Here's my two cents.
Pot effects people different. However, the same can be true about over the counter medicine (can't take cold medicine it makes me freak out) and alcohol.
I don't know anyone in my circle of friends (we have all smoked from time to time and would find it hard to pass up a good joint during a girls weekend) or whatever.
The stronger the pot, the less I would smoke. Don't mix it with alcohol. Plain and simple. If it's around.. YIPPEE, I like it better then a drink. If it's not, OH well I have a million other things I can do with my time.
Pot does not cause you to be a loser. If you have lazy tendencies you of course wouldn't be productive if you smoked 24x7.. but then again anyone who does something like that---- that much is going to cause you to miss out on life. the same could be said about lots of things. (alcohol, sleeping too much, smoking cigarettes etc.)
Take responsibility for your actions but let's not pretend here. I do not want my children smoking or drinking in high school. They are developing and I agree with the concerns. I think when you get to college that's another story, but as a parent you have to set down rules. Too much partying is bad with or without drugs involved.
What were you thinking when you posted this?!?
Do you really expect to come to a WOD thread chock-full of baseless aspersions and witless propaganda, post a sensible , experienced-based point-of-view, and escape unharmed?
No way! Unfortunately, there's just too much common sense in your thoughtful post to slander all at once!
So I'll pass. Good post. ;^)
Pot affects the memory. Not a good idea to spend thousands to send a kid to college to have him sit around bummed out.
Why don't you practice what you preach?
If you go back and see who I was responding to you will find that it was YOU and that YOU had crossed threads with your slurs. As I said ...
Of course I jumped threads in my post responding to YOUR post where you jumped threads. I jumped threads to HIGHLIGHT the post you made in which YOU jumped threads with your slurs.
Isn't that an issue between the kid and their parents, not the kid and the state?
If the kid is using state (taxpayer) money, it is the states' business.
If you hadn't jumped threads with your slander, I would never have responded to you by jumping threads on you. My jumping threads was to make it a point of highlighting YOUR jumping of threads.
Cry me a river.
Typical response when one is nailed.

Can you say "HYPERBOLE"?
The posts I was referring to were #770 and #821 on this thread. I've never run into this mugs99 dude on FR in the past, so he's not my "buddy".If you deny this story, I'll believe you and drop it. I just found the picture in my head of this argument to be really funny.
Really. You know false slurs when you see them. It is in bad taste for you to repeat/spread false rumors. Indeed.
That is what you said before but you still keep it active even after I said it was false.
OK, I believe ya. Mugs, it appears as if you might have to retract your post on that thread.
