Hell, an old girlfriend of mine and her daughters were going to Mexico for a wedding. They FIRST went to the doctor proclaiming that they had such a fear of flying that they needed an "airline downer" to ease the anxiey. Well, they all got their pill for the flight down and one for the flight back. On the way to the airport the "big joke" was how fucked up they'd all be after their stop at the airport bar mixed with their pill.

I know that a toking lounge is FAR off but what an idea.:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
I hear you totally. There's situations like this everywhere even in my own personal life. One time at work I had a magic cookie I baked not realizing that I overdosed my butter. Well needless to say I was pretty messed up at work but I was still coherent. Everyone could tell something was wrong so I told them that I had just taken a bunch of Unisom last night, still didn't sleep, and was groggy and hazy from the over the counter drug.

Funny how it was acceptable to them if I started tripping on some OTC medicine but heaven forbid that I say cannabis.

My main fear is that proposals like these actually make us look bad and be counter productive. It's hard enough to make advancement as it is since we've had 70 years of government propaganda telling everyone that it is SOOOOOOOOOO wrong for you. There is quite a bit of prejudice against us.

Cannabis prejudice is similar to prejudice against blacks in this country (no where on the same level but the situations are similar) in that there is a vast amount of ignorance surrounding Cannabis and it will take Time to get people to change and realize that there is no harm in it. Even with the civil rights movement started it took some 14-15 years of protesting and trying to get rights.

Let's hope that cannabis has similar success. :thumbsup:
