Isn't it bad enough that people smoke this crap!

[Shino]

Now they have to make candy that tastes like pot.

Give me a freakin' break!

70 million pot smokers.
No wonder this country is so fucked up!

One of my best friend's Mother's smoked that shit.
while he was living there
Then she had another child
and still smoked that shit while she was a baby.

Now he is fighting to get guardianship of her and get her out of the mother's hands. I hope he does!

I really don’t want to do this but you’re not giving me much choice lol.
Oh my god you guys are so clueless to what cannabis is its funny.
If cannabis is illegal that drinking definitely should be too. But do you know why cannabis is illegal? Because it goes against the 'status quo"
Did you know Cannabis has been put into the "Schedule 1" category of drugs. This means, according to our fine government, it’s extremely dangerous and has absolutely no medicinal value what so ever. Now any half sane person knows this is total bullshit. Cannabis is one of the most medically significant substances that occur naturally on our planet. Like we all know it does wonders for glaucoma, but it also helps sleep apnea, Insomnia, Chronic pain, depression, migraines, oh and a side bonus is it also increases your metabolism with regular use making your skinny as hell loll.
It has been used as an herb all throughout human history, and it is theorized that it was one of the, if not the first plant ever agriculturally cultivated by man. People forget that we were hunter gatheres, and they had no quams about using plants that had other purposes besides nutrition. Drugs like cannibus and pyslisiben ect. are in our very long history wether you like it or not.
Partly for its medicinal values, but that’s not even the half of it. Hemp fibers can be used for a number of things, making stronger ropes, clothing, high quality fabric for things like sails, and a food source can even be derived from hemp.
Hemp production in America could save the American farmer, but do we care? No. Because "marijuana is such a terrible drug, I mean I don’t know from personal experience, but that’s what the propaganda says so it must be bad!" Give me a god damn break.

If you have ever had a drink of alcohol in your life shut the hell up about the horrors of cannabis. Alcohol is a drug, exactly like THC is, only it’s a much more negative and harmful one.

And stop lumping the 70 million people who smoke into one group, that’s really pissing me off, I love cannabis, love the taste when I smoke it, but a sucker is just god damn retarded.
I love how the government makes criminals out of 70 million mostly otherwise law abiding citizens, just because they choose another way to relax. Yeah land of the free my ass

Jeez now look what you gone and made me do

[Shino]

yeah pot is used for medical reasons, but perscription and not nearly in the doses that people who just smoke it b/c it's "fun" take it in.

Alcohol can be dangerous if abused. But the fact is that one or two drinks isn't bad. As a matter of fact, they say a glass of red wine every once in a while is good for you.

It takes the average person at least 2 drinks to have any affect at all. Hell, Shan had 4 and she only weighs like 100lbs. She hardly had any affect that was noticable. Then it takes even more to have the negitive affects in most cases.

However as soon as you smoke you feel an affect. And you know what, I have seen way to may stupid ass high people to take anything you say about it not "affecting judgement" seriously.

And you know what... I don't give a shit whether it should or shouldn't be illegal. The fact is that it is illegal. And whatever you think about the government and their policy on it is irrelivant to this topic.

I've seen it too many times... illegal = expensive. People waste their money on this shit when they should be using it for other more important items of life.
College student pot head, smokes pot, fails out, keeps smoking, leads to horrible life.

Yeah... I have seen that happen... to several people that I used to know actually. So say what you want Reap about how you think pot is ok. You will NEVER change my mind. I have seen it screw up too many people and watched it ruin a family. And if you think that it doesn't kill brain cells, you are again being misled. But you go ahead and keep doing it.

Me, I'll stick to other forms of getting a "high." Like hitting a softball 300 feet over a fence and trotting the bases. Yeah... that's my way of getting high.

I have not smoked marijuana. I have been around people who have smoked. From what I observed, there were some side effects to the drug, but they were generally coherent and lucid. If a little giggly.

There are studies, contrived or otherwise, that support both the conclusion that pot is dangerous and that it is not.

That said, the idea of pot-flavored candy is certainly interesting. Give you the taste without the buzz that goes with it. Might be good for people who think they're addicted to pot and want to break free of it.

[Ming]

reaps, you're a good guy, and I mean no offense, but look what you're going to make me go do...

[Blues]

No offense, Shino, but... who cares? This is marijuana we're talking about, not black-tar heroin or meth. You're not going to die or go comatose from smoking a joint.

Seriously, why the fuss? Do you smoke pot? No? Then fine, don't. Noone is making you. If someone chooses to, that's their business and noone else's. I really do not see what the big deal is about some backwoods company noone's ever heard making novelty pot candy.

Man I wish I had my computer online.
I would join in this discussion to say the least, having "been there and done that".
