Similar to Sarah's post, I'd like to see the day when I go to my grocery produce section and see pot available, just like any other herb.

On edit, I'd rather people smoke weed than drink alcohol. I find alcohol to be the worst of the two "evils."

I think that really depends on who you're drinking and/or smoking with.

[buckymcnix]

ok - for realz -

what??


lol

sarah - you are right - carrie just needs REAL weed - and the aromas and strains are all different - my fave is blueberry - no it doesn't smell anything like blueberries but it's a great name.

and it actually is very effective medically -
arthritis, migraines etc.

[gldstwmn]

I don't smoke weed anymore.

[estranged4life]

Nah, I have never tried it but every person in my family has smoked it...

Thus rendering the opening lyric of the Merle Haggard's song "Okie From Muskogee" inaccurate - "We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee..." (Yeah right, my family opened the market in Muskogee for pot, c'mon man!!!)

it's practically limitless medicinally speaking. there are many people being treated with it, and they don't get "stoned".. each strain has different cannabinoids, and different combinations of them produce different effects. we like to get stoned off the THC, but many patients don't want to be stoned.. they want the anti-inflammatory properties, or something to promote an appetite, or anything else, really. many don't even smoke it, instead opting for tinctures of whatever active "ingredient" they seek.

it's taboo to say it, but there is a bit of evidence that cannabis (especially in form of oil) was used in Jesus' healings. And really, I don't think that's outside the scope of possible reality.

And funnily enough, the Bible predicts a good herb's prohibition:

… And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:29-31)

God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be for meat."

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall … speak lies in hypocrisy … commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (Paul 1 / Timothy 4:1-3)

Ahhh.. Research. The Weapon of Mass Awareness.

I did a little bit in college, but I haven't in about four years or so. I never thought the high was that great.

[LiamMcConville]

Never have, never have had the urge.

I've been in "hot box's" many a time, but never have actually smoked it myself. I'm not a fan of the smell, but it definitely doesn't bother me when people smoke it. Except for my idiot younger sister of course. Also, I don't really like the idea of intentionally ingesting smoke, so I've told my weed-chef friends, if they want me to get high with them, they better make me some damn good Butter Cookies.

By the way, if you all want the "recipe" for the best "Butter Cookies" you've ever had, I'm sure I can hook you up.

Interesting you automatically seem to assume he was referring to it from the social aspect, and not health wise- because only an idiot would suggest that marijuana use is more harmful to the body than alcohol, especially over a sustained period of time.

is it strange that I become incredibly intelligent when I'm high? I can come up with the most philosophical scenarios and make up new words. 2 of my most infamous musings while high are: coming up with the word neosapian (which I think is actually a word) and saying "both sides of my brain are working in tandem now!"

holy ****.

i know exactly what you mean. see, with my brain, the problem that i have is lack of clarity because i constantly jump from thought to thought, worry to worry. the grass helps me slow down a bit and actually, yknow, finish one thought before moving on to the next. so i like to keep a little journal handy and write... the problem with that is that my handwriting is crap when i'm stoned. maybe if i can train the sides of my brain to work in tandem every time.....

you and me both. in fact, I could have posted, word for word, what you just said. I love it when I feel like I smoked some bad pot and that I won't get anything from it and then all of a sudden, it hits and I start to giggle. when that happens, it's on bitches.

normally, I'm a ditzy blonde with moments of clarity. think Stevie, circa 1983. stoned, I'm cool, chill and a ****ing genius. think Stevie, circa 1983.

[danax6]

I never smoke that stuff, and I hate people who do! Go away!

that is the best.. because it's like, at first you're leaning towards getting kind of sad about it, like you wasted money on crappy weed and got your hopes up for nothing.. and then, it hits, and everything is better. it's like you're twice as happy as you normally would have been.

on another board that i frequent, there's a thread for "random things friends say when they're stoned". it is the funniest stuff i have ever read.. and you can tell some of these people are pot philosophers, too. there are, of course, the resident stoner idiots.. but hey. every group has its idiots.

next tour, i vote the ledgie stoners have a tailgate party/bake out before a certain show. woot.
