4merper4mer Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) What did I tell you about jokes ? Cut them out of your shtick and your credibility would rise by 20% You and Tom are terrified of pot, cool. 2/3rds of people under age 50 support legalization, clocks ticking. Clocks ticking until when? Until our once great country is full of stoners sitting around while we devolve into oblivion? Something about a dispensary rings a bell and I will go back and look it up but without context I don't know anything about dispensaries. Sounds like a pharmacy; is he a pharmacist? Edit: I went back to his original post in this recreational pot thread where he lists a multitude of undocumented assertions about medical marijuana in an attempt to refute assertions about recreational marijuana. You may remember it if your short term memory is holding up but I linked it just in case. I had glossed over the dispensary blurb as I focused on the litany of ridiculous statements such as: Given that the worldwide pharma market was estimated at $962 billionin 2012 it would be hard to steal trillions even if pot literally cured everything. I suppose he could have meant over multiple years, decades or perhaps eternity, but measurements like that are usually given in annual terms so you can see how I was distracted by this and the rest of the list. Thanks to your angrily worded but informative post, I went back and typed "dispensary" in Google. Among other things, it appears to mean "pot store". From MW online dictionary: Patient: Now if my doctor somehow told me that I needed medicinal Starbucks coffee for some reason, would I be a patient of the barista, or would I still be a patient of my doctor? I'd think I'd be a customer to that barista as I would be to a pharmacist. You can see how I was confused when he kept referring to people as his patients. Maybe that is splitting hairs but words have meanings. Based on his comments about UCLA I am guessing he is in Cali. As far as I know, Cali only permits medical marijuana so all of the people coming through the dispensary are sick and are patients of someone, but unless he is a doctor.....they are not patients of his. Now in Colorado I am sure these dispensaries have medicinal clients who I would call customers to the dispenser, but what would we call non-medicinal customer/proprietor relationship? Customers: Addicts? Junkies? Enthusiasts? Supplier: Pusher? Dealer? Source? Candy Man? When I did my dispensary research this popped up on the first page of a Google search. It looks like the dispensary business is a tough one even though pot never ever ever ever has been linked to any deaths. I truly and sincerely hope he has taken measures to protect his security and that of his workers. Being naive and idealistic has uses in life, but so does realism about what can happen when you have drugs in a place everyone knows about. Just a re-post because Ryan doesn't like edits. Sorry Ryan, hope this helps. Edited January 14, 2014 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Does smoking too much pot cripple a person's sense of humor? Abuse of anything is bad. Dolts to steal a word from you, might not understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut them out of your shtick and your credibility would rise by 20% You and Tom are terrified of pot, cool. 2/3rds of people under age 50 support legalization, clocks ticking. I couldn't care less about pot (and in fact, I have two relatives who I think should be smoking it for medicinal purposes). I'm just extremely amused by the recreational users like yourself who get all elitist about getting high. Particularly when they represent the dopiest third of the population and are walking advertisements for avoiding drug use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Can u give a good reason people smoke cigarettes or drink beer ? Don't need a good reason. There's no good reason to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes or pop adderall but those are just fine for most folks. People enjoy doing what they want, my recreation time is for me.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) You haven't straightened anyone out. Has anyone here given one good reason for its recreational use? Waiting on that good reason to recreationally drink and recreationally smoke cigarettes...clocks ticking. 1 of of every 5 deaths annually are tobacco related. About 10% of those are from people who dont smoke, but died from others smoking around them. Thats how bad they are, you dont even have to smoke them to die from them. http://www.cdc.gov/t...ets/fast_facts/ Alcohol use (not including deaths from drinking and doing something dumb), this is just consumption, kills about 88,000 people per year. http://www.cdc.gov/a...alcohol-use.htm Here is the total number of people who have died from overdose or excessive use of marijuana: ZERO...EVER...IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD http://www.huffingto..._n_3860418.html So once again, please grace us on your reasoning of why its acceptable to recreationally drink and recreationally smoke cigarettes and why its not acceptable to use cannabis...I am waiting...anyone? Here are some other links to things about Cannabis, including Dr. Sanjay Guptas report http://www.cnn.com/2...mind-marijuana/ http://www.drugpolic...about-marijuana Oh damn, theres that pesky thing called "facts" again that always derail the mindless rants around these parts lol Edited January 14, 2014 by Alphadawg7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a dispensary...that means its my business to know anything and everything about my industry. I am also a real estate investor. And they are called patients in CA, not customers. And its very much like being a pharmacist as cannabis is substantially more scientific than your feeble mind can fathom and its VERY necessary to assist patients with very specific needs. Strains very WIDELY in affects and how they can affect an individual. And when you deal with HIV patients, Cancer Patients, MS patients, Siezure patients, and all kinds of people with very specific medical needs, you need to know and fundamentally understand each and every product from strains, consumables, capsules, etc. And Einstein, I guess math isnt your best subject. When I said big pharmacy potentially stands to lose Trillions...are you so stupid to think that applies to a single year? So who cares if the estimated pharma number is $962 billion per YEAR. Its not the ONE YEAR impact, its the permanent impact moving forward forever. Man, you really cant help but make yourself sound more ridiculous with each post. And those are not numbers I made up, do some research. Yes I am in Cali, and one of my colleagues is a doctor and a lead at UCLA Breast Cancer research center and one of the main people to educate me on the medical and science aspects of cannabis. Your general prejudice to a mass of people is comical, and would suggest that the odds of you being racist and a bigot are as high as the people you hate.
