    I'm so fuckin' tired of seeing "1 in every 5 16-year-old drivers get into car accidents due to weed" Goddamnit, how many good 16 year old drivers are there anyway?! Did they do this study on asian folk? (no offense, asian people you guys make awesome food)

    Also, fuckin' TV shows, like 7th heaven, and all the fall-line-up shows all have episodes devoted to slamming stoners. They will have the father character find a baggie in the kids room. The father tells the mom. The mom and father wait for the kid to get home, and have a long, boring, pointless conversation about how one drag off your joint will make you a bum.

    Another one I hate is at this bus stop thats 5 blocks away from me. There's a picture of a kid holding the smallest hair-joint you've ever seen, and thats in a BEFORE picture. Then, you see some kid with a hood on, selling newspapers , sitting on a milk crate on the AFTER photo. Who are they trying to brainwash anyway? Voodoo pharmacology didn't work in the 60's, why would it work now?

    Feel free to post your input.. and crap.

    They do that because most people who smoke weed turn out into being brainless lazy idiots.

    Thank you for proving my point.


    and The End Complete, the problem is that some people smoke so many times a day that they are constantly under that unproductive effect.

    I know people who smoke all day long that are highly productive. Your over-generalizing rubin. The people who become brainless unproducitive idiots generally were lazy to begin with.

    The thing is rubin, normal people don't smoke when they have important things to do.

    That's why I did not say "all" to begin with, I said most... and by this adressing the teenage population refered to in the adds the The End Complete described.



    Ryoto... life itself is important.

    You're not enjoying life, you're enjoying the absense of intellectually stimulating life, the absence of the need to think.

    Did you also read the description of the joint? And that it was just one joint? And that its telling us that JUST ONE joint can turn you into a hobo (even though thats crap)?

    1 joint can open up a pathway to many more joints...

    Hell, I would love drugs to be legalized......to people over 21.

    alcohol is perhaps the most destructive drug out there and you use that plenty from what I've read and are not 21. Why do you have a different stance on illegal drugs?

    Hey, I may not be 21, but I smoke responsibly. Besides, if smoking cannibis were made legal for persons over 21, it would just be even easier for teens to get it. No annoying phone calls. Just go up to a bum, or your older brother/sister and give em some extra bread.

    And sure, 1 joint can open up a pathway to many more joints... but some people try it once and hate it. I don't know why they would. But some do. Also, its just a hair joint! your getting 80% paper!

    Of what he speaks. He may not be stupid. Just ignorant. Probably really wants the best for all of us, means well. Apparently he hates stoners. Kind of proves the point of the start of this thread, that stoner-bashing is mainstream, safe, all too common. If only the normals knew how many stoners they deal with every day - (possibly even) their dentist, their postman, their heroes in the arts, their attorneys, cops on the beat..... He's probably encountered a few dozen ignorant, poorly behaved stoners, signed on to his hackneyed analysis ("it's the absence of though" or whatever), and hasn't a clue on the world. Whatever. Perhaps he thinks beer, television, or shopping lead to the kind of intellectual experience he so reveres?

    Any case, this is a marijuana thread in the "hip forum" website. Apparently, he's looking for the anti-marijuana thread in the "square forum" wesite. Rubin, you've got the other 99.99999% of the web to inflict yourself on. Why don't you not trample on the buzz of a few people who share at least a few common sentiments?.

    I drink responsably. I know how to handle my alcohol more than most "adults" I know. I do not use it frequently, and do not abuse of it.

    You smoke responsibly, while others abuse it. No, it would not be easier, there would be stronger laws and stronger drug control. Drugs are much easier to get than liqour these days in the US.

    Hell, most people would ignore these commercials, or even better: get intrigued by them, and try it.
