My objections to prohibition are that it is grossly unconstitutional, and that the government steals money from me to pay for it. I don't need to actually smoke pot to feel that way, believe it or not.
Every once in a while I get this urge to roll up a big, fat joint, smoke it, relax, and indulge in some conceptualizing. Then I heard some who are arrested for posession must endure four-hundred-four seconds of Helen Thomas sitting on their face. That ends my urge every time.
WOW! And I date myself as I recall the "nickel bag"...
Now I can point out the cost savings as I set up my Martini.
Most great authors were drunks.
I am infinite stronger for having overcome my weaknesses.
Apart from other things.
As a fraternity alum, I beg to differ. ;-)
Can't be true. All pot smokers are burnouts who live in their parents' basements. I know because the WODdies told me so.
Inspirational and Wise words.
Bravo
Good advice.
Besides, too much pot gives guys manboobs.
"God loves you and wants you sober"
Yeah but Benjamin Franklin said:
"Beer is proof that God exists and that he wants us to be happy"
are you kidding me? I have long since passed middle age my friend. Stop striving for youth. You can still grow old gracefully and still maintain a youthful attitude. Don't you remember the saying: "The trick is to grow UP without growing OLD." Be yourself. Take advantage of what is out there for middle agers or do what you want but do it because it is fun for you and you enjoy doing it for the sheer pleasure and NOT because something makes you feel young. Feeling young only lasts for so long. Being young only lasts for so long. There's a lot to be said for age IF you can accept it and grow with it. Good luck.
Could be. Still seems like an escape mechanism just like it was in the 60's.
Could be, but everyone is entitled to seek happiness in any way that pleases them as long as they don't violate the equal rights of every other citizen.
Shakespeare smoked cocaine.
He also produced this sonnet: (#76)
Why is my verse so barren of new pride,
So far from variation or quick change?
Why with the time do I not glance aside
To new-found methods and to compounds strange?
Why write I still all one, ever the same,
And keep invention in a noted weed,
That every word doth almost tell my name,
Showing their birth, and where they did proceed?
O, know, sweet love, I always write of you,
And you and love are still my argument;
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent:
For as the sun is daily new and old,
So is my love still telling what is told.

Heh heh...I always enjoyed that. But I guess it's a personal decision.
Oh yes, as long as they don't violate anyone else.

this from the same source quoted above:
RICHARD FEYNMAN Physicist
Richard P. Feynman was a Nobel laureate in physics, a best-selling author and member of the presidential commission that investigated the Challenger disaster. He was a popular lecturer who was widely known for his insatiable curiosity, gentle wit, brilliant mind and playful temperament. His 1985 book, "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman," was on the New York Times best-seller list for 14 weeks.
Feynman shared the Nobel Prize in 1965 for reconstructing almost the whole of quantum mechanics and electrodynamics, deriving a way to analyze atomic interactions through simple diagrams, a method that is still used widely. He was also a member of the team that developed the first atomic bomb at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. His 1988 obituary in the Los Angeles Times stated that Feynman admitted to smoking pot during his lifetime.
I have no doubt that this will not convince the anal-retentives on this thread of anything, but I am sure that the riders of the purple gage are laughing their asses off at you santimonious saps.
