Circle K Weed

[Life is Golden]

Same for everyone, Lig. I'm curious about your hypocrisy; it's okay to drink like a fish but not smoke pot?

Obviously abuse is bad, be it drink or pot. Notice that the Seditionists were fueled by Meth, not pot.

A difference is that pot smokers are rarely abusive or violent compared to Meth heads and Alcoholics.

They're just dumb as dirt and have no reflexes.

My point is abuse is bad and substance abusers are using it as a crutch. That is weakness.

The more people I encounter and discover they are either hooked on booze or pain pills, the more I thank the good Lord above I do none of it.

I do none of it. Booze, pot, pills, any of it.

The only vice I've had was I used to smoke cigs but quit that over a decade ago.

That said, don't GAF about what's "banned." My experience around career pot smokers is they are not very sharp and become braindead stoners. Don't care for drunkards either. Any substance abuser. I like having my wits about me.

Well, then you're hanging out with the wrong people. All my weight-lifting trainers used. Pro athletes, artists, many nice and law-abiding people use weed. I'm in really good shape for my age, have no health issues, and I do.

It's not harmful. Your experience is not typical. Please trust us.

Ahhh, the myth of the brain dead stoner…
“Science proves that smoking cannabis does not, in fact, have a negative impact on the brain. The world's smartest pot smokers are proof of that.”

I've managed to keep a 4.0 gpa and still enjoy gummies. So much for that myth. She's just jelly that she can't partake. lol

Poor bitter old bitch. You could use some THC to turn that ugly frown right upside down.

LOL.. Nice

I have a Medical Marijuana license. Awesome. I could lose half my brain cells and still be smarter by degrees than LIG.

I have a tendency to discount government data on the issues.

Then expand your horizons and do research. There are articles out there from various parts of the private sector, including Harvard.edu.

Substance abusers are often mentally ill. They need treatment.

I've run into former surfer-type stoner dudes who have smoked all their life and they seem dumbed down AF.

I never liked pot, and these days, they lace everything from Xanax to pot with Fentanyl. Don't want it, don't need it.

Should we ban alcohol as well? Much more dangerous and poisonous that weed. If MJ is "the devils bush", then why aren't there people murdered by people under the influence of MJ. Booze is much more harmful.. so if you're going after the stoners, you're a hypocrite if you don't go after the booze heads as well.. like you?

Bingo. You are correct. We have over a hundred years of documentation on the dangers of alcohol, from in the womb on. Thousands of Americans die every year from alcoholism, not counting those killed while under the influence in accidents/drownings. But is Minty waxing pompous and self-righteous about *that*? Of course not.

There are a lot of them, surprisingly. And of all ages, which blows my mind. I found out an old childhood friend is addicted to Opioids. Crazy.

Her hatred of pot with nary a word about her alcoholic friends is an odd position to hold.

My friends are business owners, teachers, top 100 real estates salesperson, stock broker, nurses, bankers, dance instructors, politicians, artists, writers, architectures, engineers, and even a pastor. Marijuana has been acceptable in Alaska for a long time, so there are a lot of people in my past who smoke weed.

Agreed. Again, more treatment options. Still, pot is minor compared to alcoholism and pill popping. Yes, some might smoke themselves into a stupor, but that is indicative of mental issues.

Unintentional irony for the win!!!! When does this "wit" thing begin, anyways?

It's more of a hatred for who posted the OP than it is of weed. The dumb bitch is just jealous that it's still illegal in FL. I wonder if she knows that her lickety-split buddy Toxic uses it on her dogs?

 

[zymurgy]

Yes, more "medical" marijuana for the brain dead stoners. Maybe they will run over a gas pump.

Federal policy on this has been even more brain dead.

dumb stoners don't harm me in the slightest. you seem like one of those assholes that would fine or imprison people for doing dumb things

I don't want to be a sot either! It's all bad.

Of all chronic addictions, the end result of pot smoking for decades seem to result in a considerable reduction of intelligence and awareness.

There is a big difference between exposure to a substance in utero and exposure to the same substance as an adult. Pregnant women are advised to not drink *any* alcohol, but once the child is born it doesn't hurt mom at all. Duh.

Don't give a flying fuck about braindead stoners. Nor did I mention anything about the government being involved.

Smoking it ain't killing my brain cells.

I think the truth is hurting a bit here.

this is a contentious policy. So you are just throwing a temper tantrum, and have no real desire to keep regulating people away from making dumb choices?
