    So many stereo types of pot smokers on this thread by people who have never smoked pot is kinda funny to hear.
    I have several friends that smoke daily & have office jobs that make over $100k a year. I know sales guys that smoke & make over $80k a year. Most have been at the same job for over 10 years. I think if your responsible theres no difference between weed & alcohol. If one can get up in the morning, get the kids off to school, make it to work & do their job correctly I dont see what difference it makes what I do once I'm on my own free time.

    I know guys that smoke & could be high as hell & by looking & talking to them you wouldn't even know they were high.

    Oh yeah, had a friend that became a millonare, and a laywer. Bought a historic 4 story building in downtown Ft. Worth.

    Smoked it like a smoke stack. What's the solution? A test similar to a LTC, driver's test, or what, to determine if they are "functional pot users" or dopeheads?

    Or should we do the opposite of "kill em all and let God sort it out" and turn the dopeheads loose on Society, and let the chips fall where they may.

    FWIW, It's my experience that functional marijuana users don't have a problem with the laws as they are.

    I smoked pot for 11 years, I'm not just some teetotaler that says "drugs are bad mmkay?" That being said, it's absolutely negative for your mental health and no one but an absolute moron would think that inhaling a hot smoke into your lungs has ANY benefits. Also I can almost point out anyone who's had even more than a few puffs no matter how high their tolerance is, #1 it fucking smells like crazy... #2 there are some telltale signs of someone being high on THC... If people want to smoke it, fine with me, but lets not act like it's any better than having a lot of drinks. It's not.

    If you want to take CBD pills for cancer or whatever pain management, fine, but let's not pretend someone down the street smoking gravity bong hits is doing it for some sort of benefit.

    Not just some feel good study. A longitudinal study that will be seminal. Monitored over 45000 individuals for decades. News flash on the results. Weed is not good for your mental health.

    And if you think oh well it's the guv'ment so it must be a conspiracy, they're just quoting a study that was done in Sweden.

    And just so we're clear, I believe quitting smoking weed was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Probably #1 with qutting cigarettes a close #2

    Recreational smoking can probably be on par with social drinking as far as how it effects your life. I don't believe pot affects your perception as much as alcohol can, but it does slow your motor skills and attention span. Usually you can tell the difference between a drunk driver and a stoned driver. A drunk will often drive the same speed, but has a hard time staying in his lane. Someone stoned on pot will often drive slower and sometimes very slow.

    The only time I tried weed was in Viet Nam, 1970. It made me sleepy.
    You could get it in any brand you wanted. Looked like a factory pack tgof Marlboros or whatever. Sealed like the original, filter tipped and had the logo on the side. Just like the real cigs.

    Went over to the airport to pick up a new LT. My buddy Jim and I. Coming back the three of us in the front seat of a deuce and a half, Jim lights up one of those "marlboros", I thought oh shit.

    The LT asked for one because he ran out of smokes somewhere after Japan. Jim gives him one. The Lt lights up, inhales and says, Man that tastes good.

    Never saw the LT again but always wondered how his reporting for duty with the Colonel went.

    Makes things funny, makes music better, and makes food WAAAY better.

    Use in moderation (or uh, not at all if it's here in Texas, right?)
