FortKnox94 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 @Offside#76FredSmerlas You may be the dumbest person to have ever opened their cobweb infested mouth. For one, it is almost indisputable the number of negative effects alcohol has in relation to marijuana. You are stuck in refer madness mentality my ill informed friend. Let me ask you a question or two..if you ever went to any real parties where real drinking went on, you would know drugs come out in abundance there. That said, most can agree that it is not uncommon to see/ hear of someone doing harder drugs like cocaine, painkillers, benzos, etc. More times than not the decision is influenced by raw alcohol intake. If you’ve ever smoked bud, you’d know that you’d just want to munch and maybe take a nap after getting all your s*** done. Also, open your mind to the fact that the pharmaceutical companies and constantly-lobbied politicians on multiple levels have their own agenda/ reputation at stake. Do you think it would do many medical industries favors to consume a substance nationwide with no need for prescription, essentially lowering the need to lean on medical insurance for supplementation? Meaning less copayments for those with health insurance towards pills, etc. All food for thought.

Bro, if you've never rolled up a "hog-leg", fired it up and a taken such a hit that you feel like your chest is on fire and your eyes want to pop, and then sat down with a good ol' bowl of sugar coated frosted flakes, then you just don't know what you're missing.....

Everything is bad if abused, yes, everything. Moderation is the key to a successful life. Once again, shallow insults are not necessary. Immensely critical thing to say people who take prescription drugs are using it as a crutch. Not a subscriber to psychopharmacology?

Every single conservative I’ve ever met (my entire family is chock full of them) has one thing in common: A complete and total inability (or absolute refusal) to empathize with those who are different from them. They live in their bubbles (99% of the time privileged bubbles) and no other perspectives in this complicated world matter. Their views are superior and everyone must live by them. Those who don’t are simply inferior and/or are living their lives wrongly.

Your emotional response to the use of irony is really telling about your personal need to defend marijuana. The problem is that i wasn’t attacking marijuana. In fact, if you go throughout this entire thread, you will not find me attacking pot or even positing an opinion of that plant. Rather, what I was doing with my post that went over your head was showing that the argument “don’t knock it unless you’ve tried it” is stupid and has no validity in a genuine discussion about anything, including marijuana. That being said, you prefer a real, demonstrable example of things that we, as a society, can knock without having tried... here’s a couple: 1- Cocain 2- Heroin 3- Suicide 4- Murder 5- Rape 6- Eating contaminated meat 7- telling your wife that those pants do make her butt look fat 8- licking an electrical outlet 9- investigating the clogged mower deck while the blades are on 10- sex with animals 11- etc. As you’ll see from this list, and from the context of my original post, and the use of irony that again, went over your head, there are many many things we as a society and as individuals can condemn without ever having tried them.

Funny how you are criticizing "conservatives" for having a "refusal to empathize with those who are different" and yet you yourself go on to take shots at "conservatives" with blanket statements like they're over privileged or that they're superior... While sounding arrogant and "superior" yourself. This isn't a "Liberal vs Conservative" debate man, but FTR, liberals have no problem judging, demeaning, and belittling conservatives either... But back to the topic at hand.... Depression, anxiety, stress, mental illness, all sorts of issues are helped by medical usage of numerous drugs. Those drugs are NOT a "Crutch" they are aids to help people be able to function. The hard part about pot being argued as medicinal when these guys are doing it on their own is that there is no discussion with a Doctor to figure out dosage and regiment. There is such a thing as too much, and there is dependency that can come from over medicating, so it's a slippery slope. But the statement that people who need drugs to be even keel is flat out wrong and ignorant. I sincerely hope people who think that don't need to face situations where they themselves or their loved ones need medication, because watching people deal with anxiety, depression, and mental illness is very difficult. And if your stance on it is "they're just weak"... well then It's safe to say your loved one won't have the support system they need to get better. 1

I mean, the very definition of conservative is one who is averse to change and innovation. So you’re basically offended by someone who describes conservatives as exactly what they are by the definition of the word. Conserve the status quo. Why conserve it? What is your fear of progress? How else would you explain a conservative other than not having empathy for those who are different? If you had empathy for that person, why would you be against change that would benefit that person? If you interpret that as “taking shots” then you’re being oversensitive. All that said, based on your view of this topic, I don’t think you’re nearly as conservative as you say you are.

When I'm stretching, I feel like I'm on clouds. When I actually start working, I don't feel it. When the round ends, I start feeling it again in the minute or two break. My ex used to run marathons and she would keep a cookie in her pocket. She would eat pieces through out the run and it really helped her. So what you're saying is that it really does enhance performance...
