if you're really kinky I guess you could ride a mophead, Harry Potter?
But I'd neither ride a fat chick, a moped, or a mophead.
And I've had I license to smoke for 5 years, not that, that allowed me to begin smokin.
My neighbor Bobby Bunch smoked me out at 11.
Actual report after 40+ years of partaking in the herbal cure?
I'm in better shape than most people my age of less, that I can see.
Can I attribute it all to the cronic? Now that's wouldn't be fair to my genetics. And I don't eat just anything, cause it tastes good.
Did it have anything to do with STOP!.. hey there what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin down... yea I'd say so.
Also, "question authority", "make love not war" silly things like that.

I make no claim to being a doctor. I'm just advocating honesty. If you want to get high, that's fine with me. I just know that there are a lot of people who want to get high, who use pretty lame excuses for a medical "ailment", who want to use marijuana for illnesses that are much more effectively treated with other therapies. There is a place, I believe, for medical marijuana, but it's for terminal AIDS patients, cancer patients, and glaucoma, as far as I've been able to figure.
In my teens and twenties, I sold to my friends, who, like me, liked to get high. They never hid behind any medical ailment, they just wanted to get stoned. I haven't gotten high in a very long time, but I certainly remember that I liked the feeling of being high, and I didn't pretend that I had any "ailment".
Regarding drivers who are impaired, yeah, I'd agree a person with a cell phone stuck in their ear is impaired. A tweeker is impaired, and a person stoned by smoking weed is also impaired. A drunk is impaired, and I just don't want to share the road with an impaired driver, drunk, stoned, or distracted by a cell phone.
And, pohaku, I noticed you had nothing to say about the National Institutes of Health website. Smoking dope is not a benign health activity, and it certainly won't improve your health. I'm not arguing against marijuana at all. I'm just advocating honesty and integrity. If you want to smoke tobacco, that's fine with me, just don't try to convince me that it's good for you.
In the beginning of this thread, Beachboy asked who was for or against a Cannabis Club in Puna, and why? I'm for it.
How do I know?
Aloha! ;-)

[  ] I am all for it!
Viva la revolution ![8D]
OK OK, there is one draw back..
LeeE Posted - 01/11/2008 : 07:32:19 "Maud, re. your thoughtful post.
Yes, heavy pot smokers in some instances, develop a mild form of bronchitis. It goes away two weeks from cessation of smoking."
It's called the "Puna Hack", but you pretty much have to be smoking all day long, real good ****. And that usually it's only during harvest time.[ ]
Mgeary, maybe it's time you smoked another one you seem to be confusing honesty with reality.[ ]
You smoke enough too much pot and it does nothing. You have to dry out for a week. No withdrawal cramps and other than a, "where did I hide that bud?" momentary diversion it's not, NOT an addictive "drug" anyway. Contrary to whatever the "National Institute of Health" has to say. As if any of them smoke pot.
The whole point is there need NOT be a medical excuse to smoke lettuce.
Shoots talk about driving under the influence? Try peaking on some window pane in a snow storm, crossing the continental divide.
Having a license to smoke medically doesn't preclude you from operating a vehicle. In fact you could prove it with a swab,but then you couldn't give it a percent to body content like alcohol because it effects everyone differently.
AND, it depends on what quality your smoking. If you're smoking lau lau you won't be stoned by the time you get to your car. If your smoking crip you won't be thinking about going anywhere.

I agree, I do not want to share the road with someone who is stoned. In the same way I do not want drunk drivers on the road. ("Friends don't let friends drive drunk.") Impairment, to whatever degree, is still impairment. It doesn't mean pot should be illegal, but what it does mean is that we use the same criteria when we judge issues, paint with the same brush so to speak. Saying alcohol or cellphone use is MORE dangerous is irrelevant. It's about taking responsibility for our own and others' lives. Don't drive under the influence. Period. My experience has been that driving under the influence of pot is a very different experience from driving sober. Sometimes it works for you, as when you're paranoid and you imagine that a police car is following you so you overcompensate and drive very carefully. Sometimes it works against you as when your mind is a million miles away from concentrating on your driving. Yes, the accident statistics don't reflect DUI of marijuana as significant, but I've been there and know there are accidents waiting to happen.
Good reason to gave a legal place, "club", coffee shop? ie. Amsterdam?
Not that there would be a reason to leave the peace and comfort of your own home to partake. Unless you was out and needed to, buy some? OMG!
But in reality it should be same cost as a head of lettuce.[^]

Against!
60 Minutes explains - http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/09/2...1715.shtml
Puna can't control - trash, drunks, violence, squatters, atv's, speeders, frogs, thieves, mold, mildew and we expect it to control POT! I think NOT! That IS the honest reality!

Again, great posts all around.
With all due respect, imho, NIDA is a lying, prohbitionist sack of sh-t, as is so much of their "research".
NIDA is a front for the drug warriors in Washington and Virginia.
Check the norml.org for balanced (as in truthful), info, plus marijuananews.com site for credible, non-politicized studies.
Whether your talking about the Le Dain Commission or DEA Administrative Judge Francis Young, the conclusions tend to be pretty much the same.
Ciao!
Come on 60 minutes7 CBS? the boob tube?
Perpetuation of the propaganda that keeps pot illegal. This benign substance actually, compared to alcohol and nicotine, the 2 largest legal KILLERS.
Wake up and smell the buds, stick in your pipe.
It's not going to kill you to smoke all you can and pass out on the couch. You won't even wake up with a hang over.
100+ new drugs readily available from the DRUG store. Hello? Vicodin?
What we need is truth not the same BS sewn in to the same old fabric of lies.
There was a bounty on hemp set by the King of England over the colonies, to control the much need plant. The King asked why there was none forth coming?
Ben Franklin told the king there wasn't enough to satisfy the colonies needs.
The war on drugs is over. After eight decades of interdiction, prohibition and punishment, the results are in: There are now more than 330,000 Americans behind bars for violating drug laws. We are spending over $20 billion per year on criminal-justice approaches, but illegal drugs are available in greater supply and purity than ever before.
Cynical phrases such as "zero tolerance and drug-free society" substitute for thoughtful policies and realistic objectives. It's time for a change.
The drug war has been most efficient at filling up the country's prisons and jails: In all, there are 440.00 prisoners in locals jails, 840,000 in state prisons and another 87,00 in federal prisons.
(Add to that 2.7 million citizens on probation and more than 500,000 on parole.)
This represents by far the highest proportion of the American population incarcerated in our history, as well as the highest population incarcerated of ANY country in the world.
Who kidding who about who's making money of the the continued policies? let's get real.
