Related to pot is the 1994 Texas federal court decision to allow the Native American Church the right to use peyote in religious ceremony (Karl Marx religion is the opiates of the people is absolute here).

@ShreddGamer14 Because you can say you do but there's no actual proof they do :3 if the police challenge them on it they can say they were just trying to impress people
@ShreddGamer14 Nobody can be charged with anything for saying they do drugs. I could go up to a cop and say i do lots of heroin and he couldn't do shit. Drug abuse? It looks like they are doing fine. Speaking of which i'm gonna go beat my pot silly!
@aramonadroj first i do knoe what im talkin bout they used herion jus ONCE for time to pretend they were on it when they were writeing Time To Pretend
Some people don't want to face that their favorite band smokes pot.... they are probably Christians or ignorant about the plant. Propaganda has takin over simple minds. And that's it.
Hum, you don't understand they're jocking guys. Yeah, they smoke pot sometimes. Not EVERYtimes. I mean, it's not because they smoke pot sometimes that they are on drugs at every show of their life.
i support marijuana because first of all, its a PLANT not a drug...and second because its just fucking amazing. seriously, it'll change your life for the better lol. as for anything else, i really hope mgmt keeps it green because cocaine and all that chemical shit is not cool dood :/
im not happy with their drug choice, but i mean i listen to them for theyre music, so i mean i might be against the whole marijuana thing but it really doesnt concern me.
peace in the comments, peace on the internet, then peace on the play grounds, in the work area, through out the town. then it spreads to the next town till its cover some ground. soon the whole world is peaceful and theres no hate to be found
@InsideMyOpinion First off you must be fucking retarted "Don't say that only some people go for the extremes, because after a while, the thrill of mary jane wears off, and you are left looking for a bigger high. This happens with everyone" it hasn't happened with me and I'm 34, smoking since 16. Unless your a marijuana user who woke up one day and was like marijuana isn't enough and started doing cocaine or some other higher class drug you have no room to talk.
@InsideMyOpinion I believe my brain is functioning quite well actually. Weed IS NOT a gateway drug. Sure people who do harder drugs start with weed because that's the first availible illicit substance, as I've said. If you survey hard drug users, sure many of them would say they smoked pot. If you surveyed the millions of pot smokers, many would think you were out of your mind. Most people smoke pot as an alternative to heavy drugs or just as a way to relax and have fun.
@kinpus I've been smoking weed for 4 years. I've been offered other stuff, but I've turned it all down. I don't even drink alcohol. That whole gateway drug thing is nonsense. All the stoners I know only smoke pot. Why do you think pot makes people want to do harder drugs? No one gets high and thinks, "This is great, but I could really go for some crack." There's nothing in pot that triggers a response to do harder drugs.
@kinpus Pot has nothing to do with the fact that the people you knew made asinine choices.The only thing pot led them to were shady dealers looking to sell anything for a profit. When you ride in a car, does it make you want to ride the world's largest roller coaster? No. Some people go for the extremes. In my opinion all drugs should be legal so we could stop the trafficking and cartels. We should place heavy taxes on substances such as heroin, but treat pot like alcohol. But it's whatever.
@HomeMovies420 Make all drugs legal?are you serious? Thats just stupidity, and that someone could say that, shockes me. PEOPLE loose their way of life smoking pot.
I really dont care if you and your friends smoke pot and nothing happend yet, and so on and so forward.. I am not talking about a range of 10 people, im talking thousends.
You have been smoking pot for 4 years you say? thats nothing. Just wait and see, suddenly you are out looking for other drugs that are more "fun".
@kinpus So you're telling me that you believe that a heroin or meth addict is better off being locked up only to seek another fix upon release as opposed to receiving medical treatment? This whole imprisonment of addicts in need is draconian. I honestly would prefer that all drugs become heavily decriminalized because I don't want weed to fall into the hands of big companies that will put anything in it to get you addicted. I guess we should lock up type 2 diabetics as well.
@HomeMovies420 I am not saying that addicts should get locked up? I dont know where you got that from? I want them to get help, ofc? Imprisonment of addicts? what? when did I say something like that? im confused.
I am against ALL drugs. And you know what? WEED is a drug. AND dont get me wrong, I am not against medical drugs or anything like that. BUT drugs that you dont ACTUALLY need to stay healthy. Weed is not a drug YOU NEED to stay alive? its a drug people take to have fun. Its unnecessary.
@kinpus What is the difference between medical drugs and other drugs in your mind? You don't technically need ANY medical drugs to survive. None of them even existed a few hundred years ago. I have a friend who can't work because he can't bear the pain caused by his stomach cancer unless he gets high. That doesn't count?
@HomeMovies420 I understand where you are comming from with the imprisonment of addicts. I am from NORWAY, its VERY different here, and you have to remember, that the united states (I just guess this is where you're from..?) is not the only country in the world. But I cant understand how you can say all these things before you know how it is in other countries?
Where I live, most addicts get help. Think worldwide, not 3 yards outside your house.
@kinpus I respect all cultures and find the European way of life very interesting. I wish addicts got that kind of help here in the U.S., but they don't, and that's why I take the stance I do. I also know that the U.S. is struggling with increasing addiction rates due to traffickers looking to make money, and cartels are becoming more violent. I don't know much about Norway's drug laws, but it is ranked higher than the U.S. as far as quality of life. Could you inform me about your laws.
if you are interested in knowing more about the norwegian laws, you should google it.
Next time you are to talk about your point of view in some areas you should maybe think of other countries, other cultures and that not every country is the same.
I am not saying that my way is the right way. As a matter of fact, I am only 17, and I have not yet had that many life experiences. However, you should think further then your pinky.
@kinpus Well I still hold my position as far as what I think the United States should do. I clearly am only speaking about matters in my country as you would speak about issues relevant to you. I'm a teenager as well, and my frequent use of marijuana hasn't affected me in any way. I make good grades and volunteer often. I respect your opinion and wish you the best in life.
Then I just have to ask, if you are a teenager? How can you know that marijuana will not effect you? I am talking long term. Well, people are not bad people just couse they do drugs, that was not what I was applying at all. However, Im still against drugs for various reasons.
@kinpus I am a responsible user who has goals in life. I know many successful adults who smoked pot in their teens and continue to as adults. Marijuana isn't one of those things that affects people differently, everyone just responds differently. I guess we shall see what the future holds. I've enjoyed this conversation, and you seem like a cool guy (or girl), even if we differ on a few things. Much love to you and the rest of Norway!
@HomeMovies420 Forget Norway, read about Portugal. All drugs were legalized there 10 years ago. Go read about what happened. Hint: it's a lot like what happened when we ended alcohol prohibition.
@kinpus of course that's what i'm talking about. listen, from experience i can tell you that's not ALWAYS the case. there are some people who do get bored of the high from weed and go on to harder drugs, but i've never met anybody who did that. the people who do that are extremely few and far between and they're all idiots. you can't let the way idiots treat drugs make you say that it makes people more willing. i would never ever, for example, do coke, and being high wouldn't change that.
I couldn't care any less if they do drugs, but I hate when bands (or anyone) talk about it all pretentious like. But personally, I think it would be more awesome, if people could be cool without the use of drugs. But oh well.
Shit, I'd smoke with MGMT any day. Even if it was my last blunt of kush. I wonder what they smoke? Blunts, joints, pipes and bongs and such? They're pretty cool so probably anything.
@dhaigorwnkla mentally addicting? anything in the world can be mentally addicting you moron. should people stop using toilet paper because they are "mentally" dependent on it??
I smoke a bit as well but its funny how people think its cool to smoke it. i get drunk quite a bit as well but that aint cool either, theres nothing cool about it so why do people alway bring up the fact that they smoke it. Its not a big deal
@HomeMovies420 Why do some people associate acceptance of deviant behavior for loving and caring? I do not fear deviant behavior, I merely choose not to accept it.
@dhaigorwnkla I think you'll find that people who smoke pot are generally more compassionate than those who don't, whether or not you agree with their choices. Don't accept it, that's fine, but do you think people deserve to go to jail over a plant, when tylenol and other legal drugs can kill you easily? Enough about this though. I'm pretty sure we're both better than an argument over the internet. What's your favorite MGMT song?
@tashlosung What part are you missing here? I disagree with what he said. And my points aren't gonna be too strong, considering the fact I've never gotten into that shit. For artist who can't come up with their own music are pretty weak. They can't write shit without theyre drugs. They should probably put "Drugs" and the co-artist.
@dhaigorwnkla This will be my last post on the matter out of respect for MGMT. You're concept of what can alter the mind is weak. No one is trying to escape reality, some people just want to enjoy reality. You have no right to call people who use illegal drugs weak. Your fixes just happen to be legal. Drugs only allow the mind to access abstract thoughts, not implant the in your brain. No one is saying people have to do drugs, but don't criticize those that do. Peace. HomeMovies420 loves you.
@dhaigorwnkla "There are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats." Also, when's the last time you've seen a homeless guy tweaking out because he doesn't have any weed? Stoners love couches too much to be homeless.
@HomeMovies420 Haha, yeah, you make me laugh too. Smoking pot is nearly for the weak who want to get away from reality. Truth is, reality is always gonna be there. You cannot get away from it. Weed is mentally addicting. And most of the time, the people who smoke it are complete losers.
@dhaigorwnkla shit dude, your argument is weak. Homemovies at least presents some valid points, you just say "people who smoke it are complete losers". Yeah, compelling. I've never understood how alcohol could be legal and weed not. It doesn't make any sense to me.
@dhaigorwnkla Don't call me a loser. Live and let live. By the way, MGMT is a hugely successful band and you are on a computer somewhere calling them weak. I think you're weak because you cannot accept that your voice is not the omnipitent one you want it to be. Close-mindedness gets society nowhere; thankfully, people learn to think outside of the box. When you're gone people will still be listening to MGMT. Instead of hating and fearing, try loving and caring. How's that for reality?
@dhaigorwnkla Just because an ignorant society does not accept something does not make it wrong. Illegal means against the written law. Morality and moral laws come from yourself, if you think smoking weed is wrong, then for you it is. If I think (and I do) that smoking a plant that comes from Earth, the very place we also come from, is not wrong, then for me it isn't. And another thing, to say weed IS mentally addicting is wrong. Weed CAN be addicting, just as anything can be (i.e. video games)
@HomeMovies420 Yeah, so some research. Marihuana IS ADDICTING. And so is pot. My brother ruined his life over that crap. And now where is he? Working at wal-mart because the Navy drug tested him and it came out positive.
@dhaigorwnkla I don't see your point. All you've told me is that your brother couldn't manage his times of intoxication and carrying out his everyday responsibilities. I never said it wasn't addictive, the mind can become dependent on anything. I've seen people ruin their lives over video games, alcohol, and just plain laziness. Coffee and alcohol are more addictive and harmful, but I don't think they should be illegal. Should pets be illegal because people hoard them?
@dhaigorwnkla You really shouldn't have told me that, because that's a pet peeve of mine. Honestly, that was a dumb comment. Your brother chose to continue to smoke pot when he knew he was going to be drug tested, so that justifies the illegality of the plant? What effect did you expect that comment to have? I'll be damned if I can't smoke pot in the privacy of my home whenever I please because some people go overbored. What you said pissed me off so much I laughed.
@dhaigorwnkla ummm hey body just another little stoner nigga over here yea umm its spelt "marijuana" and thats the EXACT same thing as pot. so yea some nicce research you did their if you thought those two were different. 2nd of all pal how did you not know they smoked their music is waaaaay to different to not be weed influenced. and 3rd of all your not going to find an actual artist in the music industry that doesnt or at least hasnt smoked it and or others. so stop haitin Fag!
@R6D16 Not men because they smoke an herb for inspiration in creating beautiful music? I'm sure that Thomas Jefferson or George Washington were not men either , seeing that they smoked it daily. Or President Bush, Clinton, Obama, etc. Basically about 80% of all American Presidents are just weak right? Don't judge people, you're not God. If you don't listen to them now because they smoke, then you weren't a fan anyways.
@iBrodieTV Simply I think when they try to stop smoke they will longer their great music what i prize. Once , they may say, that the formation is not feasible without smoking. Then te move to hard drugs. And this would be the end of their music. But why risk it? I will listen their music too day when one of them don't stab a syringe to death :)
@R6D16 Hahahah move to hard drugs? I've been smoking Marijuana for years. I always do it before I write a song. I've never once thought of shooting up heroin to write a song, in-fact, that would make it impossible to write a song because I'd probably be too damn jittery. It's a very spiritual experience that no other "drug" can replace.
@R6D16 How are they not real men. I guess because they don't pass judgement on people based on propoganda that played on the racism in America. No studies on marijuana were allowed to be presented to Congress when the Marijuana Tax Act was passed, but here's what they put in the papers: "the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.” and based on your grammar I'm not sure if you're even American, so how do you feel about this Mr/Ms. Degenerat Race?

How can some people think that they have the right to judge other people? Who cares if they do drugs? They are exactly who they want to be and nobody has the right to say they should make different choices.
I'm sorry that so many of MGMT's "fans" dissaprove of their drug use (they've done others). Marijuana is not evil. You may see some kids your age who aren't doing anything productive in their lives that smoke pot, but they probably wouldn't be doing anything productive without it. Everyone in my family is highly succesful and they smoke pot. Marijuana is safer than fast food. This negative mindset needs to be wiped out. I beg you, do some research. Clearly weed hasnt hurt MGMT. Peace and Pot.
@HomeMovies420 Smoking weed messes with your brain. And just like any psychiatric medication, it can have different effects depending on the person who takes them, but generally smoking pot slows you down, and gives you a higher risk of depression. Even just once a week.
I'm not in a place to judge or disapprove MGMT, but although their music hasn't lost any quality (to the contrary), they seem to be kind of... slowed down. But I also know they have a reputation of messing with interviewers...
@Marievska Weed affects everyone the same, but people respond differently. Cannabis sativa is often times prescribed to those with depression. What do you mean by slower? Many people are very proactive while high. Many pro athletes smoke and perform just as well, if not better than their counterparts (i.e. Michael Phelps). Trust me, no one gets bummed out while high, unless there's no food around.
@HomeMovies420 lol I wasn't talking about the immediate effects, but on the long term pot can be pretty harmful to your mental health. And cannabis isn't prescribed to depressive people, but to people who suffer from chronic pain, which is pretty different.
I'm not against the legalization of marijuana, because cigarette and alcohol can be way more harmful, but it doesn't make me want to smoke pot any more.
@Marievska "Messes with your brain" is propaganda nonsense. Weed has actually been shown to support neurogenesis in the hippocampus. That's pretty good considering you don't make new brain cells. We also have cannabinoid receptors in our brain. Small traces of cannabinoids are released when people feel stressed (humans and weed were meant to be). Like it or not you've been under the influence of the devil's weed. Smokers aren't criminals. Relegalize!
@HomeMovies420 "Messes with your brain" is EXACTLY what pot does, just like any other drug - be it illegal or prescribed by a psychiatrist - does. Just like you said, it sends chemicals that are caught by the receptors in your brain and MODIFIES ITS ACTIVITY. Not that all drugs are bad, but I'll try staying happy while taking the least possible risks for my mental health, thank you very much. Call me paranoid, I don't care, although I probably would vote for its legalization if I had the choice.
@Marievska That's all I wanted to hear. I've been having an intelligent conversation with you about a touchy subject, not out somewhere killing babies; yet people still think people like me (pot smokers) should be jailed. I wouldn't want someone to pressure me into drinking, so I don't want others to feel like I'm pressuring them to smoke. I just want everyone to be sensical, and it sounds like you are. Peace and Pot (well in your case, just peace)!
@HomeMovies420 i feel you bro people dont understand its not like cigs its not badd at all im not saying i do it but i know a few people who do and i listen to bands that obviouslt do it so i aprove of it
@nyappynoodle oh shut up. weeds less harmful than fast food and only helps u relax and feel more in one with the music. ur obviosuly greatly ignorant of many things if u feel that wa
C'mon people, i bet even JUSTIN BIEBER smoke pot, it's a hard profession after all to handle all this pressure when it comes to entertain the public on performances and stuff
@nyappynoodle good call. they all go through so much pressure. even if it's not drugs, all the stars got problems. Disney's Demi Lovato had to go to rehab for cutting herself or something like that I think...
Look at Brittney Spears...ex-Mickey Mouse Club House member...ha
all great bands do drugs, led zeppelin, the beatles, espacially pink floyd, mgmt and the strokes are great bands, ofcourse they're going to be doing drugs.
@Abe91195 u cant say especially pink floyd bc in truth did not use alot of drugs, besides syd barrett. their fans are way more druggy than the group so they get the drug reputation just sayin
Ha ha. I can't believe that people are upset by this. Ha ha honestly after listening to their music, what did you expect?! I wouldn't be upset, they make kick ass music out of it
LOL at all the people who are surprised they smoke weed. Research it before you react negatively towards it. Only the best bands use it, it's like steroids for music yet not really cheating.:)
@Gutterheart82 no, he's my future husband, and i'm a dude, i'm not gay but if i had to marry a guy it would be andrew, i have a hardcore man crush on him
weed is fine but other drugs are bad. look at the strokes performing in 2001 or 2002 and compare it to them performing in 2006. thats what too much drugs and alcohol does.
@eric2dea Nah, there are other good drugs. Psilocybin mushrooms, mescaline, LSD, salvia divinorum, hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, MDMA... and probably more that I can't think of right atm.

I am from NORWAY, its VERY different here, and you have to remember, that the united states (I just guess this is where you're from..?) is not the only country in the world. But I cant understand how you can say all these things before you know how it is in other countries?
Where I live, most addicts get help. Think worldwide, not 3 yards outside your house.

@kinpus I respect all cultures and find the European way of life very interesting. I wish addicts got that kind of help here in the U.S., but they don't, and that's why I take the stance I do. I also know that the U.S. is struggling with increasing addiction rates due to traffickers looking to make money, and cartels are becoming more violent. I don't know much about Norway's drug laws, but it is ranked higher than the U.S. as far as quality of life. Could you inform me about your laws.
HomeMovies420 9 months ago
@HomeMovies420
if you are interested in knowing more about the norwegian laws, you should google it.
Next time you are to talk about your point of view in some areas you should maybe think of other countries, other cultures and that not every country is the same.
I am not saying that my way is the right way. As a matter of fact, I am only 17, and I have not yet had that many life experiences. However, you should think further then your pinky.

@kinpus Well I still hold my position as far as what I think the United States should do. I clearly am only speaking about matters in my country as you would speak about issues relevant to you. I'm a teenager as well, and my frequent use of marijuana hasn't affected me in any way. I make good grades and volunteer often. I respect your opinion and wish you the best in life.

Then I just have to ask, if you are a teenager? How can you know that marijuana will not effect you? I am talking long term. Well, people are not bad people just couse they do drugs, that was not what I was applying at all. However, Im still against drugs for various reasons.
kinpus 9 months ago
@kinpus I am a responsible user who has goals in life. I know many successful adults who smoked pot in their teens and continue to as adults. Marijuana isn't one of those things that affects people differently, everyone just responds differently. I guess we shall see what the future holds. I've enjoyed this conversation, and you seem like a cool guy (or girl), even if we differ on a few things. Much love to you and the rest of Norway!

@kinpus of course that's what i'm talking about. listen, from experience i can tell you that's not ALWAYS the case. there are some people who do get bored of the high from weed and go on to harder drugs, but i've never met anybody who did that. the people who do that are extremely few and far between and they're all idiots. you can't let the way idiots treat drugs make you say that it makes people more willing. i would never ever, for example, do coke, and being high wouldn't change that.

Don't accept it, that's fine, but do you think people deserve to go to jail over a plant, when tylenol and other legal drugs can kill you easily? Enough about this though. I'm pretty sure we're both better than an argument over the internet. What's your favorite MGMT song?

@dhaigorwnkla This will be my last post on the matter out of respect for MGMT. You're concept of what can alter the mind is weak. No one is trying to escape reality, some people just want to enjoy reality. You have no right to call people who use illegal drugs weak. Your fixes just happen to be legal. Drugs only allow the mind to access abstract thoughts, not implant the in your brain. No one is saying people have to do drugs, but don't criticize those that do. Peace. HomeMovies420 loves you.

@HomeMovies420 Haha, yeah, you make me laugh too. Smoking pot is nearly for the weak who want to get away from reality. Truth is, reality is always gonna be there. You cannot get away from it. Weed is mentally addicting. And most of the time, the people who smoke it are complete losers.
dhaigorwnkla 11 months ago
@dhaigorwnkla shit dude, your argument is weak. Homemovies at least presents some valid points, you just say "people who smoke it are complete losers". Yeah, compelling. I've never understood how alcohol could be legal and weed not. It doesn't make any sense to me.
tashlosung 11 months ago
@dhaigorwnkla Don't call me a loser. Live and let live. By the way, MGMT is a hugely successful band and you are on a computer somewhere calling them weak. I think you're weak because you cannot accept that your voice is not the omnipitent one you want it to be. Close-mindedness gets society nowhere; thankfully, people learn to think outside of the box. When you're gone people will still be listening to MGMT. Instead of hating and fearing, try loving and caring. How's that for reality?
HomeMovies420 11 months ago
@dhaigorwnkla Just because an ignorant society does not accept something does not make it wrong. Illegal means against the written law. Morality and moral laws come from yourself, if you think smoking weed is wrong, then for you it is. If I think (and I do) that smoking a plant that comes from Earth, the very place we also come from, is not wrong, then for me it isn't. And another thing, to say weed IS mentally addicting is wrong. Weed CAN be addicting, just as anything can be (i.e. video games)

@HomeMovies420 Yeah, so some research. Marihuana IS ADDICTING. And so is pot. My brother ruined his life over that crap. And now where is he? Working at wal-mart because the Navy drug tested him and it came out positive.
dhaigorwnkla 1 year ago
@dhaigorwnkla I don't see your point. All you've told me is that your brother couldn't manage his times of intoxication and carrying out his everyday responsibilities. I never said it wasn't addictive, the mind can become dependent on anything. I've seen people ruin their lives over video games, alcohol, and just plain laziness. Coffee and alcohol are more addictive and harmful, but I don't think they should be illegal. Should pets be illegal because people hoard them?
HomeMovies420 11 months ago
@dhaigorwnkla You really shouldn't have told me that, because that's a pet peeve of mine. Honestly, that was a dumb comment. Your brother chose to continue to smoke pot when he knew he was going to be drug tested, so that justifies the illegality of the plant? What effect did you expect that comment to have? I'll be damned if I can't smoke pot in the privacy of my home whenever I please because some people go overbored. What you said pissed me off so much I laughed.

@dhaigorwnkla ummm hey body just another little stoner nigga over here yea umm its spelt "marijuana" and thats the EXACT same thing as pot. so yea some nicce research you did their if you thought those two were different. 2nd of all pal how did you not know they smoked their music is waaaaay to different to not be weed influenced. and 3rd of all your not going to find an actual artist in the music industry that doesnt or at least hasnt smoked it and or others. so stop haitin Fag!

I'm sorry that so many of MGMT's "fans" dissaprove of their drug use (they've done others). Marijuana is not evil. You may see some kids your age who aren't doing anything productive in their lives that smoke pot, but they probably wouldn't be doing anything productive without it. Everyone in my family is highly succesful and they smoke pot. Marijuana is safer than fast food. This negative mindset needs to be wiped out. I beg you, do some research. Clearly weed hasnt hurt MGMT. Peace and Pot.

@HomeMovies420 Smoking weed messes with your brain. And just like any psychiatric medication, it can have different effects depending on the person who takes them, but generally smoking pot slows you down, and gives you a higher risk of depression. Even just once a week.
I'm not in a place to judge or disapprove MGMT, but although their music hasn't lost any quality (to the contrary), they seem to be kind of... slowed down. But I also know they have a reputation of messing with interviewers...
Marievska 10 months ago
@Marievska Weed affects everyone the same, but people respond differently. Cannabis sativa is often times prescribed to those with depression. What do you mean by slower? Many people are very proactive while high. Many pro athletes smoke and perform just as well, if not better than their counterparts (i.e. Michael Phelps). Trust me, no one gets bummed out while high, unless there's no food around.
HomeMovies420 10 months ago
@HomeMovies420 lol I wasn't talking about the immediate effects, but on the long term pot can be pretty harmful to your mental health. And cannabis isn't prescribed to depressive people, but to people who suffer from chronic pain, which is pretty different.
I'm not against the legalization of marijuana, because cigarette and alcohol can be way more harmful, but it doesn't make me want to smoke pot any more.
Marievska 10 months ago
@Marievska "Messes with your brain" is propaganda nonsense. Weed has actually been shown to support neurogenesis in the hippocampus. That's pretty good considering you don't make new brain cells. We also have cannabinoid receptors in our brain. Small traces of cannabinoids are released when people feel stressed (humans and weed were meant to be). Like it or not you've been under the influence of the devil's weed. Smokers aren't criminals. Relegalize!
HomeMovies420 10 months ago
@HomeMovies420 "Messes with your brain" is EXACTLY what pot does, just like any other drug - be it illegal or prescribed by a psychiatrist - does. Just like you said, it sends chemicals that are caught by the receptors in your brain and MODIFIES ITS ACTIVITY. Not that all drugs are bad, but I'll try staying happy while taking the least possible risks for my mental health, thank you very much. Call me paranoid, I don't care, although I probably would vote for its legalization if I had the choice.
Marievska 10 months ago
@Marievska That's all I wanted to hear. I've been having an intelligent conversation with you about a touchy subject, not out somewhere killing babies; yet people still think people like me (pot smokers) should be jailed. I wouldn't want someone to pressure me into drinking, so I don't want others to feel like I'm pressuring them to smoke. I just want everyone to be sensical, and it sounds like you are. Peace and Pot (well in your case, just peace)!
