The Pot Party

Luvya Heather! With your new position I wasn't sure that you would respond. Maybe Al Gore(he's all about green!)

I love that we brought this thread back!
Ahem... as I said before:
I am Canadian. In Canada, it seems like no one really cares about weed as a DRUG. Everyone smokes it, everyone is cool about it. I've seen people walking down the street smoking a joint without a care in the world. Even my Dad rolls up a couple before he goes out golfing.
It is less dangerous than alcohol. That is a fact. You never hear of people smoking so much weed they get hospitalized or beat up their girlfriend or whatever. The most someone does when they smoke too much is eat all the chips and chocolate and watch all the episodes of "Cosmos."
The government should use their drug fighting money for better causes.

Very true. It is such a waste of money to continue the war on drugs, especially against marijuana!

Greed is also a big factor. For example, if companies want to patent synthetic forms of "marijuana" to sell to patients, they can't have the real thing take away the money they can make.

But, Cher . . . doctors and lawyers do it and continue to be productive. If someone is prone to laziness before weed, it won't change.

Call me MS. Mediocre, please!

We shall have to disagree. If I had not smoked it daily, I am sure I would have left my ex so many years earlier.

None of my friends who were regular smokers got anything like as far in their careers as the non smokers.

I also believe I would have got to the top much earlier too.

I am not complaining, had I gone another path, I would not have met my partner when I did.

I am not against the stuff, I just don't approve of it being freely available, for the very reasons we disagree over.

I will agree with that one side of it... when it comes to relationships I think it can hinder your ability to see how unhappy you actually are with the person. It can improve your mood a bit too much =p

My bf stayed with his ex for 3 years, and he thinks the mj made it easier for him to stick it out even though he had thoughts of leaving just one year into the relationship. If he hadn't been on it? Well, he probably would have gotten fed up and left when the thoughts entered his mind originally lol but relationships can be difficult to leave regardless!

I think we should focus in the US at making medicinal mj legal. As far as recreational, I doubt it will do us good to make that happen

Heather, you know that Kacey is an unofficial member of the Pot Party. "Follow Your Arrow".

As always, all for medical legalization. Not for recreational use.

True, it can be a very positive and promising thing.

Actually, even a hard drug like LSD, cocaine, and ecstasy can have medical benefits (to name a few)! We still need a lot more research to conduct on so many drugs to find out the different possible uses. However, based on what I have read so far, the harder drugs tend to have limited positive qualities, whereas marijuana can help with a larger range of things.

A personified marijuana leaf with a party hat on? That is what just popped into my head

Well, I'm going sideways!

I like your logo idea. Now, maybe I should come up with something.
