Legalizing Marijuana

[hoodonit00]

You guys that smoke. How much do you need to smoke to get a good buzz going?

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

I only smoke the very high end, so one hit does me good. If its late night and im in the mood for some xvideos.com I'll back it up..

When I used to smoke regularly - I had bit up a bit of a tolerance to it. I was going through 1/8 every 3 days or so....After quitting for several years, I would occassionaly have one hit or two (at the most) I was wasted and a lump on a log for hours on end....that's no fun for me...especially when it takes an hour to figure out how to change the tv channel...so I don't smoke it anymore. I'm not saying I won't smoke it again...cause I probably will. But probably no more than once a year, if that.

I buy an ounce a week. I conserve for the first couple of days then burn through it towards the end of the week with girlfriend and friends.

The worst date i ever had was with a pothead chick, the stupid lazy skunt was driving 30k in a 60k zone the whole night pretty much after smoking up two or three times.

All she really did the whole night was smoke up and lay there like Bernie from Weekend at Bernies except, she mumbled a bit here and there and tried to snuggle into me,i just kind of blankly stared off into the darkness of the forest ahead of me and kept hoping that night would end quick.

Probally the most boringest date i had ever been on, i didn't even feel like taking advantage of the situation, she was just so fricking dumb.

I believe alot of folks has a misconception of the buzz that Marijuana can give. You can not generalize it to the degree that some do. There are many different types of "buzzes" you can get from various types and strains of pot. Some weed can couchlock you while others in fact can make you think clearer and even makes some people more productive. I do not enjoy the paranoia that comes with some highs, therefore I choose a strain that is better suited to my likings. This can become problematic when buying, as being illegal, it limits the products to choose from. Thus forcing some smokers into smoking green that is not as well tailored to them. I have seen plenty of non smokers get way to high, only to be put off by the massive buzz they had to endure for the first time. A good pot buzz doesn't have to be like this. Know what you are smoking and the characteristics of it, and you might find one that is perfect for you. Then you can better understand why some people smoke. Then again I know plenty of folks that just like to get Blitzed.

1/8 every 3 days is waAaAy too much IMO.. Thats abuse, prolly made you all gummy all the time.. The beauty of the very high end is you don't need much of it.. So strong tolerance never comes into play..

A Z a week?.. You do love your weed sir.. LOL.. If I were to buy a Z of the weed I get that would a $400 .. What kind of weed you gettin?..

An 1/8 of my weed lasts 2-3 weeks.. Depending on how much I'm rocking out.. But I just one it it or do a bongload now and then..

Well first, happy 4/20 everyone!

Just wanted to throw this out. The state doesn't have to tax marijuana to make millions and millions of dollars. They just have to stop paying to enprison all the people who do it. Legalize it and save millions and millions of dollars right there. Could lower taxes if they did that. Well not in California. But you see my point.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

California needs to stick its hand in the pot, I have no problem for them profiting from it..

And the guy w/ the underwear on his head sounds like a load of fun to hang out with.. Brilliant. (NOT)

Happy 420.... I just quit smoking. My life is pretty busy and I was starting to experience anxiety the next day when working. It sucks because I really do enjoy it. A good friend of mine grows for smoke shops so I have unlimited access to fantastic, fresh stuff. Nice one hitter quitter quality... but the last three years, since I started smoking regularly again, I also gained 30 pounds. I stopped smoking a month ago and started running again... lost 8 lbs so far. 22 more to go....

Don't get me wrong, I plan to have a nice smoke while camping or backpacking here and there, but no more buying for me.

I would like to know what percentage of offenders are incarcerated there solely on charge of possession.

What? Where are you getting that? Consumption went down when alcohol was made legal again? I doubt that!

One important way to evaluate the public health consequences of alcohol policies, then, is in terms of how they affect consumption. In 1932 Warburton pointed out that "except for the first three years, the per capita consumption of alcohol has been greater under prohibition than during the war period [1917-1919], with high taxation and restricted production and sale" (260). Both prohibition and post-prohibition alcohol regulation kept overall consumption down compared with the decades prior to prohibition Indeed, post-prohibition regulatory policies kept alcohol use sufficiently low that it was not until the end of the 1960s, 35 years after repeal, that per capita alcohol consumption rose to the levels of 1915 (Levine and Reinarman, 1993, 1998). Whatever public health benefits prohibition achieved in terms of reducing consumption, alcohol regulation in the 1930s and early 1940s accomplished them as well. Further, this occurred despite the fact that the post-prohibition regulatory system had little or no public health focus, and despite the fact that the liquor industry (like most other U.S. industries) gained increasing influence over the agencies that were supposed to regulate it. In short, alcohol control worked almost as well as prohibition in limiting alcohol consumption, and more effectively than pre-prohibition policies.

I would like to know what percentage of offenders are incarcerated there solely on charge of possession.

this is from 2007 but the percentage climbs every year so it's more now.

For the fourth year in a row, US marijuana arrests set an all-time record, according to 2006 FBI Uniform Crime Reports. Marijuana arrests in 2006 totaled 829,627, an increase from 786,545 in 2005. At current rates, a marijuana smoker is arrested every thirty-eight seconds, with marijuana arrests comprising nearly 44 percent of all drug arrests in the United States. According to Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), over 8 million Americans have been arrested on marijuana charges during the past decade, while arrests for cocaine and heroine have declined sharply.

sheesh, these are some crazy ammounts. i'm with Bodie on this one, an 1/8th lasts about 2 to 3 weeks for me. the days of wake and bake and being stoned all the time have been over for quite a while. it's just nice to have after work to wind down, helps me sleep, and helps with my back pain, and knee pains from my surgery.

An 1/8th can last me a couple of months... if no friends would come over it would be closer to a month though.

I like to always have enough pot for when friends come over for a session. Usually 3 nights a week my gf and I entertain friends and we finish the night smoking. I always light up before an xbox session too. I usually get an ounce of buba kush for $320. It's quite strong. 2 joints and I'm flying for hours. My dealer has other strains but they are more expensive. He sells an ounce of purple haze for $400 and an once of quebec gold he sells for $480. But I like the taste of buba kush a lot.

I have a hard time gaming after I smoke, though the game has a lot to do with it... Fifa Soccer is about perfect....a RPG or FPS, not so much.

 

[Shatterer of Dreams]

love buba kush but skywalker is my favorite. i'll smoke before gaming as well.

 

[pixletwin]

Skywalker?
