I haven't slept for a very long time and it's getting worse. Treatment is on the way, the doctor is aware, but forgive me if I sound difficult on the Carter vs Carter deal. The Libertarian part of me has to be subdued when reading this stuff, anyway. Allocating this kind of authority to either seems like a case of "damned if you do and damned if you don't."
Oh, I see, part of pecking the issue to death. There should be a law against that.
Politically, it is the crux of the matter.
I totally agree with you! I had used drugs for 28 years and I(with the help of my sister)was 'turned on' to pot when I was 7 and that was all they wrote. If forgetting what you were going to do in 10 seconds or less is regeneration of brain cells well it has taken 32 years to happen. I am 38 and will have 3 years clean in January of 2005. I have had more fun and learned more in the last 3 years than I have in the 28 years I was using.I am currently working on my Masters and hold a 3.4 grade average. When I was in 'high school' I was smoking pot only and dropped out 3 months before graduation. I guess I felt I had to take a break while my brain cells regenerated. Smoking in general reduces oxygen to the brain. No oxygen, brain dies. Now that's a fact. How about the feelings one has when they are out of it and has to wait to get more? FUNK!!!
God made pot. If you know GOD then you know that man manipulated the plant.There's something to think about unless you have to wait for the brain cells to regenerate.I'll be here when you get back.
You said: "Uh, perhaps successful, smart and happy people who smoke pot don't tend to share that fact with a lot of people, seeing as it is an illegal substance that a significant portion of society still disapproves of? I'd be willing to bet that you have many acquaintances who partake that you have no idea about."
I say: AMEN, brother!
I am a full-time worker/full-time dean's list student with a 3.94 GPA and I smoke weed. PS: I am also a card-carrying Republican who is sick of this 1950's "Reefer Madness," mary-wanna will turn your children into subversive, homosexual communists crap. Oh yeah...it'll also make you crazy...
I always heard it as:
"God is perfect
Man is not
Man made beer
But God made pot."
Hey, Schlitzy, I like that one a lot better!
