Too many people ignorant about drugs

yeah just wondering if anyone may have tried to bonsai it (the Kauri) its related to the pine and prob the Hosretail beefwood (haha soundz like a food ) and just a question if you bonsai a flowering shrub such as a protea Native south african plant grows to about 12 metres tall maybe taller and can live to 20-35 years (guess) will the flowers be small to or the original size

My experience has been that foliage/leaves can be reduced by pruning and pinching back but I don't think that works for flowers. I'm not really sure.
But I tend to lean towards evergreens/conifers since they are cool and easier for me to store in winter.

In fact, I agree with you that it's a disease. A disease similar to an STD in that.. well.. you play with fire and you get burned. An individual genetically predisposed to drug-addiction isn't going to get addicted unless he puts himself in that position. Willpower comes into play when making the decision to at least only use occasionally, the same as that willpower will prevent someone from raping someone else. My father was a tweaker, and I do consider myself to have an addictive personality, but I KNOW WHEN TO RESTRAIN MYSELF.

I know alllllllll about twelve step programs. My mother volunteered and ran an Alateen meeting for two years at my old high school. She was a sponsor for several people who attended Al-anon. I wouldn't present this as fact, but I read on these boards that the success rate for alcoholics quitting, in and out of AA, were the same.

Well that is certainly a well thought out opinion and I agree with about 99% of what you are saying. I just get irratated when people look down on drug addicts (not saying thats what you're doing, just seemed like it), as I think its kind of like looking down on someone for having cancer. Overcoming severe drug addiction is one of the hardest things someone can do, and although I respect a recovering drug addict more than anything else, I really think they deserved to be treated as sick people and not as people who have made a mistake.

Lateralus was a great album.

Take care

weed actually makes new brain cells.

Drug addiction is a disease, not a moral choice. Wrong. Otherwise you'd be an addict before you even ingested the drug. I'm very, very tired of people suggesting otherwise. Groups like Alcoholics Anonymous have taken a step towards treating alcoholism as a neurological disease, and not a question of "morality" (and absurd idea). You're ultra absurd, you fucktard. Of course they are going to say that it's not their fault and that it is a disease, because the people who run AA are a bunch of pussies... and without telling them the truth... that just avoids alot of trouble but also makes it so that AA doesn't really help. Relevant studies show only genetic and psychological/neurological precursors. Statistics show alot of things... you want me to go get some Marijuana stats and post 'em here to see if you agree with any of them?

Um... yes... YES it is. It's your fault for picking up the bottle. It's not like something triggers in your brain that makes you drink.

No one is looking down on the addicts because of their addiction... it's the addicts that spread lies about how this and this drug really ruined my life and blah blah blah. That is what annoys the rest of us. Done and done.
