I hate pot smokers!!, there I said it!

[Socrates the Greek]

What happens if that pot smoker is out driving around? The biggest problem in society is people....

Good day LW, the menace of the roads are the drunks who constantly drink and drive, the old folks who are under (in many cases) 5 – 10 deferent pills daily medication to keep reflex and cognitive function possible.

Let’s face it isn’t a perfect life for any one walking the surface of our planet.

We all need that something to keep going, but alcohol for sure it messes life up bad, old drivers are having a difficult time walking, just imagine what that means for a person having this difficulty and driving to go see the doctor, oh sure not all but enough of them you see coming out of the doctors office having a hard time walking taking 5 minutes to live the parking lot, and that becomes a huge problem with regards to driving impairments. Pot smokers a mild people.

The most dangerous one out there is the one who thinks "it can't happen to me...."

No one will ever argue successfully that one. We all seem at time to pick the best out of two evils, like (the devil I am friends with and the devil I am weak against like alcohol for example)
Two wrongs don’t make a right, I am respectful to that rule. Enjoy the weekend....:smile:

"I'm very surprised to see you saying that Y.J. It was only a week or so ago that you were repulsed by the use of bibical terms for any other purpose and led me to believe you are a Christian. But yet you seem to shun one of the basic teachings of the Bible - "hate the sin, but love the sinner"- Do I detect a little hypocrisy here, Y.J.?"

JLM, hyprerbole is a literary device one uses to express one's view with deliberate exaggeration. My use of the word "hate" was strictly hyperbole.

At the same time, there is little hypocrit in all of us. Also, a little racist, ageist, sexist, xenophobe, anti-this, anti-that, etc., in everyone of us. And the louder one denies this, the more the proof that is is true.

So, maybe I am a hypocrit at times. Aren't we all? Aren't you? Ever?

You bet, Y.J. but only when it's to my advantage.

Look at every issue that has believers and non-believers.

Dwell on that a moment.

The volatility between believers and non-believers often puts such an overlay of emotion that no reasonable study can be made of the issue.


Anecdotal experience for a believer might make the believer less penetrable to any thesis that opposes his or her understanding.

I'm increasingly becoming an agnostic, neither believer nor unbeliever.

There are two psychological issues that weigh on all of us:

1. Penetrability: The ability to be penetrated by thoughts not previously owned.
How often do you let somebody else tell you something? How often do you maintain the fiction of being the teacher and everyone else is the student?

2. Updating ability: The ability to update your life, get out of the rut. Not listening to the same music you heard in your 20s. This point has a collorary: That action must precipitate analysis. Action must come first. Thinking is the luxury resulting from that action --- an action that makes you look at everything differently. This is the idea that good change only comes by doing everything in reverse: You don't wait for the feeling to want to do something. You do it first then the feeling follows. Everything is reverse. If we had to wait until we wanted to, it might never get done, it might never happen. Analysis Paralysis.


This thread may be about marijuana, dog.

but....

It appears this issue like every other issue runs its well worn pathways....

Hey JimMoyer - the state of marriage bodes you well in the art of writing!

I am an inbetween believer, non believer - what I dislike is the advertising which accompanies medicine.

I can only make judgments based upon what I know to be fact within my own realm of observance and as it pertains to my own family and my own experience.

My mother would have lost at least twenty years of excellent living without insulin keeping her diabetes in check along with the strict dietary necessaries.... my nephew would be in screaming pain without the prescribed cannabis (or whatever the medics call it)... I could not lead a busy life without the prescribed medication for my damaged lungs.

Medicine has many laws and godfathers governing its popularity, use and availability to the public. All we can do is our own research and make our own informed common sense decisions and even then rely on the doctors to use theirs.

I am grateful we have come so far in research and what is giving mankind prolonged life, comfort from pain, and good health which we do our best to ignore in our lives of luxury in what we eat and lack of exercise.

You may be a little too deep for me BUT to sum up my philosophy, I think the people who survive best in life are those who can make adjustments. It's bloody hard for an old codger at my age, but I am cognizant of the necessity of doing so and try in every small way I can. We get set in routines and routines don't stay interesting forever. (Except for having my early morning coffee while stirring up sh*t on the forum :lol::lol::lol

Hey Curiosity !!! (Wednesday's Child, salud !!!)

Nine years together might be short, but she still keeps surprising me. Most of us have an inventory of tricks that last only so long.

Your post makes me revisit all the truths on this issue here.

There's a chapter in Moby Dick, where Ahab posts a doubloon for the first dude to sight the great white. Each one comes up to the mast where this doubloon is posted and has a revery on what that doubloon means to them, like its a rhorschack inkblot test.

What's the truth about Mary Jane?

This thread looked at each angle, except for the one on schizo, which for the sake of completeness I thought should not be ignored.

There's no doubt this stuff has helped those in pain. What makes me an agnostic is simply because I quite tobacco July 06. I know all the rationalizations I made just to smoke a cigarette. I suspect self convenience and self rationalization prevails likewise with any desire to take away the build up of mental stress. I suspect the self convenience of enduring habits.

Dearest JimMoyer

Congratulations for your nine years to date commitment ... no doubt you and your wife have been willing partners in your success.

Makes the quixotic life we humans experience all worthwhile, sharing it with one we love.

Yeah, a little bit it is.

No, I'm just pulling your leg. In Toronto there is a by complaint policy that is unwritten yet well established. If you're not being a problem then no one has a reason to make a complaint to the police. The police in turn won't bother with people who are going about their business and may have a joint or two to smoke in a cafe patio or the like.

There are a few places I enjoy going to for a nice coffee, get buzzed and go for lunch or do some shopping. Sometimes I just hang out with friends and enjoy the music and atmosphere that is always present when people responsibly enjoy some pot.

Like the bar in that people are having a good time, but not like a bar in that everyone is friendly and quite pleasant to others.

You would love it man.

Hello Jim, nice to see your still in the RW and happy to boot from what I read.
How is your endocannibinoid system today? You are a member of one of only three sources of endocannibinoids on this planet (earth. The other two being pharmasueticle synthetics and the hemp plant. One has to bear in mind that normal means you are always under the influence of cannibinoids. Thier job is to harmonize and balance the rest of the organism. It is a fact that life on this planet would be impossible without cannibinoids.
Framed as a contemporary polar pop issue the subject has wings and wind but when you get down to the nuts and bolts there is no choice.
How's fishing? My knee is shot again, I'm buying two-hundred trout for the pond.

 

[jimmoyer]

Ahoy Darkbeaver.

I've lost my Darkbeaver Glossary 2nd edition, so I'm forced to look up what other people think those words "cannibinoid" and "endocannibinoid" mean.

I'm trying to find our video of a cutoff pike's head rolling its eyes while it clamps down on a doobie. But that's not half as exciting as seeing bluegill sunnies off the side of the dock spitting out long pieces of sphagetti we dumped off the dock into the water because someone spilled a whole box of salt into the pot.

Stocking the pond? That's nirvana. Wish I were there. Hope that takes your mind off the knee troubles.
