you might not age but you won't remember anything and OY the munchies!

[Yeti]

Wow, I can smell that from here.

[Libloather]

Although the drug distorts perception and affects short-term memory...

If the Liberteen docs can only find a way to get past this, they're home free.

Maybe users forget all about the Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntingdon's and motor neurone diseases - eh?

[Libloather]

I smoke two, two ... big FAT joints.

Wouldn't that be four joints?

(Ya see, two and two equals four...)

[Gorons]

Yeah,

Some of my favorite sites for pix is:

and the best overall site for pro-marijuana culture is:

"...it may also help prevent degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's

from personal experience, it may be that if one is constantly stoned, one cannot tell when one develops Alzheimer's...what were we talking about? Who's gonna order the pizza?

[Yeti]

Wha?

More evidence of the ties between the Libertarian Party and pagan forces working together to corrupt our youth.

I shoud be shocked, but I'm not.

There's already overwhelming evidence that it prevents the brain from maturing.

Myth. Junk science, exploded completely in four chapters of Marijuana Myths/Marijuana Facts by Lynn Zimmer, Ph.D and John P. Morgan, M.D., including twelve pages of references to studies on that precise point.

Man, get into rehab!

I went to re-hab while I was the Navy. The officers on my boat liked me so they offered me re-hab instead of a medical discharge due to the quantity I was found with.

While at re-hab, I had to drive off base to a Hospital to get some work done on a foot. My escort, an E-6 from the re-hab center was a real nice guy...so I thought. After having my foot taken care of, I came out and got back into the van. Since he was black, I thought I would be hip and use his venacular describing the good looking women in the Hospital... 'Man, there is some good lookin' hoes in there...'

Well, the next day, every woman in my group at the "Q" given by my "Therapist", lambasted me for considering women "Hoes". The counselor told me that was the reason I do drugs(weed) is because of my lack of respect for women...

I was 18 years old. I sat back in my chair and said to her, in front of the rest of the class, "You may not understand this, but you just shot this entire month long session's credibilty with that novice diagnosis." She looked at me and forced herself to change the subject.

After class she apologized to me which tore the bottom out of what ever was left of the program's credibilty.

People do not need re-hab. They need focus. Re-hab is a money drain...

[Illbay]

Actually, I agree with you.

My sister, the dope-head, can do rehab with her eyes closed, after four or five times through it.

[freedumb2003]

What do ya think of this??!!??

Think of what, dude?

[RaceBannon]

This arguement is not about finding beneficial drugs based on cannibis plants and made into pill form, this arguement is about making smoking pot legal and that is obvious when you consider the goals of the people behind all this and their supporters.

The only positive use for cannibis is for some cases of glaucoma and anti-nausea, and there are already drugs that take care of that and are much cheaper.

Although the drug distorts perception and affects short-term memory

THAT explains a lot ...

Anybody want to argue on behalf of un-supervised, non-prescription "self-administration" of such 'compounds'?

[Delta 21]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When smoked before maturity. After one has achieved maturity, becoming a real one (as opposed to a legal one), anti-aging becomes rather more important.

I hear it makes you incoherent too..

[sit-rep]

since you're are the second person to invite yourself into a ping to one person, I'll share it with you...but you're the last one!

I know Boot Hill well, and I know he is a WOD/anti-drug kinda guy. I am more or less neutral on this subject for my own reasons. "What do you think of this?" was meant as a trigger to get him going... that's all...

There. Aren't you glad you asked?
