How old were you the first time you smoked pot?

Oh! A recent funny pot story....

I was out in the yard playing with my dog and I had on shoes that were not my trademark shoes. My neighbor friend asked me what was wrong and I told her that I had hurt my foot and that the doctor had put the kibosh on my regular shoes for a bit. I complained that taking so much (the recommended dosage) of motrin was making me sicker than not being able to wear my shoes.

She said "Well if you want some pot stop by and I'll give you some."

She's 70!

I was all like "Isn't your daughter a cop!?"

She said "Yes. But I have a perscription..... I once got a perscription to have a swimming pool dug at my house.... the insurance paid for everything... you can get a perscription for whatever you want, all you have to do is ask."

I live in the best neighborhood ever!

O, my goodness: u r parallelling me.
A few days ago, I tripped n fell at home (= no one to sue).
I hurt my face, back n right lower leg; except for my leg, all is well.
(I 'm glad I 'm not a horse.)
Pain qua walking comes n goes; varies.
I had some old Endocet pills around; I took 2 for the pain.

I became nauseous for 2 days; irritable; felt sick.

Now, I have swollen foot itis, such as prevents my use of
ordinary shoes. Its getting better; it 'll be OK soon.

@Cycloptichorn,

Good ol' one eyed cock. Where have you been ? On a trip ?
Of course drug addicts dont like being told the truth...the whole reason for taking drugs is to avoid the truth.

three pages of interesting discussion about Pot,

If you think addicts talking about how they became addicts is lovely reading then you are even sicker than I thought...which was quite a lot really.

Oh, diddims! Did the nasty man ruin your mellow ? Only the truly intelligent can become addicts. A known fact by witless clowns.

@OmSigDAVID,

I hope you recover soon....may I suggest an aid to prevent falling ? Lift light weights from whatever height from the floor you feel comfortable with..start with them on a chair...about 5 kg. Make sure your legs are bent and your back is straight and your feet are shoulder width apart at least. The small muscles that control balance will benefit as well as the larger muscles that control major movement. People who end up using walking aids have got themselves into a vicious circle....they dont use their muscles so they need the aid which results in less muscle use and so on....their only hope is to die before they are bed ridden. Muscles will work well into advanced old age.....start exercising now and enjoy good health later.

Thank u; pain is not as bad; very good of u.
I 'm only taking a lot of aspirin attenuated in tasty soup.
I disliked the sick feeling that the Endocet Rx gave me
worse than the pain it stopped.

Yes; I have weights (wates) and a bench.
I used to lift them every day.

Then around Christmas of 2004, I got sick.
Abdominal surgery, no food, no water, just I.V.
for long enuf that I got too weak to walk.
I 've never recovered strength 100%.
U r absolutely right; I shoud begin again.

I first began to lift wate at age 9,
to accelerate muscular development.
The heaviest wate that I found at the time was an old rifle.
Leg exercises too; that 's how I discovered charlie-horses.

Yes; studies have shown muscular exercises to be good for mental development
and to delay mental decline. Good advice; thank u.

U know, I 've loved your Avatar.
Will u describe it in detail? (Cute little furry fellow)
What is he firing, exactly ?

Calibration ?

(Its a good thing that he is not smoking anything
and getting confused about his targets or directions of fire.)

I dont know what the animal is...some sort of squirrel...but the weapon is an M240 FNMAG, firing 7.62 rimless, and is the replacement for the M60, being sort of a half way between the minimi and an M 60 in weight but retaining most of the M60's power.

So you gave him thumbs up for existing...interesting. Meanwhile you brag about who you ignore...is that clever where you come from because here it is just bigotry and arrogance.

@OmSigDAVID,

David, have you seen a doc about your foot? Swelling continuing a few days after the injury might need a look.

Check the expiry date on the painkillers before taking.

Thank u for the information; I did not know that the beloved M60 had been replaced;
as the imposter woud have pointed out, I was ignorant.

It has improved a lot by now.
I consulted with one of my tenants, who is a nurse.

Marijuana isn't really physically addicting, I really do think you have a misrepresentation of it in your mind. The question at hand was whether marijuana degrades intelligence to the degree you seem to think it does.

I am trying to explain to you that you have it wrong, and that marijuana's effects are rather pedestrian and mild. The most it does to affect intelligence is cause you to be lazy, and cause your short-term memory to be worsened.

This doesn't tend to degrade one's cognitive abilities but it certainly can impair judgment and learning. Just like sleeping or drinking or being too tired will.

It doesn't have to be one extreme to the other, and I'm not sure why you are emoting like this, my point is just that intelligence is just not affected by marijuana all that much.

@Robert Gentel,

Of the friends I have who have smoked all their lives there memory is shot. The stuff nowadays is a long way from what Indians used to smoke and chew, and it is advancing further away on the scale of harmless to harmful.

And the reason for adding one more to the list would be what ?

You are not sure what the following means or you are not sure you said it ?

It is all my fault isnt it.....I am a bad boy.

@Ionus,

I am familiar with the stuff produced nowadays and while it may be more potent it still does not begin to approach anything that causes much difference in intelligence.

As for the "reason" I guess everyone can have their own but I suspect most people do it for the enjoyment.

And "bad boy" or not I just don't why you seem more agitated than usual over the issue. I mean, why do you care what others do to themselves?

@Pemerson,

I started as late as about nineteen I guess.

Mostly I didn't get much out of it....except I took up normal smoking for a while because tobacco was mixed in with the joints!

I really enjoyed it sometimes...but not many considering how much we all smoked...and I was SOOOOOOOOOO bored by the people who came over and just wanted to sit around all day inside commenting on how ripped they were.

It's fun if the people you are with are fun, I guess.

I almost never bother with it now.

I agree. Do everything for enjoyment. Eat till you are a fat arse on a couch watching people starve on TV when you should be exercising. **** women, men, animals, knot holes, ....it doesnt matter so long as you are fulfilling your fantasies and enjoying yourself. Consume all manner of consumables......dump the 3 yr old telly and get a new one with those things that have lights and hidden switches and remotes so you dont have to get up and whistles and bells....then get another one for the toilet in case overeating gives you an upset stomach....dont want to miss watching those people starve to death now do we ?

I am sick of a society where self restraint and moderation are abused as being wrong.....where people are criticised for NOT taking drugs whilst babies are born drug addicts......where anyone who thinks the women's movement has gone too far is a misogynist, never mind what the libbies are actually doing....where anyone who points out the problems that homosexual societies have had in the past is labelled homophobic....

I am just sick of modern society and its inherent stupidity led by academia. They know nothing of history and dismiss thousands of years of collective wisdom by declaring they are too smart and know which way the human race should go.

Intelligence is not an attribute designed for survival. It exists in throw away people in the hope one would come up with something good. Ever met someone with an IQ over 200 who was worth talking to ? Apart from me I mean Very Happy

Intelligence was never meant to rule society. Supposedly in a democracy, everyone should be ruling but it doesnt turn out that way. Academia rule.

why do you care what others do to themselves?

It is the only planet I have.

The number one cause for drugs is peer pressure combined with ready availablity. The number one reason is young and stupid. I have children. What do I tell them about how to live when fools say drugs are harmless ? The truth is simple. Hard drug users are dead or give up before they are 30. Soft drug users go on to become dependent whilst saying it does no harm and they could give up whenever they wanted.

It is telling in itself that you ask why do I care.....

@Ionus,

wow, you do like to take everything to the extreme don't you, i'd bet that most of the folks who've posted on this topic, do none of the things you suggest

some simply do it now and again for enjoyment, just because someone eats too much chocolate cake, doesn't mean i want chocolate cake banned

as for our kids, you do the best you can, if you instil good values they should turn out all right

none of my friends who smoked pot carried it on much after their mid twenties, a few do it a couple of times a year now, none of us became drug addicts, we hold a variety of jobs, some professional some not, pretty much average folks
