I generally consider you a level-headed, intelligent guy... but you would rat your kid out to the authorities and have him deal with court and the consequences, permanently marking his record, all because you caught him with a baggie of weed? Wow, some parent you'll be some day.

Oh and once you start doing pot, it's right off to heroin with ya. Then smack, PCP, meth and sooner or later you will be doing all sorts of jobs in an alley just to get your next fix. I'm surprised you're not at this stage yet. Unless you quit, I give you a few more months.

Are you serious? You're only spewing the bad news you hear from television anti-drug campaigns.

You never hear the good. Like how I smoked weed for 3 years, never got addicted, and got bored with it.

Like how thousands of functioning people, hell even some doctors smoke weed on the weekend.

You know it's not as damaging as alcohol, right? You also know that drunks get into a lot more trouble than people who are high do, right?

You've been programmed well.

im pretty sure that was sarcasm you quoted. thats how i took it at least.

i dont have many probs with pot, i smoked in school and quit without any withdrawals or major health effects. i do have friends that still smoke and cant seem to get off their asses to get a job, but im sure that has nothing to do with their pot smoking all day. the reason that

may be true is that after you drink youre more likely to go out and do something than after you smoke a couple bowls. cant get itno much trouble when youre glued to a couch watching fraggle rock reruns on hbo now, can ya?

This place is like a school of pirhanas. Everything is copasetic until someone shows weakness. Then they are devoured by the group.

When you post what the OP posted and continue to chime in the way the OP has, you are going to get more than a bite in the ass.

The OP lives in the Dominican Republic so I thought I'd look up the marijuana laws there. Holy Smoke, Batman! These would be enough of a deterrence for me, and everything I read says the laws are strictly enforced.

"A number of countries, including... the Dominican Republic..., have enacted more stringent drug laws which impose mandatory jail sentences for individuals convicted of possessing even small amounts of marijuana or cocaine for personal use."

In addition to the mandatory jail time there are fines and, if you can't pay the fines, you get a day in jail for every peso - up to two years IN ADDITION to the possession sentence.
And accomplices get the same punishment as the principal offender.

"MARIJUANA:
CATEGORY ONE: Simple Possession. This means possession of 20 grams or less.
CATEGORY TWO: Distributor, Vendor. This means possession of more than 20 grams and less than 1 (one) pound.
CATEGORY THREE: Trafficker. This means possession of 1 (one) pound or more.

CATEGORY ONE: Simple Possession.
Minimum: 6 months in prison and RD$1,500 fine.
Maximum: 2 years in prison and RD$2,500 fine.

CATEGORY TWO: Distributor, Vender.
Minimum: 3 years in prison and RD$10,000 fine.
Maximum: 10 years in prison and RD$50,000 fine.

CATEGORY THREE: Trafficker.
Minimum: 5 years in prison and more than RD$50,000 fine.
Maximum: 20 years in prison and more than RD$50,000 fine.
A fine of no lesser value than the value of the seized controlled drugs or involvement in the operation, but in no instance less than RD$50,000"

Yeah I suppose. When will people like OP realize they prolly shouldn't post that kind of stuff here for a bunch of super critical fish?

It's people like the OP who give responsible, intelligent marijuana users a bad reputation.

Negative reppin', yo!

Society has gotten to the point where they know marijuana doesn't make people insane or become injurious to others, so the anti-drug campaigns have 'raised a new flag' so to speak. Now marijuana doesn't make you insane, it makes you stupid! The fact of the matter is that there has never been a reliable study that has ever concluded that marijuana causes a decrease in intelligence amongst users. Period.

I like how there are several ATOT'ers who post each week on how they did something illegal/dumb/immoral and someone got mad or reacted negatively to it. Then the OP whines about how there was nothing wrong with what they did and everyone overreacted but them. It?s almost the same scenario each time.
