Yeah, i really don't understand what happened there.

Perhaps it will change in the second term with more flexibility on Obama's part? We can only hope.

I also bet I could outrun most non smokers. Most recent check up has shown me to have a strong, clean healthy set of lungs.

Yeah it sounded like a joke comment but then I checked earlier in the thread and saw that you are against drugs.

You said "I don't think a majority of people like drugs", but fact is that a majority of adult people in the Western world use drugs (alcohol and tobacco).

Bill Clinton wasn't soft on marijuana either.  It has been popular thing to keep the DEA going after marijuana users, clinics, growers and dealers.  Reefer Madness is a pretty damn good book that pretty much shows that it was on its way to becoming legal (or at least decriminalized) a long with being endorsed by American Medical Association and other various groups (quote from book - "The American Bar Association, the American Medical Association, and the National Council of Churches all supported the decriminalization of marijuana - as did President Jimmy Carter.  It seemed long prison sentences for marijuana offenders had been consigned to the nation's past") in the mid to late 70s.  Then Reagan happened.

You mean psychological dependence, right?

Because usually it's psychological versus physical (and the term physiological describes the physical functions of the human body).

I'm on my iPhone, it tends to auto correct. Should have read psychological.

Euphoria, you're the guy who used to show lots of pictures of your daughter all the time, right?

And at the same time you're talking so openly about your own use of drugs.

Nothing wrong with that. Quite the opposite. I wish more people were that way!

Haha, I love this argument.

Pot smokers wouldn't go to war for anything.

"I thought that dropping those cancer-causing tobacco cigarettes was bad enough, but now we find that a British intelligence chief once dropped opium-laced cigarettes on an enemy during WWI. The story is told by Tom Segev in One Palestine, Complete, Henry Holt and Company, 2001. The author discusses a campaign run by Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen:

    Meinertzhagen invented another method of hitting at the enemy. At sunset British planes would circle over concentrations of Turkish forces and drop opium cigarettes on them…On 6 November a high percentage of the Turkish Army at Sheria and Gaza were drowsy and befuddled. Some of the prisoners taken were barely coherent and quite incapable of resistance.

In Turn Around and Run like Hell, Murdoch Books, 2007, Joseph Cummins adds:

    Meinertzhagen heard that the Turks were desperate for tobacco so be bought thousands of packets of cigarettes on the black market and wrapped them in a leaflet that urged Turkish soldiers to “Have a smoke…and Surrender.” Then on numerous occasions he had himself piloted over the Turkish lines and rained the cigarettes down on the trenches.

    On 5 November, the Turks were attempting to make a stand at Sheria, about 15 kilometers southeast of Gaza. So Meinertzhagen went up in his plane and dropped thousands of packets of cigarettes again. The Turks didn’t even bother to take a shot at him, so grateful were they for a smoke.

    The difference this time was that Meinertzhagen had laced the butts with opium, also bought from his black market contacts. When the British attacked the next day, they found the Turks in an incoherent state, barely able to defend themselves."

Shame that opium is hard to find but I suppose hash/kief is almost up there (not really).  I only smoked red rock opium once in my life and we topped it on some semi decent weed.  It pretty much made it the best weed ever.

Indeed, that's me.

Some may think that makes me a terrible parent, but I know it doesn't.

I smoke after I put her to bed. I also work hard so I could place her in schooling since she was 1 1/2, keep her on a diet with no sodas or junk foods. She is a veggy addict, lol. I also pay to have her in dance classes and spend almost all my free time playing and/or teaching her. She is my world.

Its all about doing things responsibly.
