[quote=“fairgentleman Z,post:17,topic:31895"”] Really? Taking a combination of 5 depressants makes time appear to go faster? This is condtridictary to Discovery Science programs on “_Time_”, “_Exploring Time_”, and “_How Animals Tell Time_”, where in labs rats were conditioned to activate a button in 20 sec intervals. After being subjected to marajuana the preceived time went slower, not faster. Adversely when subjected to cocaine time went faster. Just another example of closed minded conservative views on the effects of marajuana. [/quote] It’s called a joke. Just another example of a liberal having his head so far up his ass that he fails to see the light right in front of his face. Personally, I don’t give a shit if they legalize it or not. There are much more important issues that I base my political affiliation on. ---

3-speed auto, running on 3 cylinders 50% of the time burning a quart a week. It was pretty badass. ---
