"Twilight" are there actually people outside of Highschool who go apeshit for that movie/book series?

The chick who is in the movie, whatever her name is, always looks like shes baked.

Which leads to...

I have never touched pot, no 2nd hand high or nothing. But I remember working at Best Buy and smelling the disgusting stench of pot on these guys who would shop there regularly. :yuck:

But another job I had later, a co-worker of mine admitted he sold pot while he worked there. Not actually from the store, but he'd leave the stuff under his gas tank cover and take out the money after he got off work. I was quite amazed to find out he made more money selling that stuff once or twice than he would make working there an entire month.

I'd say it's possible that smoking weed could be used much like a glass of wine for dinner by responsible users, but I think that it affects different people in totally different ways and thus it seems to be a lot less predictable than alcohol.

Still, I'd definitely legalize it.

Twilight is pure, raw, suffering. It is however, hilariously overwritten:

I think all drugs should be legal....I would rather the moron public be sedated on something natural and regulated rather than an anti-depressant which have been linked to most of the random shootings in this country.

@ 17days......you wanna link me to any other group? lol, ;) pot smokers, UFO believers, Conpiracy theorists.....you all need grow up a little. I feel like I'm in grade school recess. :roll:

:rofl: :lawl:

Maybe, I for one think that 17days believes anyone who says that he or she is an Expert on Television. He lives in this naive little universe where unregulated for-profit corporations are his "Friend" and they are just there to "help him". It's like Stockholm syndrome. He loves his abusers. And if you question him he (like the Peanut Gallery) never looks into any of the information and starts slinging insults.

There is a difference between the two ideologies though....Let me explain...

The Peanut Gallery are mentally sterilized. They cannot make decisions for themselve and if people have a different view of the world then them they automatically take offense and become emotional. That's why we see InternalPrimate unable to break away from Obama's gleeming smile even though Obama lied about everything in his campaign. Knuckle Duster & ChrisLoser are just rage a holics and cannot get over someone having a different point of view them him. Jerry is just plain ignorant, I think he may be a very young person because he has trouble comprehending easy to grasp subjects, and Rusty Venture is just held in a jail of anger for some reason, I guess I must have said something to make him upset and he holds a grudge, now he just sits on the side lines and grumbles incoherently to himself. Either way they couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag...they have to rely on the television to program them and only then they can finally have a point of view. It's all very sad but they are perfect citizens for the new world. Drones.

17Days on the other hand is just on some sort of Ego power trip that makes him adhere to people and structures of power. He believes Corporations are good because they are rich, Adam Carrolla podcasts are good because hes a tough guy that calls house wives "idiots". 17days, seems to love the pseudo-omipotents of these establishments but at the same time he is subjugating himself before them. Though, I hope he will break free from these shackles. I still think hes a good person on the inside.

Get a degree or STFU, like I've said before. I don't side with corporations because they are powerful, I just don't make the erroneous assumption that they are all money grubbing monsters trying to kill people to make a buck. I see way more small businesses commiting unethical acts than corporations, you just don't hear about the mom n pops as much because they don't carry as much weight.

Here is yet another thing that we agree on. Mom and Pops shops suck.They are greedy little animals who piss on whoever works for them. They are disgusting and lazy and care nothing for their employees. At least the big corporations FAKE caring about their employees so they don't leave or unionize. Mom n Pop shops just don't give a shit. I hope they all crash and burn.

I knew there was hope.

- Without putting marijuana into the same category: I'd think that legalizing all drugs would help a lot in fighting them.

First I would like to say that your glass of wine @ dinner comparison is very true. As with anything, too much of a good thing yada yada an all that. That being said, it is no more addictive than playing sega genesis. As with any enjoyable activity there can grow a psychological addiction, and that is where a person's individuality comes into play. Behaviorally how obsessed will you become of the activity. There are people who drink soda every day and I would argue that that is far more dangerous of an addiction, as it has the inherent health risks of drinking that crap, plus a physical and psychological addiction.

MJ actually takes quite a long time to become psychologically addictive, and even then it really isn't very hard to quit (at least for me), especially compared to cigarettes, which is hell and far far more unhealthy I might add. Saying it affects different people differently is not really true, it affects everyone the same but they may behave differently. There is literally zero deaths as a direct result of MJ, so saying it is more dangerous than alcohol is fiction.

Vaporizing weed is virtually 100% safe outside of legal ramifications. Once the person quits smoking there are zero lasting effects. The short term memory myth has been extensively studied and the effect is primarily while you are on it, and goes away after you quit. Ive never really noticed any issue with it to be honest. There is another myth that it can accelerate the process of or even lead to schizophrenia in people, but this is 100% false. I would say this rumor exists as a result of people not used to getting high and getting the typical paranoia that comes from being uncomfortable to the effect as it is unknown to them. Along with the high, they get a large amount of anxiety. These gitters typically go away after more experience with the effect, and then the high can be quite enjoyable.

Old time smokers like me miss the rush we used to get getting ripped in the morning before school or any event really. Now I just become very relaxed and my stress and anxiety melt away. This is another reason people say it makes them lazy. Honestly it doesn't inhibit me in any way, I could still do my job just fine if I was blazed (in fact I would probably be in a better mood through out), the only trouble comes from having to hide it from people. The fact that people become very relaxed after consuming it and want to sit around does not mean that you can't be active, just that some would rather take it easy and enjoy their high. I once smoked a J with my team mates right before a rugby match, and we surprisingly still won the match.

Basically it is a beautiful plant and a harmless "drug" that gets a really bad rap. If people don't want to use it that is awesome, but I hate it that others want to keep it away from me or throw me in jail bc I enjoy it. For all the meat lovers it is like if they made sale and consumption of steak illegal. I would say steak has been a much more deadly consumption to people than weed, but that doesn't mean it should be illegal. My dad is an entomologist for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI)and I know a few friends of his that are botanists and they smoke it and have nothing but good things to say about it.

I also agree with decriminalizing drugs in general. Drug addiction is a very serious threat but it is a public health matter and treating it as a criminal matter only penalizes victims and empowers the real criminals by creating the black market. Honestly I'm not into sniffing Blow, but it would be neat to be able to chew some coca leaves or possibly make some tea out of it to help me work. Anyway I'm sure I haven't told you anything you were not already aware of, so I'll just cut it off here. My apologies for the rant:), just my 2 cents.

I know a few people who smoke/smoked and have never had any "complications", I have had a friend/co-worker that got alcohol poisoning from drinking her first time.

I also don't see a lot of "driving high" accidents, where there are far, far too many cases of drunk drivers. And on top of that, repeat drunk drivers who continue to do it after getting their license taken away/spending time in jail.

Yeah, if anything you drive more slowly and carefully from the paranoia. The last thing you want while driving high is to get in a wreck. It's honestly the main reason I play video games, particularly shmups. Nothing better than getting torched and putting on a bullet hell shooter. Try that same shooter after a few drinks of the booze and see how much worse you do. Alcohol greatly alters your reaction time, makes you sleepy, and also alleviates your concern ala over confidence. Much more dangerous. My buddy just totaled his car mainly from fatigue of returning from a long drive but also bc he was drunk. Bad combination.

If you look at his last few posts it was obvious he was gunning for it. Joe's posts were loaded with Troll bait and The Edge bit. With the last post he made it was clear he new what Joe was doing, and that in itself was essentially an admission of Trolling. Honestly it was like he was hung up on, or obsessed with this place to the point he was trying to make them ban him. In hind sight, this whole The Edge situation has been kind of weird. Whew, people and their drama. :pop:
