Baby Steps

Well, I don't think everyone of us smokes 10 bowls a day everyday 365 days out of the year....

I would say if you smoke weed more than 3 times a week you have a very real problem. If you smoke weed every weekend, you're addicted, but you're not letting it affect your job perhaps, and that's good. If you smoke weed maybe once or twice a month with friends(not in your room by yourself) then I don't really have a problem with you, just keep it to yourself, and don't come to me trying to explain your philosophy of how the raisins in Raisin Bran cereal are the key to life.

Most of you probably don't realize it because you probably don't smoke weed alone, but if you've ever been around someone who is high when you are not, it's very similar to being around someone who is drunk when you are not. Thay think they've come to realize everything about life in the last hour they have been high.

Right, what a misconception. I haven't been smoking since July Fourth, most of my friends smoke and I've never noticed this similarity to drunks.

You've fallen head over heels for anti marijuana propaganda, and it shows. But nevermind that, what are you trying to prove? that you're an asshole? Do you have an ego to fill? Untill now you've had some pretty entertaining and informative posts, this thread puts you kinda .. "out there" bro.

I don't even want to get on the addiction comment, it's been shown many times over that there is no addiction issues with marijuana.
Still, nevermind that your heading back to the Halo2 forum and cessation of fight starting would be apreciated.

You've never been around someone else who is high(while you are not) and been extremely annoyed?

I've fallen head over heels for anti marijuana propaganda? That's funny, I really haven't seen much of that in my life. Most people, like those who post in this forum, smoke marijuana, so "joining the crowd" as you would say of anti-marijuana people wouldn't be falling head over heels, and it wouldn't be falling to peer pressure. Unlike you, I am less affected by peer pressure.

I also noticed your amateur attempt at psychology,

Untill now you've had some pretty entertaining and informative posts, this thread puts you kinda .. "out there" bro.

didn't appreciate it much.

Just to comment, I don't think it's addicting myself, at least not as nicotine or alcohol is, but the high you get is possibly addicting, especially to those who haven't anything better to do with their time.

On a less malicious note, what part of Virginia are you from?

Virginia Beach. Right up the street from Oceana. Well all over Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Va Beach.

Nah, people smokin doesn't ever seem to annoy me, maybe it's because they are 'seasoned smokers'? Dunno..

By the way, what makes me seem like I'm any more affected by peer pressure than you or anyone else?

Thats why I love mendo county usa its where I lived before the Army.

In response to California's Proposition 215, which decriminalized marijuana for medical use in 1996, county law enforcement officials have set up a registration program for patients and their growers. And last year local Mendocino voters approved Measure G, a symbolic call to legalize "personal medical or recreational use." It's no surprise that this would happen here. Mendocino is at the southern tip of California's famed "Emerald Triangle," where for decades marijuana cultivation has been a cottage industry in the area's rugged gullies and canyons. But lately even local politicians and police seem to have made their peace with the drug. "We deal with it fine," says Mendocino District Attorney Norm Vroman. "It's the rest of the country that's all screwed up."

Theres alot more to read.

Heh, figures.

Adrenachrome, the reason I would think you are one to fall to peer pressure is that people who smoke marijuana usually don't independently find a dealer and buy it. They were introduced to it by their friends, siblings, or in some sad cases, their parents.

I'm sure I don't have to explain the whole theory behind what peer pressure is and such do I? I thought you could have deduced that yourself, I hope my explanation/insight has helped.

Alright, bucko, listen up. 100% stoner here and not ashamed one damn bit. I graduated highschool 25th in my class out of 300. I smoked weed almost every day my senior year and I managed to keep my grades up. I also have a job and I work very hard and often to keep the moolah flowing. I have shit in my life prioritized.

No, this is not true. Drunk people and high/stoned people do not act the same. A drunk person cannot make out who is who, cannot keep his/her own balance, has a very difficult time speaking (loud, slurred words), CANNOT DRIVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES and is more then likely going to throw up. A stoned person will sit on a couch and laugh at the drunk people. You need to stop generalizing people who smoke. A stoned person can drive, although I'll admit we tend to go slower. Weed and alcohol are two very different substances and really should not be compared.

You've obviously been hanging out with some new smokers or people that smoke in moderation. People that have been smoking for years (aka stoners) are very laid-back and do not "think we've realized everything when high." I was like the way you're describing when I was a new smoker and I got blitzed every time I took a hit; it's much different now.

What else you gonna dish out?

He is in the army, he doesnt hang out with any pot heads, just drunks, and I dont think hes ever hung out with marijuana users in his life, just maybe seen some at his high school when he went.

Basically Smith you need to do a more in depth study, before debating... this is kinda lika a ps3 vs xbox 360 thread where I pmed you and said, "I hate debating with people who wont open their eyes"... now its your turn to open your eyes.

So he's PFC Smith:

Favorite Phrase:
Shut the fuck up with that bullshiiiit! Usually as a reply to PFC Smith...

What does PFC mean? I read Catch-22 again a week ago, and I was trying to work out what PFC meant then. If you haven't read it there's a character called ex-PFC Wintergreen who seems to run everyhting behind the scenes.

As for the PS3 v Xbxo 360 threads (they've both turned into them), you should've just said that, we'd've shut up quicker if you had.

Pr0xy:

The thing that gets you stoned is the THC, the Crystals that the female produces on the Buds when it flowers, to pick up the male pollen and as the male has no crystals it's not worth the cough.

I also managed to stumble across some kind of pot forum that said if you put the crystals on top of the weed when smoking it, it will heighten the experience. Means absolutely nothing to me, thoug hit probably does to you?

Probably doesn't answer your question, but, nnh, bit of info about the for you if you didn't already know.

Private First Class is what PFC means. And no I didn't know that about smoking them on top. Not sure if I could ever use that information heh... And yeah I realize males hold no crystals however you still need to grow both to keep it prospering... And there is also a large chance that you wont grow just males. Just wondering if the excess crystals from growing hemp had any uses.

So that's what PFC means.

I don't know much about smoking.

In fact, I know nothing at all.

Sum Yung Guy, you seem to think just because I never smoke marijuana that I was never around people that did. I've been around people in the ARMY that were high, and seasoned smokers, by the way. I lived in the boonies as a child, so I guess I don't have to explain to you that half of my family smokes marijuana. When I moved to the city, I was around my sister and all her friends. On top of that I lived in an apartment complex where practially ever poor person in the city lived. I saw enough of how potheads lived and saw enough people high during my life, to know I didn't want to smoke marijuana.

Just because you haven't shot yourself in the face with a shotgun doesn't mean you can't argue your friend away from the barrel as he's trying to commit suicide.

Just to comment on Thanatos here. You graduated 25/300, huh? I actually attended a much smaller school before I moved to the cities. Seeing as I went to five different schools throughout my life, I think I can safely say that I found smaller schools to usually have a much easier curriculum(usually less funding) with much less people competing for that valedictorian.

Oh ya, and alcohol is a major depressent, on the other hand marijuana is a both a light depressant and a psychoactive hallucinogen. I never said they were exactly the same thing, and that one would incur the same results from both of them. What I did say is that people who do either/or are annoying to be around when you are completely sober. That's from my experience.

Lol pr0xy, and oh ya and it's SPC now, thank you.

Wha?

So you've gone from Private First Class to SPC?

Why all the acronyms? Why?!

Stands for Specialist. Corporal is after it. Try not to get left behind again Lenny.


S2: You annoy me at times... Does that mean that you smoke? Heck, we are all annoying to someone else. That doesn't mean anything. I have friends who smoke and some are annoying, others arent. That's just how they personally behave and carry themselves.

Who the fuck is S2 AM?

I'm not saying 25/300 is the ultimate best, but it's pretty good. I graduated in front of tons of people who didn't smoke weed.

Well, my advice to you is to chill out, heh. Don't get annoyed with these people. Try and actually listen to what they're talking about and it's fuckin hilarious. Personally, one of funniest things I've found is to be stoned around a bunch of drunk people. It's so damn funny.
