Wow! That is an old poster. That is from the 70s, correct? It has to be with it being 101 FM.

CLEVELAND ROCKS!

Now back to your regularly scheduled program. We're here live discussing the effects of marijuana, it's benefits, as well as the lies told throughout the years keeping this wonderful substance illegal.

Let's take some calls!

The only good thing that ever came out of Cleveland is LeBron James and now he plays in my town.

Now, for anyone who is considering smiking pot: DON'T DO IT!!! If you can't help yourself, then see your doctor first, and make sure your body and mind are fit enough to survive the impact.

I haven't, but I only drink beer. I can't stand the hard stuff! Legalize weed, and I would be inclined to give up drinking completely.

Some people who may have had these experiences have a pre-existing condition they are not aware of, they could be allergic to marijuana just like some people are allergic to berries or dairy.

How many people, what is the percentage, of those that smoked that had these kinds of experiences?
How do those numbers compare to those who had the same thing happen on speed or cocaine?
Even coffee.

Did you know that you can die from drinking too much water?
Did you know you can cause your body to reject needed vitimin C if you do too much?
Ahh yes caffeine. Coffee and a cigarette... the breakfast of champions!

Seriously, and I guess it could happen, but are there cases where people are allergic to marijuana?

I'd say about 80% of pot smokers experience cardiac arrythmia from time to time, and many expoerience it every time they take the drug. Sure, speed and coke trigger it too. What's your point?

So now you're going to insult my city? Tell me again what kind of industry Florida has? Don't get me wrong I love your state, and plan someday to be a snow bird, but let's not pretend that every thing is all hunky dory in your state when it comes to employment, and the housing market. I'm guessing that considering you buy into all the lies about marijuana then that would explain why you would go along with those who believe all the negative hype about this city.

Oh, and BTW Lebron is a sell out POS! He doesn't deserve to be associated with the hardworking people of the great state of OHIO!

At any rate let me educate you about some famous Clevelanders.

Bob Hope
Don Shula... ooh lookie here... the only coach to get the Dolphins to the Super Bowl
Bernie Kosar (Boardman near Youngstown but close enough)
Halle Berry
Drew Carey
Wes Craven
Alan Freed
Arsenio Hall
Don King
John D Rockefeller
Jesse Owens
Margaret Hamilton (the wicked witch of the west from the Wizard of Oz)
Patricia Heaton
Bone Thugs In Harmony

... just to name a few.

I think pretty much everyone on that list left Cleveland.....

Yea, come on down. Don Shula did You can buy a nice condo for $80 000 and watch The Miami Heat three times a week, and Miami Marlins 5 times a week. And we got the Dolphins, Panthers, Canes, beaches full of beautiful women, the food, the music, the nighlife, the blue ocean....you can't beat it. Just watch out for pot crazed zombies....

I've been to Miami, though it's been awhile. I also have a soft spot for the Dolphins being that Shula was the coach. He reminds me of that gentle old uncle that you see every once in awhile at family functions. I was also a Marino fan. My favorite team has been and always will be the Browns, but I always enjoyed watching the Dolphins, and 49ers in the 80s as well.

As for the Heat! I could give a s*** less! I root for the Cavs because they're from Cleveland, but I'm not much of a basketball fan. Lebron and the whole fiasco with the Miami Heat proved what a joke the NBA truly is! I was more attached to the Cavs of the late 80s and early 90s with Price, Ehlo, Nance, "Hot Rod" Williams...ect...

On to the Marlins. I don't mind baseball, and every once in awhile I'll watch. But generally if it's not the Indians, or watching my son's little league games, I don't care! I'm a football guy! Were I to move to Miami, I could definitely adopt the Dolphins as a second home team! But again, hands down the Cleveland Browns are my #1 team HANDS DOWN!

And, sure Cleveland cannot compete with Miami when it comes to the weather. Not too many places can. However; we too have great food, a great night life, as well as beatiful women. Anyone that says otherwise is blowing smoke up your a**!

I'm not worried about "pot crazed zombies." They don't exist! Worry more about the crackheads, meth heads, heroin addicts, and those who take bath salts.

You might have pretty girls there too, but they look better down here in their beach gear, as opposed to what they have to wear to up there in the snow storms.

Anyone that has to reduce themselves to insulting someones hometown in order to bolster their argument, has no argument.
Just look at Finns insistence that I am 17 because of my username.
Talk about putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5.

We also sit right next to one of the largest bodies in the world, so we too have beaches, and I've seen plenty of hotties in bikinis in this city. It doesn't snow here 24/7 365. In fact this past winter was one of the mildest in Cleveland history. I think I shoveled 3 times, and within 3 days it was gone anyway! My son did not have 1 snow day this year, whereas the year before we burned through all of the alotted snow days and then some. Not to mention the past 3 days have been in the 90s, and we've been in a bit of a drought. Another tid bit of information... Cleveland from June through to September averages more wall to wall sunshine than Miami and other sunbelt locations. It's why I do want to be a snow bird someday. Stay here until New Years, and come back around Mother's Day. It's the best of both worlds.

Pot heads aren't a problem here either. It's quite accepted here. In fact while it's still a felony to sell it here (any amount) they've decriminalized possession to a degree to the point of a traffic ticket. You have to have A LOT of it to be considered a felony. Paraphenelia gets you in more trouble, and head shops sell it legally. The real problem is becoming prescription pain pills and heroin. Those 2 go hand in hand, as when one can no longer obtain the pills they resort to heroin.

LOL! Us Clevelanders get it all the time! We're a gritty bunch, so we can take it, and give it back!
