Good gawd you really are slow on the uptake. I did not say that I think you read all my posts. Your "ass"umption is obviously arrived at due to your limited comprehension skills. I said that you could probably find it (there have only been a handful of pot threads in the last year or so) alas, it would appear I gave you entirely too much credit.

No I'm not slow on the uptake at all. Again with the insults, you really are upset now. If you get this pissed off over telling someone if you use Cannabis or not, then you should simply stay out of these threads and preserve your health. Being so bitter is not healthy. Probably the best thing for you would be to go smoke some Cannabis and relax a little. That you would post a half a dozen long winded messages to cover your ass on a simple yes or no question speaks volumes.

I have answered it and would be more than willing to answer it again. I only need two things. One, is that you explain the relevance and two, you apologize for being such a cry baby. Of course, you could not bother and simply look back through some of the old pot threads.

But this makes you a liar. You won't say if you have or do use Cannabis or you would have already. So all this is, is a smoke screen that I can see right through.
You've never posted this information before and I suspect that it's because you know that your answer will discount your opinion on this matter. Why does that make you so fearful?

No, what you have done is made the erroneous claim that it matters to me. Given that I've already answered the question, it obviously doesn't....to me anyway (to you it seems vitally important).

Well, it does matter to you. As well it matters to anyone with the time to consider your opinion, (do you have an opinion of your own) on the issues.

Well that's definitely a possibility and you will never know if I'm giving an honest answer or not. That's the drawback to anonymous forums (and the main reason my answer is irrelevant). Now you on the other hand, your drug use is self evident.

Honestly, some of us can tell you're a liar. You give yourself away but that's not important now. You should work at riding yourself of the hostility and angst that well up in you when these issues get you upset. You will be happier that you did in the long run.

Let's hope today will turn out better for you Canuck. ;-)

It's not an insult it's an observation. It's like saying Patrick Stewart is bald. It's self evident....and I guess maybe you really are that pompous that you believe you can upset me.

If you get this pissed off over telling someone if you use Cannabis or not, then you should simply stay out of these threads and preserve your health.

If I got pissed of, of course....but then you wouldn't be able to entertain me. I love these pot threads. Next to the "CIA is behind 9/11" threads, they are the best.

You've never posted this information before and I suspect that it's because you know that your answer will discount your opinion on this matter. Why does that make you so fearful?

You have looked through every post I have ever made? Wow...you're good (although you have missed one or two). As a side note, why would my answer (one way or the other) discount my opinion. I only follow the science. Are you saying that the science will change depending on my pot smoking habits. You give me far too much credit (I'm actually blushing now).


As well it matters to anyone with the time to consider your opinion, (do you have an opinion of your own) on the issues.

I think science is doing a great job figuring out the pros and cons of marijuana. As I said earlier in this thread..

Pot is not as bad as its opponents would have us believe but it certainly isn't as good as its proponents suggest.
My opinion is pretty clear. Perhaps you just can't see it through your pot induced haze.

Honestly, some of us can tell you're a liar. You give yourself away but that's not important now.

...well that and you have that crystal ball that works so well for you.


Let's hope today will turn out better for you Canuck. ;-)

Everyday is better than the last for me. I hope your life improves.

Like in the other thread I can see that this is just getting you more and more upset. You're not even talking about the topic anymore. You don't have to answer the question anymore. Have a good one Canuck. ;-)

There is no god to fear in my life.

Contradiction in terms, cliffy. Using the juxtaposition that the opposite of love is not hate, it is fear.. without God, there is nothing but fear.


I have my own personal connection to the divine that does not require adherence to anybody else's dogma. Religion is slavery. I have my own personal connection to the divine that does not require adherence to anybody else's dogma. Religion is slavery.

Oh, mighty cannabis cosmic muffin, we believe in you. :roll:

And here you jump to two silly conclusions. Just because I don't believe in religion does not equate that I don't believe in god. And I don't smoke pot, so pot is not my god, it is just a very useful medicinal herb. But then I wouldn't expect anybody who is so dogmatic to understand that there is life beyond dogma.
The opposite of love is hate. The opposite of fear is faith and trust. One does not need religion to have faith. In fact religion is the opposite of faith.

Dogma is simply a system of prescibed tenets and principles. If you don't have that all you have is just a pile of mush, that conforms itself only to immediate self gratification. It can't be described as faith, which is alway fastened by responsibility... defined in dogma.

And the opposite of love IS fear.

And i don't care if you take your cannabis in smoke, muffins, or the 'water soluble' variety.. doesn't make you any less of a pot head.

Ah! The regimented mind, stuffed in a hermetically sealed box of its own making, safe and secure from the trials and tribulations of life. Must be nice to be so secure in a world where the only constant is change. Aren't you suffocating yet?

Using the juxtaposition that the opposite of love is used car salesman is just as ridiculous. Atleast the mighty cannabis cosmic muffin is real, listens and helps support people in their time of need. Not like your god who spent all the time in his first book being mean and making people scared of him and demanding sacrificial babies, goats or sheep or women or what ever was handy at the time. :roll:

All Cannabis ever asked of anyone is a good imagination and something to drink. Maybe a nice nosh later on would be in order. Deal with it.

You really don't know anything at all about Cannabis do you. 8O

I have trouble believing you ever had any religious instruction at all, cliffy, much less Catholic. I'd suggest you might start with the Lives of the Saints, to put in order exactly what is expected at the apex of religious life.

It's you cliffy, that seems drawn, to contest religion whenever its brought up here, with whatever patter and slander you can muster.

Maybe your own form of anti-ecclesiaticism, since you reject the term atheism, even though your god is utterly without imminence, or, moral or material form.. simply isn't giving you much succour.. and your antagonism is simply a plea for something more substantial

Many saints started that way, cliffy. ;-)

Actually, the opposite of love is indifference.

Question: Why do you use wine to represent the blood of Christ?

Man made booze. God made pot. In whom are we supposed to trust?

Catholicism 101.. the Eucharist.. IS the Body and Blood of Christ.. no representation involved.

I suppose God made hemlock, and poison ivy as well, but he gave man the good sense, although not necessarily the character, to know what and what not to injest, from the Garden of Eden to now.

But if you have injest anything i'd suggest a dark lager (Smithwicks is nice) or a dram of Bushmills or Ballantines, will do you less harm than doobie.

And the absence of the Benevolence of God, is a realm ruled by fear. History is actuated by just that.

What's to know, i spent about 2 years under its and various other hallucinogens' spell.. and i know there is nothing worthwhile to 'know' about it.

There is plenty to know. Now we're just scratching the surface when it comes to Cannabis again. Old cultures may have known more about it than we do as it's been referenced in many ways by many cultures thousands of years old. Why there is even an argument claiming that it's the tree of knowledge mentioned in the xtian bible.

From the things you've posted here about your experiences with Cannabis, I would, in my considered opinion, say that you know very little about it. As we all know, a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
