Really? Now you stand Einstein with the dope smokers in order to justify your want for drugs?

As a dope smoker I resent being compared to Einstien, a thieving lying sack of bullsh it. A con artist who tried to convince the world that everything came from nothing.

Because cannabis is more dangerous.

ROFLMFAO.
You now owe me a cup of coffee cause that made me laugh so hard I spilt my last cup. I had to clean the floor too.

Einstien was a socialist?

Cocaine abuse causes lots of physical problems that pot doesn't. Pot just makes you stupid. If you doubt that, there is ample evidence on this forum.

Just how much do you and waldo smoke every day?

I smoked the weed when I was a younger man. In retrospect, I really didn't like the way it made me feel but, maybe I wanted to be cool and fit in. So I smoked my fair share I guess. Drank a lot of alcohol as well. Beer and tequila mainly. Thing I remember most were the hangovers. I got terrible hangovers. Smoked cigarettes for many years as well. Most addictive and along with alcohol, the most destructive in my opinion. I don't do any of those things anymore. But that's just me. Not interested although there are times when it is hot outside a cold beer does sound good. There is a lot of money in all of these things. As destructive as alcohol and tobacco are, people still produce them because they are very lucrative, regardless of the toll in destroyed human lives caused directly and indirectly by these two things. I don't know the damage cannabis causes but I'm sure eventually we'll find out. We do know this. As long as there is a buck to be made, the health and well being of humans who partake of these things will not be high on the producers list of priorities. Know wut uh mean Vern.?

well have you researched it or are you shooting from the hip....I say you didn't research it and you are shooting from the hip

as for your assumptive conclusion as to why I said what I did, you are once again wrong

see here's where people like you mess up and lose the argument...I don't smoke pot, I don't do well with it, never did so your assumption is wrong like many others who like to assume and conclude in order justify their crusty behaviour and short attack methods

so....wrong on all counts

There was a time when alcohol was the pot of the day thanks to prohibition.
People drank and speakeasies were the order of the day like drug houses
are today,. In the mid thirties prohibition came to an end and the FBI was
about to go out of business,. They were mandated to bring down the mob
mostly through accounting records and the local police handled the enforcement.
To keep a national police force they needed ten million dollars to fund it so they
turned on pot and made it the killer drug. They had videos of people tearing out
their hair coming off pot. They played them to school kids as late as the fifties.
Even today the new ads are full of misleading or inaccurate information.
You cannot have a war on drugs unless you have a visual enemy
They do not want to win the war on drugs they want to fight the battle for the money.
I don't and never have used the drug however I have watched the government
make criminals out of ordinary citizens in order to fund a losing cause theat makes so
much money for the worthy few

I wish I had a time machine. To hear the music in the speakeasies. To hear the beginnings of jazz and blues...to hear it live and clearly would be amazing.

To hear Lady Day...to hear her sing with Count Bassie and Artie Shaw...I would give just about anything to hear her live.

I was sooo born in the wrong era.

Because you need to be doped up, everyone else should?

Skook, every one of the cells in your body has CB1 and CB2 receptors, I believe, look it up. There is very old stories that this plant was cultivated because of that. Another strange thing about the stuff is that it has distinct male and female forms, something unique to plants, if I ain't mistaken. It's the best fibre, the best food and the best medicine, all in one. Some say that was the result of advanced science.

If you can call what I am doped up based on the weight of words on your computer screen, why are you here and not out spreading your wisdom at a casino or buying lottery tickets? The option is here. Only a true jerk holds himself as the standard for the world.
