The world would be a better place if everyone just stopped and smoke weed.

It makes you feel so good and if you feel mellow, everything is so much better. Think of how many wars would've been avoided if Cannabis remained legal all these years... :fluffle:

If we all smoked pot, the Environmentalists would get all over us. Imagine the air pollution :D .

No they wouldn't 'cause they'd all smoke it too.

And here I thought this thread was going to be about Bermuda Crab grass. :-\

Sorry to disappoint you, but you may hijack my thread, since I didn't say which kind of grass - all grass! The title is misleading.

I did too. I'm such a nerd...

I think that's darling! :D Nice to see such nerds here.

What about Kentucky Bluegrass?

What about Kentucky Bluegrass?

St. Augustine's where it's at.

What about Kentucky Bluegrass?

Kentucky Bluegrass is not at all nerdy. :cool:

Actually, my grandparents live in Kentucky, and I've had opportunities to look at and feel Kentucky Bluegrass. It's actually quite nice. The music of the same name is also generally enjoyable. :)

Soft lush grass is also fun to sit on. :)

But this is about underappreciated grass. Kentuky bluegrass and St. Augustine's are neither particularly underappreciated.

Actually, not all users of cannabis are non-violent.

Assassin
n. Murderer, generally somewhat professional; esp. one who murders a prominent figure.
During the time of the Crusades the members of a certain secret Muslim sect engaged people to terrorise their Christian enemies by performing murders as a religious duty. These acts were carried out under the influence of hashish, and so the killers became known as hashshashin, meaning eaters or smokers of hashish. Hashshashin evolved into the word assassin.

That said... I wish I could smoke up.

But this is about underappreciated grass. Kentuky bluegrass and St. Augustine's are neither particularly underappreciated.

I don't have that much appreciation for St. Augustine's. I spent way too many years mowing through it to have a liking for it.

i'm disapointed, i study the taxonomy of poaceae and cyperaceae, and i'd thought this would be a scientific discussion.

if evenone had did what you suggested the world would be such more of a horrible place! nothing would get done, thousands of people would die, everyone would be addicted, noone would follow the laws, et cetera...

But the important point is that no-one would give a fuck, either :cool:

Things would get done, slower.

Everyone dies anyways.

Pot isn't addictive.

There's no reason to assume potheads are more likely to break laws (except those related to drug possesion).

:fluffle: Lighten up G.

It would be great, I think.

Pot isn't even physically addictive. It's the same kind of addiction half of us have to nationstates. :D

Makes you wonder what Bush would act like if he got stoned occassionally. ;)

I'm not addicted. I can quit anytime I want to. It's just that in the last twenty-three months I haven't wanted to. :p

He used to :rolleyes:

He used to :rolleyes:
I thought he got wired... unless stoned goes for coccaine too.

I dunno, maybe he did both

I thought he got wired... unless stoned goes for coccaine too.

He's an alcoholic if i remember correctly. Recovered that is.

He's an alcoholic if i remember correctly. Recovered that is.

And a cokehead too.

I thought he was a cokehead as well as an alcoholic.

Didn't he crack up his car while drunk or something?

He's an alcoholic if i remember correctly.

One of the UK newspapers recently reported Bush was teetotal (no, I can't prove that. You'll just have to trust me)

1. things getting done any slower than working at highest ability isn't any good.
2. yes, but the species continues. the culture continues. if you are going to talk in that matter than it means that people shouldn't be trying to make themselves happy because it isn't going to matter when the universe implodes or anything.
3.then why haven't you stopped?
4.they have, they continue to, and breaking any laws is a bad breaking of laws.
5. you dark mannered fool! the lightest way is to not have to rely on anything. there is plainly no difference between an addiction and a disability.

if you wish to live in such a manner, never expect help from anyone else, as you're completely capable of helping yourself!

I recently was told to stop smoking pot for reasons I'll not get into. Believe me. The easiest thing in the world is to stop smoking pot. "Want to smoke a joint?" "Can't." "Oh, OK." Very simple. JUST SAY NO! (when you have to)

That's the reason why loosing weight is so easy: "Wanna have chocolate?" "No, can't." "Oh, O.K.". Easy as pie.

Pot isn't addictive...

It's not physically addictive - i.e. there are no 'withdrawal symptoms' as with opiates or cocaine - although technically it could be psychologically addictive, but the same could be argued about anything. That'd be more like a pot fetish or something.

It's a lot of fun, though.

*edit: and I'm groovin' with a bowlful of somethin good and Jefferson Airplane is blasting on my speakers...

Right. It's like saying, "I'm addicted to watering my lawn."

Just so. Illustrated perfectly. Well chosen, DM.

Makes you wonder what Bush would act like if he got stoned occassionally. ;)

He'd probably do hardly any work, and just stand around with a gormless smirk on his face all the time. And talk utter shite.

Yeah, he'd probably just get a ranch somewhere and be on vacation half the time. It'd be sweet.

It really isn't addictive.

There is no "hangover". Just a really good feeling. THat's why I think it's underappreciated because of so many common misconceptions.

It makes you feel so good and if you feel mellow, everything is so much better. Think of how many wars would've been avoided if Cannabis remained legal all these years... :fluffle:
I tried hitting a beer can with and air rifle, once when I was stoned, I can assure no one will be getting killed in war time if we were all high 24/7.

Cannibals? You think eating people will lead to world peace?

1. Rushing around all the time may be more productive but it can be quite crushing to our 'conditions'. If you don't take the time to stop and look around sometime, what's the point of existing?

2. Getting back to the original idea, pot isn't going to lead to our extinction.

3. I do stop, and start and stop and start... When I have it I enjoy it, but it never interfers with my normal living.

4. Everyone breaks laws occassionally, there's no reason to assume drug users break non-drug related laws more. Drug prohibition is morally wrong and therefore we're under no moral obligation to obey those laws.

5. You assume I rely on it and am addicted. The occassional use of an intoxicant doesn't make one an addict.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em, kids. :cool:

damn straight - no wars, or fighting, no bad things as long as there's enough munch to go around... the world would be a better place :)

agreed - everyone knows the level and speed of growth in our modern economies is unsustainable in the long term. slowing down would be a good idea in the long run

3. I do stop, and start and stop and start... When I have it I enjoy it, but it never interfers with my normal living.
me too. i've stopped smoking now for about 4 months (bar 2 weeks in amsterdam :P ) having been smoking every day for the last 2 years... and i'm fine and stopping wasn't a problem at all

*claps* :fluffle: :fluffle:
just because something is the law doesn't mean it should be or deserves to be... and if it is a wrong or immoral law, is it not the citizen's duty to disobey? now i'm ranting though

just thought i'd back you up on some of those :)

Yeah. Tongue and throat cancer is such a misconception....

Yeah. Tongue and throat cancer is such a misconception....

The government just made up cancer to control us. Duh.

Don't believe the lies, people!!

I never said that.

I'm disputing the ones that the government's War On Drugs made up to instill fear in the general populance via the propoganda feeding trough.

No... Cannabis Sativa (Marijuana)... :rolleyes: geez, you thought I was talking about cannibalism? Wow...just wow... (Though I hope you're being sarcastic).
