HotbearLVR - 2014-01-02 1:39 PM I don't have a wife yet, but I'm working on it, Smiley.  Can I dance?  Oh baby, I can cut a rug like Fred Astair on meth.




LOLOL



What's with all the drug references lately, you hitting up the pharmacy cabinet at work?





My dear, grumpy, but handsome husband never takes me dancing........................but if we lived in a commune............well...............I could have my cake and eat it too. HA. 

I haven't been dancing in about 10 years to be honest.   I'm not hitting the drug cabinet.....just very slow here today and I am going a little crazy from being cooped up inside.  Kinda punch drunk.

Oh hell no!   I had someone make an appointment so she could get something to keep her ears from popping while she flies to Cancun with her husband.  I saw another with a sliver in his finger earlier.  I just grabbed a tweezer and pulled it out.....probably about a $250 visit.  The rest are just colds and flu.  Those people come because they are "covered".

this cracks me up. the same people that are just skippy with this will hang a tobacco smoker from the highest tree....  

I suppose that some do.


I however do not care what you do, when you do it or for how long. I also do not care if what you choose to do negatively effects your life.

My litmus test is very simple.

Is what you are doing or proposing to do going to affect me?


If so, is it negative?

Other than that


Spark up a doob and enjoy.

You all really are stoned if you don't think pot ruins lives. I grew up in a very affluant part of the CO mountains. All the kids up there in the late 70's, early 80's did a lot of weed. You know how many of them ever became successful? Very few. I can think of one that was on the Olympic Ski Team that was this generation. They never had the drive or desire to do anything with their lives.

The kids from the same area that graduated in the mid to late 80's? Let's see..... stunt driver in Fast And Furious, etc.... ski coach for the US Olympic team... world renouned photographer... Hollywood talent scout.... head marketer for Professional Choice... District Attorney in Eagle.... well known Interior Decorator in Chicago.... past Olympic freestyle ski jumper that now commentates all the Olympics and World Cup events for freestyle and bumps..... The list goes on and on. The difference was my generation saw their older siblings totally screw their lives up getting stoned all the time so we never followed that path.

Meanwhile the earlier generation is still getting stoned, saying how they wish they never would have started but are too addicted to stop now. Many have tried to stop, they can't.


I'm not saying this to brag. It's a simple fact that the stoners never had the drive to do anything. High paying or high profile jobs don't make a person. But you have to have a desire to accomplish something in life and all the stoners I know don't have that.


As for the whole tax thing... that's a farce too because they are trying to make it where you can grow 5 pot plants for personal consumption. Who on God's green earth needs 5 pot plants for personal consumption? No one.... unless all they plan on doing is being stoned 24/7. Yep.... I can totally see how being that stoned would turn you into a pillar of energy and desire to accomplish anything.

Oh wait! Maybe that's the idea.... let people be that stoned LEGALLY and they won't care what the government does so the government can turn around and raise the income tax rate to 80%. People will be to lazy, complacent and they simply won't care enough to fight it.

You see Scott, that issue right there is my big disconnect.


Does an individual "NEED" five plants?

no, but here's the rub.

If I want five plants, and it's not hurting you one little bit, it's non of your &#@( business if I have them.

Now, I can already see that you or someone else that will make the argument that it will hurt them because I may drive impaired, I may go to work in my job impaired and hurt someone.

But I may also down a fifth of vodka and do the same thing. See the hypocrisy?

Actually the hypocrisy is that it was sold as a huge tax revenue to support schools due to how high the tax rate would be when people purchased it on the market. So a bunch of people voted yes to legalize it.

Now they are saying, well you can grow 5 plants for personal consumption. If you are growing 5 pot plants, then you won't be purchasing your weed and paying taxes which was how this thing was sold to the public in the first place.

The first pot fest they had at the capitol ended in something like 2 shootings, 3 stabbings and a dog being killed.

Yes.... it was a peaceful, stoner gathering I'd say.....

Do we think that making it legal changes the amount of users?  
They'll never be able to control the home grown mj...can't control the seeds...well, unless, they do away with 'heirloom seeds'!  Lol...they can do that now, I guess.  So that would explain part of the "why now?".
Prohibition of any kind is un-American.  A free people should be allowed to pick their poison...and the good Lord knows that we ALL do in one form or another...

Welll, it's on my bucket list! Just once! But I don't plan on driving all the way to Colorado to purchase it! It worked for Steve Jobs or so he insinuated! Personally I don't think it makes all people lazy and non ambitious! I think people that have problems with addiction are looking for a crutch or excuse! Don't see anything wrong with making MJ legal! I have lived with an alcoholic but I don't want to stop having my occasional Rita or Bud Lite because some yahoo doesn't know when to stop!
