even though i think stoners and slackers can go to hell, i have somehow become one.

and that's why i'm more buff than you, gym rat.

probably is.

the other day i went in after a night of being stoned and I felt so sick we had to do a really light workout that even pussies could complete.

but on the other hand, we started that workout by bumping the squat weight up to 90, which required use of the big plates.

actually i think he is referring to the british stone.

You may use the big plates all the time but I don't.

So you can see how that was sort of a moment for me right.

haha. when I started at the gym I was squating 7.5s on either side. On the smith machine. 2 months later we are doing 45's and we're doing them in the cage with the free bar. it's a lot of progress. haha.

yeah man, don't lose face about it man, you gotta start somewhere. i've got the muscle, but under layers of the lard man, but i'll get there too. 15 miles a week walking, it would be jogging, but shin splits.

so i'm thinking about taking up swimming too.

I don't do drugs (I smoked weed like 3 times, and did acid once) but I'm not completely for or against...

See......I am for the legalization of marijuana. Dispite all the mumbo-jumbo about the effects weed has on a person. I don't buy it. Weed is a natural drug......I do not see it as a big deal. I know lots of people that smoke the stuff, in fact.....a couple of adults that have smoked it almost their entire lives since they were like 15, and now in their mid 40's. I do not see where weed affected them in a bad way at all.

Personally, I feel that if weed is gonna be illegal, why is alcohol legal? More deaths occur EACH AND EVERY YEAR due to alcohol.

However, I feel that all other drugs should remain illegal. I do believe that other drugs do have strong and distinct consequences behind them.

I love alcohol.....but I can see where the weed smokers feel that they're getting the shaft. It's true.

I've never done any kind of drugs, have never taken a drink in my life and never plan to.

I waste enough time playing video games, I don't need some substance to make me even lazier than I already am.

Plus smoke in general is just... blegh.

If people want to smoke and drink, fine. Just not around me. (as you might be able to tell, I am not a partier at all. unless it's a LAN party.)

Don't plan on ever doing any drugs, except my prescribed medication. I'll have have a little bit of alcohol here and there, but I'm waiting until I'm 21 before I ever get drunk or anything. That's about a year and a half away.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » 4/7/2006, 4:38 pm

Kids.......acid is fun. (In moderation......like alcohol)

I could ramble on for pages telling you stories about the one night....

In fact, I still have the one ciggy-poo on my entertainment center. That one ciggy-poo was the one I attempted to smoke when the "trip" hit me, and it burned out.......and I carried it with me the remainder of the night, making certain it was not out of my sight for more than about three seconds.

Further note: Southern Comfort and the new Coca-Cola Blak, actually mesh well together.

i'm for legalization of all drugs across the board and i can very easily demonstrate to you the reasons as to why this idea makes sense.

people get too caught up with the worry and what not about what drugs do to your body. please, if you will, remember that most everything you have "learned" about drug "abuse" from the government is either a BLATANT LIE (ie. anything they told you marijuana would do to you, it won't. LIES.) or a gross exagerration. (in the mid 90's, an article appeared in the NEW YORK TIMES about a fortune 500 CEO who used heroin 4 times a week for over 10 years. the guy was pulling in 6 figures and had a nice wife. at the time of the printing, he had quit using heroin COLD turkey and experienced "mild, flu like symptoms" and "some irritability" as his only "withdrawl" side effects.)

i am not saying that using opiates or other hard drugs won't fuck you up. all i am saying is, it should be your decision whether or not you fuck yourself up and what's more, education on drugs should be focused on THE TRUTH and not these crazy fear mongering lies they tell you. i remember the first time i smoked weed and realised that the government had lied to me. it made me wonder if any of the other things they said about drugs were true either.

or the first time i drove after having 4 beers and discovered that i wasn't drunk or unable to drive easily as good as i did before i had the 4 beers. another big government lie, which of course led to me driving drunker and drunker until last weekend i drove home totally shitfaced and parked in the wrong parking lot stall. it wasn't much but it was enough to show me that i was hammed and i won't be doing that again. nonetheless, the only reason i progressed that far is because i discovered they were lying when they said "one drink of alcohol impairs your judgement."

A person can drive a car better being legally drunk..........than being sober and talking on their cellphone.

Saw that on TLC's "Mythbusters"

starvingeyes · Post by **starvingeyes** » 4/7/2006, 5:10 pm

you can be legally drunk in this country before you're tipsy. buy one of those home breathalyzers, drink two beers in a row (say in about a half hour) and blow. you'll be over .08

the limit is obscenely low. you can blow positive after rinsing your mouth out with mouthwash, i'm sure we all remember that story.

getting back to drugs; think of all the money wasted imprisoning these mostly NON VIOLENT offenders. lots of them are young (20-30's) and they get sent in with HARD, VIOLENT criminals. jail is CRIME SCHOOL for street drug dealers and users. they get in as mostly normal kids with strange habits and come out as hard, emotionally damaged ex-cons with employment prospects severely limited.

gee a wonder as to why so many of them turn to crime...

Medical marijuana is legal in Oregon...

It's no wonder why so many people claim they have Glaucoma there.....haha

umm, the government has nothing to do with the associated effects of drugs or alcohol. this is the realm of science you're dealing with now. the government wouldn't even know anything about any of this stuff if the knowledge wasn't given to it by scientists and researchers.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » 4/7/2006, 5:33 pm

The realm of science seems to agree that when you smoke weed.......you can become mentally impaired, at least temporarily.

Like that commerical......those kids in the drive thru that wind up running into the little girl on the bike.

It's all whack anti drug propaganda. Anybody who honestly acts like that, from smoking marijuana, shouldn't be touching the stuff anyways cuz there is already an underlying issue within them.

I will continue to agree that science has proven what Heroin, Cocaine, etc. can do to a person, and I completely agree. However, I will firmly stand by my statements on weed.
