Nevada <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, marijuana would not be good for an economy largely based on people staying up late and gambling, now drugs like cocaine or meth would really be a boon.

The biggest problem for Iraq is that the average citizen doesn't support the system of government that the U.S. is trying to impose there. Only a bit under 7% of citizens polled last spring would support a free market economy, where as about 65% would prefer a largely-state controlled economy. Without the support of the average citizen all efforts in Iraq are sure to fail. But that neither here nor there, this thread is about Bin Laden and his capture and/or death. It would be difficult to argue that the capturing of Bin Laden would validate our efforts in the eyes of alot of people, but its not like all terrorist sit at a big table with Bin Laden at the head.

I guess Yao Ming could play the Mountain that Rides when hes in full armor Man, I can't wait to see the Cleganes Hopefully they can get the guy who played Richard the Lionheart in the Blackadder series to play Robert Baratheon

Where is "we"?

You're talking about the Duncan the Tall comics?

I made a mess in my pants

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
