Marijuana and teenagers

A doctor of mine,who’s a psychatrist,told me to stay away from it,especially since it has a negative effect on bipolar disorder.Perhaps that’s the reason it made me paranoid and too damn jumpy. It seemed to make the manic episodes “kick in”. It amazes me how our brains work,and how mine is considerably different from many people I know. Using any kind of chemical to get high just does not seem like a very good idea to me. Yes,I do know a young woman who smoked weed w/her father,and who now likes to crush and snort Vicodin as well.Smart thinking,right?

Wow.

Interesting.

Thanks.

I know something about what it’s like to have a very

. . . unique . . . brain . . .

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

In the sense that I have bipolar disorder.

It is not a new thing. I am 49yo and remember parents who did this when I was a teen.

[chris_bdba]

Depends...in the bag stuck or out of the bag stuck? ;)

At any rate,this thread should probably be yanked because of the constantly ignorant and insipid comments,such as yours.
This thread should be pulled because it was poorly written from the outset with a rhetorical, open ended question as the premise.

[philman_36]

I’m a citizen who was brought up to be responsible,finish school,amd not use drugs,since they obviously destroy lives.
And by your own petard, no less...
...when my mother found out I was smoking it myself...
First you're one thing then you're another.
You "change" quickly.

Henry Wright’s

A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . . IIRC

might offer some help on that score.

How’s the weather in New Mexico? I’m freezing my butt off here in Florida! It’s so nice to have a conversation w/some one who does not resort to name-calling. I’m sure you’ve seen the one comment where I was called a “stupid hippie scumbag”. That’s intelligence and maturity for you. Well,G-d Bless you and may you have a safe and happy New Year.

Well,I could respond with an ignorant statement,or resort to name-calling,but I’ll take the high road.Why are you so offended and angry at me? I’m just asking a question in the hopes that a parent would answer the question.You obviously don’t know me,so you can’t make the assumption that I’m lying. If you DID know me you would understand where I’m coming from. I used to spend time with various individuals who did these things,and I smoked with them as well until I decided I didn’t really want to spend my time getting wasted. My question is simple(at least from my POV,since I see things w/different eyes)and legitimate.

THANKS.

Been in the teens and single digits at nights. Now 37 degrees outside.

The rabid finger frothing cliques amongst the Roman Catholics seem to think I’m one of the worst name callers.

I usually don’t unless they are being particularly personally assaultive . . .

and some have been that way for so many years . . . I figure they’ve earned some shorthand labels.

They certainly deserve some fun tweaking.

If folks are going to act like Z number last jerks . . . they should expect to take their lumps hereon, imho.

On the whole, however, I tend to be quite mild and friendly to those who are remotely civil with me and to a lot who aren’t.

Blessings,

What is a ZOT? I don’t remember.

That's cool 'cause I'm an ogre and low roads suit me.
(Yep, it's definitely a repeated spacing pattern.)
Why are you so offended and angry at me?
Aren't you making an assumption in thinking that I am?
I’m just asking a question in the hopes that a parent would answer the question.
And here I was thinking that you you were just being vapid.
You obviously don’t know me,so you can’t make the assumption that I’m lying.
You're making assumptions so I can too.
If you DID know me you would understand where I’m coming from.
I know all I need to know about you from replies #54 and #58.
My question is simple(at least from my POV,since I see things w/different eyes)and legitimate.
Just how different are your eyes?
(there's that repeated spacing pattern again...your slip is showing)

[philman_36]

What is a
ZOT?

ROFLOL!!

[Osage Orange]

Okay....so what about the kid offering the parents to smoke a joint with them, and they do?

[Osage Orange]

What about introducing my 21yr old girl to car-jacking?

Damn...that could be some fun!!

[Osage Orange]

Name, um!

[Osage Orange]

I’m not talking about 18 or 19 yr.olds;I’m talking about 16 and 17 yr olds

Like there's much difference???????
