The voting is anonymous, don't worry.

The only reason I no longer partake is because of my son. I cannot do anything to risk losing him.

(And to the NSA, fuckoff!!!)

My ass this voting is anonymous. Unless you version of anonymous is something different then mine.

I voted yes, only because it has been less then a year since I have stopped. I dont want these fuckers having anything they can use against me.

Not for quite awhile, but I miss some aspects of the experience. It was pleasurable, but one of the most interesting aspects I found was how it seemed to be able to enhance the depth of my thinking about whatever I was focused on far beyond the level I could normally attain without it, but at the expense of totally losing awareness of everything outside of what I was focused on. Those who have done it know of what I speak. It made me aware, for the first time, of how limited our thinking is normally. Some deny the mind-enhancement is real, having never gone there. I know it is.

Have I done it ... yes, a few times, before you were born (it was the '70's , that's my excuse and I'm sticking by it! )
Am I proud of it , no

I'm a healthnut now... good food, fresh air, exercise... well, yes , if taking stairs instead of elevator counts

I know what you are talking about AFW. Manyreligions in the world consider cannabis that fabled "Tree of Knowledge". It has also been proven to be the most effective means of controling ones ADD. Wonder why its illegal.

I just don't inhale.

oh, you partied with Bill Clinton then?

Hea,
It got him off the hook, didn't it?

Kinda like Bush's, we aren't trolling.
That's right Bush, you just troll for seven and a half lb. perch on your own pond.

No, never.

Beer has always been my "drug" of choice.

The only reason it isn't legal is that DuPont and Hearst had a joint venture with a synthetic rope and the HEMP crop was a threat. They did the yellow journalism thing and vavoom, a monopoly in the rope market. Actually reefer is one of the most researched and safest of all the drugs.

I took care of a cancer patient year ago and that was the only thing that took the edge off and helped the appetite. The Rx variety was $90 a pill and didn't work half as well as $3 worth of weed. No profits like pharma profits.

I don't like the smell so much but I'm a child of the Woodstock generation and have inhaled and swallowed my share of recreational, mood altering stuff. None of it does too much for me. I like a marguirita and coffee with kaluah, dark choclate.

Now if I had a few drinks and some choclate and someone passed a doobie my way I'd inhale. The only thing I won't touch is GMOs and prescription drugs. That's scary stuff with a very bad trip of side effects. If you're taking a drug it shoud be fun, if not screw it.

Two cheers to that Fed!

There are three people here who smoke pot? I'm voted for the second option, so i am not one of the three. I soon will be though

Don't get me wrong. I'm not against the use of pot anymore than I'm against the use of Rum and Coke!
It's just that I haven't, but if offered, I likely wouldn't say no.


I have no issue with these things.
What I do have an issue with, is when the use becomes excessive.
Back in the day, i smoked pot excessively.
First thing in the morning, all day, last thing before turning off the light and go to sleep.
At school, at work, driving, playing, etc, etc.

The only consolation of explination I can offer, is that way back when pot was a different thing than it is today.
Back then, one person could actually sit and smoke a joint like ya do a cigarette.
Try that today and you'de be in a coma for a couple of days.
Back then we bought pot in what was called "a lid" which was a sandwich baggie.
It cost 10 bucks and if the lid wasn't "3 fingers deep" you got ripped off.

I once bought several pounds of discard leaf from some grower friends, and it lasted me over a year.
Though I did quite freely give it away too!

See, most of the time I wasn't out to get wasted.
I just wanted a perpetual buzz!

The problem is, one day I woke up, I was 27 and wondered where the hell 10 years of my life had gone?
I learned that pot did a wonderful job of taking off the edge, and that was the problem!
When life got hard, have a bong hit and pretty soon it didn't matter!
It took a while for me to learn that sometimes yer SPOSED to be scared shitless, and wonder what the fuck yer gonna do about what ever it is that makes ya wanna self medicate!


But hey, ya want a few beers every now and then? Not an issue.
You want to smoke once or twice a month, I doubt that's gonna put anybody into a tail spin.

So, work hard, and enjoy life!

Tried it in the late 60s, decided I didn't need anything else to give me the munchies. As I recall, I did inhale.

I can assure you that i have inhaled. Oh my god, my first time i took such a huge hit that that my lungs had to have been completely full of smoke. I also remember coughing for about five minutes, then i remember my vision became really clear, then i remember time skipping forward in bursts(that was so cool), and then i don't remember much after that. So yes, I did pass out. I was sitting in the back seat of my brother’s car while he was driving around. His girlfriend was there too. Anyway, I blacked out when we were still driving and then I woke up about five minutes later on his girlfriend’s couch. I had been to her house many times but it took me at least 10 minutes to figure out where I was. That was one fucked up night.



Wait, so who else here smokes pot. We have MM and maybe Max. Who are our other two resident pot heads? TJ, i am looking in your direction. Billy perhaps?

I voted yes. I smoke maybe 2 or 3 times a month, if that. I never buy it though, sometimes I get in exchange for fixing a friends car or just smoke up with them. I'm a freeloader in that regard.

I also have this wierd thing where I cannot smoke if the sun is up. For some reason if I do smoke during the day I have a really bad experience and won't smoke again for months. I don't know why that it.

I also never drink and hate the taste of beer and have only tried a few drugs other than pot and didn't really care for any of them.

This should be such a non-topic. Most of the US has used some kind of illegal drug at some point. There is nothing more pathetic than someone doing drugs because they think its cool, or dropping it into a story because they think it makes them look cool. Its like taking an aspirin - we all do/did it, no big deal. Legalise some drugs, take the cool factor away and let people make their own decisions

It really is long past time to do away with prohibition!

Used to quite a bit. Still got straight A's in High School. Enter paraquat, really dry seasons and waaaa laaaa they started hydroponics. That shit is just too strong for me. Than I got allergies, and I get really congested if I smoke it now.

Do I still hit one a couple times a year? Im a musician.

But Im mostly old, boring and innocent these days.

I voted yes. I don't partake nearly as much as I did in my 20's (I'm 43 now), but I do enjoy a toke from time to time. I don't drink, nor do I do anything else mind altering .....but I do enjoy a little 'wacky tabacky' on occasion.

I quit tokin' about 18, 19 years ago. But up 'til then, I smoked like a chimney, and loved that weed. For some reason, still unknown to me, I just lost interest in the whole pot thing...growing, rolling, smoking, buying, selling...it got boring.

There's another interesting thing about being a pot head,
and that's that pot heads tend to hang out with pot heads.
Not that this is terrible, but that leaves a whole lot of people excluded!
When we grow up a bit and diversify our interests, we discover many things.
I've learned the value of reaching up, or having people around me that I feel are at least in some ways, better than me.
It's good to have expanding possibilities that are not stagnent.



I'm trying to be real careful here and not sound like anybodies dad.
But ya know, as I get older my respect for those dads sure does grow.

I have a "working musician" friend in his 50's...went golfing the other day, with a High End Attourney, a corporate CEO and a bank president.....seriously, ti only sounds like a joke. He laughed and said, what is the world coming to when the musician was the only one who didnt smoke pot on the golf course.

Its wayyy more common than you think, Sky and saying stoners only hang out with stoners really only holds true in the HS set. Sigh, it should be legal, its way less damaging to the body & society than alcohal.

I do understand and I was speaking in generalities to make a point.

That being, that I personally have no issue with any of it, as long as it's used in moderation.
Unfortunately, there are those who are unable to do anything in moderation.

NEver smoked ANYTHING, never consumed alcahol. Who says atheists cant be moral!!!

Now, now. Who says smoking or drinking are amoral?

Looks like we're alone in the "no smoking" category greeny.

However, I do enjoy my beer!!

Since i have stoped smoking, my mind has been in total chaos. I have trouble focusing on one single thought at a time.

It really was the only thing that worked for my ADD.
