"My name is Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and I'd like to warn you about the dangers of marijuana.."

[originalpckelly]

"Here you will see some marijuana in a bag. It looks innocent enough, but marijuana has been known to jump out of its bag and force you to smoke crack at gunpoint."

"Now I will try the marijuana, to show the dangerous effects of this drug. To smoke marijuana, you must first light your blunt, err, joint, err, DANGEROUS MARIJUANA CIGARETTE! I prefer to use a zippo lighter, at it just looks cool. The next stage is sucking on the DANGEROUS MARIJUANA CIGARETTE! This will allow the fire to receive oxygen, much in the way a bellows is used to stoke a fire. When you inhale, you must hold the breath for a little while, and let the smoke of the DANGEROUS MARIJUANA CIGARETTE to absorb into your bloodstream."

"At this time you will begin to feel the effects of the DANGEROUS MARIJUANA! Symptoms may include, but are not limited to:
1. Homicidal or suicidal thoughts
2. Feelings of sexual promiscuity
3. Questions about the existence of God
4. Mistrust of authority figures
5. The urge to eat 100 Twinkies in one hour"


"No Larry, I'm not stoned right now. In fact, I don't believe there are any stones in this studio."

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. When Gupta retires after years of good service as SG...

it's going to be fun looking up these threads in the archives.

[originalpckelly]

3. "And that service will NOT BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DANGEROUS MARIJUANA!"

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. And in 4 years when we still don't have Universal Health Care

I will remember as well. :)

[donco6]

2. Well, I can attest to the Twinkie part.

The rest is pure bullshit.

:)

[originalpckelly]

9. To be blunt, you are not AWARE OF THE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES!

THE MARIJUANA IS EVIL
THE GUN IS GOOD

[donco6]

25. Dr. Gupta, the only dangerous thing about it is . . .

. . . what it does to my waistline.

!!

[SteveM]

66. IT'S ALL A DEADLY FRONTA! Designed to convince you that...

THE MARIJUANA IS GOOD
THE GUN IS GOOD (you shoulda seen the wild turkey I shot with mine! I had both Wild Turkey and wild turkey!)

[panader0]

4. When I read this it made me go upstairs and burn one.

Jeez, when I first smoked in '66, I was sure it would be legal soon. How many years was booze illegal? 15 or so? Damn, LEGALIZE IT!

[Uncle Joe]

31. They've turned and are turning it in to a vehicle for "for profit prison slave labor."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4776122

However I suspect, the for profit prison slave labor movement will not stop with pot smokers.

The subliminal message behind the Republican sponsored, corporate media bucket carrying, diatribe of Democrats being "soft on crime" was in fact a conditioning of the American People's psyche to be weak on freedom. About the only time the corporate media ever show regard for freedom is when using it as a slogan for propaganda purposes to wage war.

This is all done for the sole purpose of gradually subjugating the American People's independence, privacy and freedom to the concept of corporate supremacy.

[John Q. Citizen]

5. Does Gupta consider marijuana a significant public health risk?

[originalpckelly]

No, he considers it a risk to him getting through a report.

"NO I'M NOT STONED!"

[spanone]

6. most folks who have lived with the weed have lost the 'twinkie urge' years ago

this is reefer madness stuff

but don't forget, dr, ganja and all the other appointees will be enforcing President Obama's policies, not their ownl

[originalpckelly]

7. THE DANGEROUS MARIJUANA!

You will reefer to it by its formal name, or not at all!

[burythehatchet]

26. Reefer Madness has been making the cable movie rounds quite a lot.

[tridim]

29. Yea, in my case it certainly makes food taste MUCH better.

But in no way does it make me eat more food. It simply heightens senses, which IMO is a good thing.

Show me 100 potheads and I'll show you a bell curve of average human weight.

[ShortnFiery]

8. We have to enlist Bob Dylan to get the good Doc Sanjay STONED.

:evilgrin:

[originalpckelly]

12. I think this calls for an Obama Inaugural Collectors Blunt...

yes that's right ladies and gentlemen it's DOPE for HOPE!

[JuniperLea]

20. Hey! Don't Bogart that shit!

Keep it moving... past it to the left:)

[Mnemosyne]

64. And it ages you terribly! This guy is only 17yo!

He has more stashed to infect us all with the madness of MARIJUANA!!



Passing to the left! :evilgrin:

[ZombieHorde]

10. What is this about?

[originalpckelly]

14. Gupta is against herbal medicine.

[Oldenuff]

73. Give the dude a break would ya?

I mean come on...he's the choice for Surgeon General.He wouldn't be just another,in a long line of, politicians who want to control what you think and do.Right?

[flakey_foont]

11. and let's not forget

uncontrollable bursts of silliness
enhanced creativity
as well as
...uh
...
...

what were we talking about, man?

[originalpckelly]

13. Did you just ask me something?

:smoke:

[flakey_foont]

22. I think so

what was it again? Do you have any Cheetos?

[originalpckelly]

27. Woah! My fingers are orange!

[CrownPrinceBandar]

15. Dr Gupta will ignore the will of the people to keep us safe from......

THE DANGEROUS MARIJUANA!

[originalpckelly]

16. Either that or he's smoking it and keeps forgetting to change his official stance on it.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

23. Official stance on what?................

:smoke:

[dflprincess]

71. As well as the dangers of single payer healthcare

n/t

[Pithlet]

17. We were totally on the brink of legalization.

And now it's never going to happen!

Really, I'm not a Gupta fan. But I think people are making way too much out of this.

[originalpckelly]

21. I smell a skunk!

[Pithlet]

42. Exactly the kind of intelligent, well thought out argument

that will win us our rights. Keep it up! :thumbsup: EDIT never mind, I see I stepped into a not serious thread. I wish this stuff would get posted in the lounge. It's confusing.

[originalpckelly]

55. Comedy with a point is far more dangerous than a sword...

because you don't see it coming!

[Pithlet]

60. Or I was just partaking myself.

:silly: No, not really. Really, I don't agree with Gupta at all. I just think it's just the Surgeon General. He doesn't even set policy. It's a stupid choice, but it wouldn't have meant legaliation even if it had been a pro legalization doc.

[SteveM]

67. Would have responded sooner if I coulda see the screen through the smoke (nt)

[JuniperLea]

69. Olberman and Colbert...

Among others, have made a living at it!

[Fumesucker]

65. I agree, lying about something as unimportant as hundreds of thousands of people in prison

Is nothing to get concerned about.

:eyes:

[originalpckelly]

74. Exactly, there are tons people doing time for pot selling/possession...

and it's really ridiculous.

[JuniperLea]

18. #4 is the one they are really worried about...

The rest is bullshit.

Big Pharma hates Mary Jane.

[Beausoleil]

19. "I'm not stoned right now"

Really. I'm not.

[IADEMO2004]

24. What would HST say

[NorthCarolina]

28. Questioning the existence of god??

Pot did that?? :freak:

[originalpckelly]

30. That was meant to be Dog...

:P

"Hey where's the dog?"

"Do we even have one?"

[tridim]

32. Yep, right as Jesus applied his Cannabis oil tincture.

[FiveGoodMen]

33. Are those real quotes?

Because if items 3 & 4 are really what he said, then he's a very dangerous, theocratic, nazi fuck.

[originalpckelly]

34. It sounds like you need to drop the blunt and step away from the computer.

:rofl:

[FiveGoodMen]

40. Really? Because my question had a lot more content than your response.

And I really was asking whether anyone knew if that was parody or real quotes.

[TNOE]

35. Everybody MUST get stoned

I think its in Leviticus or something.

[texastoast]

44. No,

It was Bob Dylan.



:P

[TNOE]

46. It was a joke.

Of course it was Dylan. I just "assumed" most people participating in this thread would get it.

[texastoast]

52. Updated just for you

:smoke:

[TNOE]

54. That's better.

Right back atcha.

[Phred42]

36. This is your Brain - This is your Brain on Gupta

[texastoast]

38. I think it is fine for some people

And unfine for others. Everyone has a unique relationship with weed. I don't think females under 21-22 or males under 24-25 should use either weed or alcohol. The frontal cortex is still developing. Adults? They can make their own choices and live with it.

But as long as alcohol is legal, it is absolutely insane for weed to be illegal. I hate paying taxes to keep weed users in jail.

[tridim]

43. Are you implying that cannabis kills brain cells?

Because that's the opposite of the truth according to recent (non government propaganda) articles.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn8155

[texastoast]

48. No.

Just that your frontal cortex is not fully developed.

[tridim]

50. Well then you must have a link to an paper that proves cannabis inhibits brain development?

[texastoast]

53. One more time

I twice said the cortex is not developed in females until age 21-22 and in males until age 24-25. I have an opinion that I do not think it is wise for young people to use pot or alcohol until they are over these ages. That is all.

[tridim]

59. Fine, but that has nothing to do with Cannabis and brain development.

I could claim that oxygen inhibits cortex development, but that doesn't make it any more true that what you claim.

[texastoast]

62. Are you smoking now?

I claim nothing other than I don't think it's a good idea for people with cortices that are not completely developed to smoke pot or drink alcohol. I do claim (based on scientific fact in a majority of research subjects--which I do not want to google for you right now because I'm going home) that the cortex is not fully developed until ages 21-25. I never said that pot inhibits cortex development.

Criminee.

[tridim]

63. No. I only smoke occasionally and never during work hours.

However, I do spend time on DU during work hours. :)

[opihimoimoi]

39. I am Hoping this guy is not another Harry Anslinger....OH LORDY

[ColbertWatcher]

41. Gupta will save us from ...

REEFER MADNESS
... turning all our children into hooligans and whores!




http://www.sho.com/site/reefermadness/media.do

[TNOE]

49. And jumping out of buildings

There was a real rash of that behavior.

(Sarcasam)

Let's go back to the days of Thomas Jefferson - and let everyone grow it. Can you imagine the stimulus for the economy? Recession over.

[Fire1]

45. This is hilarious!! LMAO!!

[Boomerang Diddle]

47. Very few drs will say pot is good for you

not that that has ever stopped me

[TNOE]

56. Yea, but they will fill you full of pills

that they have no idea if they will help you or kill you. It all comes out in the wash for them.

[leftstreet]

61. Exactly!

[Scriptor Ignotus]

70. i think most if not all object to the smoking of the drug

not its consumption. i mean, breathing in fire can't possibly be healthy for you.

[L0oniX]

51. My name is Talking Tina and I hate you

[d_b]

57. lol

he even looks the part

[FloridaJudy]

58. I urge Obama to reconsider.

There are better candidates for Surgeon General. And at least one is far more conversant with the effects of drugs.

[whistler162]

68. Obviously from this post you are demostrating

the dangers of marijuana!

[Generator]

72. I'm sure Obama is anti-pot as well

Squares of a feather. Borrrrrrrrrrrring. However, we had the druggie ( or ex druggie) president-cocaine, "dry drunk" and that didn't go so well. Squares it is for now. Yes, Obama tried them-but then he had to decide to save the world. No drugs for him.

I wish all drugs were legal but ain't gonna happen in our lifetime.

[roody]

75. Momentito, Gupta. I gotta roll a joint.
