Was there anything in Fark about the 22 year old girl who was busted for weed and threatened with prison to force her to become a drug informant, and then she was murdered as a result?

Our drug policy is run by bastards. Farking bastards. I hate all our leaders who smoked weed and built prisons for other drug users. Clinton, Bush, etc.

The news anchors and cops in the video sure do think they are witty.

Valdes: On the flip side, I think that pot should be 100% legal. I realize that gambling is an addictive activity, but I don't think marijuana is.

Then explain your bullshiat post on 06:14:08 PM where you claimed a bullshiat study about addictive properties.

Anyone who thinks this instance of stupidity represents how all people who smoke weed act can go fark themselves.

O.K., the guy already has enough green in his possession to be relatively happy for a little while. But, instead of finding some nice young thing to share it with, he enters an establishment where (except under the most unlikely of circumstances) he would be relieved of all his `green' forthwith. And then he lays out his green on the felt???

Boy has more problems than good green can alleviate. Lock that guy down (not for possession of the green, but for idiocy - just imagine the stats for that affliction).

It was prolly schwag.

Mmmmkaay:

// And i'm high right now so i'm getting a kick out of .... ummm what was i talkin about?

Aw c'mon. Did you folks not see the humor in that? All you have to do is go back and read his posts from the beginning (in order). It gets crazy pretty quickly. Hilarious.

the-meter-man: This guy is obviously a high joint roller.

FTFY :)

Valdes: This is another common characteristic of addict. A lot of time is spent creating images of the great and wonderful things. Pathetically, however, they never seems to make even the smallest dream come true. When addict indulge, they fail in reckless desperation and the depths of their misery are fathomless as their dream world comes crashing down. Sadly, they will struggle back, dream more dreams, and of course suffer more misery. No one can convince them that their greatness will not someday come crashing down, like the Berlin Wall under David Hasselhoff. They believe they will, for without this dream world, life for them would not be tolerable.

You need to smoke a joint. Chill.

Valdes: Researchers in New Zealand found that addicts by the age of 15 were more than three times (300%) more likely to develop illnesses such as schizophrenia. Other research has backed this up, showing that use increases the risk of psychosis by up to 700% for heavy users, and that the risk increases in proportion to the amount of use. Additionally, the younger a person uses, the higher the risk for schizophrenia, and the worse the schizophrenia is when the person does develop it. Research by psychiatrists in inner-city areas speak of addiction being a factor in up to 80 percent of schizophrenia cases.

So people with schizophrenic tendencies are more likely to do drugs?

Judasbot: Valdes: Signs of an ADDICT:

INABILITY AND UNWILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT REALITY. Hence the escape into the dream world.
EMOTIONAL INSECURITY. An addict finds he or she is emotionally comfortable only when chasing the dream. It is not uncommon to hear an addict say: "The only place I really felt like I belonged was there. There I felt secure and comfortable. No great demands were made upon me. I knew I was destroying myself, yet at the same time, I had a certain sense of security."
IMMATURITY. Many addictaccept the fact that they were unwilling to grow up. Subconsciously they felt they could avoid mature responsibility , and so the struggle to escape responsibility finally became a subconscious obsession.

This is so interesting. Please, cram some more of your unsolicited propoganda down my throat.

mikaloyd: Understands completely

She is so goddamn hot.....Definitely NSFW (boobies galore)

Pipe dream!

done.

Having actually read my way down the comments,

I can only say.

Valdes has won this thread.

9/10, seeing as they are still biting.

/Rolling a joint now.
//Valdes is cool to come over and smoke one with me anytime.

Valdes: This addicition can be one of the easiest forms of addicition to hide from friends and family. Addict can shut the door and erase their internet files to hide any evidence that they have been on line. Help Guide studied 389 addicts who sought care at a health clinic. Only 31 participants reported that they were addicted, but these 31 were pathological addicts. The study indicated that while this addiction was the least common type of addiction noted, those who indulged on the internet were more likely to develop other unreleated problematic habits, such as alchoholism, hard drug use, or marijuana addiction.

I'm sorry dude, but I was addicted to weed long before I was addicted to the internets. OCD maybe? Who knows? I don't have money to see a shrink when weed is $300/Z

Prohibition FTW!!

Please shut the fark up. I understand you like to get high and avoid the real world but please shut the fark up. The girl was told not to go to the meeting with the drug dealers, she went, she died. Boo hoo.

"Breaking an 80 Oxycontin!"

Sorry, but if you haven't smoked pot at least a few times, you've missed out on one of the things that make life worth living.

Say what you want about addiction, I know when you have fun, enjoy music, savor food, truly enjoy the people around you and wake up with nothing more than the pleasant memories of the night before, you've lived life the way it should be lived.

Yeah you can do the same things sans pot but when you've tried it, you'll realize the marked difference.

Not advocating, but it seems to me the people I work with who have probably never touched pot are more socially inept and as a result morans in their job.


Humble opinion etc.

Valdes:

That was farking terrific.

Well done, sir.

real shaman

Why do you think they call it "DOPE?"

Yeah, we know he was high. What's your excuse?

trancemission: Valdes had me going right up to Hasslehoff and suicide by hammer to the sternum...

7/10

You win the thread, had him pegged first and early.

Hammer to the sternum! Now who would think of that? Does that happen?

tonguedepressor: "Breaking an 80 Oxycontin!"

you have no idea how jealous i am

1 oz. of Grinch Turds please.

Valdes: On the flip side, I think that pot should be 100% legal. I realize that gambling is an addictive activity, but I don't think marijuana is. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go watch Harold and Jumar II. I can't wait to see what schenanigans those crazy non-cacausian potheads get into next!!

Well played, sir. Outstanding!

We had my wife's sister living with us after her bone marrow transplant for myodysplasia (sp), she was on a battery of an Oxy and Percs cocktail, I forget the dosage but I figured out the street value of the Oxy's alone was 200K per yr, at $1 per mg if she sold em. She didn't.

Of course 3 times 0.0001 is only 0.0003. IOW, you are still VERY unlikely to develop schizophrenia and that's IF you accept that marijuana usage was causal to the schizophrenia. It's much more likely that schizophrenics seek out forms of self-medication.

HTH.

Digital Communist: Anyone who defends marijuana being illegal while not actively fighting to criminalize alcohol is a hypocrite.

...or just being an obedient little republican automaton.

After all, the Democrats have done so much to push towards decriminalization (let alone legalization) of marijuana.

How much did marijuana arrests go up once Clinton took office?

Oh, perhaps you didn't know this - and I don't have the exact figures offhand - but they went up a LOT - up to 750,000 marijuana arrests per year.

You're kidding yourself if you think it is only Republicans who are responsible for possession of marijuana remaining a crime.

pssst, Udmay ehay admitteday to eingbay a rolltray. shhhbay,

It's was odd to click on a Youtube link and see my local news come up.

Laugh if you must,
but I like the dudes style.

mikaloyd: ThatsTremendous: I'm in a US med school, and am on the dean's list.

And I smoke pot.

It's the person, not the drug.

Imagine what you could've accomplished if you had'nt crippled yourself. Tsk.

Yeah, you could be the dean, man! Stop holding yourself back, put down the bong and reach for the stars!

/just kidding
//packing a bowl right now

Somaticasual: Can't really lump those folks in with the guy that smokes a bowl after a long day, much like you can't lump them in with the guy that drinks a cold one after a long day.

//moderation. It's that often-ignored middle ground.

This is fine as long as you don't impose your definition of "moderation" on others. You know, one man's "bowl" could be another man's "five." Doesn't mean he has any intent to distribute, or anything.

Wow. I was expecting a good plethora of pot jokes, but all I got was some asshat posting bullshiat that makes Bevets look classy.

Looks like another idiot to add to my ignore list.

According to a recent study, Valdes is an idiot.

I smoke everyday, whats wrong with the rest of you?
