I’m pretty sure the picture is fake. The “Farewell 18th Amendment” sign gives it away. We all know amending the Constitution isn’t necessary to prohibit something.

“The addiction mars the thinking and judgement of marijuana users.”

This is a fallacy. Responsible use of cannabis, just as with alcohol does not equal addiction.

Israel is also at the forefront of treating it’s veterans for PTSD with cannabis. Of course, in a country where everyone serves, veterans get top notch care.

Thank you. I appreciate your kindness.

So far so good after eleven years.

Thank goodness for Big Pharma. LOL

No complaints. I’m the luckiest guy walking.

Can someone please explain to me simple things about smoking a substance?

Smoke tobacco ...
Smoke marijuana...

How is it we now consider smoking marijuana is so good we have medical marijuana

But smoking tobacco is so bad that we ban you even smoking around other people

I would think that bringing smoke in to your lungs in either case would he be equally damaging

As a supporter of legal cannabis & someone who uses cannabis for medical reasons, I find these “activists” behavior to be unacceptable & unhelpful. Sneaking cannabis into a legal “no go zone” for cannabis is criminal behavior & does nothing to advance their cause. Trying to give that guy some cannabis was also insanely stupid.

This kind of juvenile stunt doesn’t help or advance the issue of legalizing cannabis at all, IMO.

You win Post of the Thread Stickman.

Don’t smoke pot, don’t believe it serves any medical purpose at all (except to get high).
My drug of choice has always been good Scotch whiskey, which also serves no medical purpose at all.
That being said; don’t care if people grow pot, don’t care if people smoke pot.
What you do on your time is your business as long as your not hurting other people.
Just don’t show up on my job site stoned, drunk, or hung over.
If you do, I WILL find a reason to FIRE you.
I live in Trinity County, California; all of my neighbors grow pot, all of my neighbors smoke pot.
As long as they don’t bother me I won’t bother them.
I voted to legalize it this last election, hopefully to get the criminal element out of it’s production and distribution.

I think this is more than reasonable.
I know I would never go to work like that.

I have known some serious potheads where their whole day was either looking for or smoking a joint. Ten would be a stellar day for them. Any more than that you would find them in a puddle of drool under a bag of Doritos.
According to experts like Grace Slick cannabis is not lethal but the carcinogens would turn your lungs into mush.

I figure if its safe enough for Israel to give to their seniors it’s safe enough to use in moderation like most everything.

If I can believe all those starving seniors that I see on those, $49.00 a month, begging commercials, one might figure it is cheaper to keep them stoned than feed them.

IIRC, those commercials are begging for jews who live in other countries.

The dopers’ obsessiveness is indeed evidence in itself.

You cannot have a discussion. You cannot cite studies, personal observation or experience. There will always be a another word, a last dig.

YOU CANNOT DISAGREE.

They are like tar babies, made of the gunk scraped from their own clotted lungs.

The addiction mars the thinking and judgement of marijuana users.

Marijuana is not physically addictive in the same way as caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, opiates, etc.

Habit-forming? Yes. Addictive? No.

I’m fine with disagreement. If you want to explain why you would never use cannabis that’s a part of normal discourse in these FoRums. And if you have a study that’s not funded by prohibitionists or pro-cannabis organizations I would love to see it.

Just don’t tell me I can’t use it. Don’t call me an addict when you don’t know me or why I use cannabis.

If you don’t want to ever use cannabis I will NEVER try to convince you that you should.

I do & will wish you a very pleasant day. Promise :)
