Are you talking about the McDonald's lady? She get's a raw deal. The **** that they sell as coffee in McD's had to be heated up to a very high heat to resemble java. The heat of the liquid was higher than what the styrofoam cup was rated for. It melted on her and seriously burned her. I would've sued too!
I didn't say "tobacco companies." Cigarette companies absolutely would. They already have the machinery in place to make pre-rolled "cigarettes." And traditional cigarettes wouldn't even experience a slight dip in sales. All cigarette smokers will not automatically start getting stoned. Also, when I smoked ciggies, I actually smoked more when I got stoned.
Untrue. Perhaps not physically addictive. And that's the point I was trying to make earlier. If these companies start to produce them, they will, no doubt, add chemicals to make it so.
People could become mentally addicted, but that goes back to psychology and having addictive personalities.
Hasty generalization....maybe?
I live in upstate NY. Marijuana laws aren't all that harsh, but different factors are taken into consideration.
For some, yes...while others would be able to take advantage of MORE opportunities by NOT being stoned.
Don't poke fun of a terrific movie! :rasp:
It's common knowledge, even among smokers, that it makes you a lazy bastard. Sure, maybe at first it gives you a rush, or if you do it inconsistently. But the problem is that it's addictive, so once your smoking daily it DEFINATELY interferes with your life.
The 'addictiveness' is all mental. Some people just choose to smoke pot, knowing that it makes you giggly, hungry, lazy, etc. They apparently don't have many concerns for their plans throughout the day if they're choosing to sit down and smoke a bowl, blunt, what have you.
Yup, it's not physically addicting. But did you know that cocaine is not physically addictive either? Just because it's "all mental" doesn't mean it's not damaging.
Your mind and body work together, but your mind and nervous system tell your body what to do.
You should try ingesting DiHydrogen Monoxide...talk about addictive. I can't live without it.
:goodpost: :toofunny:
They put that stuff in our babies' food!!! There's a Penn & Teller show called BULLSH!T where they debunk all this stuff and they got all these hippies to sign a petition to remove DiHydrogen Monoxide from our babies food and from our oceans. It was hilarious! The point they were trying to make was that people are "joiners" and will co-sign to all sorts of nonsense just to be part of a group. I also loved the myriad pictures of "anti_globalization" douches using cell phones. Priceless.
People will say anything to defense their stand on certain issues. Of course it's harmful, but not nearly as harmful as other things you would smoke, snort, inject, whichever.
Or nearly as harmful as a government trying to tell you how to live your life and what you can put into your body.
We need a revolution.
I don't think this current generation has the stomach for a revolution.
Careful, I hear that stuff can become hydrohydroxic acid quite easily.
Too much of ANYTHING is harmful, whether it's red meat, fruits, alcohol, sex, television, steroids, eggs, etc.
That we do.
+1, the Pussification of America is nearly complete.
For drugs that arent biologically addicitive, like Marijuana, Testosterone, World of Warcraft, Abusive Girlfriends, and driving like an *******, it's all about self discipline and respect for yourself and those around you.
Really? There is no evidence of this in this thread. Just a lot of opinions, guesses, stabs in the dark and straight falsehoods. The whole thing is moot anyhow but the brotelligence (whatever happened to Strateg0s?)is flying fast and furious in this thread.
I agree. You see some people that can handle drinking a beer. Some can handle going out to a club and getting **** faced. Others can't handle any of it.
I've never thought about it that way before.:blink:
I should be breaking out my book sometime tomorrow. There will be no arguing against the facts determined by doctors, scientists, and psychologists. I'm sure that you will learn several things that you didn't know before. Hell, I've smoked marijuana plenty of times and plan on smoking it many more, and I even learned a lot of things that I didn't know.
Just refer to your response to my "I go by facts" statement.
Are you saying that once someone is addicted, they are completely lost and are incapable of breaking that addiction? I wasn't saying that steroids/drugs/whatever arent addictive, but that not falling into the trap of addiction, or breaking that addiction, as to do with personal responsibility and finding strength within yourself to overcome.
Reefer Madness.
I thought that was an educational film......from like the 50's.
Aren't most films made from them book-thangs?
Nope, it was a propaganda piece from the 1920s talking about the harmful effects of marijuana.
Coincidentally, I was just flipping the channels and came across a show where these celebrities are going through rehab and the Dr. specifically mentioned androgenic/anabolic steroids and marijuana as being addictive. I believe it was Dr. Drew Pinsky.
lol, you're talking about a show on VH1 that is in place for ENTERTAINMENT.
Thanks! I'm sure I can learn a lot from you guys... there is definately a learning curve with regard to all the acronymes used for supplements here.
