    Leary said: “LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.”

    I think this applies just as much to something like the Devil’s lettuce.

      You think weed causes psychotic behavior? I’ve seen lots of reactions from weed… But psychotic is not a word I would use to describe any of them… Someone on a bad hallucinogenic trip that they can’t handle can definitely enter into a psycho episode though (unfortunately I have seen that).

      I can’t even imagine being a full-grown adult who doesn’t know what it feels like to have consciousness altered by drugs.

      It’s like meeting someone who was born in a car, and they’ve just never ever gotten out of that car.

      Like there’s a door in your wall marked “to alien universe” and you just walked by it for 40 years and never wanted to peek inside? What?

    Whats great is that elementary school kids can share a joint among like two or three of them so it is really cost effective

      Just think of how marijuana legalization would help the taco truck industry!

        Guns aren’t too concerning by themselves, but I think we all know a few teachers from our school years that should never, ever own one.

          Yup we had one go nuts and dump out all our cubbies in 6th grade, because too many of us forgot to bring out work and she was convinced we hadn’t done it and left it in our bags.

          She retired at the end of that year.

          I had another in HS that threw a hammer at a kid (it was a vocational class), that annoyingly put me off a career in the trades. I wish now that I’d stuck with it. I much prefer working with my hands over temporarily organizing pixels.

            It’s never to late to start. We just had a guy who was 45, and worked in an office his entire career, join our apprenticeship. Being a union electrician is a great gig. Our pay is great and the benefits are awesome.

    I remember the FUD that was spread when Colorado and Washington State legalized. None of it happened. A local TV News crew created an exercise where they would make different levels of cannabis user drive a course while traffic cops would evaluate their abilities to operate a motor vehicle.

    Every driver considered themselves to stoned to drive safely even though the cops said they didn’t drive like it. The Stoner girl said she was way to high to drive and wouldn’t even try in real life but she passed the tests.

    And the smell thing… Pioneer Square in Seattle has a smell to it, if it hasn’t rained in a while. Lots of pissing in the alley type behavior. I worked for a hospital that ran a clinic there. Usually the area stinks.

    A long comes accessable cannabis for all. IDK if you don’t like the smell of pot smoking.

    It’s by far better than the smell of piss.

      We also have a drinking culture where doing it alone at home is considered taboo. You’re supposed to go out to a bar and do it, and then get home somehow.

      Cannabis use doesn’t have that culture, not even in legalized states.

        Idk about that. There weren’t cannibas bars because cannibas wasn’t legal. But the idea of going over to a friend’s house or on a date where you both smoke weed together is hardly new.

    They’ll do something once someone builds an AR15 that shoots marijuana joints into people’s mouth. Imagine 20 joint extended magazines.

    I mean not too big of a fan of Marijuana since it increases my risk of schizophrenia which im predisposed too but its hard not to find this extremely stupid when cigarettes are still legal their and they are 100x worse along with vapes and alcohol. I mean if you are gonna have some laws be consistent instead of favoring one cause you like it more and poisoning the air

      And participated in a human trafficking scheme that backfired spectacularly when the people he trafficked were greeted with compassion instead of contempt.

    well you can’t stop people from bringing joints by making it illegal; that way only the bad guys would bring joints. instead everyone should bring joints to school because the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a joint is a good guy with a joint.
