I'm 60 and I have tried alcohol and cigarettes but thats it. I dont drink and I dont smoke tobacco. My best friend is an alcoholic that smoked a ton of cigs in his life. He vapes now but still smokes on vacation. Never tried Heroin. I would only consider heroin on my deathbed. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I smoked it all the time in my early 20's. It makes you feel stupid, don't bother. If your an adult and still need to feel stupid, you have more problems than weed will kill. You can literally feel your IQ level go down by 40 points. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Amen, that's the truth. The tell is that Congress helped out the banks before removing it from Schedule 1. This makes a mockery of the rule of law. The drug warriors are right about one thing: marijuana makes sane people do loopy things. |

AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18213 | America’s Invisible Pot Addicts. An interesting take on legalization. In my job of all things I need to attach a rider stating if a person loses their home to seizure to the feds for cultivation we will not cover the loss. In training we had an hour or so discussion on it. That one was fine with me as 90% of training was stuff I mostly knew and I even knew a tidbit a guy with 19 years did not know. That either raised my status or made me look like a nerd, and I don't care much which. Anyhow, article makes some good point that the "danger" of pot is not medical so much as it slows you down and takes over your life if you do not watch. The "escape" is all you spend your day caring about. Eventually you are so far behind in the race you think you are in the lead. Meanwhile your life falls to pieces as you neglect important things. Will this be all people? No. Will it be a fairly large part of the pot users? I kind of believe so. Best bet is to sell into and leverage off of it as you cannot help this kind.

Every regular pot user I've known always says their lives are fantastic. Buddy Hackett smoked it every day in his early career and thought he was going gangbusters in show biz. His agent finally convinced him he was going nowhere fast and he quit the dope. I know when I used to smoke I thought the stupidest things were great a lot of the time. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

From what I have seen it really is a "build up" thing. Some people occasionally use to little ill effect. But regular users end up caring just about getting high and maybe mediocre rock bands. The rest of life passes them by. The President is a fink. |

I watch hiking videos. One of my faves is guy in his early 40's who smokes pot several times a day. He does interesting videos, and is supported by Patreon donors. He smart and witty and colorful. And a loser. He owns nothing, not a car, not property, nothing. He hikes for a living the last 3 years and stays high all the time. One day he will get injured, and his hiking days will be behind him and the money will disappear. And he'll have nothing. The pot keeps him from fully realizing the position he's in. He can't see the future beyond his next break to smoke pot. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
