BC is kind of weak, like 3/5. Try something strong like OG Kush or NY Diesel. Those will put you on your butt.

BC .. Bud weak...? .....Not according RCMP on our Island...Its the strongest that they came accross !!

LOL..  thanks texasmom..  I will take that in the spirit it was said in.

Oh come on, Lazs- you and I both know the effects of pot are much, much milder than the effects of alcohol. I'm not trying to justify the use of pot or condemn the use of alcohol, and ultimately it's the user who makes bad decisions that effect us all, and yeah, I wouldn't want to work next to someone who is baked, but seriously- alcohol causes more damage to society than pot does, by far.

Now don't make me cut and paste stats, Lazs.

Texasmom? Lazs is a pretty good guy in person, too.

From the paramilitary raid gone bad thread:

Suave, care to explain to us how marijuana is the cause of much evil that plagues us?  I'd really like to hear your reasoning, I'm sure it'll provide a few good laughs.   

::edit:: anyone should feel free to voice their opinions too!

alchohol causes many many more problems than pot ever will.

airhead.. who are you jerking around?  I have smoked pot that damn near paralyzed me.   Tests have been run on people loaded on pot and those drunk on a closed driving course and there was no difference.

Once a pot head friend of mine (great race car driver btw) and I were out with him driving his pumped up 56 Nomad (370 hp LT1 motor).. he stopped at the light.. I didn't say much but the light was green.. he waited till it turned red then took off.   His reply when I told him was classic pot head...

"huh"?

No.. I do not want to share the road with drunks and pot heads.. even tho I can still dodge and weave pretty good.

and if yas were drunk, you would've kicked the hell out of each other....IF he had stopped for the light to begin with. neither one of ya should've been in the car anway.....not in that condition anyway.
if you smoked some that almost paralyzed ya, then it was laced with something else, or bad to begin with. i wasn't condoning either one.....i used to drink some...and i've smoked too......don't do either now as i've learned better...and thank god that i never killed anyone.

  AMEN  Brother, AMEN !.......Best answer, as far as pot goes...No!!!...Yes, Booze too 

[lazs2]

all I can say is that if you have never smoked any pot that put you into the dirt and made you incapable of action then you have never smoked any good pot.

If you think that booze is much worse than pot so far as incapacitating someone then you have never really had any experience with the two drugs and... you have never seen any studies done on driving while on the two drugs.

I guess if they limited the use of legal pot to the crap lousy stuff you are smoking then they wouldn't need to regulate it's use at all.    Just like if they limited all drinks to 1% alcohol.

what the statistics dont show you about marijuana related accidents is that some hot shot kid with a 30 day old license is the one speeding around showing off his moms car to his friends.  just because pot is found in the car, doesnt imply someone was smoking it either.  i dont see it to impare one that much, but everyones different, thats just my argument.  i think both sides of the argument are biased... ive even seen a video where one does a driving test before and after smoking pot, and the results show that he was better off after smoking a doobie   been a while since i smoked... ah the good ol days

The hunger for more is what drives men forward. Without this hunger there would be no innovation, no discovery, no free enterprise and no social evolution.

It's laziness and envy that turn men evil.

The hunger for more is ok   Greedhe other hand is "root of all problems".....Our leaders and corperations shipping jobs to China=Greed
Companys like Enron=greed....oil companys=Greed 123 bllion in profit is not enough...Folks taking advantage of our welfare system=Greed.....
Law makers making laws to benfit themselves=greed.....you could go on and on and on about greed but In my opinion this is what is killing America.
 Another thing is Dishonesty= Greed...not caring about your brother man=greed.....In this world its all about whats best for me and screw the rest!
Can't believe that pot is such a huge subject line on this disscussion....weed is that last thing I would think of in the title of"The root of all man's modern problems"

Greed is what happens when the hunger for more becomes so desperate that people are willing to compromise productivity, efficiency and progress to achieve it. It's the difference between an innovator and a drug dealer. Both grow rich, one grows rich while contributing to society, the grows rich while costing society.

I have no problem with billionaires. The more the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Here again....Example.......billio naires that keep pooring on the coals when many people suffer from their greed...Just one of many examples is oil.
it is killing the Middle class and lower class....yet they keep making billions while others suffer.Greed

[lazs2]

ahh.. so ritz.. you think you could do better in the driving course than either the drunks or the pot heads that both thought the others drug of choice was the more evil?   neither the pot heads nor the drunks did any better.. they were both equally lousy..

I don't care.. make all drugs cheap and legal.. just don't start telling me that you are fine while loaded on em and deserve to share the job site or road with me.   kid yourself but spare me.

And that is the root of the problem...  the druggies all want to have legal drugs but then the fantasy gets murky doesn't it?

You don't want to have to take any responsibility.   You don't want to have to admit you are impaired and that you can't just do your drug of choice anywhere and in any situation you want.   

you are not special.. you are loaded.. you are impaired.. you are not better.. you are less.

Legalize it.

The three biggest offences performed by a pot smoker:
#1 Thinks too much

#2 Can't figure out what channel too watch.

#3 Drives too slow in the fast lane.

I do not smoke myself anymore, but I believe alcohol much more dangerous IMOP.

Just remember kids, only users loose drugs!
