Marijuana is now legal in large parts of the USA. the entire West Coast. Maine and Massachusetts. will you partake in this? personally, I would have to wait to make sure the stuff is regulated well and checked for (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up additives and impurities. then, maybe then, I might just have some fun.
My choice wasn't in the poll. I smoked it plenty when I was younger but I really don't care for it. I'm surprised at how many of my old, as an age, friends smoke it and they always try to get me to smoke with them.
It might be nice to go to one of those states and smoke or vape some cannabis sativa legally. I smoked a bit when I was young whipper snapper in the late 60s and liked the effect. Later on I tried it once more but it was indica, which I did not care for as it made me lazy feeling. The sativa gave me energy, and was just better. I live in the south and the south will be the last part of the US to legalize it. So I would never use the stuff down here, for they like locking your up, and creating all sort of legal persecutions, delighting in punishing people who exercise the basic right of owning ones own body. I guess they think they own my body and will punish me if I use something they do not like. I always found this absurd, and horrible, the state owning my body, when surely we each own our bodies. But they only want to own it when it comes to consuming something they do not want us to consume. Yet if we do not have that basic right, then rights just do not exist really. For it is the most basic right. And if they can take that away, which they have, those other rights are easily taken away.
Never done a joint in my entire life; in fact I've never even tried cigarettes which is a good thing since many of my peers who've been smokers of both ciggies and/or joints have or have had some type of cancer, notably lung cancer.
I dunno....I would think that if one smoked as many joints as another who smoked cigarettes, the risk of lung cancer would be similar. - - - Updated - - - The best way to guarantee quality is to just grow it yourself....It's a weed.
There isn't the connection between pot and lung cancer as it is with tobacco. Different plant. Pot is the safest mind altering substance and there has never been a death from overdose as with alcohol. Kids should not smoke it, but then kids should not get drunk either. I think it would help some people chill out and do something in regards to them being ********s. Generally the people who never tried it and want to jail people for smoking it are the people who need it the most. To turn them into better human beings.
These are very successful retired people. They are liberal and conservative and I do not give up my friends easily. I am, if anything, loyal.
I've never smoked, drugged or drank in my life, I suppose it's because I'm such a stubborn strongminded mofo. Nothing wrong with medicinal drugs, it's just the abusers who get it a bad name. "Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing" (Ezekiel 47:12) PS- Tried a few sips of booze and wine in my early teens but it all tasted like cat pee and I've avoided it ever since. Nothing wrong if others want to drink, it's not evil and it was served at the last supper where Jesus said "The next time I drink wine I'll be drinking it afresh with you in my fathers kingdom" That's me out then (sniffle)
Didn't really agree with your choices, but I'll say that I voted FOR legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado, and it has been a success. I don't smoke it, or anything else, personally, but I love the TAX REVENUE it provides the state. This is very important, and I only wish that we would sell every bit of it that we can before it become legal everywhere. People fly in here from all over the country to have "marijuana vacations", and then they take a lot of it home with them. That part is against the law in most other states, and I hope it stays that way for a while longer so that we in Colorado can HOG the tax revenue....
My thing is, I wonder if it will be easier for those of us with felony convictions for marijuana, to gain pardons in the states with Legalization on the books.
I did it a few times socially in high school and college, but never enjoyed it much. I'm glad it's being legalized. The laws against marijuana do more harm than good, but I would like to see a concurrent media campaign to tell people that this doesn't mean it's healthy, only that a punitive approach isn't helping. Marijuana use is associated with lung cancer.
Do Americans need a Federal Law to know that it's better not to commit suicide? Sometime I don't understand Americans. If I consider something unsafe I don't care a nut if it's legal or not. Now I infer that once something unsafe becomes legal because of a Federal Law ... Americans will consume it, considering this a patriotic American duty!
More concentrated. A lot of it get's decomposed in stomach acid though. If you get it into your intestines without going through the stomach, more will get into your blood stream. You'll get an even greater high. I think all pot-heads should try that approach.
I'm actually for legalization, but I would never smoke weed. I don't - and won't ever - smoke tobacco either, as I have more important things to spend my money on.
There are thousands of chemical compounds in any kind of smoke, including dozens of known carcinogens. http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancers-in-general/cancer-questions/does-smoking-cannabis-cause-cancer
the longest person to have lived was a smoker, I am convinced stress, lack of activity and obesity are the number one killers.. smoking relieves stress is, so in that it could help some live longer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment "Calment smoked cigarettes from the age of 21 (1896) to 117 (1992)"
Fair enough, tho' it's only one person. How many people do you know that died of smoking related issues, including lung cancer, in their 50's and 60's??? I know quite a few unfortunately.
