frank 2,145 Posted April 20, 2018 Agreed. And why are pot smokers so vocal and admit they do it, as though it's cool. It's illegal. Like meth. And it's the same level of "cool" Also, what % of heroin, meth, coke and acid addicts have smoked marijuana? What % of them have tried orange juice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How would you if they weren't vocal and did it in the privacy of their home? You really think marijuana is on the same level as meth, coke and heroin dude? D.A.R.E got you. I RARELY smoke now and haven't today. But back in school I would burn it down with my friends all the time. Never missed class and always performed well in school. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I and many others care about the cultural significance of St Patricks Day. It's a great day for the Irish. Irish Step dancers, bagpipes, and the music. All a big part of it.

Why didn't I think of that!!! I believe a high enough % of people have tried recreational marijuana that the gateway drug myth has been debunked. According to some research, alcohol and tobacco are far more likely culprits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
listen2me 23 1,542 Posted April 21, 2018 Weed is okay as long as you don't let it define you. Like how cheeseburgers are okay as long as you don't let it define you. As is gambling if you don't let it define you. As is alcohol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While somewhat true, you’re gonna make a lot of ignorant assumptions if you rely on them, possibly to your and the stereotyped individual’s detriment.

When the words "stereotype" is used, I think of it as "generalized truths that many do not like to hear--especially those that are a part of the group being stereotyped, because that truth is usually negative in nature" I might add that most stereotypes are derived using statistics, life experiences, and the simple every day "eye test" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted April 22, 2018 I've said it numerous times over the years on this bored but having been in advertising sales for 25+ years I met numerous successful people who smoked weed,fast food franchise owners,financial advisors,shoe store owners,attorneys etc. and the one thing we all had in common was a drive to be our own boss and most importantly knowing there was a time to work and a time to play. I don't know the statistics(I assume the worthless,lazy potheads outweigh the others) but I do know that lumping all partakers of weed in any form together is nothing but a bunch of BS (and as pen said) created by fear and ignorance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
