| I'm not talking about smoking pot WHILE driving.... drinking and driving doesn't actually involve drinking while driving....
it really should just be called drunk driving 
anyways... smoking while driving is a bad idea as well.... should it be illegal.... probably not since you can smoke and have both hands on the wheel over 90% of the time.... oh, and you mentioned pot causes paranoia... do you honestly think that will help people drive better? I disagree... I think it would make them worse. Paranoid/overly-cautious drivers are just as dangerous as people who are over-aggressive on the road. |

| If you're paranoid, you're careful, careful people will keep more distance between themselves and other cars and won't take as much risks. I'm paranoid when it comes to driving.
Alcohol also passes through the system MUCH slower than pot would. Most people that are going to go out and drive with pot in their system, will be smoking pot at the same time. |

| I've never heard of a car crash pot related incident.
However I've heard "Little Cindy was riding her bike down the street and a drunk driver hit her"... thousands of times. Two girls from my school were hit by a drunk driver just about a month ago. |

| I've not heard of any pot-related accidents either; but I still think it's generally prudent not to drive if you are under the influence / impaired.
Taken a bunch of antihistamines that make you very drowsy? Don't drive. Taken a bunch of painkillers that mess with your head? Don't drive. Stayed up for several days straight with either no or almost no sleep? Don't drive. Smoked a bong / eaten some "cookies"? Don't drive. Drunk half a carton of Cooper's Pale Ale? Don't drive. Smoked an imperial shitload of Ice? Don't fkn drive! I don't particularly care that the weed would make you more "paranoid" or whatever -- I know from my experiences that it likely WOULD result in me becoming a more paranoid driver. However, where I think I'd become impaired is that I might forget to check my mirrors enough -- or become overparanoid and check them too much; either way impairing my ability to know what is around me well. Course, people DO do these things, and that's why it's illegal. You can get in trouble with the police (around here) for driving impaired even if you haven't touched a drop of alcohol or inhaled the tiniest bit of THC. (edited by Tarale on 04-04-06 08:52 PM) |

| Now, this is why you need to learn some life lessons. If you are 14 and smoking weed, you're a moron. You're young, enjoy the high that life gives you. Enjoy mental awareness and no stress. You have another 2-4 years before you have to deal with stress.
You have no reason to be smoking weed, just like you have no reason to be doing ciggerettes, or alcohol. By the way, you don't take the fall for that, your parents do. |

| Two months is hardly a bump in this forum. You also shouldn't act like a mod, just like I'm doing, say something relevant or don't say anything at all?
I guess I should've added this into my last post, but it slipped my mind. The younger you are, the easier it is for you to get addicted to something, the harder it will also be to justify not doing it. If you've grown up with something, you won't see anything wrong with it until someone can prove something is wrong with it, but they don't just have to prove it, they have to prove it in your eyes, your already biased eyes. Please, wait until you're an adult already, wait until you have a steady income with little to no debt, if you want to smoke, smoke responsibly, after you learn responsibility. It isn't a cool thing to do, it is a moronic thing to do even if it doesn't hurt you. The only thing we as humans have is our intelligents and perception of the world. Altering them just to get high is a stupid thing. Over all, is it harmful? Possibly depending on who your source is. Is it smart? No. Is it stupid? Not when you're older, although it isn't smart even then. |

I mainly take issue with two parts. Namely:
Originally posted by Cjuarez2 Originally posted by Cjuarez2 For one, the feeling of "I'm invulnerable until I'm 18" is... reckless, to say the least. And I don't really appreciate the notion of skipping school out of boredom, since it's easy to justify more and more reasons for that, which is a vaguely dangerous path to go on. |

| Boy, this thread keeps going on, eh? Still, it wasn't that far down the page, right? Uh, since a good discussion has started back up (just like last time), let's just keep it open. Eventually, though, I'll probably kick this over to the Display Case, but for now, let's see what we can do with this. And yes, please stop with acting like mods.
Cjuarez2, Hmm, well, I think that ultimately it's your choice whether to keep using marijuana. I disagree with the governmetn taking it on itself to punish people for making that choice, so I don't activate chucking you in jail or anything. You are so young, still, and the marijuana could have detrimental effects on your develeopment, so please be cautious. (edited by beneficii on 06-06-06 12:37 PM) |

| There's a slight difference between doing things like that for a reason and doing it "Because I'm not 18 yet so I'm going to have as much fun as I can before I am". That's just being reckless, ESPECIALLY when it's considered a way to solve boredom. | |||

Originally posted by Vyper So yeah, let's list the reasons of why your situation is completely different. 1) You're getting it from a doctor. (I hope.) 2) You're doing it legally. (I hope.) 3) You have a reason. 4) It infact helps you and you won't get in a shitton of trouble. 5) Your job doesn't hinge on it if you're doing it. 6) Your parents probably do it with you. If you're doing it illegally... well... I'm going to say there are other alternatives for doing it for a reason. 1) THC pills. 2) If you have no clue who's growing it, you might end up getting pot laced with shit. That's one of the problems, pot itself isn't very dangerous, but whoever is giving it to you might be. 3) Unless it is a neccessity, you're just using it as a crutch. If you're a gimp, maybe the crutch is nice for you, maybe you need it, but if you aren't, you're just wasting your money. |

Originally posted by CroxadonOriginally posted by Vyper No it's not legal. I'm not one of the 8 (or something like that) people that the US government gets high. I don't live in Denver, either. And THC pills suck ass. The high you get from smoking is WAY better. And dude, do you actually think I'm dumb enough to get it from someone I don't know? A crutch? No. It's medicine, although it is fun for recreation, too
Let me take a guess on something. You've never smoked pot before, have you? |

| No, I'm a crazy ass bastard as it is. Give me anything and I might kill everyone in the room with me.
I've grown up around it though, I know that it doesn't do much, but people tend to use it as a crutch instead of solve their problems. They also get aggitated when they get to used to it and then can't smoke it even for a day. |

| It is funny. I was sitting around bored as all hell and thought "shit, I wonder what is happening to my old forum? Have I ruined beneficii, the poor guy?". I came back and looked and thought "holy shit, people have posted in this thread". Now, you'll all see that I've a wealth of life experiences relating to drugs. More than nearly everyone else at this board.
First isse - marijuana as an aggressive agent as stipulated in the last post. Bull. Shit. I've been around stoners for the past 8 years, consistently. I've been one, off and on, for nearly as long. Plain and simple. None of my many, many, many experiences lend creedence to this. Marijuana depresses people will to do things. Very rarely will a person who is on marijuana be willing to do anything beyond what they need to do. Second issue - you're not a crazy bastard. You're from Kansas. The only crazy bastards from Kansas are the band by that name. Grow the fuck up. Third issue - crutchijuana. You know how many time I've heard this argument? More times than you. It takes a fucking weak-willed moronic person to become dependant on a non-addictive agent. In fact, I know a lot of weak-willed moronic people. None of them are addicted to pot. This is a lie perpetuated by other weak-willed moronic people that could smoke pot, not get addicted, but are too moronic to see through the haze of lies surrounding the substance. In addition they don't even have the spine to go out and look at other research sources. Back in the day when I gave two flying craps about marijuana I waded through more than a thousand pages of documents a month on it. I still have many printoffs and excerpts from books on the topic. You know what I learned? That the drug needs to be studied more from a policy angle rather than conservative moralistic bullshit angles or libertarian "do what you want" angles. In addition, the medical research is starting to pile up. Like how marijuana is actually helpful in treating cancer. That it doesn't have any real carcinogenic properties. Things like that. Croxadon's little "I'm going to cry list" is another issue I have with this. 1) Vyper asserts this as well as 2). Mostly because of lame-ass American moralistic bullshit policy regarding drugs. 3) no one really has a reason. There are other treatments that they can take. 4) sure he will. If you looked at your own questions with the (I hope). affixed to them then you'd realize that he can get into a fuckton of trouble via the legal system. 5) if your job hinges on you not doing drugs than that is a lame as fuck job. I had to do a drug test at the factory I was applying to. I drink every night, not going to lie. I have a glass of redwine and a beer or two. They questioned why I have alcohol in my bloodstream and I explained to them that this, like pretty much all things drink related, is customary in my family. 6) who actually smokes it with their parents? I've caught my dad doing it. I've smoked it with my friend's parents. You know, things like that. THC pills...What is the point of that? It is for becoming hungry. Lacing pot? If you see little razor blades, tiny blue rocks, or a thin white powder over it...it is like Halloween time. I don't suggest you smoke it. It is pretty fucking hard to lace pot and actually get someone who knows what they're doing to smoke it. Wasting money? Why the fuck are you wasting time on the internet!? Don't criticize people for completely stupid points! And Croxadon, I checked your profile. You're 16. Why the hell are you lecturing people? You don't know anything about the drug, obviously. And what is more...you're 16! That's an even more annoying age than any other age! You know why? Because you make dunder-headed statements. Feel invincible and assume that you're always right. Grow up a little bit and gain some real world experiences and then maybe...MAYBE...you'll be worthy of having an opinion to be taken seriously. |

| Better idea.
Ziff, you're a responsible dude, you've looked up everything there is to pot and you can make a very well, educated, argument that pot isn't bad and blah blah blah. It's boring. We know pot isn't bad. I know pot isn't bad. That isn't the point of anything I've been saying. I'm saying people are morons. They do stupid things. They're young and they think they're invincible. (Nice assumption by the way, you really caught me dead on, I mean, I'm totally that one kid that does reckless things.) I'm also saying a fourteen year old isn't responsible enough or educated enough to make a choice like that. I don't think a sixteen year old is either. Now, if they are educated like you and have spent a lot of time reading about pot and everything about it and can tell me the structure and shoot off a bunch of facts about it and blah blah blah. Then I apologize, it is wrong for me to assume they aren't responsible adults who know the limits of everything around them and all the possibilities they have. But hey, who am I to give a life lesson, I'm a sixteen year old, right? I mean, I'm certainly unable to see what goes on in life and what people do and make judgements (although not completely reasonable and probably a little to quick tempered) about the world around me.

| I don't condone it. I've never done it. I think I never will. I wouldn't stop you from doing it unless you are someone close to me and I knew you had the habit.
I wouldn't mind if they made it legal so long as it's controlled somewhat. Media piracy is a felony but...come on. Who here is innocent of that? |

| For all of you marijuana-lovers, just go to the Netherlands, it's legal there, in case you didn't know, and smoke lots of it so you die faster and we will have less junkies on this planet. |
