If someone is smoking 20 1/4 joints..dont call the cops, call me!

I could use one today ;)

I would FedEx you one if it wasn't illegal.:p



Thanks, I don't really smoke, but it is the thought that counts ;)

ok, maybe there are 3 other people there helping him while they play WorldofWarcraft... but the place is filled with 2nd hand smoke from all that.
WhereTF do you live that you can get a pound for $200? That's about the price of an ounce here depending on the quality you want. I honestly want to know because you can make a killing off of that if you can get a pound for $200. You're really lucky if you can get it for $2000 here.

Unless your friend has lots of friends helping him smoke that quarter pound of weed, there's no way he can go through it in 3 days.

I call shens on the 2lbs/month smoker you apparently know. That's 8oz per week! ROFL.
He must be smoking grass clippings, and for $200/lb I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

Since your friend is possibly the heaviest consumer of cannabis in the history of the world you might
want to point him to vaporization to save his health.

I, and many informed cannabis consumers, use a medical grade vaporizer such as the Volcano thereby reducing harm levels far below smoking (tobacco or cannabis) and below the physical dangers of alcohol.

http://www.canorml.org/healthfacts/vaporizerstudy2.html
"The vapors from the Volcano® were found to consist overwhelmingly of THC, the major active component in marijuana, whereas the combusted smoke contained over 100 other chemicals, including several polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carcinogenic toxins that are common in tobacco smoke. The respiratory hazards of marijuana and tobacco smoke are due to toxic byproducts of combustion, not the active ingredients in the plant, known as cannabinoids."

The new study used a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS) to examine the gas components of the vapor. .The analysis showed that the Volcano® vapor was remarkably clean, consisting 95% of THC with traces of cannabinol (CBN), another cannabinoid. The remaining 5% consisted of small amounts of three other components: one suspected cannabinoid relative, one suspected PAH, and caryophyllene, a fragrant oil in cannabis and other plants. In contrast over 111 different components appeared in the gas of the combusted smoke, including a half dozen known PAHs. Non-cannabinoids accounted for as much as 88% of the total gas content of the smoke.

This is absurd. What you've posted is essentially impossible. He'd have to do nothing BUT smoke pot.

What is his job?

I have a bum knee from the service and spent 4 days home after twisting it good a few months ago on the subway, I smoked my brains out as someone gave me some as we cant afford medication, I fragged on the PC with my leg up with noone else here, and smoked an eighth of a OZ (50$ street value), a 1/8th, and I felt like I was seriously wasting it. (I didnt want it around my house) I was packing bowls all day and night, grew up around pot too, even though I generally hate drugs, even alcohol, you would have to be rolling joints as big around as my leg to go through as much as this guy is talking about. Total BS.

(And yes, it did help with pain greatly, and the guy at the corner store loved me as I bought him out of reeces cups that week.)

Standard Stoner, wait arent potheads lazy and unmotivated?
A QP is about 800$ worth of weed!!! I call shens. Maybe a Quarter in three days. That is a quarter of a OZ tho, 16 OZ to a pound, you are full of it.
No sh!t. What a load of BS.

I don't smoke anymore but I'd rather have my son smoke weed than drink booze.

typical stoner is on welfare or has his woman bring in the money.

What do you do? How is it you're friends with someone who you claim smokes a pound of weed a month (a claim I still maintain is laughable)?

Study finds marijuana not a cause for cancer


?Results 'against our expectations,' researchers say (Houston Chronicle)

Seriously man, reading that anti-MJ propaganda will make your nuts shrink, didn't you know?
You beat me to it.

from the link you provided:
"marijuana tar has 50 percent higher concentrations of chemicals linked to cancer than tobacco cigarette tar."

even your propaganda pages are truthful enough to admit that this stuff is deadly.

Thats exactly why they said their results were against their expectations. You should ask yourself why instead of ignoring the results just because they don't make sense to you and continuing to spout off lies. There have been studies indicating some cannabinoids have cancer fighting properties. Also realize that it's not just the tars in tobacco smoke that are linked to cancer. Ever wonder how so many spit/dip tobacco users get cancer of the mouth?

And the typical drinker drinks from a brown bag, beats his wife and children, has a bottle stashed in the toilet and served time for vehicular manslaughter.

well, they intake 2 pounds a month, to be fair he only does about half.

There have been studies indicating some cannabinoids have cancer fighting properties.
so now pot's the CURE for cancer?

stoner is the marijuana equivalent of an alcoholic. so the typical Alcoholic does beat his wife *1/3rd of all women live in abusive relationships* drinks from a brown bag *because that's what it's put in* and does drive drunk, the leading cause of vehicular manslaughter.

Hee hee - I must have unwittingly given him the benefit of the doubt.

When I was in college I had 4 close friends who lived in an apartment together and always had at least a few pounds there (they were small-time sellers). They smoked several times a day, each, and shared with their friends. There is no way they went through even two ounces a month, let alone two pounds.

So, will we also be seeing a thread from you dedicated to the far more insidious and far more dangerous substance, alcohol?
Or the devestating health effects of the fast food culture?
How many of the vices are you planning on saving us from? :)

Back pedal much?

You come with these stats allegedly showing how harmful smoking weed is and that "typical stoners" smoke the equivalent of 1-1/4 packs of joints/day or some such nonsense.

Now when shown that those are not typical smokers, if they even exist, you liken them to alcoholics :roll:
