The main reason is, It is none of anyone's G** D*** business how I spend my free time. As long as I don't trample another's rights, they can leave me the hell alone.
Stupid nay sayers.
I couldn't agree more. :thumbsup:Quote:

Prohibition never solved anything, it's like trying to teach kids about abstinance in school when they already know the joys of sex.
My reason is because I said so! I don't smoke much, and most of the time don't even smoke at all, but I do enjoy growing and providing it to close friends and family who do. Why should that be a crime?
All of which are wonderful answers. =} My reason for smoking is it makes me happy, and sometimes calm. It is my right to smoke (and or grow) considering it is just a plant, and no fatal or harmful results come from it itself. :thumbsup::jointsmile:
There is no medicine that will speed up half of my brain, kill pain signals on the other half, erase my double-vision by speeding up the pairing of images from five seconds to instant, deaden my tinnitus, restore balance to my hips, make me stand straight (and tall), be able to sit on the toilet seat without my right-leg convulsing while my entire left-side is in pain at a dozen spots, and more, just off a little weed.
If I let myself, I make cannabis look miraculous. It's amazing. After so long of seeing the world cloudy, one hit makes me see straight.
For the pain, I saw doctors for two years and took their medicines. They couldn't find one that works, and, within a month, I was going through very serious withdrawals and had to go back to my doctor for more medicine to calm me down from that. I had head trauma, in 1994, and not one prescription-drug did not incapacitate me.
Topamax and Baclofen were the final attempt.
I forgot to mention the (prescribed) medicine caused me to lose thirty pounds.
Your story is miraculous. I wish the government would realize that all the stuff that they consider to be "safer" than marijuana is actually a billion times more hazardous than it is. Plus to make situations worse we have people out there that go and kill for......for what? Not the marijuana itself... But the money that marijuana produces on the street. If they legalize weed all this war over the plant would stop. We have people out here that use it for medication, yet they have to still be wary when they smoke/eat it. Why? Because the government says that it is bad for you.. Well, isn't beer, and cigarettes, and stuff like that? Remember when they outlawed alcohol? Well basically same thing. The "criminals" started to make it, and make profit on it for themselves. Thus strengthening the urge to be a "gang-banger"! I live on the bad side of town. The VERY bad side of town. In fact I am the only white person on this block. Not that I am making this a racist thing, but there are shootings all the time in this neiborhood and most of which are due to drugs. Drugs that produce money. (although in my opinion marijuana isn't a drug) People listen to rap that tells them that "Being a gangsta is cool, and sell 'dope' to make money. those that don't pay have to be killed, and yada yada yada." If they legalize marijuana like they need to it will not stop all the crime, but it will decrease it. Why won't they legalize it? Because they are making too much money off it right now. Think about it.. A person gets busted for weed. (1st offense) Probation. Everytime you go to see your P.O. you have to pay them which gives money to your local government. Not to count your court cost and all that other fancy garbage. So, in short they need to legalize weed and it will cut down on murders, gangs, and drug lords.Quote:

I am a Project Engineer for a large construction company., I am only 24.. so as you can guess this is a huge deal for me.. I am smart and bad ass at what i do... My company moved me to the Bay Area for a project... I didn't think they would drug test me since I had already passed when I was hired.. but they did. I failed two tests (I subbed) and both results came back abnormal... I was fired on the spot.. I now have to go to rehab in order to get my job back... I don't even smoke that often... This is the most stupid reason for being fired... It never affected my performance at work..and now im out of my job cause of smoke... cmon... This shit needs to be legalized and the fkn government can tax it like they do booze and cigs... cmon our government is in billions of $$$ in debt... this would not only free up the prison systemss but also help out with a debt.. Also they would be able to monitor this shit and keep the "hardcore" drug dealers off the streets since we would be able to get it over the counter this would put the hard core dealers off the streets selling to our kids..
And I'm sorry but i've never sucked dick for some weed... it can't even be compared to yay or meth.. cmon the only side affects of this shit are the munchies and some good sleep. im not going to rob anyone to get my fix... ya feel me??? I lost my job over some BS smoke and Im pissed. There is so many other reasons to lose a job but i think i fkd myself... I knew better..
Just my opinion.. you dont have to agree,, I really dont give a f***.:mad:
Most of us haven't sucked dick for ANY drug, Desmond. Your characterization of drug users who do is bigoted and unfair. Similar to the kind of thing prohibitionists even try to say about cannabis smokers except you're talking more along the line of "Tweaker Madness" rather than "Reefer Madness".
Those who would suck dick for their drug of choice are likely to suck dick for a host of other reasons too pal. And quite frankly if they wish to obtain things they want by sucking dick, more power to em I guess. Hell, I have a few ladies in the neighborhood who could get their lawns mowed for free if they were to suck my dick.
Sorry to hear about your job loss for smoking the herb though. Bigotry is a beotch, ehh bro?
