So How Harmless Is Marijuana?
ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH, DEAR FRIENDS, ONCE MORE !! (altho I’d rather do it with those 3 babes in today’s blog)
Anything pleasurable becomes reinforced by repetition-- like gambling, internet surfing, or blogging. Trying to function when stoned, drunk, or strung out on downers is bad. Pot is probably the least bad.
So?

So there’s a recognised ailment called sex addiction therefore we should outlaw sex, spend $50 bizillion fighting “The war on sex”, have the “Sex Enforcement Agency”, etc, etc, etc.
When are you people going to recognize the fact that exposing the youth of Amerca to OCM is the best way to keep them away from drugs?

Marijuana isn’t just “not harmless.” It’s lethal. Every drug is lethal—in the right dosage. But then, so are water and table salt.
We’ve medicalized our society so greatly that people are calling every bad habit under the sun an “addiction.” But serious physiological disturbance, the classical telltale of an addiction, is missing from the consequences when a marijuana user decides to go on the wagon. In fact, his overall condition improves at once, as do his junk food bills.

Guys, methinks you be getting OCM’s goat.
Baaaaaaaa!
This is tiresome, so I will be brief. This is where I draw the line with the rest of the
le in the Conservative/Republican movement. I love and honor my Mother, my wife-to-be, my God, Corps, and Country. I have a Bachelor’s Degree. I work. I pay my taxes and bills. I served proudly and honorably for 4 years in the United States Marine Corps. I have paid my own way as a civilian before and since. I think Barry Goldwater was the last true Conservative, and I still voted for GWB twice. And I inhale. Any of you self-righteous, pompous, arrogant, think-they-know-what’s-best-for-everybody, ignorant 
FOOLS have a problem with that? Kiss my ass, and go to hell. Like I give a shit.
I will entertain this “Reefer Madness” folly no further. Have a nice day.
Hey, Carb, I agree with you.
I think conservatism at its worst is authoritarian, mystical, and deferential to traditional wealth and power.

STRESS.....is when you wake screaming and try to figure out if you have been asleep yet....and the saga of dope continues.
Oh what a glorious morning to have a day off
Lethal dose of Marijuana ?? Nope. Not unless you boiled and then distilled a bushel of the stuff, then injected it. As stated earlier, the same would be true of hay.
You can get a lethal dose of alcohol. Chug-a-lug a quart & it can paralyse your stomach valve, then get into the bloodstream in huge amounts, then stop your breathing.
But there are really, really deadly plants, like snapdragons, mistletoe, and oleander.

He suggests violation of a persons body, then says peace? It is truly an “evel weed”. It seems it destroys rational thought, but then, so does the legal drug, alcohol.
The problem with the use of marijuana these days is not the drug use itself, but who the profits go to. The Columbians have hooked up with the Mexican Mafia narco-trafficers, who are much more violent than the Columbians. This makes the transport of the ‘product’ over the southern border by the ‘mules’ more important. If the mule refuses to hump his load, they shoot him and leave the body in the desert as a lesson for those others who would resist. Or the person who just wants to go over the border to work is pressed into ‘mule slavery’ against their will using threats against their families, etc.
Ranchers in southern New Mexico whose land adjoins the border now patrol their land heavily armed just to protect themselves from the narco-trafficers. The trafficers have even threatened the families of those ranchers.
There are those who think marijuana is ‘harmless’. Maybe. Or the use of the drug is a ‘victimless’ crime. Maybe. However, it is a gateway drug of choice for other mind altering substances.
The way to solve the problem is to legalize it, tax the shit out of it and any societal problems disappear, in my opinion.

I did as he asked, extracted it, went over to his place and knocked on the door of his VW microbus. When he answered, I said, “You gotta try is shit man!” Whereupon he grabbed it from me and smoked it.

OH Lord Almighty Damn that calls for a Drink!OLDSCATMAN took time from pondering why the funky butt doobie had peanuts in it to impart:
“I live on 10 acres in a very large 1500 square foot house that I designed”
How many rusted-out school buses on blocks in 1500 square feet?
“I’d invite you over, but “
No thanks, there’s still such a thing as collective posession.
