In "Reefer Madness'' a story was told of a young man who after a single joint axed parents to death. I therefore discourage my children from partaking in pot parties.

Where will you put your stock holdings? In Iraq, basically in the middle east?

I'll give you this.... Mark Twain: "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."

The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party:
Stop the madness before us it stops!

I usually munch out on fruits. Apples and watermelon are great for cotton mouth.

One time when I was in college, we passed a bong around and watched "Reefer Madness."

Aren't you a little old to be a stoner, Hev? I gave that crap up when I was still in my early 20s.

Let me go check the age limit on this stuff I'm smoking.... nope, this bag doesn't have one.

At what age do you stop drinking alcohol mytmouse? Or riding a bike? Or playing video games?

I do all those things too.

I don't drink anymore either. Haven't in years.

Yes, I still ride a bike and play video games. But the last two don't involve putting intoxicating chemicals in my body.

It's your choice, man, don't get me wrong. I just find it odd that anybody over, say 25 or 30, would want to smoke dope or drink.


But like I said, those are personal choices. And as long as somebody isn't boozing or smoking so much they become a public danger or wreck their health and expect society to foot the bill for their blood transfusions and organ replacements.. then I suppose it's all good.

Why do you find it odd? I find it odd that people would stop. Life is crazy and pot might be a sweet gift from God to the people.

I suppose it's all good anyway. Let's just help people regardless and this country will be a better place.

Agreed.

I think it's alright to continue to do whatever you enjoy. When it comes to alcohol and smoking, when you get older, I think it would be more normal to "cut down" on the stuff...Not make it an everyday thing like back in college.
