WARNING: Coming to a town near you- Beasters

[Matt the Funk]

Get over yourself, it's just weed.

If you treat it just something for fun to do at parties or whatever thats fine. But some people really enjoy the plant and everything about it. The experience of injesting it, and growing+harvesting it. Also if you compared weed to another hobby, you wouldn't want something low quality, that looked good quality, but you were also paying the high quality price, would you?

I don't look at it as 'just weed' at all.
I enjoy growing as a hobby. I am fascinated by the plant, which is somewhat unusual in the plant kingdom for its method of reproduction and medical potential. It's not 'just weed'- it's a plant worthy of studying.
Smoking Beasters or any other unpleasant type of bud out of desperation to me screams NEED more than anything else. Like the cannabis equivalent of the bum drinking Listerine out of a paper bag.

Right stinky, it's not just weed to me. Some people spend their lives studying, growing, and harvesting fruits and vegetables. Some people spend their lives studying the different compounds in cannabis that cause you to get high. There is so much variety in the cannabis species, it's just so fascinating. What makes other plants so much better than cannabis? In fact, I personally think cannabis is one of the most interesting plants to study, because of it's wide range of effects, that have medicinal and recreational benefits. What other plant has so many purposes?

While it may seem farfetched to those who settle on living a basic life, with a "regular job", etc... some people want to spend their lives doing what they're passionate about.

What do you have to say about people like Soma, Jorge Cervantes, Simon from Serious seeds, Shantibaba, DJ Short, and all of the other greats that have spend their lives studying and breeding an amazing plant? Personally, that's the kind of life I'd like to live, and I will do everything I can to make sure it happens. Luckily, I'm young, so I already have a good start.

There's nothing wrong with studying, growing, or smoking weed, but when your life revolves around an illegal plant then you're probably addicted. Weed in America can take away everything you've worked for, and it can ruin lives b/c unfortunatly it's illegal. So if your life is focused on getting high, then eventually you will get caught and you will suffer for your actions. For the vast majority of us, it's illegal and there are no legal means to make a living off of weed, so it is JUST a hobby.

I told him basically to chill out b/c there's no reason to ruin a good thing for people. Many people enjoy beasters and really don't need or want to spend the extra money for headies. HB really should be greatful there are beasters b/c this drives down the demand for headies, which in return lowers the price we all pay for headies.

Aight, since you're still young. Be smart and not get caught with weed. Go to college. Get a degree in biology, toxicology, horticulture, microbiology, chemistry, ect... then go to grad school to specialize in a sub field of plants. Then take that degree and move to Cali or Amsterdam and open a growing business/club. Hell, you couldl even get a MD and PhD and study the effects of THC and Cannaboids. All I'm saying is if you truely love weed, then don't waste away your life smoking it, when you can really do a lot to advance our knowledge of the plant or learn how to grow it and make a living off of it. Just don't sit around all day smoking weed and doing nothing, but you'll never acheive much in life.

That's what I plan on doing, I love growing plants, even if it's not MJ, so I figure if I'm in a place where it's illegal, I can use my knowledge for growing other plants etc... but I have full intention on moving to a place where I can legally grow such as like you mentioned California, for the dispensaries, or (when I can afford to) move overseas to the 'dam. Depending on the legal situation in Canada, perhaps B.C.

College- Check.
Biology degree- Check.
Legitimate work experience at a legal herb hydroponics facility- Check.
Good job running a chemistry lab- Check.

Next step- Masters degree in Plant and Soil Sciences or Horticulture.

With any luck, we'll get decrim by the time I'm out. The state I intend to move to eventually has already gone medical.


We shall see what the future holds for Miss Stinky.

NO.
It's not like the bum.

It's like the grandmother who takes too many aspirins because she can't afford her prescription.

[stinkyattic]

steve i am strictly talking about kids who are buying beasters for rec use.

they have very little medicinal value after they have been kiefed and processed. it sucks.
you should seriously know me better than that to accuse me of being insensitive to the neeeds of med users, come ON
