Marijuana - Page 6

**sleeplessdragn** · 08-22-2005, 06:07 AM

Hmmm I havn't browsed these forums in quite some time so I'll drop my two cents in here:

I've tried marijuana myself, on many an occasion, and like Jewpin, I don't smoke, drink, or do anything else. And it's just as he described it, though I was more focused on the loss of time measurement. Marijuana puts you into a comic strip, time flows in blocks, yet every instance of time is vividly, and I mean very vividly, remembered. The ability to focus on a single task is immeasureable, and I recall a certain high where I found myself threading a needle repeatedly with great ease. For me, it is like engaging in a video game, to a certain extent. It takes my brain off of my priorities, relaxed in a way where your responsibilities aren't even at the back of your mind. When was the last time you can recall where you had not needed to worry about <u>anything</u>, not school, not friends, not summer homework, etc.? I think that is a huge difference, and it is what keeps me using. Now I'm not a daily stoner, I've recognized my choices and mostly use the experience as a small vacation from life every few months.

From my perspective, the whole argument on the drug really depends on the choices of the user. I think that it should be treated like alcoholic beverages, and they show similarities. There does exist the subtle drinker, who has a beer or a glass of wine from time to time, and there to exists the alchoholic, whose liver fails at the age of 35. Yet as a society we feel that alcohol is a requirement for regular function; one need only to revisist the days of prohibition to recognize that. And just like drunkness, car accidents are inevitable when on high. So why are these drinks tolerated, but not this drug?

I just tried it. So I'm hardly the person to ask.

No other drugs for me. My life is too full of activities like Soccer, Track, Boarding, School, and Sober Social events to get into any hard drugs. Yeah, I do enjoy Herb every now and then, but the nows and the thens are spread pretty far apart. I never plan to do any major drugs.

There you have it, folks. Two testimonials from weed smokers. Please work around these points.

Two smokers decided that they have better things to do than drugs. If it was legalized, how many people would come to this conclusion rather than going hardcore stoner?

I'd like to point out, again, that I am not an advocate for doing drugs. I'm an advocate for legalization and what I like to call "liberty." I would never do these drugs and never plan to go beyond, perhaps, experimentation (like Jewp).

BS. Simply, BS. If a Mother loves her child she will do whatever is necessary to determine the truth. Sometimes, loves your child means you have to do things that make it look like you hate your child. Man, I would hate to be your child.

A Mother who hates their child will not do (#$% for their son/daughter. If they get caught with weed, will they send their child to a re-hab center? Will they send the child somewhere to get help? No. But a good parent will.

Obviously the parent will know what they did, but will defend them anyways. It's the same in any case, I heard it straight from a mother's mouth. Some girl stole something of mine at my horseback riding farm, and my dad said to not even bother going to her mother because her mother would deny that this girl did anything. This girl is known for causing trouble and stealing things, so obviously the mother is aware of it, yet she would still defend her. I'm just saying, the parents don't want to have to deal with their kid going into jail so they will defend them, but punish them on their own terms.

Mother: "YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO DRIVE THE HUMMER ANYMORE YOUNG LADY!! YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE THE BMW FROM NOW ON!! AND I AM CUTTING YOUR UNLIMITED T-MOBILE ANYTIME MINUTES DOWN TO 500 ANYTIME MINUTES!!! AND ONLY TALL CUPS OF STARBUCKS COFFEE FROM NOW ON!"

Daughter: "THAT'S SO UNFAIR!!! I'M LIVING THE LIFE OF A MIDDLE CLASS MINORITY!!!! NOOO!!!! I HATE YOU MOM, I HATE YOU!"

At least, that's how the conversation would go in some stupid city like Laguna Beach.

Everyone says that Marijuana is the number one gateway drug, but really, most of the people I know who went on to harder drugs started off on drugs like Vicodin and Robitussin (Dextromethorphan) just because they are easier to obtain and have even worse side effects on the body than marijuana. Dextromethorphan literally eats away at your brain from extended use.

What? They aren't smokers. Jewpin smoked once, and sleplessdragn uses it occasionally. I mean, if they have better things to do than smoke, they aren't real smokers now are they?

Actually I don't. The only real reason I dont smoke marijuana is because I am a bum and I dont have any money to buy weed. Now, if you could download it, that'd be a different story.

PS. I am being sarcastic. But not about the "I dont have anything better to do part" because, really, I dont.

Way to go, moron. Not once in that post did a mother tell you anything. It did say, however, that your DAD thought she might do this or that...

Besides, any mother/father who defends their son/daughter in any wrong doings they may do is not doing any service for their child. All that parent will be doing is allowing the child to continue on with this behavior.

Sure, it would be great to have a parent like that, who wouldn't want one? But really, what good would it do me to have a parent that defends whatever I do? If it wasn't for my mom parenting me like a Nazi I very well could have moved on to harder drugs, criminal offenses, and I may not have gotten into Soccer. Even though it would have been nice to have her ignore or defend me in everything I do, I'm happy she does what she does. (What she does is called good parenting)

Thanks.

That's not how we argue in CT, Skika. Attack the point, not the person and always hope you lose.

Actually I was standing right there while my dad was talking to the farm owner's wife(who is a mother of about 4 kids), and she said "Sure, any mother would defend her child."

Straight from her mouth.

LOL THANKS.

Okay. Then you could have said "The Mother Told Me She Would Have Done That" But no, you just said you heard it straight from her mouth. Yet did not quote her in that specific post... I don't doubt that she said that, now that you quoted her... But that doesn't mean she is a good mother.
