Forums - General - Movie extreme's that bother me. How high people seem to get off marijuana in movies.

For instance, "Hall pass" when there golfing. This type of thing is just over done. You would think they took mushrooms instead.  I understand the comedy aspect of it but it just pushes it to a new level. I can only imagine the people out there that don't do it or are not very informed about it. They must think people are a mess on it all the time, When really its not the case. You might destroy a bag of cheetos but thats about it.

I can't smoke but used to, I would like to but I can't and with people roaming around thinking the worst, then I will never be off the leash at work. I do drink but I'm not a big fan. so in reality, on the weekends to chill out, I would like to. I mean if you want to go for affect, why not have them take the drugs that do make you act like an idiot and even then you might be over doin it. I don't know why this bothers me, it just does. Most likely because I think drinking is way worse.

What do you think? Do they over do it? Should they just have them do things that would have them act like that?

 Also what movie extreme's do you not like?

I don't think most people expect those high on weed to be acting crazy. There are other stigmas that go along with the drug.

And they are???



Because it just isn't funny if weed doesn't grant near super-human powers.

I have seen more than one person freak out in real life on the other hand. He had to run downstairs and lie flat on the ground because "there wasn't enough oxygen" up higher.



I hate it when people trip the fuck out in movies after smoking weed

Coming from a family where all my siblings were Marijuana fiends. Which I am not, and have never used it myself. I can tell you that weed isn't just weed. It comes in many varieties with differing effects. I have genuinely seen pot do just about everything imaginable. Yes I have seen people hallucinating on pot, and yes I have seen people do almost super human feats on the drug. So if there is a effect to be had. I can assure you there is a pot for that. If you have not found it yourself. You are going to the wrong kind of dealer.

There is another problem that should be mentioned, and that is Marijuana has differing effects on a individual basis. For every guy who just giggles, and gets the munchies. You have another guy who becomes hyperactive, and spastic. You have the paranoid guy who is stuck on permanent flight mode, or the guy who can genuinely be convinced of anything while high. I like this sort, because my older brothers were like that when they used their favorite creeper weed.

Wait till the room starts to slowly giggle. Wait fifteen minutes, and ask them all to pay for the Pizza they ordered. Since they cannot remember one minute ago let alone ten. A couple minutes later the door opens up, and a wad of cash descends into your open hand. I cannot tell you how many free Pizzas my younger brother, and I got by pulling this little stunt. The best part is you don't need to share. You go order a pizza eat it yourself, and if they do ask about that Pizza. All you need to do is tell them that it had some ungodly sick combination of toppings, or in fact that they had already eaten the Pizza.

My older brothers were the best. They were up for doing anything while stoned. They would raid our toy boxes for cheap fast food toys, and wing them at each other full force. I mean they would lacerate the ever loving shit out of themselves. Hell my favorite memory was when a couple of my friends got a blue strobe light, and one of those megaphones. So we turned both on full blast right outside of my brothers window. Talk about super human I saw it that night. Eight guys crammed into a little room cleared out of a house in less then a minute.

I saw two guys open windows, and jump out. In the middle of January with almost no clothes on. Better yet the first one caught the lip of the window slammed into the side of the house, and fell face first into the ground. The second just did a Superman. I mean he tried to fly out of the house, and belly flopped a ten foot fall. Not only that, but he got up running. What I found out the next day is he ran all two miles home. Without a shirt, pants, or shoes. He came back for those.

So what I am saying is don't tell me what pot can or cannot do, because it seems it can really do about anything. The one thing I will say is it seems to be a lot less problematic then Alcohol. You don't seem to find a lot of real vicious potheads, or unreasonable ones for that matter.

And they are???

That you eat all the food in your fridge and refuse to go in public...;p

That's probably the worst I had gotten years and years ago.

While you are partially correct, I can't say I've ever refused to go in public whilst having smoked/smoking.

Then again it's been a while since I smoked something... yesterday.



I hate it when the Asian always dies first.

Does that count?

1. I was paranoid somebody would call me out in the outside world.

2. I had to walk by the kitchen. Then I'd turn and see food. Stop to get food. And forget I was planning on walking outside.

I already have a really bad memory already so throw in a something that can sidetrack me in the slightest is never a good idea. lol.

LOL! And that's what makes you adorbs.

I blame it on 2 things for me.

1. I was paranoid somebody would call me out in the outside world.

2. I had to walk by the kitchen. Then I'd turn and see food. Stop to get food. And forget I was planning on walking outside.

I already have a really bad memory already so throw in a something that can sidetrack me in the slightest is never a good idea. lol.


The way I read that: "I like gaming, and I have a fridge full of food, so I am the perfect smoking partner".

Heh, my memory isn't the greatest either usually. ^^
