Medical marijuana is legal in CA. You'll only have a problem if you've been arrested by a federal agent, at which point pot possession is the least of your concerns.

It doesn't matter how you use it. If it was prescribed by a doctor for medical purposes, no matter how dubious, it's legal (edit: I did say use, and not sell; selling is illegal I believe)

By your logic it's illegal for me to take any controlled substance that has been prescribed to me. Do you not realize how stupid that makes you sound?

not once in any post did i say using marijuana for prescribed medical purposes was illegal. i'm talking about these dolts who keep saying they are using it for medical purposes when it's quite clear that they aren't.

my any logic, you're a dumbass.

You seem really upset by this whole thread. Why don't you tell us how you really feel about the over all issue. Not about the forum rules/thread but about marijuana. You're taking an aggressive stance on one (minor) aspect of the thread. It makes me think you harbor some of the same thoughts as sao123 but don't want to express them to avoid the same thrashing he has received.

I don't see anything messed up about that. Right on par with having a beer with your parents.

Yep, as long as their children are old enough. I've smoked with my aunt and uncle before. My aunt filled me in on so many things I didn't know about my family history and funny stories. It was great!

Nobody at FA is addicted to donuts either.


Let's put up some hard numbers here, how many deaths does obesity cause per year and how many deaths does marijuana cause per year?



I have to sleep with a shotgun under my bed now because I'm afraid my fatass neighbor is going to bust in and rob me for my powdered donuts!

Also, smoking pretty much anything, including pot, can cause lung disease. I'm not sure why anyone would disagree with this. There are tons of studies demonstrating that smoking pot really isn't much healthier than smoking cigarettes. Yes, nobody chain smokes weed, but you're still damaging your lungs.

I'm not saying you should stop for this reason, but there's no point in denying it.

Pot cookies, pot brownies, indian bhang and (around here) pot venison salami are all valid solutions. There are potential non-neurological side effects to oral pot consumption, but they're pretty small.

In Wisconsin, we have truly shocking rates of alcohol-related death. Not just impaired judgement or driving under the influence - we're talking hardcore liver failure.

While weed use has resulted in countless lost jobs, college drop-outs, and ridiculous munchies expenditures, the number of deaths is limited to the vary rare DUI car accident.

Alcohol is quite safe in small quantities. However, too much at once will kill you, and too much over an extended period will rot your liver.

I dont care if its legal on the state/local level. Its still federally illegal.
Finally its immoral, regardless of its legality on any level.

Says who, and based on what ethical/philosophical framework?

Please elaborate on this bold claim.

Why me and my right wing ultra conservative no-fun christian agenda of course.
:p

Well he might have let this slide, but I would like to see an actual arguement for the immorality of entering an altered state, if you can formulate one. I doubt you can but I'd be very interested if you could. Unless you were being sarcastic in the original post too of course.

all the arguement I need.

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body," (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

Religious belief is a very weak ethical framework. Real ethics are based on logic.

BULLSHIT, it affects everyone within 30 miles of you. EVERYONE. and ESPECIALLY ME.

Nevermind, I thought I was dealing with a rational person here. I have been shown otherwise. :thumbsdown:

it wont be long before drug checks are mandatory for everyone who is employed, drives a car, receives any money benefit from the government (welfare, disability, social security), attends public/private school or college, pretty much anything that breathes.

but until then, you could just come over and i will impart some bible knowledge into you through forceful osmosis.

its much more fun my way than the Cocteau plan.

I just read this thread on a ...whim. And it's way too heady. THis thread needs to be dumbed down and injected with music.

Someday we all will learn to just relax and to live and let live.

a few questions....
how much does weed cost? I assume there is a range based on quality (just like alcohol).
what is a typical amount that you purchase? I've heard the term dime bad, 8th, ect. how much it that actually?
What are the limits of how much you can posses before the fine/punishment gets really severe?

Range? I'd pay 20-25 for 3.5 grams(1/8) for mids, and anywhere from 45-55 for the good shiz. That's enough to make you happy for a good amount of time. You never want any on you when questioned by the authorities, because it IS a schedule I narcotic. You'll get possession and at least a probation period where you test frequently plus some fines. It scales with each offense and in severity, more is bad, if you have it split between several bags they CAN get you for distribution, which is a much higher offense than just possession.

It's a slippery slope, man.

How do you breathe? How do you walk down the street? If you really want it, you can get it.
