no wonder these cubicle walls seemed suspicious...

Smoking pot can make it hard to remember what you're doing? nowai!

"You guys. What if this maze is just part of a larger maze? What are we going to, like, achieve if we get out?"
 
2011-10-25 08:35:21 PM
Only because the walls are constantly moving.

I love doing mazes after I smoke eat pot brownies (smoking screws with runners). They take like 8x as long, so you really get your money's worth.

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time, oh no And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.

As someone who possibly could have just smoked some pot, I'll avoid me some mazes.

The real question is why you'd be doing a maze if you were sober.
 
2011-10-25 08:40:04 PM
Sometimes the most obvious is the best.

Chinchillazilla: "You guys. What if this maze is just part of a larger maze? What are we going to, like, achieve if we get out?"

But, what if they are actually making it look like it's a maze? Like the myth of the guy in the cave, man.

Is this a joke reference from a movie? Whats up with the golf claps for this headline?

Don't avoid mazes. Puzzle games are quite fun when you're stoned.

Remember, if you do get stuck in a maze you can call 911 and they'll come and get you.

D_Evans45: Is this a joke reference from a movie? Whats up with the golf claps for this headline?

I think it just has to do with being unexpected. I laughed at it, and I don't laugh at many headlines.
 
2011-10-25 08:44:27 PM
Going by the title only: When stoned, you do not find a need to escape from the prison of walls that keep you going in circles for days on end. AHHHHHHHHHH!.

/Mmmmmmmmm, brownies. ahhhhh, thats better.
 
2011-10-25 08:44:52 PM
LEGALIZE MAZES!
 
2011-10-25 08:45:12 PM
Beautiful, subby. And glad that many others thought so too. :)

It not harder to find you way out, you just stay in because when you're in a maze baked, there's less likely a chance you'll run into an authority figure.

"rats given a drug that mimics the effects of cannabis"


How can these "scientists" make a conclusion like "Marijuana causes disruptions in concentration and memory" when they're not using the drug itself in their studies? I was under the impression that cannabis has yet to be synthesized, let alone "mimicked," due to lack of cooperation by the Feds...
 
2011-10-25 08:49:31 PM
I pictured a hundred unwashed hippies telling each other "You'll never get out of this maze "

Getting lost, thats a job for shrooms.

Using Cheezies as bait may have queered the results slightly.

Virulency: must be new here...

No, that's the problem. Most headlines lately seem to be just another meme. This one is amusing without any specific meme involved.
 
2011-10-25 08:52:55 PM
Only because every time you run in to a dead end, you think "Ha! Dead end. Dead Head!" and light up again.
 
2011-10-25 08:53:29 PM
Same thing happens when you're drunk. Your point?

Marinol? I heard a rumor of synthetic THC pills given to cancer patients.

I thought the whole point of weed was to either a)make money b)chill the fark out or c)both

If you haven't gotten stoned and wandered through a cornfield maze at least once in your life, then you should really consider what kind of life you've been living.

The overhead view is of me in a maze
And you see what I'm hunting a few steps away
And I take a wrong turn and I'm on the wrong path
And the people all watching enjoy a good laugh

Embarrassed with failure, I try to reverse
The course that my tread had already traversed
So doing the trauma engulfing my dream
Invaded through what was an unguarded seam
The torrent of helplessness swept me away
To the cavern of shame and the hall of dismay
Inside me a voice was repeating this phrase:
"You've lost it, you'll never get out of this maze"
You'll never get out of this maze

I'm with you. I had to reread it to make sure I didn't miss something. Not a bad headline, but it didn't strike me as particularly funny.

apv: . I was under the impression ..


Dude. Google the DEA pot farm at the university of Mississippi. Then look into dronabinol. Then look into the JWH series of cannabinomimetics. Then look into the HU series ( eg HU-210). Then look into the CP series and cannabinocyclohexanol etc.

I'm torn on this. I like to smoke pot, but I also like to put people in mazes. Do I avoid myself?
 
2011-10-25 09:03:27 PM
I'm running into a couple of issues with the conclusions drawn in, and the methods described by, this article. Simulated cannabis != the real thing, and the ancillary products included in the ingested matter might change the experienced results greatly. The tests preformed may indicate any number of things, but certainly don't indicate them about marijuana, instead, they provide a great deal of information about the tested substance.
A slightly more subtle point here, but since when was "cannabis" the active ingredient in marijuana? Marijuana is a cannabinoid, but it's active ingredient is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
 
2011-10-25 09:03:30 PM
One of the many things I like about it... it keeps me just paranoid enough to avoid mazes.
