Which time period would you live in?

[NextLineIsMine]

Lets say it has to be at least a hundred years ago, so no going back to the sixties and toking it with all your favorite dead artists.

Id say Rome during the pax romana, lots of orgies and plenty of herb from Germany too.

[ceecee79]

It would be hard for me to select a time period I would want to live in over one hundred years ago. Life for women sucked then, with no rights. Unless, you were someone important, like Catherine the Great or good friends with someone like that, I don't say I could choose.

[couch-potato]

The Enlightenment.

[Nightcrewman]

This is a good question, very hard to answer but I think I would live during the time of the Egyptian Pharaohs its a period of time that has always fascinated me.
Perhaps i would get the answers to a lot of questions.

Cheers

[LIP]

I wouldnt mind being a wealthy man in Victorian London. Lots of money - and friends with Vicky LOL.

[Anubis10012007]

Renaissance!

[Metaphor]

long before civilization i would want to be the first and only man. i would kill the first woman and stop civilization from ever happening. let the animals have their planet, we already fucked one up.

[Metaphor]

oh yeah ncm egypt woulda been sick too. i would love to have eaten a scarab and trip out.

[Jizzle Blizzle420]

The wild west. That would be the shiznit.

[scottbrochill]

i'd be a pirate... arrrgggghhhhhhhhh

[Mike23artist]

1980s i like the early video games and music haha

[Nocturnal Stoner]

biblical/Roman times sex anywhere, herb anywhere it would be like GTA

[Oh My High]

In terms of comfort, no time has been more comfortable than now. All those other time periods, though no doubt fascinating, were miserable. Regardless of how young you are, there is a very good chance you'd be dead by now if you had been born in those other eras. Even if you were lucky enough to be alive, your gums would be black, your mouth would be unpalatable, you would stink vile odor. Even during the Victorian era, people bathed only once a week. There's also a 99.99999% chance that if you were born in any other era, you'd be a lowly pheasant, slave, or the cultural equivalent.

So, while those other times are certainly interesting, the best time to live is now.

[Jizzle Blizzle420]

1980s i like the early video games and music haha

he said not in the past 100 years. do the math lol.:hippy:

[YouAintKnow]

I'd like to be part of World War II or maybe a samurai/ninja in feudal Japan. Yeah...that would be tight.

[LuckyG]

It's the simple life for me - I'd go back to some secluded village in China and do some rice farming, or maybe hook up with some native North Americans.

Wait, no, Atlantis. Definitely.

[BeatlesRGod]

long before civilization i would want to be the first and only man. i would kill the first woman and stop civilization from ever happening. let the animals have their planet, we already fucked one up.

Why kill the first woman? Just pull and pray. Rest of the idea is good though.

[SingingSkittles]

Dude like... 18-70s and shit with the west and stuff and the uprise of industrialization... I think it'd be neat to see our country being born into the massive conglomerant (sp) it is today.

[higher4hockey]

when the western united states was first being explored....

[Sweyn Forkbeard]

There's also a 99.99999% chance that if you were born in any other era, you'd be a lowly pheasant, slave, or the cultural equivalent.

Yeah those pheasants really had it rough. People kept eating them!

I like the idea of being among the first to explore the american west.

[Ganj]

I would go back to the time of Ancient Greece & Socrates. A simpler time when all that seemed to matter was improving civilization. I would sit around the thinking block and listen to Socrates talk. He would spark up the blunt, of course. Ah, yes. The simpler time where men could achieve their passions without the distractions of modern civilization. I wonder if it would really be as simple as I imagine. Those were times of great change. And when comes change also comes the failure to adapt to change, which always bring on a lingering discomfort. Times might not have been much different for the individual, as we are always posed questions that need answers, we still must make decisions. Still. Sitting around a campfire with some like-minded people, smoking some weed seems ideal for me.

[tokinsplinter]

i would have to say during the american revolution cause thatd be a pretty damn crazy time era with so much new change.

[BoilerUp]

I would go back to the garden of eden, toke up on the fine grass there, then eat my heart out.

[40oz]

I think it would be cool to live in ancient mexico. Just chillen in the jungle, hunting and farming. Air fresher than anyone can imagine. yep.

[cannabis=freedom]

20th century: The '70s, man! My hair, clothes, music and general character are from then, so I should be as well....

pre-20th century: probably during the Regency (1810-1820); I have no idea why, but I'd love to smoke a joint with Prince George.

[ZenDennehy]

Basically anytime time period where they were allowed to carry swords around and kill for vengeance. It'd be great.

Horses too, everyone on horses.

[cannabis campbell]

Does this include the future aswell :).

[cannabis=freedom]

Does this include the future aswell :).

Why not?

[Kenn]

The age of the Vikings ..I would love to be a Rampaging Viking.:blueknife:

[deadfan420]

I'd want to live in the early 19th century in germany so i could meet Beethoven. listenin to him playin the piano while I toke up a fat one.

[psteve]

Present time please.
I need my pain meds too much to go back to a time without 600 watt HPS and sinsemilla. I like my prius, and my cellphone, and the internet, and House music, etc...
I'm not going back.

[birdgirl73]

So many aren't playing the game he set up! He told us we needed to choose a time at least 100 years in the past.

I think I'd choose 1907 America or England, exactly 100 years ago. Compared to times further back, it would still have been a much more modern and progressive time, with early advancements in medicine and industry for people who lived in cities, especially. It would have been fun to be among some of the pioneers who helped settle the last of the far American west during that time, perhaps staking a land claim in Oklahoma, Arizona or New Mexcio.

And in newly Edwardian England, it would have been a fun time to be a Londoner and appreciate art, as that era was partly known for. Assuming, of course, like LIP said about Victorian-era England, I was part of the upper-class so my health and housing stood a better chance of being satisfactory.

[Silent Wolf]

I could realy handle living in the wild west. Get myself a nice horse and ride across the open desert after downing a bottle of whiskey.

[psteve]

OK Fine... If I can't stay here, I'm going to 17th century Amsterdam.

[jaGerbom]

the fucking old western times. they lived the life. playing poker, smokin cigars, drinking beer, and then getting pissed at shit and killing it. oh man. oh GOD.

i'd also like to add that my waterfall bong has sucessfully fucked me up hardcore.

pz

-jaGerbom

[lil josh]

anytime between 1900+ as long as i can take back some money from now to then and be flossing lol.

If not id probable want to go back to biblical times just to see if jesus was around and if he was id slap him lol, i would go down in history :D

but yeah biblical times with enough money to bath whenever i want :)

[GraziLovesMary]

What an awesome question!! I am sick of the overabundance of comforts nowadays, and the inherent menial responsibilities attached with them. If I had my choice I would go back in time so many places.. Lucky G pissed me off by taking my answers lol :p

First and foremost I would want to go all the way back to the point where Homo sapiens first walked the earth. That is the ultimate in freedom, and seeing our ancestral roots would be amazing. I would learn their language and way of life and assimilate myself into a clan and just love life!

Next I would say Ancient Mesopotamia and Babylon, around 12,000 years ago.

Atlantis era, c. 10,000 years ago.

Ancient Egypt, 6,000 - 8,000 years ago

POSSIBLY MY NUMBER ONE CHOICE: Ancient China, approximately 6,000 years ago, when the Shaolin temple was first constructed. I would learn as much kung fu as I could, straight from the true masters who were enlightened enough 6 millenia ago to figure Dim Mak out.. a martial art that uses convergence among other advanced neurological phenomenae to affect the body in ways we are only just beginning to understand in osteopathic medicine. I would also want to be there when the emperor of Qin united China into one dynasty. Actually, I would love to be able to exist all the way through the entire history of China.

Ancient Egypt again, around 3,000 - 4,000 years ago

MY SECOND CHOICE: THIS IS SPAARRTAAA!!! Im not sure how long ago that was.. possibly 3 - 5,000 years ago. I would give anything to be among those 300. I would endure an entire lifetime of torture and misery just to be reborn in Sparta in order to participate in the most beautiful battle in the history of history.

Ancient Greece, at the time of Achiles and the Battle of Troy, 3,000 yrs ago.

Ancient Rome, 2,500 years ago.

Nazareth, approx. 2050 years ago. Id follow Jesus around, that shit would be interesting as fuck. Maybe Id be able to prevent Christianity and promote spirituality instead. Jesus had the right idea.. his apostles molded it to fit their interpretations and desires.

The Dark Ages, 1,500 years ago. Such a dark, confusing and brutal time. And have I mentioned that I am absolutely OBSESSED with swords and sword combat????

Medieval Brittain, at the time of Arthur and Launcelot. Approx 900 - 1,100 years ago. And then again another few hundred years later to chill with Robin Hood.. dude really existed.

Medieval Scotland, 800 years ago, during William Wallaces rise. I would die 10,000 deaths just to be able to fight and die with that man. One of the greatest people in history IMHO.

Romania, during the time of Vlad Dracula.. what was it, 500-600 years ago?

Italy during the beginning of the Rennaissance, around 550 years ago. Meeting DaVinci would be life-changing.

South America During the rise and fall of the Incan, Aztec, and Mayan empires, that whole range, its quite a large range... not gonna even try to guess that right now Im too drunk.

Eastern North America around 600 years ago when the Natives still ruled the land. I would live with Sioux, Apache, Navajo, Cherokee, and of course, my heritage, Mohawk.

Arizona, 150 - 200 years ago. Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp OWNED.

Annnnnnddd.. yeah thats good enough for now.

[Breukelen advocaat]

I'd go back to the 1890's, specifically the The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893. This was a World's Fair that had many of the things that were new at the time such as the bicycle, telephone, phonograph, and many other things that shaped the next century.

I wouldn't worry much about the availability of marijuana if it were possible to go back in time. They had strong cannabis medicines in the 19th century including hash, hash oil, and various other marijuana tonics and drinkable preparations. The best thing was, it was all legal. It's been around, in one form or another, forever.

[NextLineIsMine]

Im not sure is Id be down for those medieval times Grazi, they sounded pretty damn miserable, with the whole church slaughtering all who disagreed with them in some form. Living through Chinas history would be tight too.

I wish I could have lived for a thousand years and thrashed guitar the whole time so I could be a utter guitar god now

[ryanses]

Lets say it has to be at least a hundred years ago, so no going back to the sixties and toking it with all your favorite dead artists.

Id say Rome during the pax romana, lots of orgies and plenty of herb from Germany too.

dammit and i was gonna say the 80s...

[WidespreadJazz420]

i would straight up go with the industrial revolution, shit was tight

[GraziLovesMary]

Ha the medieval period is my favorite. I love the brutal slaughter and violence of it all. Especially in the name of "God." Hahahahaha its great. Ive been studying it obsessively since the 4th grade. The living conditions are plenty comfortable enough for me, Im not picky at all. Especially when I am ensured a healthy level of violent behavior! The church wouldnt bother me either. I could either pretend to comform all the while working towards its ultimate demise... or I could just outright fight it from the inside AND outside. I just want to cut people up with swords. Well thats not all, I love everything else about the time period also, thats just one of my favorites. I would LOVE to bring a japanese blade folded hundreds of times to the medieval ages also.. good lord would I be God to them lol.

But yeah living through China's history would be SICK! Throughout their entire span they have always been so advanced; so observant, intuitive, and logical. Of course all humans are subject to.. well.. human nature. Were not perfect, but China pre-communism is probably the most impressive culture in the history of modern man, in my opinion.

[GotWake88]

I'd go back and toke with socrates and plato.
I'd actually think it would be cool to be alive at the dawn of human civilization and be immortal, so I could just sit around, smoke, and watch the human race succeed here, fail there, etc.

[King Cannabis]

The third age of middle earth. Haha, no seriously, to die at the right hand of William Wallace would be quite cool.

[switch226]

Venice Italy... get to go around and night with a mask on and get with any woman you wanted night after night at the old school clubs they had

[GraziLovesMary]

Not in all parts of the world... most maybe... but not all by a long shot.

[jdub61]

my first choice is the 1960s, but since you said not to pick that, then i'd want to go back to roughly the time around the civil war but i'd want to live in the west, back when vigilante justice reigned supreme, the sort of stuff you watch in Clint Eastwood westerns, i'd want to be an ass-kicker in the wild west :rasta:
