who here smokes marijuana?

[myleftfoot]

I just dont see any way for marijuana to be legal. Not that its wrong, it just wont happen. Personally i havent smoked anything in my life and never will. I would however love to see smoking tabacco even outdoors to be illegal, its just terribly annoying to be walking by outdoors and have to pass thru the smoke. Make it only legal to be smoked at your home. Yeah that day ill be trully happy.

Yeah, I know what you mean. That .5 - 1 second blast of smoke every other day haunts my dreams aswell.

I don't see the reason why people smoke cigs.

Relaxation that doesn't affect basic motor skills.

"Shotgunning" is when one person inhales smoke and then exhales it into another person's mouth so two people can get high off of one hit. Usually when it's done between a male and a female they "kiss" to do it.

Hmm, around here, when we shotgun, we get some chick to blow on the burning end of the smokable (like in her mouth blow, not just push some air towards it) while whoevers smokin it gets a healthy dose of whatever they were smoking.

Or taking a propane torch to the coals in the hooka.

Well then I guess I only speak for my area (St. Louis).

It is beyond me how anyone could do that to themselves. Ya know, getting high. Smoking marijuana is about like asking someone to physically harm you.

Hmm... I do not get it. Do you mean that when i smoke a joint and i wack you on the head a couple times with a piece of wood, we would feel the same thing?

 

[oscarmk1]

If that were done then I'd like to see automobiles with internal combustion engines illegal. It's terribly annoying to inhale and smell and worst of the exhausts.

I dont see why not, but hey one step at a time

I take it you're in prime shape, never eat anything unhealthy nor imbibe any kind of alcohol or any other thing that could possibly be bad for you? Live in a city? Drink enough water? DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT YOURSELF????

Yay hypocracy!

people like you complaining are worse than the smoke. You put us out there. Now you whine about it. It's whiners like you that made me quit. You should encourage smoking. Smokers pay more taxes and collect less social security. We're true patriots. you're just a whining ninny. that's right, I called you a ninny. PPPPBBBBTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

:soapbox:

Actually, don't smokers wind up taking more out of healthcare than they contribute via all those extra taxes? Otherwise I'd wonder why the government would run all those quit campaigns at great expense.

Ah yes, the quit campaigns, they put it up the billboard, stop smoking! But we never do, we like to choose for ourselfs. And we are hooked anyway, addicts, nothing the governement says will influence us, i mean that's even before we are addicted so what makes them think that spending god knows how many millions of €'s is going to make us stop.

If you want to quit smoking you should get your priority's right, quit because the governement tells us so? Nah...

Quit to live longer? Well if i get to be 70 with smoking, lets say i get to be 80 when i guit now. That's ten years longer i can sit infront of the window to look outside. That doesnt attrackt me really.

Than they go like, think about the costs, smoking is highly taxed, expensive!

As if when i live ten years longer i will save money, Try adding it up, ten years of paying rent, food and taxes, that will be a lot more money than the cost of a pack of tobaco.

10 years longer to play with grandkids, be with your wife, etc. etc.

Yes, ten years of additional living costs, which made me want to play with a couple of formulas:

Assume smokes cost around $10 (cdn) a pack, and you smoke a pack a day. Quitting would save you $3,650 per year. Invest that at a modest rate of 2% (and I'm only compounding this annually, monthly would make a significant difference), and that would amount to $204,819.53 in 38 years (I'm currently 32). You would then have that sum to finance your additional 10 year life span for quitting. Again using the 2% rate of return, you would be able to have $22,801.85 to cover your rent, food and taxes. Pretty sure that by the time I'm 70 I will no longer be supporting my kids or paying on a mortgage. Not that that is an extravagant lifestyle, but I'm pretty sure I'd be able to get by on that.

Edit: damn, I didn't account for the taxes on that.

Edit 2: meh, had to see the difference if it were compounded monthly, would amount to only $2,669. Oh well. Damn 2%.

Ah, you think you have got it all figured out eh?

However, there are several thing you did not take into account, the older you get the more you'll need to see the doctor just to say one thing, more sickness = more medication = more money!

You'll not be paying mortgage anymore, that could well be true. But than again, your house in 38 years will be needing a new roof and or other thing in maintenance = money!

Kids and grandkids?

Hey dad, we need to get some money to buy a house now that we have 5 kids, you know i am unemployed so i do not have much, so can you lend us the money?

One year later. The wife leave's you and rides into the sunset on the back of the bike of a hells angel, you think briefly about beating him up but you discard the idea quickly when he looks at you. (And it's a very nice bike, you cant blame her actually), leaving you with 5 kids ofwich only 2 have your resemblanse, bank forecloses on a dream.

Grandad: Huh... what? Where's my money?

Son: Dont worrie dad, i'll get your money. How? Huh...

Oh yeah, dad? Can you watch the kids tonight? Supporting 5 kids and a lazy son = money.

Trust me, you are better off smoking.:laugh:

I hate smokers, lil' ignorant fools taking years off my life by poisoning my lungs. I have a perfect idea of what to do to one; Get up close to one and push his cig down his throat as he is smoking on it. How stupid must you be to smoke, there are no benefeits from breaking down your body, yellowing your teeth, yellowing your apartment/house walls and getting a long-time addiction.

Come do that to me my young friend, i'll show you i have some perfect idea's aswell.:thumbsup:

 

[Punkonjunk]

OK this is seriously too long an arguement to read.

Heres my jhizm. I do not smoke teh mary J. I never have, and never will. 66% sXe. No drinking, no smoking. However, as long as one doesn't try to get me on, it doesn't bug me too much. Except those really annoying stoned kids, but you know, they're annoying to start out with, most of the time.
However.. with legalization, we have taxing, and restrictions. Over the legal "high" and your *** is grass. (ha, PUN!!!111) Legal limits, designated smoke sites, (like Ju wanna bars) and rules. Lots of rules, lots of taxes. Law enforcement devolopements to enforce it, and enforce it well. Viola, the man keeps the smokers down. There might be more, but they'll all be regulated. I think it would work.

Go read my last post. Change the direction to point at you and repeat. You're a hypocrit. Don't like it? Stay out of the smoke. Problem solved.

Hooray for violence against people participating in a free choice of what to do with their bodies! You're MUCH better than a smoker minding his own business! Hey, I got a great place for you to visit. It's called Pakistan.

How stupid must you be to advocate violence against those who make personal choices because you're not smart enough to think of other solutions.

Wake up. Holy crap.

Apparently the nicotine you've been breathing in hasn't had a calming effect on you.

Jeez man. It's not as if it is everywhere you go now, with smoking being banned in most public places.

Plus, the chemicals that are in the air from all the other crap that we do (cars, refineries, industry in general) to pollute the environment aren't exactly making you last any longer either.

Not really that simple. Smoking laws should be changed. Appleton, wisconsin, instilled a public smoking ban, and it's a godsend.

A smoking section in a resturaunt is like having a pissing section in a pool. Until I can pee in you're ground water, man....

We have to smell it. He's being a prick about it, but he's pretty right. That stuff adds to whats already killing all of us, and we'd rather not smell it. Just keep it to yourself. Thats not that hard.

It's illegal here to smoke in public places like restaurants. I don't see why it's so hard to stay out of it then. How am I supposed to keep it to myself? It's not like I can control the smoke. Until I see someone give up all the habits they do every day that contribute to bad health I won't feel sorry for them.

The municipal government is now talking about banning smoking in public parks. Yay! Now little part time lunatics want to control smokers in large open-air as well! Why not just make this whole thing illegal and get it done with? Then hit alcohol, caffeine and sex. That'll give you a good running start to when you want to ban having a cold in public.
