If people could just slam their fists down on the table and say:

NO, I DO NOT WANT ANY DRUGS WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!

And with the need for euphoria gone, the drugdealers will have to find better ways to make money.

I know what you mean! BUT....you will progress and they will stagnate (in the long haul...which is what life is) Be glad you are learning how to deal with the real world. They unfortunately, are learning how to escape, which at your young "age of discovery" with great personal deeds yet to be done, is sad.

Just a passing note:

Monday, September 15, 2003:
CANADIAN BAKIN': Ha! Ha! The "Official" Canadian Government medical marijuana turned out to be a little less than high quality.

"Some of the first patients to smoke Canada's government-approved marijuana say it is "disgusting" and they want their money back.

Health Canada, the federal health department, started selling marijuana in July to bring relief to patients suffering from AIDS, cancer and other diseases. The move followed a court order that patients should not be forced to get their marijuana from drug dealers on the streets.

But some of the first to buy the government's marijuana say it is no good.
"It's totally unsuitable for human consumption," said Jim Wakeford, 58, an AIDS patient in Gibsons, British Columbia.

Wakeford and Barrie Dalley, a 52-year-old Toronto man who uses marijuana to combat the nausea associated with AIDS, are returning their 1-ounce bags, and Dalley is demanding his money back — about $195 plus taxes. Wakeford is returning his unpaid bill for two bags with a written complaint.

The marijuana is being grown for Health Canada deep underground in a vacant mine section in Flin Flon, Manitoba, by Prairie Plant Systems on a contract worth about $7.5 million."


No wonder it sucks. They took "bids" from a government contractor to grow this "stuf" in an abandoned mineshaft!

$7.5 million?!?!

You know how much high quality weed a half dozen stoners could produce on patch of land with that kind of money?

GrayMouser - Well just leave it the government to waste money and produce an inferior product. What did Canadians expect from a government program - efficiency and good quality?

Gimli - are you having withdrawal or something? Do you REALLY feel the need that badly to start up as soon as your month is up?

[gimli7410]

not really but my fried is getting a whole bunch of fireworks then and were gonna have a huge party so...

Yeah, really, especially since from what I read Canada now produces some of the best stuff around (haven't indulged myself for about 15 years- or was that 15 minutes- funny what happens to your short-term memory....)

I love that scene in Apollo 13 (a favourite movie) when they need to change the carbon dioxide filters, and Ed Harris asks why they don't just take the scrubbers from the Odyssey and put them in the LEM:

Engineer:"Because the scrubbers in the Odyssey are square and the ones in the LEM are round"

Ed: "Someone tell me I'm not working for a government outfit."

congradulations!
It's been about 2 months for me, and before that 9 months. Like I said before, I could take it or leave it. And that's good that you can do that, too.

Do yourself a favor, only use it on occasion, not every weekend like you were. It doesn't become special when you have it all the time.

Edit: had to keep changing the amount of months I haven't smoked. I forgot about this time or that time. As I said, it's not a big deal for me.

[azalea]

Good job! And I agree with Ruinel about your use of it in the future.

[Sminty_Smeagol]

I think smokers are the most fun and in general overall coolest people i know. Not cuz they do drugs but their personalities. Well let me put it this way... most cool people I know smoke pot. However, many people who smoke pot are broke losers(I include myself here lol).

I know a guy who 'quit' but last night he couldn't resist the power of the hydro... haha
poor guy. It's all my fault too. He's so obsessed with quitting. but he helps his lil bro (whos been smokin since 4th garde, now in 8th) get it still

oh is that why yer always wanting people to buy you stuff?

but as far as cool people being in correlation with pot smokers well I guess it depends what you mean by cool of course. I know plenty of really mellow really easy to get along with people who smoke all the time. but i also know a lot of 0 personality wastoids who arent really worth talking with for more then a few minutes. But from what youve told me I think youve been surrounded by a lot of "dope is evil" types who also are hollier then thou and anal and nuerotic in other ways so for you the stoner crowd is a refreshing change.

[Sminty_Smeagol]

did you get my PM?

[Sminty_Smeagol]

Dude I dunno. religion and pot. People are too judgemental on smoker people. I wouldn't consider myself a 'pothead' but I do know people I would consider that. And everyone's too judgemental on them. They frequently act kinda dumb but some of them think about things, unlike all the 'I'm a christian cuz my parents say so' people who think they're better than everyone else because they're 'christians', although THEY'RE the ones running around in form-fitting clothes and being hypocritical, judgemental, self-righteous, egotistical, MORONS. I hate how christians think pot is bad. it never in the bible says that. marijuana was smoked a lot in the middle-east maybe jesus smoked it who knows. Nowhere in the bible does it say not to smoke cannabis.

"Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; that which cometh out of the mouth defileth a man." (Mat. 15:11)

And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)

(Cannabis is mentioned in Ex. 30:23 but King James mistranslated it as 'sweet calamus') :
Moreover, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even 250 shekels, and of qaneh-bosm [cannabis] 250 shekels, 24 And of cassia 500 shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy anointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. 26 And thous shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony, 27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick ahd his vessels, and the altar of incense, 28 And the altar of burnt offerings with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. 29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. (Exodus 30:22-29)


He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make his face to shineth. (Psalm 104:14-15)

I don't think of myself as "cool" or uncool. It has nothing to do with whether or not I smoke pot or not. And I don't consider the people that I smoke pot with either cool or uncool. It's just whether they are good people or not.

Yeah, I'm with you on the "broke loser" pot-head types. I've known a few and managed to avoid being one. When something you enjoy on occasion becomes your only obsession or goal in life (i.e., constantly on the look for a score) then you become a "broke loser" because you aren't really enjoying the rest that life has to offer you. When that happens to you, you lose your identy and begin to conform to a certain stereotype. You live up to the label that that the "hypocritical, judgemental, self-righteous, egotistical... Christians" has for anyone who smokes weed.

I highly recommend that you avoid becoming like that ("broke loser" pot-head type). Because I think you are quite the individual ("square peg" in a "round hole" world, like I told you in pm). Stay strange! And don't let them, or anything you do, take away your individuality.

[Sminty_Smeagol]

ok can people *cough* stop trying to encourage me or whatever? Not to offend but I dunno. I don't like compliments and artificial encouragement...

but yeah. i know someone who is both a broke loser and a cool person, except for his broke loserishness. he doesnt have a license, every morning he takes his moms car, steals $140 from her bank account, drives to his dealer and gets an ounce... with his moms money and his moms car. Every day. and every day at school he mentions how he cant wait to get home and smoke. Aside from his behavior, as a person he is very interesting. but wow... its a bit extreme. It's confusing.

Personally, I think pot helps me. I've only been doing it recently, but it does help me, I think. I've always been very disorganized and I lose everything... previously, I lost both my test grade essays from english honors before I could finish them and turn them in so I'm failing that class. I was, of course, very angry, and like 'Well if I lose my work anyway, why bother turning it in? Why bother doing any work at all? I'll just tell all my teachers I want 0's in all their classes so they won't bug me to do work anymore' (I get really upset over things sometimes). Then I started smoking... and now I just do the work and if I lose it, who cares? but atleast I'm actually doing it. most of it.... heh
One example of how pot can help slightly psycho people like me.

[azalea]

I disagree, Sminty, I don't think Ruinel's encouragement was artificial at all, I believe she was being quite sincere.
The fact is that if you make self-depricating comments, people are automatically going to offer advice or encouragement, it's human nature (or socialization, depending on your philosophy, I guess ). If you don't wish to be the recipient of that kind of thing, my suggestion is that you avoid putting personal stuff like that in your posts. Otherwise, you can just expect that someone will respond accordingly, in which case you could just ignore it.
Likewise, if people want to compliment you in their posts, that's their right. You can either accept it graciously or, again, ignore it.

Like Lizra said. And I'm probably the most least likely person to give a false compliment. O_o Mostly because I hate it when people give that false crap to me. I seem to believe criticism more than compliments from people. I know that's messed up. But that's just me. So, either take what I said or not. It's up to you. *shrugs*
