Drugs in bath salts??? (2 Viewers)

[Claw]

How about just not taking drugs? I'm sorry about your cousin/best friend, but he wasn't very bright to do this in the first place. Look if kids smoke some weed in high school, fine. But a being a pot head at 30 or abusing more serious drugs is just plain stupid, IMO.

I am not saying you are wrong, at all (except for the pot-head part), but drugs for the most part are victim-less crimes (in his case at least, being that he worked, supported his self, and has no kids). I am not saying he wasn't stupid, we know that and he knows that. He has a problem. I'm just saying that people who desire to stay f'ed up will find a way to do so, no matter what. Now the convenience of the more dangerous, but legal, stuff is causing a hell of a lot more problems with these sort of people than the real ones would if they were legal. This fake crap is proving to be a hell of a lot more dangerous than the drugs they mimic, and they are harder to control since it only takes the alteration of the illegal chemical, and that is a fact. The legal system will be doing nothing more than playing catch-up from here on out with the advent of all of the new synthetic garbage.

I know exactly what you mean. I was toking it up with a very successful chemical engineer, a guy who own several successful businesses, and a junior partner at a prestigious local lawfirm after a round of golf late last summer talking about how ignorant some people are about how predominant pot use is in the country, and how shocked these ignorant people would be if they knew how many successful people smoke pot.

The first time I've tried the synthetic weed (when it came out and didn't know anything about it) was with a good friend of mine, who also happens to be a Kidney Doctor. He lives in Lafayette and is a regular smoker, but brought the legal stuff with him to NOLA since its stupid for someone in his position to drive around with weed on him and risk getting caught. You are completely right about successful people smoking pot, and we've talked about it. He said that I'd be surprised at how many of his doctor friends smoke on a regular basis. There is nothing wrong someone like that going home after a grueling 12-hour shift and smoking a bowl to unwind. Now granted, he won't touch the fake junk anymore since all of the negative facts about it came out.

Just thought I'd share.

I'm not saying smoking weed makes you unsuccessful. I'm just saying the thirty year old bartender that lives at home because he spends everything he makes on weed is an idiot for doing so. Or the guy that starts shooting heroin and loses everything because of it is an idiot. I'm just saying, if someone doesn't have their **** together, maybe they should consider laying off the drugs. It might help. If you can do it without hurting yourself or others, go for it.

Well no crap, but that's not exactly what you said to begin with...is it?

I do agree with <b>this</b> post, entirely.

Also, it's pretty tough to spend everything you make on weed, unless you make next to nothing.

edit: also, 4:20.

But your stereotyping, for every one guy that lives at home at 30 something and smokes pot I can show you one that has a drinking problem, one with a world of Warcraft addiction, and one with a jacked up family dynamic.

The reason I brought up a 30 year old bartender, is because I know one that does just that. He spends about $500/month on weed. As a bartender, he makes about $2000/month. Therefore he spends about a fourth of his salary on weed. That's pretty ridiculous.

But your stereotyping, for every one guy that lives at home at 30 something and smokes pot I can show you one that has a drinking problem, one with a world of Warcraft addiction, and one with a jacked up family dynamic.

This doesn't make much sense to me. First of all, I'm not stereotyping anything. I'm just saying it's stupid to do drugs if all you're going to do is hurt yourself and/or family/friends. The guy playing World of Warcraft may not be getting laid (there's your stereotype), but he isn't risking an overdose, spending all the money he should be using to support himself or his family, or partaking in other criminal activities to obtain more drugs. As for the drinking, same as drugs. I enjoy throwing back a few beers here and there. I've gotten wasted plenty of times, but I don't risk everything to be able to drink.

That has nothing to do with pot and everything to do with intelligence.

If some of less harmful drugs were made legal, the sterotypes would fade way.
Consider caffeine. It's a psychoactive stimulant, much like speed, thats very addictive and changes mood and behavior. Yet millions of americans are addicted 2 it and no one bats an eye when someone "needs there caffeine fix"
If pot were legal. It would be thought of as the "after work cup o' joe". As the effects are similar 2 caffeine but a depressant.
This would result from people being honest and up front about pot use. And closed minded people actually being comfronted with anti-sterotypical behavior.
