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 know I replied to this already but yeah. re-reading some posts her and I guess I didn't really address it. I *don't* do the whole 'cool people have these traits' and 'uncool people have these traits'-in terms of clothing, status, looks, popularity and such. Losers(as labeled by society.... the people pretty people dont talk to) are some of the coolest people, beautiful people really. Awesome, if they had better looks and in result better social skills they could be really... I dunno... Many of them who don't try to aspire to what society says is cool... wonderful character. Individuals. I like helping them out a little.... especially with the guys. A little female interaction and encouragement that isn't pushing on them to be like the mainstream, 'popular' kids can do wonders. A lot of the guys are still stuck in the 'well girls would like me if I acted THIS way', because, well, a lot of girls are superficial like that. I know some kickass kids who are wayyy underappreciated.

I mean for me I think someone is cool if I respect them for their minds and personality. The very few kids my age who, that I know of, actually think and are deep (and not full of bs just to sound smart) or not conforming to what other people expect them to be like... most of these kids smoke pot. I don't know why. Maybe they have a harder time with being in the environment of someone their ages, dunno. Yeah you're probably like well you must be pretty stupid to wilingly hurt your body/lungs/whatever. I guess that means they dont really care. Eating cake is bad for you...

The only reason I'm a broke smoker is because I'd be broke anyways, whether I smoke or not. I'm too young for a job and I make money doing chores around the house, which I reedily spend on cd's or cheap jewelry anyways. So buying a blunt a week makes me broke for that week....

I dunno what my deal is. I'm pretty much sexaphobic but when it comes to everything else, I don't really care. I'll probably stop indulging in pot at all, eventually. But sometimes it's all I can do to keep my brain from eating itself

Sminty, you brought up some good points. To see beyond the physical is a precious gift. Beauty is inside.

I had a smoke before the Two Towers Premiere in Dec 2002 when Luthien, some 17 year old cutie dressed up for the costume contest (An a winner by the way) lit up and passed it to me. Suddenly it was 1976 again... when the de-criminalization debate and all was going on then. Many states de-criminalized it, and today with the current medical aspects being passed in the states it has given rise to the debate again.

The trouble is the feds have it as a schedule 1 narcotic, so that over-rules any state laws when push comes to shove in court.

Ahhh, what a horrible poster! I can't STAND it! It's terrible!!
*runs away screaming*


(sends an "improper use of apostrophe" ticket to the poster maker - it should be "its", not "it's"!)

Whatever. Maybe you just don't appreciate moderation. Maybe you would be okay with everyone saying whatever they wish. When you buy Entmoot, or run it, you can make the rules IR, til then, live with it.

He was just being harmlessly sarcastic.

And the possessive form of "it" is "its"; not "it's", which is short for "it is".

Ni!

The poster reminds me of those hilarious films from the 30s or something showing innocent white girls getting spliffed up and getting it on with assorted darkies.

Interestingly, the boot is now on the other foot, IMO, with an increasing body of evidence of harm from cannabis use set against the mythology of the "harmless weed".

Yes, and it's the same case with the iconography - it's switched round, so that most of the popular culture you see about cannabis portrays it as cool. All those student rooms bedecked with posters about cannabis, those necklaces people wear, the T-shirts... Science won the harm debate, and drugs won the poster debate.

The misplaced apostrophe was the first thing I noticed too
