Weed talk with my Priest

I just got back from confirmation class, and the teacher is our priest Father Joe. (im not religious, i actually hate religion but my parents make me go) Anyway the priest was talking about alcohol and drugs and going around the table asking why kids drink. All of the kids before me said they drank, went to parties etc and were honest about it. so when he got to me i figured id be honest too. he asked me if i drank and i told him no, but unlike the other kids, he asked me if i smoked. i grinned and said yeah. he then asked if my parents knew, i said yeah and other shit like if i thought it was okay to do, i said yes i dont see any problems with it. I told him its much better than alcohol and that it should be legal. So anyway we are still talking and everyone else in the room is dead silent listening to us. Then he starts talkin about bongs and shit and was like what do you like. i was like it doesnt matter, lol then he starts listing all this shit like waterpipes, hookahs, bongs, blunts, joints, the whole nine yards. meanwhile 80% of the class is going Water in a pipe?? and what the hell is a hookah?? haha. Just thought id share that cause it was a bit nervewracking telling my priest about that even though i dont care about religious values, i thought it was pretty funny that he knew so many mary jane terms though.

 

Haha, thats awsome. Did he mention any relevence to religeon with it? Was he condoning it or reliving good times? =P

 

HaHa! Rock on Padre!

 

All he said was that he protested Vietnam in Washington DC back in the 60's. He said there was a lot of pot there and to quote Bill Clinton "I didnt inhale" or something like that. No relevance to religion though.

 

That's pretty fucking great, haha. Kinda weird that he would go on and on about it like that, but hey, good for him.

 

guy i know in seminary is fucking women like there is no tomarrow... probably because there isn't.

preists were regular joes before god got them

 

He sounds like he's "hip" with the "kids".

 

I had to go to those damn classes when i was younger, hated it, cuz i wasnt religious either, my mom made me go, and i asked the priest if it was ok by the bible to smoke marijuana, and he said that theres nothing wrong with such things as long as its not abused(i take that as being addicted to) So no you wont goto hell for smoking sweet sweet herbs, hey and it dont hurt to give a little to the gods(toss left over bud, meaning what didnt fit in the bowl, or joint, "To the gods!")

 

you toss bud?

hang your head in shame!

anyway that would have been pretty wierd experience.

what? you want me to go hit the bong? ok....

 

eh i know how that crap is. never went to those particular classes as i wasnt catholic but have ben through some similar stuff. i prety much just hung out with my few other drug using pals and we kinda just kept out of everyones way and they left us to our thing. except for the time we went to the pizza party with like 4oz of shrooms. got to say nothing better than a good trip than to sit around and watch 30 other people tripping who dont even know why its happening to them.

 

man thats not cool... people can go instantly insane when given drugs wihtout them knowing. happened with lsd when the army used it lots

 

"But mom! GOD says it's ok to smoke it!"

 

Thats incredibly wrong. You can't go giving people drugs who don't choose to take them and dont even know about it. Talk about immoral. How would you like it if somebody or some business was selling you a product but slipping heroin in it? That's why we outlawed the Patent Medicine companies, they lied about their products, which contained up to 50% morphine in some cases. And you, as an individual, are no less responsible than a business. Consuming drugs is a right, but not a requirement, and you shouldn't force them on people by giving it to them without their consent or knowledge. That's how bad trips happen, really fucking bad trips. That is also what gives drugs and drug users a bad name and keeps these things illegal.

 

a friend of mines friend told her to try this "candy" at her bday party....ended up being acid..i would be so mad if that happened to me.peace and love

 

Uhh... Catholic priests have been known to do MUCH worse stuff than drugs, dont put it past them. That priest smokes. thats a fact.

 

Which I think is awesome. All priests should smoke, it'd get them closer to God.

 

man, if my town's priest was a rasta, wow.. be fuckin awsome. id be more into the bible if my town had a rastafarian sect.

 

There was this old country preacher that used to live around here. He wasn't all hellfire and brimstone but really laid back and didn't really push his ideas around. He's passed away. I shared a pipe with him once because we'd hang out from time to time just yapping about life in general. One day I just fired a bowl up and offered him some and he took it. After that he was one jolly preacher, it was really cool. I think I'll go burn one by his old church tomorrow since you guys reminded me.
