jeeezus fuck man, it is really irritating to deal with someone with such poor reading comprehension-- read my posts again, especially the last ones about my friend going nuts. did you even see that? and read again the phelps thread to comprehend what i was saying, and which glice clarified further, and so on. do you really not get the point of what is said to you, or does your brain just filter the bits and pieces of information that you do not want to hear?

your purported "sarcasm" in that phelps thread was obscure to all readers, what your prose conveyed was the notion that because some productive people smoke weed it justifies all use of weed, including abuse. did you not see this? of course not.

i make an obvious distinction between moderate recreational use, and abuse and addiction. i do not make a blanket condemnation of your preferred herb, but neither do i think it's ok to live in a permanently blazed state.

the reason i do not advocate marijuana ABUSE is because it generates delusional patterns of thinking just like the ones you exhibit.
you're like an alkie with a rotten liver who's trying to justify the greatness of the drunken state for all occasions-- permanent drunkenness at all costs. so yeah, whiskey can be nice sometimes. same as your divine fucking weed. but this is a distinction of degree and frequency of use that you blatantly ignore. why? because instead of a rotten alkie liver, you appear to have the distorted cognitive functions of a classic pothead. this is addictive behavior-- to deny all damage and glorify the addiction. but you're not even aware of the scope of your delusion, because you're constantly stoned and how could you do otherwise?

that's exactly the damage of long-term addiction, and you're living proof of it, self-appointed holy man! you only hear what you want to hear, and you only learn what you already know-- you're like a george bush of a different persuation, living in a distorted reality to fit your emotional needs. i'm not claiming this from knowing you personally, by the way; i'm inferring this from the way you present your arguments and from the way you respond to others.

yeah, you may have some valid points, you seem to be a good natured person under the cloud of smoke, but you end up making a muddle of even your best arguments. and you can't see this in your drug-induced self-righteousness-- you only see what you want to see, what fits your fantasies and delusions.

of course, you have a right to do that if you want, the world is huge and there is room for all of us, mostly without stepping on each other's toes whenever possible; but do not ask to be believed, or be taken seriously, reading and writing the way you do, with the thinking patterns of a delusional drug addict wrapped up in his own fiction--that's asking too much of the rest of us. so at least try to see why others can possibly disagree with you without being "evil agents of babylon."

of course, you're a person, and i do wish you well, and frankly if i didn't give a shit i wouldn't waste the time to write all this, so do not take my aggressive stance as an "offense"-- take it as a slap in the face to get you to wake the fuck up from your drug-fueled fantasy world. of course you are free to take it or leave it, but at least please have the politeness of fully understanding what i'm saying (without the wishful thinking and the selective reading) before you respond.

all the best,
