I say, out yourself, brake the taboo...

Maybe it's not as simple for everybody and i do not blame nobody neither...But if some don't do it already but will not suffer opression, get out of the closet and speak of pot as something common as alchool or cigarette...Yes there is some numb fucking retarded overdoing with pot, but as much as with other legal drug!!! When somebody tells me "shhhh don't talk too much about this around" I say, why not, why can't i really say what i think and not what people want me to think...I don't say it will change people's mind but it will show them it's no big deal...

My father blamed me i talked too much about it, as if my life depended on it...i reensured him, "i'm in a stage in my life where yes i think it is important to talk about it, as it is wrongly illegal...

He is starting to be an activist himself, but not too much, like he's at the head of a big company...

So i say bring the word out, not oftenly just here and there, and do not argue agressively,as it proves your wrong... :dance:


-Dude

I am already outed i went to youth groupat the UCC worthless stoned

i talk about it at school and stuff, some teachers say good things sbout it too. i go to public schools so they dont really care about it, most people know i do it and some come up to me and ask if ill sell them some, but i will talk about it untill its decriminalized.

My parents too said that i talked about it too much and that they are concerned that I am obsessed with it.

Bah, I just like to talk.

PS: My dad has been smoking pot for 40 yes 40 years. He's 63.

I'm constantly having discussions about the ilegality of weed. I'ts funny, during the course of an average debate on pot's pros and cons, I will remain perfectly calm and the opposition are always the ones getting animate. Often their anger leads them to bring up the same arguments over and over, I had a debate once where I had to debunk the same argument three different times in three different ways.

you're good! being calm is such the easiest way to "solve" problems...i never been not able to beat down anti-pot arguments, they are so not profound (the arguments) it leads them nowhere...

Everyone I know knows MOM DAD everyone.....even people I know really don''t approve and I really don't give a fuck and I have a huge consious...butNOT for that shit...if someone doesn't like it they can eat shit and go on with their miserable lives

like esteroic said... calm and nice is the key...

it may not get it legalized by itself, but it helps...

when they see that we dont get all riled up or even raise our voice, but the other guy's screaming and clenching his fists... they might see who they would rather be.

i tell people who want to hear it. im not going to tell someone that i smoke if its just going to lower their opinion of me.

bottom line is most people are too ignorant and pious to listen to whatever reasoning you supply. if anyone took 3 minutes to actually look up the effects of different drugs, then maybe it would be worth my time to try and debate the pros and cons with them, but they dont. trying to debate the illegality of pot with someone who doesnt smoke useless. theyll spew out the verbal diarea that they read on those stupid ads "weed is a million times more potent now than 3 years ago" and then theyll shut their ears.

you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink.

the problem is that it needs a lil psychological skills or sales skills to change somebody's opinion and you are true, a lot of people won't listen to you...so therefore you are also right, not everybody is made to talk about it...

For myself, i have a certain influence in my surrendings, i am good looking( ia mean not cute but clean looking), i have a really good job and all that shit so it's easier for me, and i am reading a lot about the opposition's argument, and that is something not everybody have the time to do...So when people start to tell me about all those lies sbout potency and braincells and shit, i have some counter arguments...That helps to bring the horse to the water or at least give him some clues on where is that god damn lake...

But on the other hand, by talking to people who already knows about the not so true propaganda by the goverment, that is a waste of time, nobody benefits of your talking in that situation...So by talking smoothely or some kind of professionnaly (you gotta earn his confidence before trying to implement your ideas) to anti-pot ppls you guide them but do not tell them what to think...

Never debate on a subject, because there is always opposition in a debate...try to sell them an idea instead. Of course not everyone buys all the time but what goes around comes around...If you talk about it, you have some chance, if you don't, well don't expect nothing!

I am not picking on you just expressing what i think is a good and positive way to legalisation...And of course i don't expect everybody to talk about it as i know that in some places you could get shot for this...

Peace out! :dance:

My approach is "Believe me, or I'll prove it".

I said that to my Brother, and he said, "I don't care, I won't accept (your proof)."

He's 39.

hey beachguy, i am not sure i understand that quote, well i don't understand what is positive in it...

went to the park and saw this kid flying a kite. The kid was really excited. I don't know why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now if he had had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed.

I was showing that it's gonna be hard to get into some people's heads because their whole life is consumed by material growth and concern for their young children.

Maybe, I was thinking out loud. :stoned:

The positive thing about that post is to be able to get an idea, or in this case a fact, through someone's head, who doesn't have time to discuss "pot use", would be the ultimate goal.
