Wow, he smoked some weed with a friend, and it's all bashing and name calling. Another running thread of the night is about a guy joining the Army and it's all cheering and wishing good luck. Nice.
OrGoN3 said:Prophet: Freedom of speech. Do you even know why marijuana is thought to be bad? It all had to do with owners of paper mills starting false propaganda so that companies wouldn't purchase hemp paper over tree paper. Do I have to even start to mention what the paper mills have done to our ecological system? So basically, you are fine with kids watching the news, which show violent deaths every day, but when people talk about a plant that naturally exists, you start flaming? Yes, THC is a mild derivative of acid, yet cannabiods have more medicinal and overall positive traits than negative, especially when used properly (ie, vaporizer). So why not flame somewhere else? No one was flaming you, yet you chose to flame what the majority of America does and has done, and what is an actual American past time. Figures. If you feel moderation is necessary, join the FCC.
Another one of America's past times is unprotected sex, shall we glorify that for the children and teens to? how about drinking? cigarettes? I could care less if he lit up from dusk to dawn, all I'm saying is why come here flaunting it? That's as bad as Joe Camel ad's plastered in stores at 5 year old' eye level. Your attempts to separate from the "establishment" seem to have left you just as cold and callus as those you so eloquently oppose. Many people come here primarily for Nintendo scene info, some of these people are young. I think we should all harbor a responsibility to be careful of the messages that we impart to them while they mosey through. I am oppose, to almost all forms of moderation; but in lieu of the small things I have seen moderated, I just don't see why topics like these are left to flourish.
Further more, in the absence of said moderation, I feel (and I believe others in this thread would agree) that we as a community must counter-balance the idea's of those who would speak before thinking. After all, that is the way that open discussions are usually handled. I think the OP is attention starved, if that's flaming then I guess I'm guilty.
It's a lot different when you bring marijuana in the subject. That's not something you should post regularly in a blog.awdofgum said:One of my pet peeves is, people who demand a lot of attention.
I've seen kids fire it up right on the streets, it's not that big of a deal, mary jane is harmless. But I don't understand why you're online bragging about that, no one cares online, if anyone is going to care, it's going to be the people that you know or have seen. So i don't see why you posted this topic about you smoking in the bog deep into the woods. Do you want that much attention from users that will never see you in real life?
Will you...

Because it's illegal. You are breaking the law to get it. I don't care if you don't agree with the law or the prohibition is all bull, the law is the law.

You are the censor that kills society.
No seriously now, in our country we don't make as big as a deal over having kids read topics like these. It's clear this topic shares enough different opinions that it is in no way influential. In some cases it's even educational to read about others (bad) experiences so they can decide for themselves if they want to use drugs or not.
Personally, I stay away from them, having a clear mind makes me feel good already so I have no use for them.
Pyrofyr said:1)Pot is bad (in most places) because it's illegal.
2)It distorts your perception and slows down most of your motor skills, in essence drinking and smoking pot is as bad as drinking and driving -- actually a bit worse.
3)It has a high chance of giving you lung cancer, much like smoking cigarettes.
4)6~11% of FATAL car accidents are due to marijuana in some way.
5)When eaten, it can be fatal as you overdose easily.
6)All of the side effects of marijuana will take effect permanently, and it only takes approximately 1 year of smoking it daily.

No, I have never done marijuana. Yes, I have done my research. Yes, I know MANY friends who have done marijuana. Yes, I agree that almost all of this information also applies to them, as I've noticed them become stupider and have slower reaction times overtime.
The most I've caught was a contact-high.
