I have a friend who was in a car accident years ago. He has had problems with his neck and vision related to the surgery he had twenty years ago after the accident.

He was given therapy and pain killers which helped with the pain but he still had trouble sleeping. Six months ago he started using medical marijuana to help deal with his problem,. He is now off of the pills, feels more active and can now get solid rest at night. He is straight as an arrow, religious and a family man. There have been some posts here implying that marijuana use indicates some sort of mental problem. I think there is a lot of propaganda out there that prejudices people against medical use of marijuana.

When you take into account cost, side effects, and overall effectiveness MJ has a number of uses that easily trumps conventional "legal" drugs. It's funny because when my wife was going through pharmacy school one of their classes had a fun little side project where they did a compare/contrast between weed and normal pharmaceuticals that are clinically prescribed and in several very common situations the weed was actually the best suggestion for the persons problems.

People who have never tried it certainly are missing out, but then again anyone who hasn't been to a 100 person Orgy is also missing out. Or bungie jumped from the Eiffel Tower or hiked to the North Pole. People can't experience everything.

That said, if one wants to focus on a Philosophical Thought, Pot makes it more than just a mental exercise. It makes it an experience you just can't have any other way.
 
Regardless of whether one has or hasn't, why the hell would you brain dead idiots post about it online, in what essentially becomes a permanent record, knowing that potentially, there's a future employer who is going to do a thorough background check on you and simply toss your resume in the out pile - not necessarily for using, but rather for being such a dumbass that you don't see the problem here.

You think I'm going to tell future employers that I use the name "coldmeat" on an online forum? There is nothing connecting me to my alias on this forum besides my IP.

Wait a second, you don't put your Internet names on your Resume? Drats, maybe that's why I can't get no CEO Jobs! D:
 
No. I don't even know where to get it even if I wanted to. I guess I just drive around looking for shoes over a power line and start knocking at doors? "Hey, do you have some weed, oh ok my bad, wrong house"

God no. My roommate rolls joints in our dorm room (shh, don't tell anyone) and the smell of it is so incredibly repulsive..

almost forgot, I don't know where to get it, I have no intention of finding out, I'd rather spend the money elsewhere, and I just can't imagine wanting to put that shit inside of my body. ugh..

oh, and I support legalization; I don't see why not as anyone determined to get their hands on it can already do so, plus the potential benefits of taxing it, etc are huge.

Fourth edit...I don't need drugs to make me happy

Because:

1) Jobs aren't everything. In fact, to some people they're nothing.
2) What's right matters more than what is...and what's right is for businesses to mind their own damn business.
3) Anything which stifles the free exchange of information is a negative for all mankind.

Because it is necessary to martyr yourself whenever possible, should righteousness so require.

I have no problem with people that don't want to do it just because. I don't like cigarettes. I don't like salt. But to be self-righteous about it and belittle people that like to do it, go away.

You can't miss anything you've never had.😎

I've never had Jennifer Aniston, and I miss that. :colbert:

Anyway, I used to partake for medicinal reasons. It really helped my appetite, as I was losing a ton of weight due to the disease. However, the disease (not AIDs mofo's, cervical dystonia) has no cure and I didn't want to have MJ around the family forever so after "adjusting" my appetite I quit.

MJ is such a light drug compared to the legal shit I have been prescribed. Alcohol and tobacco are much more harmful, yet MJ is illegal? BS IMO after being on both sides of the issue.
 
I smoked last weekend and had some of the most incredible sex I've had in a long time. When I felt the climax coming, I pulled out, and I experienced every sensation of an orgasm, but nothing came out. So after 15 seconds of what felt like a full blown orgasm I was still erect and able go right back at it again. And leading up to the O I lasted about 15 minutes longer than I do when I'm sober.

I <3 weed and I <3 what it does to my sex drive and abilities. I also <3 at how chicken wings taste when I'm high, all food tastes a lot better. But when I eat some buffalo wangs I almost start to cry tears of joy.

I find that it makes me clean a lot. I start scrubbing the floors and doing normal things, like dusting.

:hmm:
