Duuuuuuude....

[Mister Baredog]

NO COMMENT, LOL.

"Alcohol dulls everything," says Abe, a litigator at a Manhattan law firm who says he would rather toke than imbibe. "Pot sharpens certain things, like creativity."

Dopers always think this.

Not true. And alkies think the booze helps their creativity.

[A CA Guy]

Yep, the screwed up hippie generation F'ing up their kids to pass the curse down.

Pathetic to the extreme.

[kellynch]

The smell of marijuana makes me want to throw up. Alcohol at least doesn't stink.

[dhs12345]

What happens when you have a bunch of hippies from the 60s turned corporate.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

Don't subject yourself to it!
Immediately seize all marijuana found and mail directly to me so I can turn it in to the proper authorities!

[thoughtomator]

I'd call for the Denial Brigade, but I see they've already arrived.

[Servant of the 9]

$600.00/oz.?

Jeeze, no wonder it's a gateway drug to heroin and crystal meth.
Heroin and crystal meth are a cheaper high.

Let's get the price down, so people don't have to trade up to the hard stuff.

Makes you feel young again? You're not though. You won't be afterwards and you never WILL be young again. Why not enjoy the age you are?

[Trailerpark Badass]

"You can't see the damage to a person's life that you would if they were smoking crack or shooting dope."

Perhaps you "can't see it" because it isn't there?

[thoughtomator]

Maybe they are enjoying the age they are? Except for the part about police state cheerleaders asking they be locked up for something they are doing on their own time, on their own property, paid for with their own money, and harmless to anyone else?

[thoughtomator]

Call it faith-based totalitarianism.

[Servant of the 9]

Makes you feel young again? You're not though. You won't be afterwards and you never WILL be young again. Why not enjoy the age you are?

When you grow up and see how middle age feels, you won't need to ask.

With me it's just the opposite. I can't stand the smell of liquor, but I like the smell of pot. Go figure!

[Dark Skies]

I am a conservative and a vy high achiever...and a former pot addict.

If you can smoke or drink in moderation, God bless you.

But if pot dominates your daily life or nightly life...consider kicking it.

If you think being high is good, you won't believe how great sobriety is. If it is hard to quit...replace your addiction to dope with an addition to exercise.

I know that addicts are depressed about it...kick it and get back into living...start getting fresh air and working out...and get a spiritual life.

Don't become a zombie.

Fight the evil.

God loves you and wants you sober.

[i_dont_chat]

I guess you want to burn it -- one stick at a time????

[ikka]

A warning, from personal experience: do not expect to have a long-term job at any company where even the people in charge of accounting are smoking the herb.

[Dinsdale]

I can name a lot of great authors who were drunks.

Two stoners come to mind. Keasey and Hunter. (flames will be ignored, unless you want to argue that Hunter was a drunk not a stoner)

No puritans come to mind.
