This is the first time I have seen this forum and I was thankful to see that there is a smokers lounge. Halleluiah. But all the posts are about weed. I am so tired of weed smokers thinking that getting high and smoking weed is better than smoking cigarettes. It's almost like they are elitist about it. Weed smoking can ruin your lungs a lot faster than cigarettes do. It also kills brain cells and makes you lethargic and stupid. I watched it happen with my ex and am watching it happen to a tenant. The 20 year old tenant just got home from the hospital with an ulcer, he throws up every morning and couldn't keep a job if he was chained to it. Just like my ex. Weed is ok if it's once in a while, even though I don't, but every day 6, 7 times a day? That resin has got to be going somewhere.

Don't patronize me. Since weed is illegal there hasn't been a lot of research done on it. Everyone I know who smokes weed can't even get a decent job because they can't pass a drug test. How much intelligence does it take to quit smoking and become more ambitious than to work for someone who doesn't test for drugs? They won't go to school and get an education. They think they can make a decent living? What kind of life can someone have if they smoke dope all day every day? I know it's cliche' but they don't call it "dope" for nothing.

your maybe a little right but also very rong, weed goes bach at least 170,000 years and was one of the first plants alngside bananaa that man started to cultivate, im new with weed about 5 years, and i was very aanti drug, until i started to read into the plants life giving propertys, chemo kills more than it cures, and is realy expensive, good for the drug companeys and the nasty polotics that get back handers to keep medical marijuna banned, my wife is a very cualified nurse and has seen with her own eyes a childe of 2y and an adult fully recover from a tumer in the brain, cancer free in 4 months, thanks to the wounderfull plant that produces THC, do you look both ways befor crossing the road?. JMO and im not being sarcastic or patronising im being realistic.

The way I see it ,smoking weed,just like smoking cigarettes, is every individuals choice...its not like its being forced on any one,that's a decision they make on their on...I'm not saying doing either is right or wrong,but I don't think its anyone else's right to tell me I'm wrong for blazing up...I mean,really?c'mon people...the good book says,judge not lest ye be judged...I'm sure everyone out there does something that the next person wouldn't agree with...only difference is its not rubbed in their faces ....and by who?the government...do u really wanna go through life abiding by man made rules that in the long run has no effect on the outcome of anyone's life....this is America,land of the free...not the land of the judged....if people would learn to accept that and stay outta everyone's business, I think everyone would be a lot happier...hey,if u don't smoke,or do drugs,that's great....more power to ya...but don't try to push your views on the ones that do....looking down your nose with a holier than though attitude just proves to me that y'all are close minded hypocrites!...

Some of you totally missed my point. I was saying that the pot smokers I know actually PUT ME DOWN for cigarettes as if what they do is so much better for you when they smoke it as much as I smoke cigarettes.
Let me tell you, I totally believe that weed should be legalized. I KNOW there are some extremely good uses for not just the drug, but the plant itself. It was a sham how it became illegal in the first place. The Hearst corporation and the logging industry saw it as a threat and railroaded it though the courts. I held a symposium on it in college. I also know the economy would be infused with a whole new influx of cash. Heck if we put all the money we saved and made on arrests, prison costs, taxes, police personnel, and sales we could pay off the national debt in about 5 years! Look at Colorado... I am sure someone will find a way to mess that up. But it is a landmark victory.
Back to my point....Who are they to tell me that they are any better than I am. At least I have all my faculties, can drive and educate myself many times over when these guys can't even gather the courage to go out and find a real job, let alone educate themselves.

On our right to know posters by every employers time clock bulletin board states the following or close to it;" If Injured on the job you have x amt. of days to report it and if having Illegal drugs or Alcohol in system at time of test, you will be denied coverage and lead to possible termination!" You can't eliminate liability but only lessen it. We have mandatory seat belt laws cause the car companies got tired of getting sued even though they've been in cars for 40 years so they got together with the Insurance companies to lessen their risk. Same with Booze and Illegal drugs like weed, coke, meth and Heroin also; social security now asks if you do weed and you'll get denied benefits cause of it!

True we will all die of something, you can say of skydiving, walking, running, taking care of a child, etc. I'd like to think my demise would have something positive come from it. What does Society accept more readily; Alternative Lifestyles or Illegal Drugs? The best performers in nature are ants and trees; they have a natural instinct to survive together not separate and it makes them stronger. We as Humans have that also but don't use it fully so we have cracks in the dam which will spill over. So It is YOUR choice and I don't have to live with it you do. Culling the Herd is what will happen!

Maybe someone should make one of those smoking devices like they had for tobacco.. Where it'll puff 20 joints at a time and collect the tars&resins that would be left in the average pot smokers lungs. I'd be intrested to see just how much tars&resins would be collected..
I'm all for medical marijuana.. But,until there are at a minimum the same regulations in place for Recreational use as there are for alcohol.. I'm against it.. Partially because I'm allergic to the smoke from the genetically modified marijuana of current "weed" And I definitely do not want anyone in the medical field that is useing operating or caring for me..
In Oregon driving is a "privelege" an I foresee the "state" stepping on one of my freedoms when the "state" decides to make blood testing manditory in auto accidents.. The "states compelling intrests" to find out who was at fault will over ride a "pot smokers" right not to incriminate themselves,as it does a drunk driver..
An intresting thoughr just occured to me.. If a drunk driver and a "weed smoker" got in an accident w/each other.. Who would be held at fault?? What would be the insurance rates for a "recreational weed" user? Can an insurance company even ask if you use? If you answer yes.. can you be denied auto insurance ..

Easy answer - The Legal Tobacco User would be at fault even if he/she was Not Involved! This is the Anti-Tobacco Moron's mentality...
Example: "Your second-hand smoke is killing me".
My answer: " Your hair spray contains more toxins then my second-hand smoke".
Any other stupid questions?

Just one.. Why are so many weed users so admant that their way is the only way,and refuse to have a rational conversation on the entire subject w/o resorting to tired old cliches?
My example was about "weed vs alcohol in an auto accident, who would be at fault.. it was also about wither or not "if an insurance company could refuse to insure a "weed user" or make insurance prohibitively so expensive "weed users" can't afford it..
At least tobacco users have rational conversations about the side effects of tobacco

Bronze; you're right but just not in Oregon. Driving is a Privilege in every state not a right. as for the pot vs. alcohol; both would be at fault but the potheads would suffer the greater Consequences here. Remember Colorado is the test bed for this experiment and so every state is taking notes. And the Democrats here were having a wet dream over this until the Republicans sided with the pot industry so they pay less taxes to the state, a very twisted situation indeed.

Excuse me??? As an enrolled Native American tribal member "Indians" did not put "pot" in a "peace pipe" (as un-educated individuals call it) the only thing that went into a pipe or calmute was kinnick or tobacco..
"Pot" wasn't used by the general Native Population.. It is possiable a few healers used it.. But, traditionally speaking; prior to the 1920's Natives did not..
Consider the following; How effective would a "stoned" hunter be? Could he provide all the basic needs for a family? Would any tribal member trust their life to someone that was "stoned"?
Could a "stoned" warrior be effective at defending tribal members or hunting grounds..
Native women desired honorable,brave,strong men.. Men that wouldn't bawl like a baby as some enemy's slowly roasting them alive over a fire,or building a fire on their man's belly just to see if he could stand the pain w/o crying out like a scared child..
On the otherside men wanted a woman that could endure almost as much hardship as he did,ie have a child on the trail,go hungery so the kids could eat, or be able to chose ig one is to be left so that the rest may live.. Yes Natives back in the day had hard lives.. Would pot have made it easier?? or harder?? We'll never really know.. Why?? Cause you can't apply today's values on what they did 50-100-200 years ago..

As for the growing of hemp prior to the "ILLEGAL EUROPEAN INVASION" of 1492..
I think only a few tribes grew it.. It was easier to make rope from other less labor intensive crops..
Inner cedar bark made durable rope for the N.W coastal tribes,desert grasses for the S.W.tribes,sedge grass for plateau tribes, willows, and the roots from many trees.. And the most commen of all "ropes" sinew or leather.. 1 cow hide has enough leather in it to make a 65' raita.. So, I have doubts as to wither many American Tribes were agrarian enough to include hemp alongside maize,squash,tobacco,beans.. It was labor intensive enough just to make sure these "winter/trade crops were taken care of enough w/o adding something that could be gathered w/ease from the forest/swamp/desert/river side.
Hemp is an introduced crop.. It came with the big sailing vessels thay brought the "European invaders" to this garden of eden..

This is my personal thought ... I personally think weed is better than cigarettes for multiple reasons
1.) you get a nice feeling with weed there's verious of types of weed you can smoke
A.) indica is the one you should take in the day or evening because it make you more active ( I personally talk alot)
B.) sativa is the one you should take at night it makes your tierd and relaxes you
2.) eating while you're high is the best thing ever, you can eat anything and everything and it will taste amazing
3.) you don't just have to smoke weed you can eat weed cookies or weed brownies or weed jolly ranchers ect ect so you can have a break on your lunges
A.) when you eat a ateable you get the most amazing feeling ever you can be watching something so stupid you'd laugh your butt off I enjoy it personally
4.) I personally think cigarettes doesnt really do anything to you besides give you lung Cancer and give you a hole in your neck
5.) weed can be completely legal if you can get a medical card (which I have)
Extra notes: I completely understand smoking weed 6 to 7 times a day is out of control I personally smoke atleast once a day maybe twice once in a while. But I get my weed from a club so it's really strong I remember getting it from people there's a big difference unless you get it from someone who really knows what their doing but that's rare to come across.....

1.) you get a nice feeling with weed there's verious of types of weed you can smoke I personally think cigarettes doesnt really do anything to you besides give you lung Cancer and give you a hole in your neck
But I get my weed from a club so it's really strong I remember getting it from people there's a big difference unless you get it from someone who really knows what their doing but that's rare to come across.....
You forget that nicotine gives a nice feeling because it calms the nerves of users. And you also forget there are folks who don't smoke but 'Chew' and 'Dip' tobacco getting the same 'High'.
Have you ever tried to grow your own weed and/or tobacco?

Some of you totally missed my point. I was saying that the pot smokers I know actually PUT ME DOWN for cigarettes as if what they do is so much better for you when they smoke it as much as I smoke cigarettes.
Let me tell you, I totally believe that weed should be legalized. I KNOW there are some extremely good uses for not just the drug, but the plant itself. It was a sham how it became illegal in the first place. The Hearst corporation and the logging industry saw it as a threat and railroaded it though the courts. I held a symposium on it in college. I also know the economy would be infused with a whole new influx of cash. Heck if we put all the money we saved and made on arrests, prison costs, taxes, police personnel, and sales we could pay off the national debt in about 5 years! Look at Colorado... I am sure someone will find a way to mess that up. But it is a landmark victory.
Back to my point....Who are they to tell me that they are any better than I am. At least I have all my faculties, can drive and educate myself many times over when these guys can't even gather the courage to go out and find a real job, let alone educate themselves.
Ok i understand that u are referring to the few that want to judge u for smoking cigs. I get that alot what i do is blow my blunt in there face an keep it pushing. Thats why they are stressed out on meds cause they have no happiness in their life. Although i indulge i educate myself daily an can hold down almost any type of job.

So you would expose someone to second hand Smoke to get your point across I'm guessing? Most cities and towns here have Anti Smoking anything in public places AND the Hospitals have decreed that you Can't even smoke on their Property Curb Included. Since your able to put liquid weed in a vapor they have been banned as well for both tobacco and pot smokers here.
I'll say this; if you want to smoke at a bar that's ok due to no food being served in there or kids allowed but the State and cities here make it difficult for people to actually do what they want. Sad yes but It's the price we pay for wanting what little Freedom we have left!

smoking marijuana has always been safer than smoking cigarettes, marijuana is a natural plant that grows from the ground like a flower. tobacco is filled with nicotine and thousands of other deadly harmful poisons and toxins influence your body. Are you need is a brain to know the difference you stupid twat. I'm sick as non-smokers on in their lives especially when they look so f**king stupid not knowing what they're talking about.

Such Close mindedness you have!
Richard L. Hilderbrand has published a column in our Sunday Paper; He is a Forensic Toxicologist now Retired with 30+ years experience dealing with Drug Abuse and the reduction of said Drugs for the Dep't of Defense and Mental Health Services Administration and the U.S. Anti Doping Agency as well. The article is called "The Truth About Legalization" It is a Very Eye Opening read to you Potheads about what can and can't be done in regards to the false premise that It's a Natural Medicine cause It's not!
Do take the time to find this article and read it at least twice so you can understand the Real Facts about Weed and other Substances also!

Richard L. Hilderbrand sounds like he doesnt know shit about marijuana. maybe he should do more research before writing rediculous articles in newspapers, he is going to give the newspaper a bad name with that bullshit, not only that but dumb people like phil buy into it and spread the bullshit around. there are zero recorded deaths from marijuana, and as for cancer, it is a potential cure for it, and as for lung cancer, new studies showed that TOBACCO smoking causes an increased risk for cancer, not marijuana. and its not illegal because of logging companies, its illegal because someone idiot named harry anslinger thought it made people go crazy and other idiots actually believed him. look it up.

He has treated soldiers and others from Addiction so at 28 whelps like you might have a chance to overcome the possibilities of long term Health Problems. In 1960 the Gov't made Tobacco companies put a label on their product yet people still to this day Smoke. Car Companies had to make seat belts a safety feature but people didn't listen either and were getting sued. As long as the end user, YOU use the seat belt then the Insurance company will pay up. Tobacco will be under that umbrella also; the settlement that the tobacco smokers won will still be a loss. Why cause tobacco has appealed so they will die before collecting. People are tired of hearing the Friendlyness of weed and other vices we as people do. You do it, you pay the price for it, smoke weed and pretty much nobody will care what happens to you and the system will blackball you for it. With the Requirement to have health insurance, the first things asked if you drink or do drugs; if you lie you get booted, sincerely wanting to Quit may help you. And by the way Mr. Hildebrand does know and yes people do die cause It alters the body's chemistry specifically the Brain forever; No Cure! People were Experimented on for the effects of certain narcotics and hallucinagens by... The Nazi's. Ask your Granparents how they felt about them!

dude , its the twenty first century, not like the "good old days" where people can lie and others believe it. there has actually been research, new research, on marijuana, PROVING it has ZERO bad side effects. are you harry anslinger reincarnated? LOL nazi's believed in communism, complete control over someone else's body just because they were different, your idea is similar only you claim to "help" people by scaring them with false information. your manipulation might have worked back in the day, but now we have research to prove just how harmless it really is. this has nothing to do with other "vices" this is about a plant, a leaf, you scared of a plant?

by the way, someday when it is finally legalized and recreationalized, it may be the only thing left to save our economy if regulated and taxed and distributed properly, and people call it "dangerous"

Well it'll never be "Legalized" due to the Federal Limitations and even Holland starting to impose penalties due to the citizens not working to improve the economy. As for the Nazi's; go to Idaho, Montana or North Dakota; The Skinheads and Neo-Nazi Movement is alive and well in those States. Is it any wonder why the German Government has outlawed them there while in America, Argentina and other Countries they thrive and Don't like people like you or others who Don't agree with their "Narrow Viewpoint" of the world only what they want not the Greater Good. Ask any older Jewish Citizen who has a Number Tattooed on any part of their body and they will tell you all about Dangerous! I just Chuckle/Sigh that if your the Future of America and your still of Draft Age, you'll prove you Don't want Freedom just Dependence on someone else calling the shots in what life you have so good luck kid; you'll need it!

Well since the last person to post(Above Me)decided to be Invisible(Nee Coward)I'll say this; Whatever that person has but wont make the argument has made you Potheads look foolish. If you can't have an adult discussion then you go Coward. I invite you and our 28 y.o. Biased little feller to step out and stand up for what you truly believe and show the published facts; but oh you have none just allegations which don't hold Water. Prove to me I should take your side on this but you Can't that's why you people Hide. You forget that the world looks in on this and some of you admit to smoking or Injecting yourselves with drugs. One guy here has no fear and is betting his job on it. Are you that Confident and can do that also??

Weed does NOT have medical benefits. they are a class 1 narcotic; highly addictive with no Medical Benefits Whatsoever. I'm thinking you either go to community college or in the folks Basement paying no rent or being productive for society. Bring actual facts from Genuine Medical Professionals and be willing to stand by them, not just say something which has no standing at all. Apply for a High Paying Job and the first thing is to Be swabbed, pee in a cup, have a hair sample pulled from 5 places, blood test and if you pass all of those tests then you'll be Interviewed for that Job/Career. People claim to beat the system but by posting on any website that you like to smoke weed, every potential employer will be armed with that Information about you People when a background check is done. If you refuse then no job and that will be noted when you go for another potential job. The Feds run Healthcare so you know there position about Class 1 Narcotics; Zero Tolerance!
