OP: Can you please put forward your ideas in a clearer manner?

My advice is to try to spell out your assumptions, particularly those that the rest of us don't seem to share, in as clear of a manner as possible and present some form of argument so that way we can understand your position better, and either come to accept it, or provide criticism where necessary.

If so, not a good idea. Smoking pot can result in paranoia.

very true, and more specifically, peer observation suggests to me that it can actually very specifically encourage the conspiracy worldview, especially in chronic use. mild paranoia while under the inflkuence is one thing, but i've observed in numerous cases it completely and profoundly changing a person's outlook on life. not that i'm personally against cannabis use in any way, but for anyone prone to this sort of thinking, it's probably not a good idea, and i'd personally suggest another substance for self-medication.

Anecdotally, I knew someone (though a chat service) who actually grew his own (legally) on the U.S. West Coast. However, he also smoked it himself. Not only did he begin thinking of everything as a conspiracy (a version of the Illuminati conspiracy). He imagined that other people were out to get him. He was arrested several times.

He was afraid that the government was following him, so he moved into his van and lived in the woods.

I don't know. But everyone who is "ready" to ascend as in their time has come to an end on earth when Nibiru passes, will retract the life stream energy that is inside each human, and their consciousness will reach a new dimension - a new reality.

I'm probably mental but it could be possible.

Why am I not surprised that this thread comes from the same person who blames that shooting on illuminati?

Where is Nibiru? I remember it was supposed to be here in 2003, then when it did not happen everyone jumped on the 2012 bandwagon for its arrival. When it doesn't show up, what will be the next apocalyptic year chosen, and what numerological justifications will be supplied for this?

WHAT.. is Nibiru? Please.

The homeworld of the Mesopotamian gods. It travels through the solar system in an orbit off the ecliptic and returns to Earth every 6000 years so the anthropomorphic space reptiles known as the Nephalem or Annunaki or wtvtf they are called can steal our gold and restore their atmosphere with it

I get the feeling that Nib believers came about coincidentally the same time as the V series did. They probably had access to LSD, too.

It seems to go back to guys like Zecharia Sitchen, Edgar Cayce and Erich von Daniken. Three looncalfs, basically. Erich von Daniken could be outclassed as an archaeologist by a six year old with Encyclopedia Britannica and a magnifying glass

Shame. Their works pre-date V: The Series.

Then again, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrull Skrulls do originate from 60's Marvel fiction. And there were other such fictional beasts such as swamp men before those.

aye. as much as i'm sceptical of the semi recent notion that cannabis can cause schizophrenia in adolescents, it can certainly affect perception in a skewed direction that might tip the balance in those who already have a propensity towards psychosis. i've witnessed it first hand.
