That's not a pot head. Pot heads are those connections on riser poles where they terminate the underground cable.

If you really love something, don't you try to make enough money to afford it? I mean, on top of basic needs like food and shelter.
