I remember the days when I would wake up (aka wake and bake) eat go back to sleep wake up do it again eat some more,call my looser friends see if they wanted to meet up and blaze.Talk shit for a few hours how we gonna do this and that and really end up doing nothing.Smoke some more think to myself tomorow gonna find a job tomorow never comes.Man I was a looser at 17-18 years old.Glad I got out that shitty routine the same friends I use to toke with moved on to jail,meth,herrion.Going to the gym and finding my hobby saved my life.....

I remember the days I would wake and bake, head to work sell half a million worth of solar stuff and design a 300kw system, get off take 2 xanax and smoke some more then write 3 chapters of a novel, but not before making turkey chili and taking care of 8 dogs and then I had sex later that night.....yep last week was awesome.....but I must admit I am one of those rare breeds like Hunter Thompson who can function under the influence....

I made this thread and you came into it. You 2 have a history of fighting me, so you came looking for trouble. If I am such a plague, ignore me.

This is a public forum. The reason people make threads here is for other people to come in and post their opinion. That's all that was done, and you got all defensive about it like a little baby. Seriously.

i used to smoke it before i had kids and enjoyed it from 15 to 28 ish but being a parent i don't feel it's a good choice to be inebriated in any way around or as an example, responsibility wise, to my kids. i drink some alcohol but never enough to alter my speech etc just a drink to relax type drinker. pot doesn't make me feel much but varying degrees of paranoid anymore, and do you know how much milk you can buy with that much money mister my 13 year old son eats about $500 worth of groceries in 2 weeks. he's 5'8" if he didn't grow an inch last night, which wouldn't surprise me, and weighs about 100 pounds.

i still love the smell but detest tobacco smoke. Tess , being an adult, is allowed to smoke pot in my house but not ciggs. I have no problem with responsible adults using it if they so choose. it's ridiculous that it is illegal and it's a valuable medicinal for many people.

BTW, i hate people who pressure others into doing things they say no to. if you started this thread to get support you have it. my parents used to say "oh come on have a toke".... it's bullshit and very disrespectful. Tess says "wanna get haiiiii?" but she's just being silly and playful.

Doesn't sound like any of my stoner friends. I'd rather get high and go to the beach than get high and sit on my ass like a fat lazy turd.

How is that looking for trouble?


If you don't want to be shit on AKIRA then don't act like an asshole. It's that simple.

Ok Cabbage Patch Ill bite this morning..

Then there is always this answer. "none of my friends do that.." Well thats just dynamite. Friends of mine and the associations I know and even the people just known through talk amongst others are all the ones I am referring to in my statistics. In other words, I dont have personal hard knowledge of anyone doing anything functional at any time while they are high. I have read it on here and maybe another forum, but they could all be liars and they could all have an off high day.

But telling me you know so and so and they do this and that wont convince me. You can say God can create a planet while high. Because of my social history and my minor obvious observations, seeing is believing.

So, parting shot, Ill just take what you said, shake my head and say: Sure you do.

This, THIS was my disagreement. All it says is that Ive heard those stories before. With that said, YOU didnt like that I didnt immediately disregard everyone Ive observed in my past. Sometimes I remember how young you are and realize, you think you know everything, but you evidently cannot. I know what I have seen..and seen again.

If 20 people are smoking weed and 3 of them are functional with it, then I got 2 conclusions. 1, they need it to function which is sad. 2, they dont need it at all, therefore draws the question of why they are doing it. Surprise, surprise, SYN is one of the 3. Fine, sure.

But if we are speaking from personal bias, heres one for you. You have a hard on for ruffling my feathers. When I fire back, it causes a ripple so big your mommy comes to help with collateral damage. This has happened so much and Ive been oh so mean, Prince had to join in. I remembered Tough Old Guy or whatever his name was also called out this 'team work.' But thats fine with me.

Would I really be so silly to think that you came in here, just to disagree with me because of our history and, not only that, but maybe you were offended by certain assumptions I may have made of weed smokers, that you felt personally insulted?

Parting shot, I lived a life witnessing certain things and I would be more of an idiot to disregard the majority of what Ive seen, cuz some little girl makes breakfast while high. My Quote is one of me saying that I was ready for that response. Youre next response called me a liar and that I knew no one who smoked weed.

So I just made all of that up huh?

What do you think I asked her to come jump on your ass with me? I think not. If your mom came on this forum and started bitching at me how would you feel? Would you say "yea mom get her" or would you feel embarrassed? Take a wild guess on how it makes me feel.

Would I really be so silly to think that you came in here, just to disagree with me because of our history and, not only that, but maybe you were offended by certain assumptions I may have made of weed smokers, that you felt personally insulted?

I felt personally insulted by the fact that someone who doesn't really know me at all felt that he had the right to assume that I'm some some vegged out zombie who has no aspirations in life other than to get high, or that I need pot to function like I'm some fucking twacked out heroin junkie. I've been sick for the past two days because of allergies, I can't breath through my nose, and because of post nasal drip every morning when I wake up my throat is full of phlegm. I smoked one bowl yesterday morning, and haven't had anything since. If I needed it so badly being sick wouldn't stop me from smoking it. I do need a cigarette though. I need those for everything. If I have any kind of crippling addiction it's to cigarettes.

And yes I do sit around in my bedroom for hours sometimes. On the computer editing wedding pictures for my photography business or knitting/crocheting, making lamps out of old bottles. I spend a considerable amount of time sitting on my ass, but I'm not vegging out I'm doing something productive and profitable.

Parting shot, I lived a life witnessing certain things and I would be more of an idiot to disregard the majority of what Ive seen, cuz some little girl makes breakfast while high.

I called you a liar?

So, parting shot, Ill just take what you said, shake my head and say: Sure you do.

I think it's pretty obvious that you threw the first stone. By your own admission you don't smoke (you haven't made it clear weather you've tried it once or not) but I must be lying about how pot affects me, or I must be completely and totally wrong about what pot does to me even though I've been smoking it for five years now.

I have read it on here and maybe another forum, but they could all be liars and they could all have an off high day.

What reason do they have to lie about it? It's not going to get them anywhere, so why would they even bother?


I didn't mean to imply that you were lying about anything when I said what I said. It sounds like you know people who abuse it, not people who just smoke it. What kind of stoners have you known? How old are they? Are they the kind of smokers who are smoking a 20 sack throughout the day, or are they smoking a whole nickel in a night? The friends I mentioned that I don't hang out with anymore were the kind of stoners that would pick up a fat sack every few days and smoke it all at once and get so high that they weren't even any fun to be around. Get baked and pass out. I don't see the point in that.
When I first started smoking I was like that. I was the stoner who would smoke an eighth in half an hour, eat everything in the kitchen and pass out for 13 hours. I was one of those zombies. I smoked to get high. And sadly most people who smoke start out that way, and they stay that way. I'll buy an eighth now and it will last us a couple days, and I wont get high off it once. I've actually been high maybe once or twice in the past month. It's like alcohol in a way that your body builds up a tolerance for it. And you can either decide to just do more and more and more until it gives you that feeling again, or to just enjoy a couple drinks because you like how it tastes.
Nobody needs pot, or alcohol for anything, and if they think they do then they have a problem.

If I wanted to get high now I'd probably have to smoke a half ounce in a day. I can't afford a habit like that, and I don't want to have a habit like that. It's a personal decision, and I'm sorry that your friends made the wrong one.

If you want to hang out and have a good time with your friends without them being high, you have the right to want that, and if they can't respect that then that's their problem. If they want to go to the bar or the beach with you or whatever just tell them "okay but if you're just gonna get high, then I'll go with someone else" I don't have many friends that don't smoke, but I respect the ones that don't do it enough to not do it around them, or argue with them that they're wrong for choosing not to do it.

I'm not trying to disagree with the fact that a lot of stoners never do anything with their lives but live in their mommies basement thinking they're doing something by getting high. I'm not trying to convince you that pot is amazing and makes everyone's life better, or that you're missing out on something. I'm trying to bring light to the fact that not all people who smoke are losers, and that just because I enjoy smoking pot it doesn't mean I'm a bad or lazy person, or that I'm high all the time.

Before I started smoking I shared your opinion. Pot is horrible and it ruins peoples lives. Why would anyone want to smoke pot, it just makes you lazy. Then I started smoking and realized it has nothing to do with pot itself it has to do with the person using it, and what they decide they're going to do with their life.

 

[Dale Mabry]

I really don't understand why people give a shit what other people do that has no direct impact on their life. I choose to ingest marijuana cause I like to, not because I need it, but do most people need alcohol? Some people choose to drink because they like to, some people choose to overeat because they like to, some people choose other avenues. I agree a vast majority of the people who do it plop on a couch and accomplish nothing, but if I were to choose to smoke weed and sit around and do nothing all day, how is that anyone else's business but mine as long as I'm making my own money, not a public health concern, and not driving around high?

[Little Wing]

i thinks it's a personal choice but if i didn't like pot and every time i wanted to do something with a friend they were smoking it or bringing it to smoke while we went to do something or i could never hang out with them at their house when they didn't smoke it while i was there i'd be disgusted. not that they use it but they can't seem to do anything without it. seems like the issue here and the simple solution is get new friends.

also i'm not sure but i think AKIRA is a security guard and maybe getting busted for what his friend is doing or has in his car would be an issue with his job? if that is the case what they do can have a direct influence on his life. get friends that respect you and you can respect. you will NEVER convince someone that doesn't want to be convinced no matter how good or true or reasonable your argument is.

and AKIRA, Tess isn't the only one i defend on here. people have asked me why the fuck i bother defending you when i have. there were a few incidents one i remember off the top of me head is someone shitting on you and calling you stupid an me saying something like stupid would be them saying the shit they were spewing to your face. get off the bs of mommy to the rescue i'm not your mommy but i spoke up and shit on your advesaries before too.the point isn't a blood tie just people shitting on forum members just to be a cunt about something. if i was in a room full of strangers and someone was being a twat i'd say don't be a twat. just my nature.

Ive never really disliked her. She was a friend on Myspace years back. Buuuut an old member used to say she jumped in whenever her kid was going rampart on this forum. And she jumped in every single time. She still does. The old member was named Tough Old Man or Guy. When he pointed out this behavior, I didnt care cuz its just a forum. Now I see it. Just a specific observation. What I eventually found funny is that I know its a forum, I know its not a big deal, I know I wont meet anyone on here, yet everyone knows everything, but LW still has to jump in. Why? Feeding boredom? Just let her do her thing on her own. What could happen?

I come on here to feed boredom. I worked today and now its nighttime so I am on here to pass the time. I may seem to care about the arguments I get on here, but the moment the real world comes calling, I lose interest in the feud.

However annoying, it's the Motherly thing to do. Personally, I don't think anybody is at fault here - it seems like the history between you three started up drama that had it been under any other login name wouldn't have happened.

I smoke pot regularly, but don't draw any similarities to what you were saying in prior. After all of my obligations for the day are fulfilled, there is nothing better to me than coming home, getting a little high and doing the things I do to pass time until the next day. This isn't an everyday occurrence nor would I want it to be, and it certainly isn't because I need it to function, but to me it just seems like the perfect addition to a relaxing night.

AKIRA can be a jerk but a lot of posts on here show a very different side of him too. not going to point them out but he's softer and more caring about things than he seems if you read certain posts... and it's a forum, i don't care enough to maintain a mad. if i saw him broke down on the road or something in real life and recognized him i'd stop and help without hesitation and if he asked me for help with something i'd help if i could. no one's perfect but there are a lot worse assholes in the world than what he thinks of me or me him. this is nothing. people have done a lot worse to me that disagree with me on a forum, take a jab via font etc. it's not like he threw a puppy off a cliff or something.

and the thread wasn't a total loss. people are opinionated about the pot issue on both sides. i think he has lifelong friends maybe who he's having a hard time accepting their habits. i would too if i made plans to do something with a friend and they were drinking every single time. and i certainly wouldn't want to jeopardize my job or get a criminal record cuz someone couldn't give it a rest to hang out with me.

You really are retarded

Retarded would be you saying that to his face.

gee, why the fuck would i say that to Tryinhard ? are you my long lost son or something? in families you always have people that piss you off. they are still family and it's just normal to growl at perceived threats against any of them from within or especially from without the pack. IM is sort of like a family to a lot of us. and you don't send family members into the gloomy dark forever banned lands of your ire unless they really fuck up. an internet spat hardly qualifies as really fucks up.
