Marijuana
 

It's going to be legalised soon. The weight and tone of news reports, including the one I've just seen on Newsnight, convince me it is so. And Great!
We can buy it and be informed about what we're buying.

It wouldn't affect me if it were legalised in my country, never been interested in the stuff.

I'm interested in it. I've had good experiences with it and bad. I don't know what I took in either case. I'd like to take the nice stuff. Therefore I need to know what I'm taking, and that requires regulation.

The largest city in my state (Portland, Maine) actually legalized it a few weeks back, but it it conflicted with state and national law and the police were still going to crackdown on it, and I think it was eventually overturned. But I firmly believe Maine will be the third state to legalize it, as long as the inbreds in my county and other rural areas don't **** things up. We already have really lenient laws compared to other states (You can get away with having 2.5oz on you whereas in nearby Massachusetts you can only have 1oz) and we have a few medical dispensaries. Won't be long.

A nation of brain dead zombies. :laugh:

You know the Nazis weren't brain dead zombies. They were brainwashed zombies, who didn't take weed.

And your point is? :suspect:

Maybe you should explain by "A nation of zombies".

Stoned people. Jeez.

It's a half baked idea this legalisation........ boom boom

So are drunk people zombies too?

Yes.

Well cool, yeah. I don't disagree. But I'd like the choice to choose between boose and weed, and see which one is more agreable to me.

Yes fantastic news. Enjoy the massive tax addition on top of the normal price. :)

We already have a nation of brain dead zombies as it is most people can't even lift their face away from a mobile phone to cross the street.

Well exactly Josy, well said.

Might try a cannabis truffle

It would be nice to know what you're buying, whoever you're buying it from. I'm not against a little private enterprise.

I'd eat it rather than smoke it.

Weed makes me smarter actually. Much more enthusiastic, creative, and inquisitive.

speaking of marijuana i'm dry for a few days thus my life is in turmoil but i had a bunch of torched roach paper ends and i found this thing which i thought might be a ball of roach weed, so i smoked it but idk it was like very hard for weed but i was in no position to question it. i think it did something whatever it was but idk what but whateva

I really couldn't care less. I smoked it when I was younger on the odd occasion I also smoked. These days Id rather take care of myself that take drugs. I rarely drink either.

People automatically have a poor opinion of drugs, but I don't think that's necessarily fair. Weed especially. It only has the stereotypical media publicised effects, if that's how you use it.

People have a glass of wine at the end of the day, without anyone telling them that they'll eventually become addicted to turps, yet people who indulge in foliage are either told they're like zombies, or they'll become heroin addicts before the end of the week. It's crazy.

Absolutely. I also don't like this 'brain-dead zombie' attitude that most ascribe to cannabis users. Certainly when I've had it I was still in complete control and could walk and talk fine. It just turns even the most trivial matters hilarious and everything in general feels so much better.

That can't be said for alcohol, so the anti-weed attitude is hypocritical considering what many will be doing tonight (myself included).

Ok it turns some people into brain dead zombies.... and others into laughing fools.
It doesn't make you smarter either you just think it does, in reality you just babble the same shiz you always have :laugh:

Well that's not exactly true, it heightens the imagination and so then can be responsible for improving creativity.

Well, it's one of those things you won't fully understand unless you actually experience it for yourself. I agree with Josy.

It's a widely known and proven fact that injecting marijuanas kills

Hightens the imagination, is that the new name for delerium?
Next you'll be telling me there's colours in the music :idc:

Please rejoin this thread once you've actually sampled the devil's lettuce.

Steady on Kizzy, that's enough LSD for you

Nothing wrong with it and it isn't addictive either. I decided to give it up simply as I was pleaded to and I did easily lol. Alcohol is a lot more dangerous tbh.

:joker:
It's well known that laudanum was a fave of literary greats but cannabis .... I don't think so.
Should we all start taking opiates to expand our minds?
( this question is not open to stu) ;)

bc weed = opiates. Educate yourself. Maybe if you smoked you'd be more open-minded and informed about drugs. We're all on drugs in one form or another, some are just more beneficial and others harmful. Weed can be fantastic for some people, others hates it. For example my friend and I each have anxiety and it makes hers worse but it alleviates mine and is a much safer alternative to getting addicted to the one class of drugs that actually makes people zombie-like and is one of the few drugs that can kill you from withdrawals, benzodiazepines. I'll stick to my weed as everyone gets on with their caffeine, nicotine, asprin, alcohol, whatever is socially acceptable.

I'll stick to a gin and tonic thank you very much

Go read up on some of the most famous authors, song writers and poets in the world, I'm sure you will find the biggest majority of them disagree with you and I would say most of them are what would be described as pretty creative.

I'm one of the very few (it seems) who disagree with it. There's so many side effects...

(Just a few up there^^^) and I think it will affect teenagers the worst out of any age group.

I hate to sound patronizing here, lol but I just think there are far more cons than pros

Meh. Mushrooms are where it's at. I think leisure park type centers should exist where people can go in and enjoy a psychedelic experience. For an added fiver you can get Leo Sayer music in your head man. In your head man. In your head man. In your head man. Man head. Man head. Head man. Language is meaningless.

:laugh: Some people took my comment to heart.

Put the spliff down and lighten up. :laugh:
