thats what id expect cause thats what a lot of drug users say, but in reality its false. The millions of people who do do drugs affect A LOT more people then just themselves. You really need to realize this

I kinda agree. But its kind of half and half. 50% of people who smoke do it out of depression id say the other half is just wanting to fit in or just really enjoy it. (based on what ive seen btw). And the ones i knew out of depression no one cared about them anyways so i dont think they were affecting anyone but themselves.

I do think it affects idiots who smoke and drive which is pure stupidity. (but i dont think many do)

This is your "I am smarter than you" statement:

Based on my SAT (1410) scores..

This is your "I am smarter than you" statement on drugs:

That fall i got a 1420 on my SAT.

For a guy who likes to say how being close minded is wrong, you sure seem to whip out your standardized test score a lot. Down boy.

I guess I could go on about how much of an ass you are, TekDragon, but I tried that in another thread and it didn't work.. So I'll just go with the "don't feed the trolls" idea.

/flame on

I have strong feelings on the subject, and im having fun proving him wrong. I say we continue and keep it civil

You ignorant, small minded child. Who have you proved wrong? You have quoted NO scientific research, NO medical journals, NOTHING. All you have is your ignorant opinion and your lamer fanboys who have nothing to add to the topic but like to smooch your ass cause you have "PSU Staff" under your name and it gives them some reflected glory to defend your sorry ass.

All you have said is "Marijuana is stupid. Your stupid. I dont smoke. Im cool" If you think that proves ANYTHING... your right. It proves you have the mentality of a KKK member. Prejudiced, close minded, uneducated, and willing to form an opinion without any education.

You have completely ignored my posts. You dont even acknowledge any of it. I said in a half sentence of a small joke that marijuana is a medical classification level 4 drug. You took that and ran with it. Ran with it in a completely fuked up direction. Spouting off BS like "Oh, i agree its good for medical but leisure use is wrong"

First, I never said anyhting about medical use. Thats your BS way of moving the spot light away from the fact that your a close minded bigot .
Two, what right do you have to tell people what they can do in their leisure time? If I want to go on my back porch with my GF or buddies and pass a blunt, who the FUCK are you to tell me im "wrong". Who the fuk made you God Squeeky? You fucking bigot. People like you make me sick. You have NO education on a subject and yet you form an opinion and swing it around like a bat. You ignorant child.

You keep taking the high moral road Squeeky. The fact is you came on this thread to flame me for something you know nothing about. You flamed me, called me stupid, insinuated anyone that smokes marijuana in their leisure time is stupid, and then tried taking the moral high ground.

You are nothing but an ignorant, prejudiced, bigot. I hope to god your not like that in the real world. Shoving your prejudices and ignorant opinions in other people's faces is a SURE way to get a black eye in real life.

Im through with you, child.

For a guy who likes to say how being close minded is wrong, you sure seem to whip out your standardized test score a lot. Down boy.

You are a hypocrite. Period. Squeeky started off this entire flame fest by insulting my intellegence. Then when I defend my intellegence, you flame me for defending it. Again, you are a hypocrite.

I guess I could go on about how much of an ass you are, TekDragon, but I tried that in another thread and it didn't work

Maybe thats because you never have an opinion worth stating? You dont stay on the topic, you have nothing to contribute to a topic. All you have is your ability to form a one-sided opinion on someone and then form a flame that adresses none of the main topic, but you still think it makes you look cool. Congratulations, youve proven yourself equal to most elementary school children. Heres a cookie.

Squeeky may be a ignorant bigot, but at least he knows how to keep on the topic.

[Prowler]

Oh god.......

[TekDragon]

yes,1/3 car accidents the driver had weed in him

Where did you get this from? I have NEVER heard ANYTHING at ALL that even remotely backs this up.

Im 99.9999% certain you just made that up. In fact, id be willing to lay down a few grand that you just made that up (or some other ignoramus made it up and your quoting him).

I imagine 5-10% of total car accidents have possesion involved. Probably less.

Lemme give you a fact i DO know. You can look it up and verify (or let me look it up later if you doubt me). Independent researchers made a 200 some point test on driving. Each point covered something small.. like "staying 3 car lengths minimum behind car in front".

People who were completely clean did on average 78% of everything right.

People who were drunk did on average around 35% of everything right.

People who were high (i think the test was 1.5 grams of medical grade if i remember correctly) 76.5% of everything right.

The numbers may have been slightly higher or lower but the margin of difference between being high, and being completely clean was ONLY 1.5% difference.

This reseatch was done by a recognized scientific department and the results have been noted by medical journals and governments world-wide.

Oh.. im sorry.. does that shit all over your DARE propaganda BS? Im sorry.

How about next you post something about the "gate-way syndrome". Ill have a good ol' time showing research on that lovely topic.

[firecrackerNC]

lol dude ok I read it somewhere,during health class,quit acting like an ass,and seriously i think your making up your shit,if i was high i for one would not be driving a car more then 5 minutes without crashing so stfu,your info is bogus so just shut up already

[Powerflux]

This thread now sucks.

[Hamma]

This thread sucks.

But anyway, this is the lounge. Talk about whatever the hell you want as long as it doesent involve warez and posting porn.

[TekDragon]

lol dude ok I read it somewhere,during health class

Tell me, who sets the carriculum for health classes? Could it possibly be the same people who fund the DARE program? *GASP*

Let me explain something to you. There is a small part of the government that is in charge of the drug war. They realized years ago that it was a loosing battle. Why? Because a great many people can think for themselves. They dont bend over and take anything the government says up the ass the way some people do (Squeeky).

Heres some things you should think about:

--Every peice of research quoted in your health class and in the DARE program was from research installations that were funded and monitored by the government.
--Those researchers who found results that did NOT support the program's view on marijuana had their funding axed and their staff fired.
--The research that was given to the government as fuel for the propaganda known as DARE was so skewed and off base it was rediculed in medical journals for years. The methodology and tests they used were ludicrous and self-serving.
--Independent research done by internationall recognized research installations has show the followinig:
1. "gate-way" syndrome from using marijuana is non-existant. Reasons for using harder drugs had nothing to do with marijuana and reflected completely on the person.
2. NO long term mental side effects were proven
3. The ONLY long term side effect proven was the unhealthiness of smoking and its leading towards lung cancer. Heavy marijuana use, however, was proven to be much less harmful to your lungs than heavy cigarette use (half a pack a day or more).
4. No conclusive evidence of impairment of decision making processes. If you arent likely to have sex without a condom under normal conditions, your not likely to have sex without a condom while high.
5. Short term negative effects were as followed: minor discomfort in throat area from inhalation of smoke; short term (6-12 hours) of slight impairement of transition from short term to long term memory.

Read those over. Think about it. Then go on the internet and read about what lawmakers around the world have been deciding on marijuana use. 95% of the trends have moved toward relaxed laws on possesion and usage.

England and USA are two of the most hard lines against marijuana use. However, England has recently passed legislature allowing possesion and California has had lawmakers busy for the past several years.

Once California does it, everyone else follows suit. In a dozen years, most likely half that... possesion WILL be legal. You can quote me on that.

Id like to see what prejudice bigots like Squeeky have to say when "daddy government" tells them its morally ok. It must be easy to live life like you Squeeky: Not thinking, not learning, just forming opinions based on ignorance and swinging your prejudices around like a bat.

This thread now sucks.

Im sorry PowerFlux, your right. It was irresponcible to use words containing more than 2 syllabels without putting a warning sign up for you. Im sorry if i caused you any un-due stress.
Seriously though, if you dont like the topic.. and you dont have anything intellegent to post on the topic (either pro or con), then why post? You trying to prove how cool you are?
