[darktreason]

[h4x0rman1]

Make it legal and say bye bye paranoia.

[teasnax]

@MrIMONFIRE ~ you don't need to tell ME;^) it just won't be full on indica/afghanica unless i'm trying to go to sleep or kill some pain. for pussy's sake....

[MrIMONFIRE]

people used herb back in the day for insense which would be like a prayer going up to heaven to god.... and my prayer always gets answered when im smoking weed my friend!!! i want to be mellow and take it slow!!! the healing of the nations and the tree of life!!! amen

[JesseISAwesomeO]

i find using the word marijuana to describe cannabis, aka weed, as very offensive. the government named it that, use its scientifical name! pothead isnt offensive tho because its the truth haha

[baragon69]

@JesseISAwesomeO Marijuana is the word cannabis in Spanish.

[MrIMONFIRE]

@baragon69 i just learned something new today... lol thank you

[teasnax]

@baragon69 ~ @baragon69 ~ i second JesseISAwesomeO. no where in any Spanish-speaking country will you hear "marijuana." the only real Spanish word i've seen for cannabis L. is canamo [with an enye over the n]. get your shit straight and don't contribute to the web of misinformation out there....

[baragon69]

@teasnax "Well excuse me". And fyi, I didn't get that info on the web. I found it in a book on learning the Spanish language. The writers had gotten it wrong. It's a slang term for cannabis in Mexico, just like weed is a slang for it here in the states.

[teasnax]

@baragon69 ~ a) thanks for showing me what i've already read and b) you still aren't winning with me. i'm just not saying more because you are set in what you saw and you will just waste my time going in circles. good day.

[paranoid492]

@teasnax good shit man standing up for yourself is mentally rewarding

[baragon69]

@teasnax According to Jack Herer, William Randolph Hearst, "through pervasive and repetitive use, pounded the obscure Mexican slang word 'marijuana' into the English-speaking American consciousness. Meanwhile, the word 'hemp' was discarded and 'cannabis,' the scientific term, was ignored and buried. The actual Spanish word for hemp is “cáñamo.” But using a Mexican “Sonoran” colloquialism – marijuana, often Anglicized as “marihuana” – guaranteed that few would realize that the proper

[baragon69]

@teasnax terms for one of the chief natural medicines, 'cannabis,' and for the premiere industrial resource, 'hemp,' had been pushed out of the language."

[MrIMONFIRE]

@JesseISAwesomeO marijuana is the word for cannabis but yes your right the government call it marijuana instead of weed or cannabis to make it sound scary because they were rascist against mexicans and blacks

[luclpher6isbak]

i smoke bud.. i dont drink.. i dont smoke cigarettes or cigars etc.. and im fit and healthy... its just how you handle life it..im perfectly ok with smoking weed than any other drugs..

[teasnax]

mmmm.... Cannabis.... it's just me, but i find that indicas "during the day" tend to lead to some paranoia....

"I've Smoked Weed with Ngaio." Cannabis Inhalers Association ~ good one, boss!;^D

FREE EDDY LEPP, CHARLES LYNCH and MARC EMERY [and from extradition]; and SUPPORT JACK HERER and RICK SIMPSON!!!!

[MizeryLovesCompany77]

oh emm geee, i thought the same thing, indicas are no good for fuctioning during the day hahaha wow i thought i was like the only one who thought that

[teasnax]

cooool.... unfortunately, i need that some mornings [medical], and actually have learned to "mind over matter" it to a good degree; BUT there are those odd times where i start "trippin'" take a deep breath and go "ok, that's just the indica flowin'":^D i'm diggin' on 50/50's these days....

[valeo626]

not sure about paranoia... i get really anxious high and i cant tell if its the law and my parents or the chemicals and schizophrenic family background

[dooochbaggg]

same here valeo626, my uncle had paranoid shizophrenia.its probobly not the shizophrenic background dont worry about it , u will make urself paranoid and skitzo if u think about too much and cause urself stress.

[valeo626]

eating a lot of food releases chemicals in the brain, watching tv releases chemicals in the brain, playing video games, playing sports, having emotions, being around friends or family or pets... the brain is a painter's canvas of chemical interactions.

[ScottBrown666]

Marjiuana aside, anyone who isn't at least a little bit paranoid in this 21st century is just plain stupid. You are constantly being lied to, manipulated, and spied on by professionals, and that's not even a secret.

[Joeweeeeeeee]

everything that gets you intoxicated can be a gate way drug, but not for every one

[ColdDeath1332]

absolutly not... the gateway to illegal substance is through dealers and lack of knowing the problems with certain substance... i smoke bud and im fine with only smoking bud... i dont even drink

[JJOKER14]

ive been smoking marijuana for 5 years now and ive never had the urge to try anything else i dont even drink anymore...it gets me high everytime..

[KJBPSkipper]

There is no such REAL LINK between pot and heavier drugs,it just sounds convincing enough for the sheep to go along with.

[joethepusher]

Mj made me paranoid. Now after Prop 215 and MMJ my paranoia is a lot less sometimes I forget that Im Legal and get paranoid. also rouge LEOs are a big fear for Mj smokers.

[Potandthekettle]

One thing I found insteresting is the answer to the paranoid question. Its true what he said, some people dont react well to pot. I've always known that, but when he said they should try a different strain and find one you feel comfortable with, I thought "When the hell do I ever have a choice of strain?" Most dealers I know just get what they can, or only the same one over and over. If legalized, then I'd have that choice of strain that works best for me! Another reason to legalize

[napkin74]

@Potandthekettle what you gotta do is find a good dealer who actually sells the dank instead of keep it to themselves

[mrbinks456]

its just a matter of time before its legal. so many people in the younger generation are down for smoking. so when they all start voting and the oldies startin dieing off. its gonna happen. just a matter of when

[scorpionsoulja]

ya shrooms and weed is the best

[lesenfantterribles]

Nah man, DMT is better than shrooms. If you don't already know about it, you should do some research, it really is an amazing thing. Also look up David Hudson's Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements, (Monoatomic gold) this stuff is going to change the world

[80canadian08]

As an avid pot smoker I completely agree with you BSG. I've only tried another drug called ecstasy, which was an intense trip in it's own way. Since then, whenever I am high on pot I, become afraid of most other 'dangerous' drugs. It almost makes me more aware of the long term health disadvantages (to say the least).

I just smoked some delicious jack and that is all I want.

[Deelucky84]

Funny how your worried about the "heatlh disadvantages" from other drugs, but you lable yourself as an avid pot smoker.

IRONNNNNNY!!!!!!

[ScottBrown666]

it's healthier to smoke pot than not. Do some research you empty vessel.

[KJBPSkipper]

You are going to be affected by some kind of major stress somewhere along the line,pot helps me even out and deal with life better.

[Civil7Soldier]

I want to know where i can buy that kind of water with a pot leaf on it.

[sbkbking]

SO TRUE!

[BossToons]

Exactly.

[buddhabomber]

Watch the Movie Totally Baked. Its not a stupid haha im high movie. Its a funny movie about the truth of Marijuana

[acef016]

the old guy with the shades is soo stoned lol

[xximamonsterxx06]

im so glad my mom & i have smoked together before! im volunteering this year! i just might have to invite her and her sister (my aunt) to come with me!

[passyourdrugtest]

it keeps me from killing people thats the truth

[saiyoice]

Deaths per year resulting from alcohol: 100,000

· Deaths per year resulting from tobacco: 430,000

· Deaths per year resulting from aspirin: 180- 1000

· Deaths per year resulting from legal drugs: 106,000

· Deaths that have ever occurred in direct result of Cannabis: 0

[SiCoFgOvErNmEnT]

ENOUGH SAID!! Marijuana should be LEGAL period!!! Good job on your stats!

[TKTK00]

yup

the only reson i was ever in fear of losing my life was when i was doing something stupid while i was high

i've probly smoked at least 100 pounds,so i may not have been the smartest tool in the shed but i was the happiest

[Killbuzz]

@saiyoice its sick that tobacco kills more than aids,murders,drugs,alcohol,her­oine,crack,cocaine, car crashes, fires, Combined! and still it gets goverment's support

[SirWinstonChurchill]

@saiyoice

If it wasn't for a certain alcoholic, you would be either be wearing an SS uniform or you would be in a death camp...

I don't see the logic in attacking other people for their drugs of choice... Smoking anything will give you cancer...

[buttonsputon]

VOTE HEMP alongside MEDICINAL cannabis use for health liberty and economy!

farmers and patients unite with understanding citizens.

upthumb this.

[williamthomasmi10]

yah... my parents wouldnt let me...

but hey-

what they dont know cant hurt them, rite?

[RudBoyToks]
