There are levels of intoxication with pot, and the fact is that unless you are totally wiped out, you could easily drive better, with a bit of a buzz on.
I used to be a pretty keen surfer, snow skier, and rock climber, all endeavours that require great skill, and co-ordination, and I enjoyed, and excelled at all these activities while pretty well baked.

There are of course limitations, and I do not think we should be promoting that people drive under any level of intoxication, but if we are being honest, we must acknowledge that certain types, and levels of "altered" consciousness, can actually improve peoples abilities, to varying degrees, in some circumstances.

The US style sobriety test is something I have always considered to be something worth developing to a more refined level, so we can actually test peoples ability at the time, rather than just test what is in their system, and assume that they are therefore in a dangerously unfit state.

Have middle ear probs and you'll flunk a sobriety test.

No, I'm not stoned. I wish I could be in the fashion that I desire.
Fact is, that pot is more of a reward than anything else for being at ease with yourself.

I'm not sure why Jas. has such a thing against it. From my understanding, he has worked in the medical profession for a number of years and no doubt would hardly be able to count the true victims of pot on any more than one finger (excluding himself).

To this point, I haven't seen any bonafide fact to substantiate claims that pot hinders pre-existing abilities or conditions to any degree greater than socially acceptable substances or natural personal conditions due to the stresses of our inept societal structure.

Unfortunately, it's the natural state of the vast majority of humans in our society to require a "quick fix" to unwind.
IMO, it's not for us to go beating ourselves about our heads because we have this natural desire to unwind and clear our minds. This is just what we are; our society is not a reflection of us.

Now consider what is acceptable in our society:

Sex sex and more sex is acceptable as a quick fix. That's fine if you never want a good and trusting relationship. Our society likes them to be rare as hen's teeth in order to double the economic demand.

Drugs drugs and more drugs, are acceptable and will be pushed upon you by your practitioner even if you don't want them.
If you're thinking of mellowing out with a joint....have a prescribed pill or a Jim Beam instead - this is what our society teaches us.

Rock 'n' roll: They used to wail their heart, now they're told to wail bs., and they get their troubled lives into the media in an expedient manner.

So.. we've still got our sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, but somehow it's changed. It's pushed upon us as an acceptable package, but it's not really likeable nor acceptable IMO.

Me.., I miss the days of having a quiet joint whilst sitting on a beach, listening to waves crash in, and not having to bother about working the next day, the day after ...or the day after that.
Oh for the grandest (lack of) drug of all called "taking a holiday".

It was once prescribed by many a practitioner to take a longgg holiday. Now it's not.
Now the prescription is to party hard and fast, get over it quick, do what it takes, because we need to keep our economy rolling on. Hurry up and relax you idiot.

If you see that connection that I do, then you will know within yourself that marijuana is not a harmful drug per se'. It's a harmful drug for the continuation of our bs, inept, pathetic excuse for a society.
My grandfather would be rolling turn upon turn upon seeing this crap that he died for.  I know that surely he'd fight against this garbage with at least all of the heart and soul that got him killed way back then...when men were once men.

















 

I am bound eternally by great chains to my mistress, Maryjane.

The ignorance in this thread is unworthy of my enlightened self.

Don't ask questions from the academics, smoke marijuana and then you will know the truth!

I challenge you, yes you! Go get high on Maryjane and you will no longer be her enemy. She will blow your mind. She is my ho and I am her pimp!

Yours sincerely,

A very stoned follower of Maryjane.

PS LEGALIZE WEED, DON'T BITCH ON MY WEED, NARCS

Yes

Legalize. The very fact that cigarettes are legal and Cannabis is not is very stupid.

What people do in their private lives is none of the governments business.

Not only that, but the War on Drugs has to be the biggest waste of taxpayers money that I have ever seen.
