Having watched quite a number of these AE segments now, I have to wonder just how many pious nutjobs surround us at any given time. Seriously, how much of the human race is certifiably insane?
As an atheist, I love your show and agree with almost everything you say.
However, I would never equate marijuana with nut jobs.
You know what? When i started smoking weed it constantly inspired me, made me want to learn and watch documentaries, and this is what brought me to atheism. A thirst for understanding science and at that point i found it conflicting with my weak christian beliefs... and this is why i started this channel! a stoned hobby. Too many people buy into the stupid stereotype.
@CircusOfBedlam You "use" marijuana, some people just "take" it. some propel just space out an are useless while under the influence as far as I am aware.
@CircusOfBedlam - "I love your show..." Not quite. The people who do this show don't operate this channel. In fact, they seem a bit embarrassed by it, seeing how they are freethinkers and how the person who operates this channel is so quick to delete comments and ban viewers with dissenting opinions. I got several e-mails from the Atheist Experience in Texas stressing that they have NOTHING... repeat, NOTHING to do with this crappy channel.
@CircusOfBedlam They aren't exactly, but there are those who think if they smoke marijuana they'll instantly become "enlightened", which is nonsense, chemicals alone will not make you 'wise or educated'. There's a massive flock of people, whether we like it or not- who smoke weed, spout out the first thing on google under "new age", and think it alone makes them a sage. It can be a grab at an identity which they may associate with 'wisdom'. That's my two cents over years of seeing this at least.
@CircusOfBedlam Sure it inspired you, but did it enable you to actually go out and learn these things from first hand eperience? No, it kept you on your couch and had you watch, not do.
This kind of call is the real reason to appreciate this show.
Yeah, they have to put up with lame theists calling in with Pascal or kalam for the twelve thousandth time, but at least they can have some fun with those or educate third parties.
But this kind of deadly dull, literal nonsense...I'd piss on the phone and storm out after about two calls like this.
@48mmwatch The bible is based on alot more than the zodiac. I'm not even sure it's based on the zodiac at all, but to say it's only based on the nonsense of the zodiac is just wrong.
They didnt even try and engage in an intellectual converstion with him. I dont like how people just dismiss others when they dont understand where they're coming from. I THINK he was talking about the difference between the physical world and the non physical world and how different people place a different amount of importance on either world.
He was trying to start a discussion but they werent responding.
@MonktE They probably dismissed him as a moron at the same point that I did--that is, when he started the crap about Jews worshipping a day (like others worshipping a holy cow). God tells his followers to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, so the Sabbath is a God-ordered thing. Besides, the Jews don't worship a day any more than Christians do. So, at that point, he proved himself such an idiot that no further intellectual conversation was deserved. They gave him more time than he deserved.
@MonktE How can you have a conversation with someone who makes no sense? Either he could not or did not want to express his thoughts properly and in a understandable fashion, and they did ask him to specify what he was referring to and he either could not or did not. If he can not make what his argument was clearer but has to refer to confusing words and statements then why t that their fault?
A Christian I know decides to get offended when I jokingly call someone "fool" because some verse says not to call someone a fool. It's funny because he only knows that from the English bible and there's Psalm 14:1.
I guess I can't say it doesn't "fuck some people up," not sure exactly what that means though. What would your definition be of what alcohol does to people I'm curious? Either way I can say with a large degree of certainty that the vast majority of people who smoke marijuana do not turn into lunatics or become severely brain damaged if that answers your question at all. We're just normal people I assure you..
Unlike the sativa strains of weed available before 1980, which promoted an etherial, energizing effect with trippy visuals, current indica 'skunks' really do make one feel 'stoned'. The mind-expanding effect seems almost absent. Also, if one claims no impairment, he likely smokes so often as to be chronically so.
Too bad growers seeking profits have allowed sativa strains to become extinct.
and it has been proven that although our WILL is connected to our EGO and the activation of it, it isn't always the case. what about love? thats all chemicals too? give me a break. we are not robots. theres something very real to us that has nothing to do with science. i guess if you can't see it, it's not real eh??? lol.
you know, i understood exactly where this guy was trying to get and keep in mind people that scientists still have not isolated our very being within our brain-they only see chemicals, receptors, glands, and passages for material to be transmitted(neurons). the thing he was trying to talk about but couldnt find the right word is our WILL, scientists still cannot define that. our frontal lobe controls DESIRE(dopamine) but it does not control WILL. very hard to explain.
More likely that Bronze Age Palestinians (or Canaanites) had a god or goddess that was in the form of a Bovine. Baal Hammon was sometimes represented as a bull. Christianity and Judaism can be quite misleading about the practice of idolatry. Polytheistic religions will identify different deities with anthromorphic or animal forms. But they don't "worship" certain animals, nor do they believe that man-made idols are their actual gods.
@gulbirk I agree you will get an effect from smoking marijuana, but nothing like the effect implied here. You are still very aware of reality. The stereotype that smoking weed makes you an idiot is simply not true. This is a show about truth and not just accepting unfounded claims, perhaps this should be extended to other issues as well?
@smokeweedevreda Well its obvious that this guy is doing somethinf else then weed. And weed doesnt cause that much harm itself, its just that you can get addicted to it, and then maybe want something stronger. Weed is often known as the door to the world of drugs.
@gulbirk it's only the doorway to the world of drugs because it's illegal. i do agree with you though, it is addictive. the good thing about that is that there are very few health consequences for it. i know i would never drink the way i smoke. my body would be toast.
@Oldspiceguyshorse pot has to be addictive in one way not because of ingrediants but because it produces a TOLERANCE. very quickly. in me, in you, in everyone. and just because i smoke just about every day doesnt make me weak minded or anything. smoking too much is stupid anyways. your not gonna get stoned anymore. i usually smoke at the end of the day, depending on the responsibilities i have, in the morning too.
@Oldspiceguyshorse It isn't chemically addictive, technically, although you could argue that anything that makes you feel good can be addictive, but it is habitually addictive. I think you should be careful when you say that people who become addicted to any substance are weak minded, even if it isn't a chemical addiction. There are a ton of factors that contribute to addiction, and claiming that someone is just weak minded glosses over the problem and predisposes them to fail at change.
You could argue that anything that releases endorphins is addictive. Its your level of mental tolerance that determines if you can do it responsibly or not.
@smokeweedevreda oh yeah, in my opinion, weed makes you a little more aware. it does me. doesn't make you stupid or tactless by no means. alcohol is responsible for that.
@smokeweedevreda lol i think they were saying it sounds like hes on drugs - which he did. ive smoked a lot of mulch in my time too. and it CAN slow ur mind. maybe not in ur mindset, but it certainly can. tell me, did u know what the hell he was on about? if so please enlighten the rest of us.
@smokeweedevreda I don't think they necessarily implied that everyone who smoked weed believes crazy stuff. It's just that the manner in which the caller was speaking seemed to indicate that he was under the influence of marijuana.
@Emanresu56 This is exactly what I'm disagreeing with. They are proliferating the stereotype that marijuana makes you stupid. No rational and coherent individual smokes weed and suddenly loses the ability to communicate and conceptualize intelligently. There is already a problem with misinformation about drug use. It should not be continued on a show that is supposed to promote truth and reality..
@smokeweedevreda I know some nut jobs. I would say that the nut job is held back without the weed (depending on the person). When they're high, it's like no fear and here comes mr. can't stop my mouth from saying what's on my mind. But yeah, I would agree pot does not actually make you a nut job. I think that maybe it was an attempt to be funny?
@theRedPress lol it's very possible I'm taking it all too seriously, no worries. I do feel like the "stupid stoner" stereotype is detrimental, especially for those adults who are responsible smokers.
@smokeweedevreda Oh yeah dude, I'm with you there. I have friends who smoke even though I don't, and they're all functional, normal people. It's totally acceptable by me. I do have maybe one friend who gets the "stupid stoner" wrap, but he doesn't get that label from being high, just being immature and weird. Haha.
@smokeweedevreda It has different effects for different people, and it is linked to the following. * Trouble remembering things * Slowed reaction time * Difficulty concentrating * Sleepiness * Anxiety * Paranoia (feeling that people are "out to get you") * Altered time perception * Red, bloodshot eyes
@ThatAtheistGuy20 I'm just commenting on the fact that your list looks like it's from an anti-marijuana scare-tactic source as opposed to your own opinion or experience with the substance. Some other effects are euphoria, increased sensory awareness, introspective thinking, stimulated appetite, nausea suppression.. there are positive and negative effects of course. You listed a few possible negative effects and then claimed this proof that it "fucks with your mind."
@smokeweedevreda Yeah i accept that it may have positive effects but the fact remains it is a "mind altering drug" however you look at it good or bad it messes with you. I have never met someone smoking weed who was capable of complex thought, this i think is why they made the comment, because weed makes you dumb.
The best way to sum it up is would you be happy for your child to be chauffeured by someone who was constantly high? i know i wouldn't.
@smokeweedevreda When an idiot smokes marijuana, it can indeed make them a nut job. In fact, stupid AND stoned people--like this guy sounds like--are some of the nuttiest people around. But for normal, same (or semi-rational, anyway) folks do NOT become nut jobs on weed. Just the idiots, like this caller, stoned or not.
@smokeweedevreda ummm, it is just a quick que to say " the guy is on drugs" could of been a picture of any drug for the viewers to get the idea of what they meant...
suprised you didnt understand the intent....the hosts didnt even reference weed one time, they referenced crack...
@MadMAn12gauge Would have had absolutely no problem and never would have commented if it had been a picture of a crack pipe. There is a huge difference between crack and marijuana though obviously, and grouping them together is not accurate by any stretch.
@smokeweedevreda ummm the thing is about Immagry, everyone sees marijuana they automatically get the idea of what the meaning is....you dont need to stick your hand in a toilet and feel the texture, grab and taste the shit to know it is something excreted from a persons ass, and is nasty and smells, you just get the idea from the visual that it is what it is...Drugs in general have that visual...doesnt matter what they flashed in the background, we all get the idea.
@smokeweedevreda Why are you accusing somebody else of not saying anything intelligent? You are the stoner here after all, thats just being hypocrite.
On a side note: this type of stereotyping was the reason for my original comment.. I'm not upset by any means and I can take a joke. The point was I watch this show because it denotes close-minded thinking.. There are quite obviously good, intelligent people who smoke marijuana, and the negative stereotypes associated with the substance can often be very harmful. Not necessary to proliferate these stereotypes. This is all I was saying.
@smokeweedevreda You obviously can't take a joke or you wouldn't be here bitching on Youtube right now. The Atheist Experience show criticizes alot of different groups of people but as soon as they start talking about weed you come in and BAAAAWWWW about them not respecting your lifestyle. Stop whining and man the fuck up.
@Agentbromsnor My "on a side note" was not directed at you sorry, only the first line was. We've already established that you have nothing intelligent to add to this conversation. Nice try I guess? Who else does the Atheist Experience criticize unnecessarily? I comment on many things I agree and disagree with. Does this pose some sort of a problem for you? You seem intent on trying to attack me personally instead of disagreeing with my arguments. Sounds a bit like a Troll. Take your own advice.
@smokeweedevreda I would have to disagree with that statement. There may be good, intelligent people who consume cannabis. I wouldn't think they smoke regularly enough to be called a smoker though, if they do consume cannabis, (I am assuming) it would probably be ingesting it as it is less harmful. Smoking cannabis damages your lungs.
On a side note: When I first read your comment, I thought it said, 'I can take a toke.'
@57worldwide If your only disagreement is on the basis of health, alcohol and tobacco are definitely worse for you than smoking marijuana at comparable rates of use, or at the very least are all comparable to each other. Therefore you must also be making the statement that no tobacco smokers or drinkers are good, intelligent people either? This is obviously inaccurate. We should do our best to be healthy of course, but a "bad habit" doesn't just make you an unintelligent person in general.
@smokeweedevreda That's not what I'm trying to say at all. I'm saying that most people who do consume cannabis and are of high intelligence (as opposed to being above average) won't be smoking as much of it as me (and that means it wouldn't be a 'bad habit').
I have also noticed a grammatical error I made, I should have stated 'they would probably be ingesting it as it is less harmful'.
'I wouldn't think they smoke regularly enough to be called a smoker', rather, a casual/occasional user.
@57worldwide This is what I'm disagreeing with though. For example, off the top of my head, Bertrand Russell smoked a pipe constantly and was undeniably of high intelligence. He was aware it was bad for your health but did it anyway because he enjoyed it so much. Sigmund Freud is famous for getting oral cancer from excessively smoking cigars. He knew it was affecting his health yet continued and eventually died. I do not have an example for marijuana but what makes it any different health wise??
@57worldwide Also where's the line between it being a "bad habit" or not? Do you know what levels are healthy or unhealthy? Is a person who smokes once a week that much more intelligent than someone who smokes every day? I think you are drawing lines that don't exist.
@smokeweedevreda I am not trying to say that cannabis consumption causes stupidity. I am not saying that infrequent cannabis use will make you smarter.
What I am saying is, 'I wouldn't think they smoke regularly enough to be called a smoker...'
I feel there is a misunderstanding here. A person who smokes infrequently (in my own opinion, that's less than once a month) will be damaging their lungs less than the person who smokes every day (like I used to). That is all.
@57worldwide No worries man, maybe I'm not wording my comments well because I do understand what you are saying.
I'm still disagreeing though, there is no level of intelligence where someone chooses only the healthiest options regardless of experience. There are many cases where a person would choose to have a shorter life in return for certain "joys" during that life. I gave an example of some highly intelligent people who made such a decision regarding smoking tobacco, and asked the difference
@smokeweedevreda Difference concerning tobacco, as opposed to cannabis: One is illegal, the acquisition of the product can involve interaction with criminal elements. The other, is worse for your health and is easier to get.
I would also say that, proportionally, many people who are higher up in society (judges, lawyers, doctors) would smoke methamphetamine as opposed to cannabis. I'm not saying 'no highly intelligent people smoke cannabis', they would be less likely to frequently consume.
@57worldwide So then you agree with me as far as the intelligence vs. health aspect then? The illegality is another issue all together. I don't believe the government has the right to tell me I can't do something that harms no one else. I can decide what's good or bad for my own life. But this seems like a separate argument.
Not sure what meth has to do with anything, doesn't have anything to do with marijuana. They are not transferable. Not to mention it is much more illegal/bad for you??
@smokeweedevreda It is far worse, but there are more doctors smoking meth than smoking cannabis. I think some people may skip cannabis because it is illegal, they don't want to partake in the herb as it slows you while you are using it. Anecdote time.
My uncle is a truck driver in Australia. He gets drug tested. He told me that some people he work with use meth, as you can use it on Friday and pass the drug test on Monday. That is one reason people may choose meth over cannabis.
@57worldwide I very much doubt that there are more doctors smoking meth than marijuana. Where did you get this "fact?" And you are getting away from the topic of whether there are good intelligent people who smoke marijuana, which is all I was defending.
@smokeweedevreda I'm assuming the number of doctors who use meth outnumber the number of doctors who use cannabis. The number of doctors doing either would most probably be a small minority.
My reasoning are as follows: long shifts; needing energy; wanting to focus. I'm not saying doctors are using large amounts, but that they may be using. Similar to the way they are known to drink alot of coffee. You might expect doctors to avoid harmful activities, but how healthy is drinking lots of coffee?
@57worldwide So in other words, you just made this up?? Awesome. Must be nice to create your own facts..
And just out of curiosity, how is this proving anything anyway? You started off disagreeing with my statement, saying that good and intelligent people don't smoke marijuana because it is unhealthy and illegal.
Now you're trying to say that they use meth instead, even though it is more unhealthy and more illegal, but you think they would like those affects better??..
@smokeweedevreda I didn't make all of it up - there are people using meth in positions of high responsibility. You are trying to say intelligent people can smoke cannabis - which I don't disagree with. However, I don't think you can say you aren't making it up.
A highly intelligent person is not necessarily a doctor, lawyer, or judge - these are positions of high responsibility.
The point is, the effects of the drug are part of what motivates the use. Philosophers smoking cannabis - possible.
@57worldwide At the most it's just an unintelligent decision as far as you're concerned. Might be very worth it to the person in question though.
Regardless, my statement was more directed at discounting the "stupid stoner" stereotype that anyone who chooses to partake in smoking (or eating or vaporizing) marijuana is therefore automatically unintelligent because they like to get high. Which seems to be a quite widely held belief.
@smokeweedevreda Isn't your sense of reality altered when you're high on marijuana? He did after all say "when you're on crack" and not "if you've ever inhaled at some point in your life". And either way, it's only a joke right? :)
@SwiftsNamesake I cannot speak for others, but I have never experienced an "altered reality" while under the influence of marijuana. Your state of mind is altered in that you feel euphoria etc., but you can still recognize the world around you.
@smokeweedevreda What I meant to say is that your judgement (which depends on your ability to discern fact from fiction, hence the phrasing "sense of reality") might be affected negatively from marijuana use, at least for the duration of the high. In that case, it's effects would be comparable to those of alcohol, which is of course an entirely legal and socially accepted substance, when consumed in moderation...
@smokeweedevreda ...It's not an assertion, by the way; I'm just trying to make up my mind about marijuana legalization. Although it's a controversial issue, the best arguments I've heard from the opposing side could, in my view, be adequately summarised as prejudiced knee-jerk reactions. Unless they can produce anything more substantial (which isn't asking much), legalization is the only justifiable conclusion...
@SwiftsNamesake I have Never been unable to discern fact from fiction while under the influence of marijuana.. But, fair enough, I will not argue with the fact that your judgement might be hindered slightly if you are overly intoxicated.
I maintain that alcohol is much worse in this respect but yes it could be comparable.
If you search how it became illegal, has a lot to do with hemp being more efficient in making paper, canvas, rope etc. as opposed to marijuana affecting society negatively..
I love how you can hear the sound technicians and the managers behind laughing every now and then.
I love this show so much! I live in France, and I'm really thinking about booking a flight for Austin just to give high-fives to all the crew... have to save up first, though XS

@MonktE They probably dismissed him as a moron at the same point that I did--that is, when he started the crap about Jews worshipping a day (like others worshipping a holy cow). God tells his followers to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, so the Sabbath is a God-ordered thing. Besides, the Jews don't worship a day any more than Christians do. So, at that point, he proved himself such an idiot that no further intellectual conversation was deserved. They gave him more time than he deserved.

If he can not make what his argument was clearer but has to refer to confusing words and statements then why t that their fault?

I had no clue what his point was.
Unlike the sativa strains of weed available before 1980, which promoted an etherial, energizing effect with trippy visuals, current indica 'skunks' really do make one feel 'stoned'. The mind-expanding effect seems almost absent. Also, if one claims no impairment, he likely smokes so often as to be chronically so.
Too bad growers seeking profits have allowed sativa strains to become extinct.

More likely that Bronze Age Palestinians (or Canaanites) had a god or goddess that was in the form of a Bovine. Baal Hammon was sometimes represented as a bull. Christianity and Judaism can be quite misleading about the practice of idolatry. Polytheistic religions will identify different deities with anthromorphic or animal forms. But they don't "worship" certain animals, nor do they believe that man-made idols are their actual gods.

@gulbirk it's only the doorway to the world of drugs because it's illegal. i do agree with you though, it is addictive. the good thing about that is that there are very few health consequences for it. i know i would never drink the way i smoke. my body would be toast.

Oldspiceguyshorse 10 months ago
@Oldspiceguyshorse pot has to be addictive in one way not because of ingrediants but because it produces a TOLERANCE. very quickly. in me, in you, in everyone. and just because i smoke just about every day doesnt make me weak minded or anything. smoking too much is stupid anyways. your not gonna get stoned anymore. i usually smoke at the end of the day, depending on the responsibilities i have, in the morning too.
renzokata 10 months ago
@Oldspiceguyshorse It isn't chemically addictive, technically, although you could argue that anything that makes you feel good can be addictive, but it is habitually addictive. I think you should be careful when you say that people who become addicted to any substance are weak minded, even if it isn't a chemical addiction. There are a ton of factors that contribute to addiction, and claiming that someone is just weak minded glosses over the problem and predisposes them to fail at change.

@Emanresu56 This is exactly what I'm disagreeing with. They are proliferating the stereotype that marijuana makes you stupid.

@ThatAtheistGuy20 I'm just commenting on the fact that your list looks like it's from an anti-marijuana scare-tactic source as opposed to your own opinion or experience with the substance. Some other effects are euphoria, increased sensory awareness, introspective thinking, stimulated appetite, nausea suppression.. there are positive and negative effects of course. You listed a few possible negative effects and then claimed this proof that it "fucks with your mind."
smokeweedevreda 9 months ago
@smokeweedevreda Yeah i accept that it may have positive effects but the fact remains it is a "mind altering drug" however you look at it good or bad it messes with you. I have never met someone smoking weed who was capable of complex thought, this i think is why they made the comment, because weed makes you dumb.
The best way to sum it up is would you be happy for your child to be chauffeured by someone who was constantly high? i know i wouldn't.

@smokeweedevreda I would have to disagree with that statement. There may be good, intelligent people who consume cannabis. I wouldn't think they smoke regularly enough to be called a smoker though, if they do consume cannabis, (I am assuming) it would probably be ingesting it as it is less harmful. Smoking cannabis damages your lungs.
On a side note: When I first read your comment, I thought it said, 'I can take a toke.'
I was thinking, 'Me too!'
57worldwide 7 months ago
@57worldwide If your only disagreement is on the basis of health, alcohol and tobacco are definitely worse for you than smoking marijuana at comparable rates of use, or at the very least are all comparable to each other. Therefore you must also be making the statement that no tobacco smokers or drinkers are good, intelligent people either? This is obviously inaccurate. We should do our best to be healthy of course, but a "bad habit" doesn't just make you an unintelligent person in general.
smokeweedevreda 7 months ago
@smokeweedevreda That's not what I'm trying to say at all. I'm saying that most people who do consume cannabis and are of high intelligence (as opposed to being above average) won't be smoking as much of it as me (and that means it wouldn't be a 'bad habit').
I have also noticed a grammatical error I made, I should have stated 'they would probably be ingesting it as it is less harmful'.
'I wouldn't think they smoke regularly enough to be called a smoker', rather, a casual/occasional user.
57worldwide 7 months ago
@57worldwide This is what I'm disagreeing with though. For example, off the top of my head, Bertrand Russell smoked a pipe constantly and was undeniably of high intelligence. He was aware it was bad for your health but did it anyway because he enjoyed it so much. Sigmund Freud is famous for getting oral cancer from excessively smoking cigars. He knew it was affecting his health yet continued and eventually died. I do not have an example for marijuana but what makes it any different health wise??
smokeweedevreda 7 months ago
@57worldwide Also where's the line between it being a "bad habit" or not? Do you know what levels are healthy or unhealthy? Is a person who smokes once a week that much more intelligent than someone who smokes every day? I think you are drawing lines that don't exist.
smokeweedevreda 7 months ago
@smokeweedevreda I am not trying to say that cannabis consumption causes stupidity. I am not saying that infrequent cannabis use will make you smarter.
What I am saying is, 'I wouldn't think they smoke regularly enough to be called a smoker...'
I feel there is a misunderstanding here. A person who smokes infrequently (in my own opinion, that's less than once a month) will be damaging their lungs less than the person who smokes every day (like I used to). That is all.
57worldwide 7 months ago
@57worldwide No worries man, maybe I'm not wording my comments well because I do understand what you are saying.
I'm still disagreeing though, there is no level of intelligence where someone chooses only the healthiest options regardless of experience. There are many cases where a person would choose to have a shorter life in return for certain "joys" during that life. I gave an example of some highly intelligent people who made such a decision regarding smoking tobacco, and asked the difference
smokeweedevreda 7 months ago
@smokeweedevreda Difference concerning tobacco, as opposed to cannabis: One is illegal, the acquisition of the product can involve interaction with criminal elements. The other, is worse for your health and is easier to get.
I would also say that, proportionally, many people who are higher up in society (judges, lawyers, doctors) would smoke methamphetamine as opposed to cannabis. I'm not saying 'no highly intelligent people smoke cannabis', they would be less likely to frequently consume.
57worldwide 7 months ago
@57worldwide So then you agree with me as far as the intelligence vs. health aspect then? The illegality is another issue all together. I don't believe the government has the right to tell me I can't do something that harms no one else. I can decide what's good or bad for my own life. But this seems like a separate argument.
Not sure what meth has to do with anything, doesn't have anything to do with marijuana. They are not transferable. Not to mention it is much more illegal/bad for you??
smokeweedevreda 7 months ago
@smokeweedevreda It is far worse, but there are more doctors smoking meth than smoking cannabis. I think some people may skip cannabis because it is illegal, they don't want to partake in the herb as it slows you while you are using it. Anecdote time.
My uncle is a truck driver in Australia. He gets drug tested. He told me that some people he work with use meth, as you can use it on Friday and pass the drug test on Monday. That is one reason people may choose meth over cannabis.
57worldwide 7 months ago
@57worldwide I very much doubt that there are more doctors smoking meth than marijuana. Where did you get this "fact?" And you are getting away from the topic of whether there are good intelligent people who smoke marijuana, which is all I was defending.
smokeweedevreda 7 months ago
@smokeweedevreda I'm assuming the number of doctors who use meth outnumber the number of doctors who use cannabis. The number of doctors doing either would most probably be a small minority.
My reasoning are as follows: long shifts; needing energy; wanting to focus. I'm not saying doctors are using large amounts, but that they may be using. Similar to the way they are known to drink alot of coffee. You might expect doctors to avoid harmful activities, but how healthy is drinking lots of coffee?
57worldwide 6 months ago
@57worldwide So in other words, you just made this up?? Awesome. Must be nice to create your own facts..
And just out of curiosity, how is this proving anything anyway? You started off disagreeing with my statement, saying that good and intelligent people don't smoke marijuana because it is unhealthy and illegal.
Now you're trying to say that they use meth instead, even though it is more unhealthy and more illegal, but you think they would like those affects better??..
Do you have a point?
smokeweedevreda 6 months ago
@smokeweedevreda I didn't make all of it up - there are people using meth in positions of high responsibility. You are trying to say intelligent people can smoke cannabis - which I don't disagree with. However, I don't think you can say you aren't making it up.
A highly intelligent person is not necessarily a doctor, lawyer, or judge - these are positions of high responsibility.
The point is, the effects of the drug are part of what motivates the use. Philosophers smoking cannabis - possible.
57worldwide 6 months ago
@57worldwide At the most it's just an unintelligent decision as far as you're concerned. Might be very worth it to the person in question though.
Regardless, my statement was more directed at discounting the "stupid stoner" stereotype that anyone who chooses to partake in smoking (or eating or vaporizing) marijuana is therefore automatically unintelligent because they like to get high. Which seems to be a quite widely held belief.
smokeweedevreda 7 months ago
@smokeweedevreda Isn't your sense of reality altered when you're high on marijuana? He did after all say "when you're on crack" and not "if you've ever inhaled at some point in your life". And either way, it's only a joke right? :)

@SwiftsNamesake I cannot speak for others, but I have never experienced an "altered reality" while under the influence of marijuana. Your state of mind is altered in that you feel euphoria etc., but you can still recognize the world around you.
smokeweedevreda 7 months ago
@smokeweedevreda What I meant to say is that your judgement (which depends on your ability to discern fact from fiction, hence the phrasing "sense of reality") might be affected negatively from marijuana use, at least for the duration of the high. In that case, it's effects would be comparable to those of alcohol, which is of course an entirely legal and socially accepted substance, when consumed in moderation...
SwiftsNamesake 7 months ago
@smokeweedevreda ...It's not an assertion, by the way; I'm just trying to make up my mind about marijuana legalization. Although it's a controversial issue, the best arguments I've heard from the opposing side could, in my view, be adequately summarised as prejudiced knee-jerk reactions. Unless they can produce anything more substantial (which isn't asking much), legalization is the only justifiable conclusion...

Could you refer me to any reliable studies regarding the pro's and con's? Does the comparison to alcohol make sense?

@SwiftsNamesake I have Never been unable to discern fact from fiction while under the influence of marijuana.. But, fair enough, I will not argue with the fact that your judgement might be hindered slightly if you are overly intoxicated.
I maintain that alcohol is much worse in this respect but yes it could be comparable.
If you search how it became illegal, has a lot to do with hemp being more efficient in making paper, canvas, rope etc. as opposed to marijuana affecting society negatively..
