Does it make your high IQ drop? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
OP asks what's keeping me from marijuana. The answer is simple... my IQ is too high. also, inhaling any kind of smoke cant be good for you. and finally, its what i call a sideways drug, it doesnt produce euphoria and any drug worth its salt does (alcohol included). many folks will take anything that changes there perspective of reality. pot does that and not much else. |

That's right. I don't drink. And the only med I take is Claritin, not prescribed by a doctor. I'm not saying you guys can't partake in your pot, sorry, medical cannabis. Or alcohol. Or whatever. I think all medications ought to be over the counter. Well, except antibiotics. Take the doctor out of it. But I don't have to hire those people. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Never used it and never will use it. It’s detestable and repugnant. There are some things gentlemen do not do, and drugs like that are one of them. That said, it should not be illegal (particularly federally) because the government were not granted the powers to regulate it.
And this comes from a millennial, no less (God, I hate being part of that group), so there can be no boomer reefer madness criticism levelled here. |

No desire to do drugs, especially illegal ones. Not necessarily saying I would never do it, but I won't seek it out. I guess I'll find out if I ever just happen across it in a legal setting. Pretty sure I won't smoke (why the fuck would anyone intentionally inhale the products of combustion?) but maybe I would eat a brownie or something.

I don't like the smell, it makes me nauseous.
Not much a fan of pot heads either because it's all they fucking talk about. Plus I think I'm stupid enough as it is without that crap. I can go down the street and legally purchase the stuff but have no need to do so. BTW, the resaurant/pub that is very close to work is closing up Tuesday to become a retail pot shop. I have been there 3 times in about 9 years so it really doesn't matter to me , but some coworkers that meet for a couple of beers after work are pissed about it. I guess the owner of the pub just made a business decision because he is laying off some 15 people so he can run a pot store with 3. The approval rating of the legalization of pot here has dropped from 68% to 49% (that was on the news today) and I really don't give a shit about it. It's a fight between the dealers and the .gov for weed business and it is looking like the dealers are winning. Legalization may not last very long here as the tax money projected to be made by Trudeaux and his minions is not coming in by the truckload like they thought it would be. LOL |
