i have these friends who are after-work potheads. they lead normal lives, have jobs, study, have dinner parties, own a couple of dogs, live in a cool as fuck house, etc.

they are nice fun kind funny and great people to be around-- until they get stoned.

then they sit on their couches with half-closed eyes, stare into space with a silly smile, and couldn't hold a decent fucking conversation to save their fucking lives. for shame!

coffee, booze and smoking lead to great conversation and eventual fucking. weed leads to... the munchies and sleep.

weed also leads to many fucking stupid muddleheaded ideas that can't stand up to the most basic examination. of this there are examples galore.

I have bad luck. I can't smoke weed, I just can't. Everytime I do it I get paranoid as hell, and just lock myself up in my head and keep completely wordless. Just sitting in the corner and staring at the others having fun. And when I sober up, the following week or so I always feel depressed and anxious.

So my drug of choice is just a couple of beers here and there.

I smoke weed twice a week but rarely listen to Pink Floyd, even though I like some of their records. I also occasionally take other drugs (including speed) and the last thing that passes through my head is an entire style of music to keep me company while doing so. Wait, I must be mental, then.

The thing is that you don't just have people who smoke weed for recreational purposes. Sad as it might be, I smoke it to relax and get a good night of sleep when I am felling too tired and my back hurts too much. I occasionaly (but very rarely) smoke dope in the company of other people. Same with other drugs: they're ok occasionally, but the price to pay is way too high. If 2 hours of enjoyment give you three days of hell, well, you might as well just take it easy.

You party animal! ha!

By the way, good morning birthday girl.

Weed is the safest drug you can do; it's also probably the worst you can do to feel anything besides a slight tinge of "oh man I'm kinda fucked up right now..."

Personally, I don't like either one. I prefer opiates and disassociatives...

There is no cut-off point with weed, because it is no-where near as ridiculous as speed.

I know loads and loads of perfectly decent, intelligent people who habitually, or casually, smoke weed and fail to notice that (with a pitifully few exceptions) they become lethargic, anti-social lepers with faint notions of the intelligence they haven't excersized for years.


you know, maybe some of these people's lethargy, apathy, or stupidity were just pre-existing conditions? further, the statue was a joke to imply that Herb gives you an irie meditation, a state of clarity, where as we all know that speed does quite the opposite. further, I'm sorry glice, but you will just have to admitt that maybe herb causes social problems (ie, ammotivation syndrome, is a social disease, not a mental one) but it DOES not cause any neurological damage, where as speed, well shit, go kick it with anyone who as been smoking weed every day for five years, and then go and kick it with someone who has been smoking Speed everyday for ONE, and you will see the damage right in front of yr face.

some people should not smoke weed, this is true it is not for everybody. however, NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODY should smoke, snort or slam speed.

!@#$!, that's a great cartoon. I am lol-ing.

Personally drugs either scare me or bore me. Stuff like the harder stuff, obviously, is scary, partly because of the delivery (needles and such) and the physiological effect (I don't want my heart to race, thank you), not to mention the addictiveness.

Other stuff, like pot and LSD, just seems rather banal and pointless.

On the other hand, I like alcohol, but mostly because it usually "tastes" like something. A good, high-gravity beer, for example, has so much flavor and palate qualities and aroma, it's almost like a meal. There's more pleasure involved.

we can find you an equal number of stupid ideas that came from alleged sober people.

some of the early computer programmers claim they got their ideas while on LSD, and back then, it was the real thing.

Weed is boring.
Which, of course, is why I smoke it everyday.
My head hurts and my jokes are dull.
I once had a good thought, though.
Instead of developing it I smoked more pot.
You try living in a town where the people are as culturally deprived as the truckstop down the street.
You try existing solely around people who smoke pot daily and who a genuinely upset if they can't.
Where the only thing to do is ride around back roads, drool forming at your lips, jam bands easing you metamorphesis into a zombie, endless farms rolling by, where cows are the only thing one can truly relate to.
"What's that? You have a great longing, a spark of passion? Too bad."
Cheers to my life.
I think I'll go smoke.
(it does pain me, and is not intentional, that this is how things are)

i think it is better to be alive.

weed's never killed anyone.
rarely has anyone commited aggravated robbery to support a weed habit.

weed is used communaly, with friends, and if you got plenty you will give it away with little worries

weed is naturally occurring flower. you smoke the flower of the marhuana pantr. there are no chemicals added no synthetic tinkering, or lab coat bullshit.

overdosing on weed is near impossible, unless you eat a ton of brownies, and even then the effect is to make you pass out, not death, or a raging rampage a la speed or PCP

weed helps cancer patients and people undergoing chemo for hepatitis and AIDS maintain a normal appetite, helping them heal and nourish themselves.

none of those complaints ahve anything to do with weed man. it has everything to do with the losers you describe. jam band fanatics will love jam bands with ior without weed. wastes and bums will be wastes and bums with or without weed.
why worruy about people who get uspet when they have no weed? remeber what happene din the US when the government told everyoe they could not have any ALCOHOL?

ha ha ha. that's cos they are too sleepy to get violent. but people commit crimes to pay for their weed, like any other addiction.

but anyway, a different story

a pothead friend of mine had this dealer friend who supplied her; one day someone knocks at the door, he opens, they shoot him, go in, grab all his shit and money, and leave. i didnt know if he was left paralized or died completely, i never asked her again, i didn't wanna know.

buds that arrive to your bong are not all holy and crime-free. lots of blood gets spilled on the way. when it gets legalized i'll grow it along my basil and make brownies. but as long as organized crime is in charge, there's a trail of blood to your door. oh yes.

Rob Instigator 01.25.2008 05:00 PM

people kill a dealer to steal his shit? that has nothing to do with the weed man, and everything to do with the asshole criminal who wants to take advantage of a drug dealer.
the only reason there is crime and bloodshed is because it is ILLEGAL

if it were decriminalized, as it is in spain, and aprts of canada, and italy and the netherlands, and many other places in the world, that bullshit would cease.
