What's the most ignorant, stupid comment you've ever heard about weed?

[4252]

So, first I had to get that off my chest.

Just the day before yesterday, one of the most ignorant things I heard was from a co-worker; a self professed substance abuse expert, and psychological counselor, no less. He informed me that cannabis goes out of your system in one day, so nobody should worry too much about the random quarter annual testing we have to endure where I work. Since the guy's a putz anyway, and I secretly hoped he'd be tested and fired, on the basis of his own ignorance, I kept my mouth shut and nodded as if I were being told some great truth I wasn't aware of. But he's getting fired at the end of the month anyway, for incompetence though, not anything substance related. He just doesn't know it yet.

The other week I was out having a drink with a friends family and they were talking about one of their relatives being thin; and they were all like "oh it's that cannabis stuff that's keeping her thin, she needs to get off it" WTF!!! I've also met people who think crack and weed are the same thing! lol Or when there's a car crash or something and somebody says "oh, the driver was probably out of his/her mind on that pot stuff" The people who make these silly, ignorant uninformed Rating: 5

I hate it when I hear people state that people whom smoke marijuana are jokes. We aint no joke, marijuana expands the mind.

Something I read about has to be the most stupid comment ever:

Quote by Harry Anslinger, he said that "Marijuana makes darkies think they're as good as white men".

WTF???

Hi drofnats,

I can appreciate your point of view, but must add my own spin, if you don't mind.

I started smoking reefer in '68; I remember the first experience like it was last month, very enjoyable. Soon found out about the effects of being easily sidetracked as you mentioned in the telling of your fire incident. I liken it to learning to drive a standard transmission car; at first it takes all your attention, and you're still not so good at it. Eventually you get to the point where it's almost a reflex; you can pull away from a traffic light, uphill, while unwrapping a stick of gum, talking with the passenger next to you, and admiring the legs of a girl in a miniskirt walking on the sidewalk, always in full control of the car. Getting stoned is something like that. You find out what the effects are, and then compensate by whatever means are necessary to keep you fully functional. Just realizing your mind might wander is half the battle; you allocate your resources accordingly, and control your impulses to do too many things at one time. It doesn't take too long to understand that the thing has its place, and don't let yourself be impaired while doing anything that'll require more concentration than you expect to have when stoned. Driving is something I don't do, as is operating a milling machine, a lawn mower, doing my taxes, etc. It comes down to good judgement, and a sensible person usually has enough to get by.

Not saying you're wrong about all this, just offering my opinion.

Cheers for that.

Just had a look at your profile and it's just as I thought, your still very young, had not much expierence with anything really. The fire incident happened about 10 years ago and I learned a big lesson, and that's that I don't go frying eggs whilst stoned. Lets face it I,m twenty years older and I don't know everything.

I was actually more projecting how I've found I feel about one of my close friends. Who I must sadly say, is probably addicted to cough syrup. -laughs- Anyway, I apologize if I sounded like a douche. I don't know you, and I'm not trying to judge you by any means. ^.^
