4. Plastic bags should always be kept away from toddlers.
Also, the munchies can make you fat. But at least you'll have enjoyed yourself getting there.

shitty, seed and stem filled mex weed while rolling a joint way back in high school.

Really bad pot, in particular, can be quite dangerous!

it in the trash cause it was just rope stuff.. we dug it out of the trash, it looked good and smelled and tasted good.. so we got some gallon baggies and made some really huge 1/2 pound Lids and put some papers and matches in them.. then we drove to San Fransisco, about 90 miles and drove down Haight streat at 5 am and threw them out the window.. we had the whole back seat full of them.. we threw them all over SF.. golden gate park and left them on the seat on the cable car..:hippie: :smoke: :think: :mad: :rofl:

71. no.. it was 108*, it had to make a very small hole with my knife and let
it depressurize slowly into my mouth.. or it would have exploded and killed me.. it was rather rounded.. it had been there a while.. but the color wasnt faded.
at least it was wet..

i spent about 6 hours under the nowhere overpass.. it had no on or off ramps, so i walked up the road around the turn about a mile away.. there was a huge truck stop and all kinds of stores and water.. i bought a gallon, and before i got out to the overpass a guy picked me up and took me right to where i lived..

"I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?"

Thats really all I need to know.

Even if Willie Nelson lost an eye from an errant bag of weed, he'd still fight for your right to toke up. Its just the way he was raised. Its a southern thing.

31. not dangerous...
Edited on Sat Oct-21-06 01:40 AM by truthpusher
...since your cat can not throw a bag (full of marijuana) at you... you are not in danger...

however, if your cat is exceptionally skillful she/he may be able to 'swat' a bag of marijuana in a manner which would cause the bag to fly through the air, striking you in the eye, and possibly causing permanent blindness...

I change my mind...

even in the hands (sorry, paws) of cats... marijuana can be dangerous!

54. because it was used by "those" people?
Back in 1937 the Evil Weed was associated in the mind of the public with jazz musicians and people who liked that kind of music, and you know about that type. It starts with listening to a record "just to see what it's like", then going to dances where they play it live, then to the hard-core stuff, like nightclubs that let in people from different backgrounds and even (gasp!) races). And We Can't Have That.

And of course, once it's illegal it has to stay that way, because to legalize it would be to admit that the government was wrong.

What's really bad about the anti-marijuana laws it that it leads people to think that if the government lied about one drug's effects, they'll lie about all of them. Unfortunately, there are some drugs that do have really bad side effects - "Speed Kills", as we used to say in the 70s.

Marijuana probably does have some harmful side effects if used excessively - the smoke can't be all that good for the lungs. And I once burned my fingers. On the whole, though, we're ignoring a potentially useful herb (and remember most medicines originally came from herbal sources) because we have to perpetuate a 70-year old fear.
