Who cares? I'm not going to be buying pot regardless of how much it costs, or where it comes from. I've tried it, and found that I like myself more when I'm not stoned. Living in a blur is no way to live. Paraphrasing Dean Wormer....Fat, 'wasted' and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
I know of at least 15 people that smoke pot daily; all work for a living, and do pretty well financially. Why not let them buy it legally, paying tax on it? Who cares? They're going to get it anyway. >sean ++++++++++++++++++ Yeah ... my experience is much the same. I don't really understand the minds of those people who get so exercised about it, it's really not that big of a deal. There are just some people who aren't happy until they have a list of things to feel paranoid about. (and I'll allow that 45 years of being a chronic user has likely tempered my apprehension of paranoia) I have mixed feelings about legalization; ideally I don't think it should be illegal, but making it legal might turn out to be more damaging to my happy lifestyle than keeping it at the same level of illegal it's currently at, e.g., closer scrutiny of everybody. Being illegal has not impeded my usage that much; I and those users that I know have already long since worked out our necessary accommodation to the various issues around it. Don't go out of your way to irritate the authorities (or your neighbors) and you won't have that much trouble. Darwin will weed out the truly crazy. In California, simple possession of less than an ounce is not even a misdemeanor crime these days; I can't think of any reason a person would need to carry that much out in public.
Kinda like driving 5 mph over the speed limit, eh? No harm, I'm sure. Move along, nothing to see here.
I would think it should be legal as well. it really is no different than alcohol. I do think if it is ever truly legalized. it could cause more trouble down the road though. there are a lot of dealers that make there money from it. if it is legal. That means they will have to start pushing harder drugs if they still want to make money. kind of a catch 22 there. I am not defending deals. just looking at the ripple effect it could cause
It would be great for the dealers. They would no longer have to fear prosecution for having it on them, and kids are a big part of their market. They win big time.
As there are no known narcotics in Ripple, one can only assume that the effects on it's sale or popularity would be minimal, if at all. Now, you bringing it back into the public eye... that may well cause a sales explosion.
Gah! MD gave me the worst headache I have ever had. Swore me off everything but beer, truth be told. Mixed it with Wild Turkey (gross!), root beer schnapps, and goldschlager. I'm surprised I survived that night. Shouldn't leave teenagers alone in a house full of booze. Maybe I was 20. Who cares.
We'd get two bottles of Mad Dog each, drink them and listen to Pink Floyd in the car on an 8-track. Ah, good times.
We were using cassettes when I was in high school! What kind of backwater third world country did you grow up in Oh, that's right Detroit. Did they get color TV there before you moved out?
We were usually sitting in a sweet, white, 1975 Pontiac Bonneville, with blue velour interior. It had Radial Tuned Suspension!!! The 8-track was OE. Why you gotta be so negative, all the time?
If this is a thread about the changes comming to USA. I asked my Doctor about obomacare. He said that comming to the Dr the first time is ok, but on your second visit if are not cured he will face a fine. He said this included azmatha (breathing problems). diabeties and yes smoking. If your Dr pays a fine he will either quit, raise prices or tell you that you are ok whick in reality you will die.Please check with your dr and see if he or she feels the same way. We need to know more about this.
In High school, my 58 TR3 had a cassette player, as did my 68 Buick Special. The TR3 was fun to drive, the Buick was fun at the drive in! The cassette was new in the early 70's, and that impressed the girls. With an 8 track in the eighties, I imagine most of your time in the car was spent with your buddies. Course, I imagine most fathers with daughters had gotten them out of Detroit by then. Just as you are not raising your daughters there
My doctor said the same sorta thing about insurance companies years before the word Obamacare was spoken. They want a profit first, you getting better is secondary. By the way, if you google 'azmatha', funny stuff pops up.
