I put the Funk in Functional.

[PHATTY LUMPKINS]

I would say the vast majority of us are(FUNCTIONAL). The question you need to ask yourself is. Are You Functional?:jointsmile:

[Kenn]

:silly:Im fucktional.does that count..lol

[wicked]

[S.P.Q.R.]

I'm functional Monday-Fri. I work 8-12 hour days and lift weights another 1-2 hours on top of that...

Sat-Sun I'm lazy as f*ck!

I also have a 3.2 gpa going into my senior year of college.

I don't think that's a good comparison really considering the physical aspect of alcohol addiction.

When I was drinking heavily, I would have been considered 'functional'- I own a house, have a good job, etc- but the health effects and also moodiness made me question what 'functional' means, and came to the conclusion that such a subjective term had no place in defining whether or not I had a drinking problem.

So I guess you need to define 'functional' for me.

And I am not too impressed with your posts so far... you DO come off sounding like a troll... I hope you mellow out a bit.

[VaporDaddy]

I lay around in my own piss stoned all day while my toddler children play in traffic. BUT I do feed them once in a while. Is that functional enough?

WAHT DUH FAHK?

I completely agree. Habitual marijuana usage and alcoholism can not be compared. That's like car shopping and comparing a Bently Continental GT to a Hynduai Elantra. I have alcoholics in my family and I've been around a lot of pot heads. Alcoholics hurt themselves and others... I've never seen or heard of someone being hurt or hurting other strictly from cannabis consumption.

I believe the functionality of a person has nothing to do with smoking dope rather than the person's own make-up. If you were lazy before you were a stoner, chances are you'll be twice as lazy while smoking. :twocents:

I disagree.
Without cannabis medicine, I wouldn't be functional at all.
I would lay in bed all day writhing in pain or passed out on pills.
Cannabis MAKES me functional!

My mom died a "functional" alcoholic, as did my grandfather, mother-in-law, and many, many friends. I quit drinking (whew!) in 1985, and haven't felt the need to descend into that hell since :) I also quit smoking marijuana at the same time, because I was told it would lead me back to drinking, but I suffered so from depression and anxiety that after nearly 10 years I began smoking again and found my symptoms greatly alleviated, and if anything, using it made not drinking that much easier. I now use marijuana daily instead of the antidepressents I was prescribed for years, because it works much better with far fewer side effects. The only problem I had with pot was finding it, and now that I grow my own for my own personal use- no problem. I think marijuana is a gift from the universe that we should use to heal and comfort.
I have seen many people act violent under the influence of alcohol, but when people smoke, the worst thing they ususally do is eat too many cookies, yikes!
When I quit drinking, I learned that it isn't how much of a substance you use, it is the effect on you that determines harm. Alcohol brought ever-increasing harm to me and many others, while marijuana never has, and I started smoking in 1970!
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, they say :)
mmmm..pudding........

I think you have a different case than what I was talking about. Pain and laziness are different indications of oneâ??s make-up. For the most part, you choseâ?¦ well, one has a preference to be lazy whereas you donâ??t have any say about whether or not youâ??re physically or emotionally hurting.

[psteve]

Being the co-producer/stage manager of a large 4 day cannabis festival gave me a whole new perspective about what we can accomplish while completely stoned.

We can do anything.
Lazy stoners are a myth.

[skatin_foo15]

Now are you trying to make fun of us? or are you being serious? There are non-functioning people in every aspect of human life. Its mostly just depends on how you are.

Hahahahaha

[Reefer Rogue]

Cannabis doesn't allow anyone to function, there is no such thing as reality, only madness.

[burnable]

Cannabis makes you more yourself. If you're a scumbag, you'll be more of scumbag while stoned. But this doesn't mean you can't evolve as a human being and change who you are with weed in your life. You can willfully become a healthier and smarter person smoking everyday, and each time you get stoned the better you will come out in its raw, independent form. The key is being sober as often or more often than being stoned, as its hard to advance oneself without the edifying effects of the sober, meditative mind.

[CoMfOrTaBlYnUmB420]

i love goin on hikes and long walks while stoned. does that count as functional?

[burnable]

I'd say so. I'm pretty sure that alone makes you healthier than 80% of Americans. It's more than just exercise especially if it's in nature. Doing it provides so much inner tranquility and you'd have an advantage over all the insecure people in the world

[CoMfOrTaBlYnUmB420]

ya for sure. nature: either forests or the beach, put in such a good mood, whether im high or not. but on a high walk ill notice so many new things, even if ive walked in that place all my life

[SyndicateJuggalos17]

instead of sayin how much a troll he is use the thread to stop and realize how good of a person you are regardless of what people say about weed's affect on people and use that to feel happy :)

Let me commend you on the funnies post I have ever read sir.

And theres nothing really functional or funny about alcoholics. Basically every person in my family is an alcoholic (and coming from Russia it is basically expected) and theres nothing funny about it. Alcohol make people irrational and angry. I hate it and only get drunk occasionaly because I know my families history with it and that probably makes me prone to alcoholism too.

[SyndicateJuggalos17]

only one person in my immediate family is an alchoholic and im irish
the person pretty much calmed down, i dont care if they drink as long as they dont get fuckin wasted

[onequestion]

When i say my family i dont mean immediate. I talk about like 4th cousins and stuff cuz we still talk to each other a lot.

[allmwest]

Burnable, did you use to be an alcohol?

[jaGerbom]

If a stoner isnt functional its because they either do other drugs beside weed or they were already unfunctional. nobody is unfunctional as a result of weed imo.

[JimmyBoy20]

I'm def. functional even though my brain doesn't entirely have to be also

[EciRonTog]

I used to stress out about little stuff all the time, as well as being depressed, etc. I don't have any of those problems now that I smoke, which allows me to be much more functional than I was before.

Besides, all I do is fix computers. The people I usually have as clients are so much more retarded than any drug could ever make me that I'm not really worried.

[Bubbleman]

I am functional.

[TX Girl]

Highly!

[Bubbleman]

Highly!

Want to see how functional I really am? :stoned:

[MrNiceGuy420]

i dont think i even know any disfunctional stoners......they are all normal people, except they are less violent, have open minds, are less ignorant, and just in general better people :rastasmoke:

[TX Girl]

Sure! Lets see some tricks!, baby!

Ya know, I don't think I know any dysfunctional stoner folks either. Probably half my friends don't smoke, but they are good people too :p

[RedLocks]

I hold bricks down with my foot while cutting them with a saw that can cut your car in half all day, does that count as functional (still got both feet)

[deadfan420]

I put the FU in functional. hahahaha

If functional means sitting on cloud nine all day writing down everything i can think so one day ill be famous, but not rich 'cause i don't want to be a fuckin' capitalistic pig that worships money - then count me functional.

i said in my other posts i'm going to go to my job interviews stoned so i can give kick-ass answers to their petty questions.

[ryanses]

im functional, i have my ups and downs tho.
