Marijuana is the devil!

I read it before you deleted it. Believe me when I tell you that plagiarism was the least of your worries......

Yeah, I was about to say, your lecturers (or whatever) might search an extract of your paper and find it here and that would NOT be cool

See? This is what I consider a problem - you have a person who has worked at a drug booth for over 5 years, has done numerous school reports about drug use and has been educated over and over again about drug use, yet believes that not only did he/she see a person who OD'd on pot BUT also thinks it's smarter to jump off a cliff than to inhale.
To the OP, instead of just spouting off propaganda, why don't you truly educate yourself about marijuana - not just the evils, but also the benefits. What are the costs of keeping marijuana illegal vs. the costs of legalizing it. When you weigh the two different sides, you can then come to whatever conclusions you want and instead of using fake scare tactics that no one believes, you can actually have an intelligent debate with someone about the issue.

Great advice!

You're 17 years old. Many of us responding to your posts have been around for a lot longer. We've tried it or have known others who have. I used to think like you do. OMG if I smoke pot,then I'll hallucinate or go out of my mind. This does not happen. Pot is not the terrible horrible thing that you think it is. I'm 49 years old and have not smoked a joint in probably 20 years. My hubby was a much heavier smoker and he hasn't either. Pot is not addictive because if it were my hubby couldn't make it throught the day w/out it with as much as he used to smoke.
Now if you said cocaine or crack or heroin-I know people who have lost their lives because of these drugs.

Unless you happen to get some that has been laced. Yes, I know this is an argument used in favor of legalization.

You're right Sherry about the lacing but then a drink can be laced too.

Yep. Just to be clear, I'm not advocating legalization. Just making a point that with alcohol and cigarettes under government controls, we have some assurances as to their "safety". Unless you really know and trust your dealer, or grow and manufacture it yourself, you won't have the same quality guarantees.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I used to smoke it too. While I agree that it's no worse than alcohol, I do think it's worse, or as bad as cigarettes, due to the simple fact that there is no filter on a joint.

I've heard that one joint is the equivalent to your lungs, as ten cigarettes. I'm not sure how true that is, but if you look at the gunk left behind in a marijuana pipe after a few uses, you can only imagine what's building up in your lungs.

Why alcohol is legal and marijuana isn't, is beyond me. The only thing I can think of, is that it can't be controlled by the government. Anyone can grow pot; not just anyone can make their own wine/beer/hard liquor.

JMO. YMMV.

I totally agree and why I am in favor of the legalization.

And exactly why I almost lost my life many years ago... angel dust is nasty stuff.


And of course alcohol can be laced, but that's after market, not laced and then sold to unsuspecting kids on a large scale. That's part of what regulation helps monitor.

OP, you are entitled to your opinion. People will always make excuses for what they do/did that was wrong, just to make themselves feel better.and of course they are the experts. Watch......

In case you're not aware, the OP is 17.

 

[CEDmom]

Ahhh, makes sense. With my luck, I'd get hit by some really old, bad driver who shouldn't be on the roads at all, but because I smelled like pot, the cops would blame me. I don't smoke, but if I did, well, that's how my luck would go.

Burned oregano smells the same as pot, don't ask how I know that . Just tell them you were making a big pot of gravy and ran out of crushed tomatoes .

I was trying to be authentic, thought it would go over better if she's stopped . My WASPy self calls it the red stuff in a jar .

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Me thinks CED was already smoking the wacky weed to call it gravy. Or are we talking about a different kind of gravy, CED?

The same thing happened to me, although it wasn't necessarily done to harm me; it was just added in without me knowing.

I didn't almost lose my life though. I take that back. My mother did almost kill me when she had to leave work to let me in, because my key wasn't working.

Of course, it helps when you hold the key right-side up. I tripped big-time and thought someone had broken into my house and jammed the lock deliberately.

I agree - that is some nasty stuff.

How scary that we have that in common. Maybe that's what's wrong with us!

I surely have no idea of what you're referring .

I will never read that user name the same.

OMG!

Wait, let me check. Yup, I'm still alive.

I have no idea when mine was added...long before I got a hold of it and not to harm me personally.

And yes, maybe that is what's wrong with the two of us!

Ya know, I wasn't going to get on this thread, dammit! There goes my good girl image. Literally been more than half a lifetime ago, though...don't want people thinking too many bad things about me now (there are enough bad things that are true ).

Oh, me either. And I've keep my flammable political views to myself, as to why I really think it's illegal too. My momma didn't raise no idiot. A reformed pot-head maybe, but no idiot.

You know, I was at a Dave Matthews concert about three years ago with my now 21 year old, and a woman came up and stood beside me and lit up a joint. She then proceeds to hand it to me (This in the outdoor theater in The Woodlands) and ask if I want some.

I mentioned to her that this was my daughter standing next to me, and she laughs and says, "Why do you think I'm back here? My daughter is sitting down right there."

I almost died. There's 17 - 20 year daughter being a good girl, and here's 40 year old mom getting stoned up on the hill!

And before anyone asks, no, I didn't take a hit.

 

[Am_I_There_Yet]

Oh, and you'd have to be on crack to buy that load.

That movie was hysterical! I thought it was even funnier when I was high.
