How old was this security guy who kicked your group out? I bet he was a kid. Virgin tier at that.
Yes, he looked like he was 18 or 19. We didn't take him seriously at first until he called over these two big bald butch brutal baddies who looked like they could win in a fight against a Grizzly Bear bare handed.

I can't believe you got kicked out for doing something illegal. That's ridiculous. Next thing you know you won't be able to do anything illegal without being punished.
See that's what I'm talking about. People hear about Marijuana and assume you're some type of criminal who deserve to be punished. The brainwashing system that is our anti-drug program works wonders, doesn't it?
My friends and I aren't pretentious stoners; blowing smoke in others faces and thinking we're cool because we're getting high. No, we're adults. We were minding our own business, enjoying ourselves, drinking beers that we purchased at the venue. And while everyone around us were smoking cigarettes, we're targeted as the bad guys. It's a joke.

there may be link between pot and ball cancer. So yeah, I prefer having nuts, and lungs, so i don't smoke anything.
Ahhh yes, I remember hearing about that a couple years ago, which is when the article you shared was published. Since then there hasn't been any talk about the possible connection. Which leads me to believe the theory was wrong and there is no link, or researchers are still trying to find proof that a medicinal drug for cancer causes cancer.
I'm not saying you're wrong, it is possible. But that information came out, scared a couple people, then we never heard anything about it to see if it was proven.

And while THC leads to paranoia and in very rare cases schizophrenia, the chances of developing schizophrenia is far less than an alcoholics chance of getting liver disease, brain damage, cancer, lung infections, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers and a nasty hangover.
This.

My questions: what the heck is up with this interest in pot you peeps seem to have in the Americas
I know, we talk about this a lot over here. It's mostly due to the fact that it takes FOREVER to see any form of change happen in our government. And to top it off, both sides of the argument have people who are stubborn and biased. It's like having Michael Moore on your side, he's passionate and will fight for you, but you know some of the things he's saying is total BS.
There are idiots who just want it to be legal so they can go around blowing smoke in a cops face and acting like a total douche. And there are those who think it should stay illegal because they've been brainwashed into believing anyone who smokes weed will become a coke-snorting schizophrenic rapist who robs banks so he can buy his next fix.
Sure, it works in Amsterdam. But anti-marijuana groups love to use the old "you guys have a high rate of suicides" as an excuse for not legalizing it here. Kinda sad, isn't it?

more than 400,000 Americans are arrested each year on marijuana charges, meanwhile more than 400,000 Americans die each year from diseases related to cigarette smoking. Over 150,000 Americans die each year of Alcohol abuse. But in over 150,000 years of usage nobody has ever died from smoking marijuana.
Well said.

Weed affects everyone differently. Sometimes they freak out." .. so does a drinker. if anything, someone super stoned is guilty of not shutting the f*** up about how big the universe is, and asking if there's anymore chips in the house. meanwhile the drunk is pissed because you said hi to his girlfriend. Both have the possibility to go into a sob story apology about an arguement you both had months ago.
So true! Weed DOES affect people differently. It is not for everyone, it can increase paranoia and cause people to freak out. However I've been around plenty of people who should not drink because alcohol affects people differently as well. I have a lady friend who has quit drinking for over two years because when she drinks she becomes violent. She pushed people away with her drinking. Now she smokes weed and she's calm, funnier and enjoyable to hang around.

I think one of the big hurdles that has to be overcome is the mothers. Even among girls I went to high school with, who I've seen smoke pot and drink, you hear the cry, "Won't somebody please think of the children!" Uh-oh, don't want little Jimmy Jr. to have access to drugs now do we?
To be fair, it's a mother's responsible to protect their children. If a mother isn't trying to keep her children of drugs then she's not doing her job as a parent. If Marijuana were to be legalized then there would still be an age restriction on it.
I don't agree with minors smoking weed but I can understand the desire to. It's that rebellious feeling all kids go through when they're teenagers, I was once like that myself. But I still knew a lot of burnt out kids from high school who are now working in a grocery store or worse these days

Canada must really suck now adays.
Yes, it does. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to stream something online only to be told it's not available in my country. Seriously? I live like 3 fucking hours away from the USA for Christ's sake.
