I keep breaking glass bongs. That's dangerous. Very dangerous.chicodude01 said:The real question is, Which is worse for you, Smokin a bowl, or blastin down the side of a mountain at full speed on a bike? I've never seen anyone get broken ribs from smoking........
Is that actually illegal?narlus said:how do toad lickers rate on the loser scale?
Because I'm a mod here, and just in case little Timmy's parents is on this site to see what he/she looks at I don't want it to appear like we condone that type of activity here. This is a public site which means ANYONE can access it, get the picture now?Lexx D said:I agree no bearing on you. If you really feel this way why come in here and state that drugs=losers? I agree if you smoke crack your a loser, but my smoking a bowl in the privacy of my own home makes me no more of a loser than you opening a beer after a long day of work.
did you smoke a bowlfull of winnepeg wheelchair when you typed that?slein said:They are merely regurgitating the verbal diarrhea spoonfed to them by some right-wing fat man (like Michael Moore)

Justintime, you're not even 20, I have 2 samll children right now, one is 5 and the other is 1 1/2, I will do all I can to detour them from trying drugs as my wife never did touch them. You'll change your tune if you ever have kids.......Trust me on this one, YOU WILL change your tune.Justintime said:Oh, and to Brian HCM:
Maybe it's time to get your priorities straight? Little Timmy has to grow up just like the rest of us. I agree that marijuana shouldn't be used by those who are still maturing, but that's not the only variable. Let me relate a hypothetical situation to you:
Jimmy spends his early childhood believing D.A.R.E and other propagandists. Later, most likely in high school, he'll be exposed to marijuana through his peers. He may try it. If he does, and likes it, and realizes that DARE is a big lie, he may try other harder drugs, since, after all,as DARE teaches, POT IS AS "BAD" AS OTHER DRUGS, RIGHT?
Ignorance is never the answer. It's only a band-aid. Parents should raise their own children. It's not your job, nor is it mine, to instill values in other children. Free speech was part of the constitution for a reason.
PS- just for the record, talking about pot on an open forum doesn't mean that the forum admins agree with the topic. It's a place for free discussion, not a personal website. To quote Jon Stewart, "stop hurting America".
I think that Brian's response has something to it. Also, I do not agree with your summary points. I have met plenty of people who are against any sort of mind-altering drugs (alcohol included) because of principles. Plenty of people throughout history have been opposed to any sort of drug that affects the body or mind (including caffeine etc.). While I might not agree with their ideals, I accept their reasoning.Justintime said:Slein, that was very inspirational.
A major problem in our society is that people are groomed from childhood to believe what they are told. It's definately not in the best interest of any governing body to have people think for themselves.
The vast majority of people who smoke pot enough times to experience its qualities will be pro-legalization. The problem is that people come onto this thread without ever getting "high" and then criticize others on a topic that they couldn't know any less about.
In summary:
1) If you come to this thread and haven't gotten high, shut your mouth. You're ignorant. Don't shove your non-educated viewpoint on us.
2) If you come to this thread and believe that pot is inherently bad, it might be time to wake up to the world around you. Learning is a constant process.

Its not a matter of sheltering, I smoked weed for years, I saw what it was doing to me (not good) and chose to stop as I relized what was happening wasn't good. The last time I ever lit up was Dec 1989, I felt it was time to start going forward in my life so I made that decision to do so. I will not and can not shelter my kids from doing or trying drugs, but I've been there and can hopefully guide them away from it as a lot of the time it doesn't lead to positive results.Justintime said:Brian, I understand that it's essential to take care of your children. Hell, I'll probably have the same stance as you in twenty years. I do, however, believe that sheltering your children from even reading about drugs is not the right way to go. I mean, if they can get to a site like Ridemonkey, they have the capacity to learn about drugs elsewhere.
Besides, wouldn't you take your kids aside when you think they're ready and tell them about drugs? I would feel pretty bad if the first place that my kids heard about drugs was on some bicycle website.
I'm not condoning child pot use.
Rogers- I'm not saying that people should or shouldn't smoke marijuana. If someone is against mind-altering substances, then they definately have that right. But they shouldn't poke their nose in here.
If someone doesn't like marijuana, then they should keep out of this thread. There is nothing here for them. And no one wants to hear their principles. Religion has that area very well staked out, thank you.

Well parents all have different veiws on right & wrong. My dad too was an asshole or at least I thought so at that age. It turns out he was just trying in his way "right or wrong" to keep me on the good path. When I was younger I hated my dad as we always fought, now we are best buds. I still think the way he went about things was wrong, but now I realize where his intentions were and appreciate it more now that I look back on it. Your dad only wants whats best for you, maybe he F'ed up as a kid and this is the only way he knows of keeping you on the right track.mack said:I wish my dad were like that. Instead hes a totall ass hole and is very stubborn. He caught me smoking once, he has this friend of his whos kid was ruined by weed, he apparently sat in a tee pee for 5 years of his life and skied aspen. So he thinks weeds a one way track to hell. i think weed can deffinetly be legalized, and if it were it should deffinetly be monitered and stuff, just like booze. Im only 15 but i know my Dad isnt going about the right way about drugs, be all jerk off about it. But ive already made up my mind.

Try again, there, tough guy. This is, in fact, a personal website. Your "freedom of speech" means nothing here. You want freedom of speech, go picket on the White House lawn. Send emails back and forth. This website is owned by a private individual and he can moderate (or designate to moderate) how he sees fit.PS- just for the record, talking about pot on an open forum doesn't mean that the forum admins agree with the topic.

i got kicked out of school, moved out of home, i smoked a lot, id be stoned from the minute i was awake till i went to sleep, if i didnt smoke i couldnt eat, if i didnt smoke i couldnt sleep, if i didnt smoke i was moody.ATXjimATX said:Alcohol and weed are both detrimental in their own ways. Both can mess your life up. Not saying they will; but they can.
Here's an idea
try Finding a way to live your life so that you don't have to get high or drunk to enjoy it.....
just an idea....
While I agree with some of what you said, the above statement is just stupid. I don't have much experience with E, so I can't really comment but I have seen what happens to people who do too much K, coke and speed. They are all very nasty addictions. I have lost friends to these drugs. Some overdose, while some just lose touch with reality (And not in a good way). To say that speed "just amps you up" is not only dumb, but irresponsible.naz243racing said:most illicit drugs in my eyes are less harmful than alcohol, think about it, the effects of E, you get lovvvy, you want to hug everyone, ketamine you just dopy, pot i think we all know the effects, coke well thats another matter. speed just amps youu up a bit.
to both of your comments.Clark Kent said:All chems can be dangerous... But if someone develops a harmful addiction to Ketamin, they were going to end up doing something else that is a result of depression, lethargy, or a weakness in character.
The true gateway drug is nicotine.
Kind of the point I as trying to make with the gateway drug comment..... For most folks, the gateway drug is whatever happens to be around to break the ice..... Always gets me mad when folks call pot the gateway drug.... We might know alot of folks with drug problems who dont smoke fags, but in fact, nicotine is the first addictive substance most of us come in contact with. :mumble: ink:binary visions said:to both of your comments.
I know plenty of people who've gotten into drugs but don't smoke.
...and your blanket statement about Ketemine (spelling?) is absurd. You could suggest the same thing about any drug and it's not necessarily true.

I guess this depends on your definition of "safe"mack said:there is no safe drug. period. legal or not. Caffenine isnt safe and neither is Pot. <snip>
