its impossible that anybody i know smokes pot on occasion...only heathens and hoodlums do that...not doctors, teachers (including NCSU professors), lawyers, police, firefighters, construction workers, architects, engineers, etc etc etc etc

i knew a girl in high school who smoked a lot. took 5 AP classes and aced them all, getting 5's on all the AP exams except for one. Maybe pot kills dead/bad brain cells or something. I definitely don't think the world would be worse off if it were legalized though. people may actually be less inclined to do it since it wouldn't be illegal.

Why does it bother you so, quagmire? Is it the fact that minds are on pause when they could be working on important things like cancer research?

quagmire my point is that enough people smoke occasionally that i'm sure you know people who smoke occasionally (maybe not around you) that you consider worthy of hanging out with

i'm sure they wouldnt smoke around you though since you're such a bitch about it

I like functional stoners.

I'm absolutely worthless while high, at least on pot. I get paranoid, introverted, and hungry.

On adderall, I become super efficient, creative, and really energetic.

i'm not being sarcastic because this is a good question...why does it bother me? i don't really know why, in particular...the 5 or 6 times i've hung out with people while they got stoned (i didn't, out of choice...at the time, i had no problem hanging out with them while they did, though), i've just found my time was wasted...i'm sure it's fun to giggle at every little thing and just sit there incapable of forming coherent thoughts, but it doesn't even remotely intrigue me

i guess that i just think it's pathetic that people need drugs to make themselves feel good, to relax...how sad is it that you can't do that on your own?

and i'll go ahead and start the argument - yes, i drink alcohol, but no, i've never been drunk (why would i want to? seriously?)...i'm sure that a glass of red wine over dinner twice a week relaxes me imperceivably, but so does sitting down after a day of standing up...the simple fact of the matter is that i don't relish the idea of relinquishing control of my brain and i think it's just sad that people feel they need to

i don't really watch television, though at least i can LEARN something when i do (i'm a huge fan of discovery, natgeo, and history channels) and i don't think it's a very fair comparison

so, people need to start telling me why they care that i think they're making dumb choices...if i'm so stupid, so naive, and so parochial in my views, then why do you care? you're all easy to troll because you care about what i think...if you didn't, you'd ignore me

i pretty much disagree with everything quag just said

"i just found my time wasted" maybe thats cause you were fucking NOT DOING ANYTHING while everyone else got high

and the thing about getting high to relax, and "how shitty is it if you have to do drugs to do that"

yeah thats retarded

i suppose i should just go ahead and try every drug out there just to say i don't see the point? that's stupid, too...i'm sure i'd enjoy pot and cocaine and everything else, but that doesn't mean i don't know ahead of time that i don't want to be that kind of person

"We found that THC significantly reduced amygdala reactivity to social signals of threat but did not affect activity in primary visual and motor cortex. The current findings fit well with the notion that THC and other cannabinoids may have an anxiolytic role in central mechanisms of fear behaviors and provide a rationale for exploring novel therapeutic strategies that target the cannabinoid system for disorders of anxiety and social fear."

Some people with anxiety disorders use THC to decrease their anxiety levels so they can function

Thanks for answering my question. It's not that I care so much about what you think, I was just curious how your opinion was formed.

I guess my point is that there are a lot of distractions in life, and marijuana is just one of many. I just wanted to know why it was at the top of your list. I respect your decision and your opinion. I think that when you come aggressively with so many stereotypes, people are quick to jump on you. Your arguments, while true sometimes, seem like cliche stereotypes that you picked up in a DARE program brochure.

This argument is way too long and detailed to have, so I'll leave it at that.

you're welcome

and you're right, there are a lot of distractions, and i'm sure i engage in a plethora of them...and i DO think people can smoke pot in moderation (and that, in fact, a lot of people do), but i'm basing my ideas and viewpoints on my experiences...what else do i have to do? i have three SN's on tdub - this one i use the most, and i'm an asshat a lot of the time on it...it's fun to get peoples' dander up because, if they were as content with their choices as they pretend to be, they shouldn't care about what some intarweb heckler thinks of their extracurricular activities...do they think insulting me will change my mind? i hope not

for what it's worth, i AGREE with the old DARE argument...lying to kids and trying to scare them away from something with false information is irresponsible...i don't think pot is going to be the end of the world, and kids shouldn't feel like they're going to hell if they try it

You know you've never tried either and you're judging them pretty hard. I think you should shut the hell up till you try them.

Plus, hanging out with 5 or 6 people who are high doesn't say shit. That's not a simple random sample, therefore you cannot assume that's how the population will respond to pot. Your logic is flawed, statistically speaking.

Also, man there are a lot of fucked up people out there who need it. Some people just physically cannot relax without some help. My best friend has to have pot to calm down, it's just who he is. That's like walking up someone with Xanthophobia and being like 'Why the fuck can't you just look at yellow paper." It's not pathetic it's just who they are. I mean I could call you pathetic because you can't dunk on a basketball goal (by the way you act I'm assuming you missed puberity and therefore are about 4 feet), well I can. But just because I can and you can't doesn't mean I need some fucked up view saying how pathetic you can.

Alcohol is far worse in most regards, and breeds much more disturbing monsters out of seemingly normal people. Life is about the choices that you make, and if pot is something you refuse to try, then so be it. Just don't lie to yourself and believe that your choices really make you better than others in anyway... unless of course your delusions comfort you. If that's the case, then maybe that's your own personal version of getting high.

i didn't hang out with 5 or 6 people...i hung out with groups of people on 5 or 6 separate occasions...how many individual times and with how many stoners do i need to hang out with before you'll deem my experiences as valid? in terms of reading comprehension, you're so far beneath me that it's not even funny...is that pot, or are you always this dense?

i agree about the alcohol...and if one glass of wine over the course of an hour while i eat dinner turned me into a raging and violent alcoholic, then you'd have a point...but in this case, you do not

i will happily decide my choices make me a better person...i choose not to rape, murder, pillage, and plunder, and i do indeed believe that makes me a better human being than one who engages in those activities

In the eyes of society I need to be in jail
For the choice of herbs I inhale.

And down the station the police hold no patience

And Carl Jung And old Kung Fu movies I like to see
Pass the hydrator please
Yeah I'm floating on thin air.

Can't stand crime either them hooligans on heroin.
Drugs and criminals those thugs on the penny coloured will be the downfall of society
I've got all the anger pent up inside of me.

You know I don't see why I should be the criminal

And how many deaths are there per year from alcohol
I just completed Gran Tourismo on the hardest setting
We pose no threat on my settee
Ooh the pizza's here will someone let him in please
"We didn't order chicken, Not a problem we'll pick it out
I doubt they meant to mess us about
After all we're all adults not louts."
As I was saying, we're friendly peaceful people
We're not the ones out there causing trouble.
We just sit in this hazy bubble with our quarters
Discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is.
MTV, BBC 2, Channel 4 is on until six in the morning.
Then at six in the morning the sun dawns and it's my bedtime.

Causing trouble, your stinking rabble

You're on drugs it really bugs me when people try and tell me I'm a thug
Just for getting drunk
I like getting drunk
Cause I'm an upstanding citizen
If a war came along I'd be on the front line with em.

Now Terry you're repeating yourself
But that's okay drunk people can't help that.
A chemical reaction inside your brain causes you to forget what you're saying.

That's asinine. There are plenty of things in this world that every person makes values judgments about that they haven't tried.

Personally, I don't use any illegal drugs... but I have no problem being friends with or around people who do... just because someone does doesn't make them any less enlightened than you.

^^^^ you've yet to answer my question...how many times do i need to hang out with pot users before my viewpoint is valid? you're so convinced you know me, and that you know the circumstances under which i've experienced hanging out with users, so be my personal pot guide - how many times do i need to hang out with them? what should the demographics be of the group? what time of day, what should i wear?

agreed...so is the whole assumption that you can't know anything until you've physically experienced it for yourself...i may not know the feelings intrinsic with being high, but that doesn't mean that i can't have a valid overall idea of how i'd like myself to be (or not be)

Quote :
"you said you drink alcohol...but did you know what it was like to drink alcohol before you yourself actually drank it?"


of course not...but one beer or one glass of wine does not impair my ability to form coherent thoughts and make rational decisions, while in order for me to "understand" what it's like to be high, i'd have to give up something i'm not willing to give up...it's the same reason i don't get drunk

I think what has happened in this thread is exactly why pot won't be legalized anytime soon. There are too many people who have never smoked before who are staunchly opposed to it.

Their reasoning is flawed, but their point is valid. From the viewpoint of someone who has never smoked before, it is a giant waste of time. Like I said before, however, there are thousands of ways to "waste time". Since many of the medical myths have been overturned with time, this may be the last argument opposers can cling to. Like anything, it is often abused. However, there are always exceptions.
