I've never tried it, and never will. People say you are not effected by it. I say bulls***!

Why did you pull of the road and laugh as you s*** your pants?

Stoners!!..............
That's the thing though: why does whether you will try it or have tried it before matter? You say it as though your choice to not try it is the benchmark standard on whether other people should have the right to smoke or cultivate a natural plant.

Regulation is often just as bad as criminalizing.

Reading this leads me to believe you've never really been around many stoners before. I have, and this kind of behavior is incredibly rare.

What kind of weirdos are you hanging out with, dude? Seriously!! I've probably smoked more weed than Bob Marley at this point, and haven't crapped my pants since I was a baby... you sure these people weren't lacing that weed with GHB?

As for the punchcard thing, I have no idea about that - seeing as I NEVER smoke before work, and haven't had a job with punchcards for many years. But again, that sounds like they were doing more than pot. I just smoked a (half) joint about 5 minutes ago, and still managed to type this on my iPhone without even making a spelling error. LMAO

P.S. The joint I just smoked was a gift from my favorite dispensary, given to everyone who was wearing an "I Voted" sticker... gotta love California!

There are plenty of other, healthier, legal pain-killer options. You don't need to be a hispter douche and insist on weed.

You have a problem with hipsters dontcha? Well pot has been popular longer than hipsters have. You sound so so young.

There are not healthier options, just legal-er ones. And that just changed (see Colorado/Washington) and will continue to change. When it's no longer illegal your whole case crumbles since you have nothing to start with. There is no reason for it to be illegal, no matter how many hipsters picked on you in school or whatever.

Really? Please name a few... actually, I'll let you tell me which of these are "healthier" (and have caused fewer deaths) than marijuana:

Oxycontin
Morphine
Valium
Fentanyl
Cortisone
Xanex
Vioxx (that one almost killed me!)
Aspirin
Ibuprofen

Oh, and marijuana isn't only used for pain relief - it's also used to relieve nausea, wasting, PTSD/anxiety, glaucoma, etc. Are you really going to tell my friend with stage 4 ovarian cancer, who (legally) uses marijuana during chemo, that she should find something else? And do you know of any pharmaceutical that is equally effective in letting her eat without vomiting?
