Getting a bit sick of the Pro-Marijuana culture...

And just to make sure I'm not misunderstood, I'm saying everyone's stupid, including myself.

I've got no dogs in that fight.

You're more likely to die from tobacco smoke or alcohol poisoning than you are from marijuana. That's one of my personal justifications for it.

Pro-weed is becomming the new politically correct orthodoxy, I hate political correctness.

Cannabis is an amazing plant.

That said, I cringe when presented with Stoner 'Comedy' (think Cheech & Chong, J & Silent Bob) and anyone who walks around with their clothes emblazoned with leaf designs. Same applies for beer drinkers who have no identity other than the one they've assumed while wearing a Guinness t-shirt. Crass.

Not all pro-inebriant folk are braying idiots, just most of them.

I see nothing wrong with those specific stoner comedies....I have seen some stupid ones that I'd never want to watch again though, and I don't care if someone wears a shirt with a pot leaf on it...I mean yeah if they constantly wear only clothes covered in pot leaf designs and only wear jewerly that is in the shape of pot leaves or what not then yeah that could be annoying but I don't see anything wrong with people expressing that they like it. I wear T-shirts of bands I like but yes it can be annoying when people get carried away or act stupid about it and bring negative attention to it.

Yeah, but what about The Trailer Park Boys? They're funny : )

It's just the whole culture of YAY WEED!!11 that makes me want to curl up into a ball. I have no issue with the drug being available to adults (indeed my only real issues are when it's not available) but I'm worried - even as a non-parent - about the effects all this openness and acceptance will have on kids that are growing up in this day and age.

In certain parts of the UK it's not unusual for children to have alcohol problems, because of the sheer level of stupidity and cultural acceptance that booze has. Fair enough, not my kids, not my problem... but still.
I do hope this little experiment in Washington and Colorado has a positive influence on foreign (mainly UK) drug policy, without any ill-effects inflicted upon society, but the cynic in me feels like it has all been purposely set up to make an example of disaster. Time will tell.

Holland seems to have its s**t together. Lucky for them.

Also I am thinking perhaps it is a good opportunity to address cannabis as a society and perhaps teach kids more accurate information about it, and what some of the dangers could be and what not. But having it illegal or trying to hide it from them and hope they don't find out about it or get intrested in it just isn't very realistic. So far though I don't think there is any evidence of underage cannabis abuse rising significantly since the legalization. But I can see that as a concern.

I love weed but I hate weed culture.

Since I live in denver I went to the last 420 festival and they had like the worst rap group ever on stage...way to make a potentially fun thing sort of suck. I sort of want to somehow petition who ever is in charge of setting it up or hiring the band to get someone good next time who might play some psychedelic rock music, or even heavy metal just anything but crap.

I am sure that would make a lot of people happy, as I was not the only one who thought it was crap...I mean hello people want some kinda chill music with actual singing to chill and smoke not that crap so loud it could cause hearing damage. I was very disappointed.

in the novel "brave new world" the police would defuse riots by dispersing general quantities of "soma" gas in the air, causing the rabble to mellow out and lose the name of action, and I was wondering if they could do the same thing nowadays by pumping de-smoked pot fumes into the crowds.

smoking a nice spliff in the summer heatwave that just started....

Here someone out side telling kids to be careful of kicking the ball near the cars in the carpark..
Look out the window and see 2 coppers.
A few minutes later
Here my neighbours intercom system beeping.
Police are no longer outside but the car is.
Someone knocks on my door one time.
I don't bother to answer cos **** em... no warrant no entry, no opening the door so you can say "i can smell weed and try to walk in"

I'm not that stupid...


Must have been the cops because no one ever knocks on my door unless a neighbour was trying to give me a heads up, maybe the police would be more persistent than a single knock.

Going to rename my wi-fi to either an email address or "**** snitches"
