Same thing. Something that either side can consider an artificial way to feel good.

Do the Sunday Christians believe in anything that is in the Bible? Believe in it? If you answer the affirmative, that immediately puts them several orders of magnitude higher on the "is this a way of life?" scale than casual drug users. There is no belief involved in taking a toke. No more than eating a meal or taking a piss or having sex.

Social drug user or drinkers you say? Got me there, I would hardly consider church a social function.

Uh, no I didn't say.

Radical christians = Alcholics and druggies?

Casual drug users = sunday christians?

The parallels are there.

See first point.

I grew up in Oak park. I doubt there's anything on this planet that would surprise me.

Yo yo yo, let me back up off yo grill g, I dint mean no disrespec! Oak Park represent dawg!

When have you ever seen me make any comment resembling that string of trash that you threw out as some fvcked up attempt at humor? If you have a racial issue with me just say so ya bigoted little pos.

I'm sure smoking ten joints of oregano pr. day would be harmful.
But not from my own, but from someone i knew's experience. Abuse of anything is harmfull. Meat, pot, cigarettes, alcohol.

Seems a waste, your body would be high all day from a lot less then that even with tolerance.....*shrugs*


well, nm on second thought I knew a big samoan doorperson who smoked that much...

Nicest mellow guy I met in ages, could throw a drunk skin a good 5 feet out the door in one heave if you pissed him off though...and light right back up...

Hey buddy, thanks for completely ignoring the more important points I was trying to make to focus on a completely irrelevant comment. Who said anything about race? You're really going out on a limb here, do you make angry phone calls to Comedy Central when you see a stupid "gangsta speak" joke on South Park? I don't even know where Oak Park is anyway.

No, trust me, some people do that, and are still fairly level headed, i know two or three.
The thing is, who cares about what rip posted? Anything used in large amounts is harmfull (well, almost anything).

I dont think rip does...he hauled it out of this thread.....again

I guess this week is rip's week for reefer madness threads..

Hmm... Taking a toke has never made me want to start a war based on lies or try to turn one social group against another for political advantage.

Those New Zealand scientists should consider that scientific proof that pot is far superior to born again Christianity.

So somebody call me a doctor before I go psychotic and/or die of lung cancer and/or high levels of cholesterol.

But do it tomorrow, please.

Sounds like you are on same project as me. Mine was completed yesteday too.

Back on the job hunt for me

WTF smokes 10 doobs of high quality Chronic in a day? Hell the last time I smoked pot was about 6 years ago and I was gone after about 3 or 4 hits.

I don't see anybody being attacked, people are just pointing out that maybe getting all worked up about one particular habit that could be damaging seems a little silly. A study comparing "regular" users of weed to regular users of alcohol would probably be very interesting.

Maybe, but I don't think we should outlaw religion just because I don't agree with it. All I was saying is that this focus on weed is rather silly, imho, since there are a lot of things that are bad for you that people do anyways. Whatever bad habit you have, whether it's weed, booze, eating too much, random unsafe sex, smoking, sitting around not getting any exercise, whatever your bad habit is, you probably have one. We all do. But the government isn't our mommy, bad habits are a part of life.

Who wants to be high all day? In fact I don't even like being high at all, I believe being clear headed is much more enjoyable than having the fog of inebriation cloud your brain.

I had no problem quitting pot, one day I decided I was tired of being stoned all the time (or as I put it, tired of being tired) and just stopped completely without any physical or psychological effects what so ever.

Good post. The government is not our hired nanny to watch out for us and make sure we never hurt ourselves.

I agree.

On the flip side I thinks it's important that the public be well informed of any potential harmful effects.

Well I sure was never stoned all day - but it sounded like it only took you 3-4 hits to be gone all day. Thus I asked - "all day?"

"quitting" isn't something I had to do since I was never a daily or otherwise "regular" stoner.

Yeah, but the people smoking 10 j's every day were people i'd have guessed were gonna end up on drugs/wellfare whatever. Kids from rich families that didn't have a thing going with their parents, regarding communication, sad.

I was just thinking that same thing; of course, the difference is, I am guessing, that you do not see following Christ as the cure for mental illness but the mental illness itself.

I encourage you to find out what psychologists define as "crazy". If you do, you will find that insanity is a function of your inability to hold a job have friends and contribute to society.

As for marijuana, I have noticed that none of these experiments take into account that those who are already likely to develop a mental illness go to these things in an attempt to self medicate. It is like saying that alcohol makes you depressed because there are many depressed drunks, it fails to take into account all those that get drunk because they are depressed.

In fairness if they would set aside what is stopping there emotional and spiritual development they would be able, to get right with the Lord and accept the forgiveness and healing that is freely available to all.

WTF smokes 10 doobs of high quality Chronic in a day? Hell the last time I smoked pot was about 6 years ago and I was gone after about 3 or 4 hits.

Finally: marijuana is psychologically addictive, builds tollerance and very bad for your lungs, ask my ex 19 year old room mate who?s got the smokers hack of a 60 year old and hits that bong every 30min in the day and 2hours while he sleeps. The number who marijuana on a weekly basis is less than 1/10th the number who just alcohol, partly because it?s not physically addictive, partly because pot sucks, and partly because prohibition will keep a high portion of the people from using something.

For a small percentage of those who smoke it. The vast majority have no problems what se ever quitting.

it also, as you observed, doesn't build a tolerance in those who smoke it but once a year. But if you look into the marijuana culture you'll find that most smoke quite often, just as the drinking culture consists mostly of those that drink every day after work.

I?ll suggest that without prohibition we would see an increase in marijuana smokers to a point similar to the number of alcohol consumers, those see an equivalent growth in those who cause others to suffer the negative social consequences of unproductive stoners.Vancouver is a good example of a similar culture ware decriminalization has been tried. It?s a failed experiment in welfare system + pot.

Nah you are wrong. I use to smoke it on a daily basis and I never built up a tolerence for it. I might have gotten use to be able to dunction while high but when I smoked really good pot it never took me more and more just to get the same high. Back in my late teens till my late 20's I was almost a daily smoker as were most of my friends and almost all of us now days do not smoke pot anymore and I don't seem to recall any of them having any difficulty quitting.
