> [@Sight N Sound](#): > > This biggest problem I see in all these people who smoke like DS, is they constantly state “show me the proof”. There are a ton of documented studyies stating the adverse affect of weed, and what it affects, the THC affetcs the nervous system and other areas in the brain. It slows reactions, stays longer in the body due to being stored in fat cell, and so forth.

Oxycontin is used medically, do you think they should sell it at bars for recreational use? No and that common sense. > > This goes beyond the weak “alochol is legal so pot should be as well” argument and affects more than just your personal views. Sure they could tax it and make it legal, in the same instance health care costs will go up due to more and more issue coming about, more problems with people keeping jobs due to drug testing and so forth. there are lots of things that arent good for you that are legal. I’ll bet eating 3 cheeseburgers a day is a lot worse for your health than smoking a joint every day. ---

They test for everything. If you went out drinking till 2 am and come into work at 7 and you still have shit in your urine you are fucked. Um yeah the Tar in Weed is worse than cigarrets, more lung cancer, more neuro problems that lowlives who do abuse it and are on medicaid go to the hospital. Medicaid typically pays 20% of a bill and because its a government funded program, the hospitals, doctors and so forth can’t bill for the difference unless they have a similar government supplement plan. So the healthfield raises the costs of stuff even more. Do you really thing a aspirn in the hospital costs 70 Bucks? No they over charge so they can get their money form the insurance companies. Trust me and don’t argue on this one, I deal with it dailey. This is just the tip of the iceburg. I understand and never assumed you smoked it, its all good. I personally think it should be legalized for medical purposes, Not recreational. EDIT - the nurological effects on the nervous system will catch up to you over time. It may not destroy you in 2 years but when dumbasses are laid up in medical homes, and so forth who do you think flips the bills? Tax payers. Most people don’t see this type of shit. Anyone that has worked in the Health field has and sees the stupid shit and its end results, but becaused people don’t read it on their “for pot” websites eveidently it doesn’t exist… ---

simple example is the hippie stoners and acid freaks. look where they are now? homes because they shit themselves cause of too many drugs, mental institutions for brain farts or total loss of control, etc. I know a local guy they call brown acid who is still high from the 80’s. all he did was smoke weed and do LSD and now he isn’t allowed ketchup in the bar I work at cause he smears it all over his face instead of on his fries. ---

You guys crack me up, you are trying to compare alcohol to Pot. Its not the fucking same, I don’t care how much you want to try and make it. EDIT - Not to mention my example was for alcohol between 2 am and 7 am which is 5 hours. I wasn;t saying alcohol stays in your system for more than 24 hours. Weed on the other hand does because of how the body tries to rid THC. The body stores THC in fat cells, you don;t piss out a shit load of fat cell because if you did, people wouldn’t fat. Alcohol on the other had goes throuh the liver then to the kidneys and is escreated through sweat, urine, and so forth. Two different Means of travel through the body. ---

Your denial is beneath you, and thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs, I see through you. If you don’t believe drugs have done good things for us, then go home and burn all your records, all your tapes, and all your CDs because every one of those artists who have made brilliant music and enhanced your lives? REALLY fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few songs.🤣 I have never seen two people on pot get in a fight because it is fucking IMPOSSIBLE. “Hey, buddy!” “Hey, what?” “Ummmmmmm…” End of argument. They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you’re high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it’s not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference. ---

Since its stored in fat cells it remains in your system and when the fat stores are used for energy in your body they have the potential of affecting the body again once used. Before DS starts with the BS comments, no I’m not saying you can smoke one joint and then can get high for a month just by burning fat. I am saying that as you smoke on a regualr basis and it gets stored in the fat cells there is a potential for a high concentration that is re released into the system and affecting you when you least expect it. Alochol doesn’t get stored in your body… ---
