Sure, ALL the pot smokers will wind up alone because everybody KNOWS woman don’t smoke pot. Of course according the moral majority crowd posting here everyone who smokes pot is a burn out, there are no doctors, lawyers, or scientists that smoke it. Personally I want the government in my life as little as possible, so do me a favor and FUCK OFF!!!!

You can check out the NORML website in the United States and simple pot possession ranges from a simple ticket to Jail time and hefty fines.

Don’t take my word for it go check it out.

It varies from one state to the next.

United States is not Canada

I used to heavily smoke weed and drunk like a fucking fish and i don’t even want to remember all of the other drugs i did.

I don’t remember being sober for almost fucking 25 years.

But I quess people don’t want to hear how drug abuse has ruined more lives broke more marriages and broken up more families .
I just can’t see a married woman living with a drug addict or alcoholic.
Same thing goes for a married man living with woman who is a drug addict or alcoholic.

I quess most of the respondents are a bunch of men in denial about their drug addictions.
Any married women out there would like to make a comment about their worthless drug addicted husbands?

most women are smart.
Too much spousal abuse out there by drug addicted husbands.
Would any self respecting woman have a drug addicted spouse around her kids ?
Buying pot costs money and i have met guys who would rather buy beer and weed rather than buying their kids diapers and milk.

Their drug addict husbands will still be smarting when the wife gets a divorce and the husband has to pay child support and the fool of a ex husband has a big hole in his ass where his wallet used to be and when he don’t pay the child support to pay for his drug habits he gets thrown in jail.

It adds insult to injury when the ex wife will get a restraining order againest her husband and won’t be able to see his own kids because he is a drug addict and a bad influence and the wife don’t want her ex dumbass drug addict husband around her kids.

Just like George Throughgood used to say ” i done let the deal go down and now i am in the dog house and move it on rover a hotdog is moving in “.

You’ll end up being an old troll in your fifties or sixties AND ALL ALONE.

So where are YOU from ?

Yeah, saw that in “Porky’s” 30 years ago. LOL

However YOU look to be more in the minority and most out of touch with reality.

Some municipalities where I live have stopped even writing fines if you are carrying less than a 1/2 oz. They’ve switched their focus completely from users to dealers.

Personally, I hope it never gets legalized. Right now $120 dollars worth of cigarettes lasts about 2 weeks (only 2 years ago it was $60), but $120 worth of pot lasts me 2 months. In nearly 30 yrs I’ve never even had a ticket for pot, but paid through the ass for cigarettes. I’ll take the street prices over regulation any day:)

Pot possession is still a misdemeanor in most states in America and technically if arrested it could land you in jail and a hefty fine.
Places like Texas Alabama and most of the south comes to mind. The State of Kansas is not too cool either.
Kind of iffy in New York state new jersey pennslvania and virginia and Florida.

The bottom line is that some of you will be telling the arresting officer what an idiot he is when he pulls over your car smells the pot in it
pulls a gun on you, he orders you out of your car, you get handcuffed, the arresting officer confiscates your stash and rips your car apart in the process and it’s throughly trashed AND QUESS WHERE YOU GOING ?
You people must have heard of the busted rear taillight routine

I hear the good ole’ boy sheriff deputies down south don’t like dopers….
Have any of you ever heard of flashlight therapy or the night stick correctional attitude changer ?
Police brutality
Oh my god………….

Well I’m in my fifties I have smoked weed since I was 18 I have had a succsessful career and a raised a family and have done quite well for myself.So don’t fed me any of your anti-pot propaganda bullshit. It don’t fly and you know it.

Looks like someone’s watched “Reefer Madness” one to many times and actually believed it to be factual;)

Typically a morally bankrupt miserable sort.
Drug addicts are in the MINORITY.
I don’t have anything good to say about tobbaco or alcohol addiction either.

Can any of you lost drug addicts see yourself doing this stuff when you are in your fifties sixties or seventies ?

That is if you live that long………………
when people look at your epitaph at your headstone in the local graveyard it will say ” here lies the fool “.

It is stereotypical about a old drug addicted troll who could not even get laid unless he resorted to prostitutes or pedophilia or homosexuality with underage boys.

Being young is compared to arrogance and stupidity and most drug addicts would not change their behavior even if it meant a lengthy prison sentence for committing a henious crime under the influence of drugs for something you may or may not got framed for or DEATH knocking on their door and staring DEATH (GRIM REAPER) in the face.

Doing drugs is making a pact with the DEVIL.

I used to work with an idiot like you, claimed he was constantly in control of himself
because he didnt smoke dope. His exlposive outbursts were lengendary!!

So whos normally adjusted??

10 THINGS EVERY PARENT, TEENAGER & TEACHER
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MARIJUANA

1. What is Marijuana?

“Marijuana” refers to dried flowers and leaves of some strains of the
cannabis hemp plant (1), which contain various quantities of the
non-narcotic chemical THC in various quantities. When smoked or
eaten, it produces the feeling of being “high,” which lasts a few hours.
Different strains of this herb produce their own sensual effects, ranging
from sedative to stimulant.

2. Who Uses Marijuana?

There is no simple profile of a typical marijuana user. It’s been used
for thousands of years for medical, social and religious reasons as well
as for relaxation (2). Several of our Presidents farmed hemp (3), and
some are believed to have smoked it. One out of every five Americans
in all walks of life say they have tried it, and it is still very popular.

3. How Long Have People Been Using Marijuana?

Since Biblical times (4). This practice was widely accepted in America, (5)
as well, until the orchestrated campaign of the 1930s led to disinformation, (6)
public hysteria, and the first American laws against using it. (7)

4. Is Marijuana Addictive?

No, it is not. (8) Most users are moderate consumers who only smoke
it socially or occasionally to relax. We now know that 10% of our
population have “addictive personalities,” and they are no more nor less
likely to abuse cannabis than anything else. On a relative scale, marijuana
is less habit-forming than either sugar or chocolate. Sociologists report a
general pattern of marijuana usage that peaks in the early adult years,
followed by a period of levelling off, and finally a gradual reduction in use. (9)

5. Has Anyone Ever Died From Smoking Marijuana?

No; not even once. (10) Judge Francis Young studied all the evidence in
1988, and ruled that “marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly
consume.” The federal agency NIDA says that autopsies show 75 people per
year are high on marijuana when they die, but this does not mean marijuana
is a factor in any of their deaths. This chart shows the number of deaths from
selected substances in a typical year:

Tobacco …………………………………………………………………….. 340,000-395,000
Alcohol (excluding crime/accidents) ………………………………………….. 125,000 +
Drug Overdose (prescription) …………………………………………….. 14,000-27,000
Drug Overdose (illegal) ………………………………………………………… 3,800-5,200
Marijuana ………………………………………………………………………………………….. 0

*Source: U.S. government Bureau of Mortality Statistics, 1987.

6. Does It Lead to Hard Drugs?

No. (11) Although people who abuse drugs often smoke marijuana also, the National
Academy of Science reports that “Legal drugs for adults, such as alcohol and tobacco,
… precede the use of all illicit drugs.” Tobacco is known as “the gateway drug.”

7. Does It Cause Violence?

No, just the opposite. (12) The only crime most marijuana users commit is using
marijuana. The U.S. Shafer Commission (13) report was the most comprehensive
study ever undertaken on the subject. It found that marijuana smokers “tend to be
under-represented” in violence and in crime, “especially when compared to users of
alcohol, amphetamines and barbiturates.” The simple fact is that marijuana does not
change your basic personality. The federal government reports that over 70 million
Americans have smoked it … probably including some of the nicest people you know.

8. How Does Marijuana Affect Your Health?

A Harvard University medical team in 1987 found that “dangerous physical reactions
to marijuana are almost unknown.” All smoke is unhealthy, but marijuana is safer
than tobacco, and people tend to smoke less of it. That risk can be eliminated by
eating the plant instead of smoking it (14) or it can be reduced by using water pipes to
smoke smaller amounts of more potent marijuana. Moreover, cannabis is a proven
medicinal herb with hundreds of modern therapeutic uses in treating ailments from
stress to arthritis to glaucoma to asthma to cancer therapy, to AIDS, and more. (15)

9. What About All Those Scary Stories and Reports?

Most sensational claims of health risks cite no studies or sources at all. Others rely
on a handful of inconclusive or flawed reports. (16) After 20 years study, the
California Attorney General’s panel (17) concluded in 1989 that “an objective
consideration shows that marijuana is responsible for less damage to the
individual and society than alcohol and cigarettes.”

10. What Should We Do?

American taxpayers have funded many studies on this very point, and every
independent government panel on marijuana has opposed the jailing of marijuana
smokers. (18) Most have urged lawmakers to re-legalize and tax use of this herb
by responsible adults, with age limits and regulations like those on alcohol and
tobacco. Tell your elected leaders to free up our police and resources to combat
violent crime and to honor our national pledge and comniittment to “liberty and
justice for all” by ending marijuana prohibition.

damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself.”

Message to Congress

FOOTNOTES TO THE TEXT:

1. Researchers count about 50,000 non-smoking commercial uses for
cannabis hemp; in paper, textiles, fuels, food, medicine, sealants,
etc. But even the pharmacologically inert strains and uses of hemp
are now outlawed. Sources: Encyclopaedia Brittanica, US Dept. of
Agriculture; Herer, Jack, The Emperor Wears No Clothes.

2. In the Bible, God told man to use “all the seed bearing herbs” and
did not exclude the hemp / marijuana plant. (Genesis 1:12). Coptic
Christians, Rastafarians, Shintos, Hindus, Buddhists, Essenes,
Sufis, Zoroastrians, Bantus and many other sects have traditions that
consider the plant to have religious value.

3. America was founded by hemp farmers. 1975 President of the American
Historical Reference Society and consultant for the Smithsonian Institute,
Dr. Burke, counts the following seven U.S. presidents as cannabis
smokers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James
Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor and Franklin Pierce, as well as
Ben Franklin. ‘Father of Our Country” George Washington once recorded
his preference for female plants and mentioned a “curious” preparation
(5-26-1974 letter), possibly hashish, made from the resins of hemp
flowers. After Abe Lincoln’s assassination, his wife was prescribed
hashish for her nerves. John F. Kennedy was known to smoke marijuana
for his back pain and to favor legalization. (Washington farm journals,
Jefferson diaries, national archives, etc.)

4. Archeologists report that cannabis was probably the first plant cultivated
by humans — about 8,000 B.C. (Columbia University, History of the
World.) It was used for linen, paper and garments. It was being smoked in
China and India by 2700 B.C. (US Dept. of Agriculture Yearbook, 1913.)

5. Turkish smoking parlors, a tradition in the Middle and Far East, were
popular in Europe and America as recently as the turn of the Century.

6. Forty years earlier, the exhaustive British “Raj” Indian Hemp Commis-
sion (1896) study of ‘gunjah’ smokers found no cause to restrict its use.

7. Notorious yellow journalist William Randolph Hearst fabricated and
published horror stories about marijuana. His lies were eventually
exposed, but not until long after marijuana prohibition was enacted in
1938. (Sloman, Larry, Reefer Madness.) The law against ‘marijuana’ was
passed a year after the invention of.a machine to process hemp that could
compete commercially against businesses owned by Hearst, DuPont and
other powerful families. (Herer, Jack, The Emperor Wears No Clotbes.)

The FBI reports that 65-75% of criminal violence is alcohol related.

12. Federal Bureau of Narcotics chief Harry Anslinger told Congress in
1948 that marijuana causes pacifism, but the “Siler Commission” study
conducted by the U.S. in Panama (1931) had already reported “no impair-
ment’ in personnel who smoked marijuana during off-duty hours.

14. “The only clinically significant medical problem that is scientifically
linked to marijuana is bronchitis. Like smoking tobacco, the treatment is
the same: stop smoking.” (Dr. Fred Oerther, M.D., 1991.)

15. Traditional uses source: Dr. Tod Mikuriya, Marijuana: Medical
Papers. Marijuana could replace at least 10-20% of prescription drugs
now in use. Source: Dr. Raphael Mechoulam. Marijuana was a major
active ingredient in 40-50% of patent medicines before its ban.

of marijuana causes permanent changes in the nervous system or
sustained impairment of brain function and behavior in human beings.”
