This thread, (ahem) is about marijuana, not about (ahem) my personal experiences on other drugs

All my closest friends smoke marijuana, and all have been sucessful in their professional lives to various degrees. My friend Jesse while doing research at Penn St. (which is somewhat rare for an undergrad) solved some theorem that's been around since the 70's and has a full ride almost anywhere he wants to do his graduate work. I wouldn't say marijuana helped him, but it certainly didn't hurt him, its his choice and he shouldn't have to be fearful to make his choice. I've hired people who I knew smoked pot and it didn't bother me because its no indictment on character. People who don't care to do a good job won't regardless of their choices in life outside of work. As for my kids, I'll let them make their own choices, honestly I hope that they would only start smoking after highschool because its easy to go overboard at that time like I did. After recieving the traditional school propaganda about drugs and then experimenting with pot on my own I began to distrust eeryting I was told regarding "drugs". A more open and honest dialogue probaly could have prevented alot of mistakes I made, but I don't really have any regrets, just embarrasing stories. I'd like for my kids to avoid the same pitfalls

I don't think its coincidence at all

like eating alot of turkey, getting sleepy and then driving should be illegal

so what you're saying is that if a substance consumed can be combined with an action can lead to death, it should be illegal?

Why not just outlaw driving then?

Though at the same time, Laozi was discounting comments from someone under the assumption that if they haven't tried it, it's not possible to accurately report on it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, it wasn't possible for the contributors of this thread to accurately form educated opinions on the effects of marijuana through simple observations

Yeah, but scientist are qualified to make observations in those circumstances

Observation is a foundation of science. Cause and effect is frequently determined by observing subjects in a controlled environment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> true enough, but I doubt that applies here

Its time to start going to class, jorian

Wait, you do know we're talking about planet earth, here marijuana grows naturally, it didn't come from space like in that Pantera video where they cover Planet Caravan

Plus it doesn't improve your marksmanship

The Police ~ The Bed's Too Big Without You Sting in gurly voice: owwwwweeeeeeeeee

observing behavior doesn't mean you know the effects, I've seen you act like a complete troll for awhile and I can't for the life of me figure out why it could be any numer of reasons, not enough attention from your parents, hemorrhoids, low blood sugar, rampant obesity, I dunno because I've never experienced these things

thats serious apples to oranges

How can anyone accurately report on marijuana without actually smoking it?

Loss control of their minds? You must be getting some pretty good stuff there.

The biigest arguement for legalization for non-pot smokers is that the money used on the war on drugs could go towards education, The war on drugs is a bad joke, almost as bad as the Cold War

I think we should decriminalize marijuana, that way people can enjoy its use without regulations put on it, like with alcohol. If it were legal, then it could be taxed, people could be pulled over and subject to sobriety test, those types of things

I really think decriminalization is the right path

Hell yeah it should be legal, 'cause smoking pot is da bomb Yo Yo Yo, I wanna get high, so high Edit: everyone knows you use da and not the

Jennifer Connelly is indeed hawt, but making sure David Bowie's codpiece made it into every scene kind of scared me off from that movie. Its like in the Dark Crystal when they rip the feathers off that one vulture creature. I got it in my head as a kid they were raping him and have been scared ever since.
