Discuss this wonderful creation.

Stories, Pictures etc..

I discovered this a few years ago for the first time, in Amsterdam.
And it has since enhanced my life a considerable amount, I couldn't be happier and I much prefer it to drinking.

Also, I don't require people telling me about the dangers of smoking.
Consider the fact that I maintain a professional level job and busy social life, and the cannabis plant has not affected any of this in the slightest.

Well, I can see no reason why this should be locked, as we are all legal users of it, right? :)

I know Marc Emery, first found out about him due to the documentary Super High Me.
He sure enjoys life!

If you're going have a thread about marijuana, at least do it right and put it in the marijuana forum.

THC should be legalized for recreational and medicinal purposes. It's use should be unrestricted and unregulated.

Row row, fight the powah.

Ahh cool, u saw that documentary.
The doc looked really appealing to me ``due to its like Super Size Me but with pot``, and is pretty damn good if you ask me.

Well you`re right, this thread shouldnt be locked.
Even those nazi mods at gamespot let there be threads on pot, and im sure MB n HamZ love to toke up xP
Who knows? Maybe Jeff, Ryan, Brad and Vinny have some awesome stories when they were high :)

On topic, has anyone been to a large smoking festival, like where alot of people are smoking. Like 420 celebrations?
Curious how they are in other countries and how the cops react to them. Cops are really chill over here about that sort of thing.

If you post it there, it will appear on the "Newest Topics" board, a board which almost everyone frequents.

This is going to get locked when the mods come online, but until then, I might as well join in on the discussion.

I have never smoked pot and I don't intend to. I'm 16 and all of my friends have, one of my closest friends is a complete stoner. He's smart and a great guy, but a major stoner. The funny thing is, everyone thinks I'm a stoner. Most parents in my community don't like, they think somehow I'm a bad influence. Which is hilarious, considering how so many of their kids are always on my back trying to get me to smoke pot. I just don't want to. I love to drink, but I just don't want to smoke. I'm my own person and I make my own decisions. And I say I'm not going to smoke pot.

That's not to say I think pot is a bad thing, it isn't. And it should be legalized. Because, let's be honest, alcohol is way more harmful than marijuana could ever "dream" to be. That aside, I'm not a smoker. I have no intention to. wutevz lolzrofl

Yeah, allot of people have off topic turned off, so actually more people will see it if it's in the marijuana forum. Plus if someone is looking for a thread on marijuana in a couple of weeks time, and they check the marijuana forum, they would find the post, but since its in off topic it'll be buried under hundreds of other threads and it will be impossible to find.

Really? I was under the impression that very few people have it turned off. Off-topic threads still get a lot of hits. Also, what with the end of the election season, political threads aren't flooding the forums anymore. I'd be surprised if even 1/3 of the user base has it turned off.

I love your negative outlooks towards the subject.

Are you telling me that every single thread created, is in it's correct forum and if not, is always moved by moderators to it's correct forum?
Relax. Move it, if it grinds on you that much.
They're your rules, after all.

I've never smoked marijuana, and I look down on people who do.

That said, I think it should be legalized for all purposes, including recreation. Cannabis seems to be less harmful than tobacco, but there is already a worldwide movement to ban / heavily regulate tobacco sale.

People have to understand that if people want to hurt themselves, they can. Would you want to pass regulation on people banging their head against a wall?

He is a wiki moderator, he can't move it. Neither can the other moderators move it with the current tools.

No, and moderators can't move threads to specific forums, only to the other major forums (OT, General, bombcast, bug reporting etc.) so it will stay here forever, but it would make navigating the forums easier if everyone would post threads in the appropriate forums. It's not a big deal, it's just a pointer for the future.

I don't think a huge number of people have it turned off, but I know quite a few do.

At tne end of the day, I don't want to annoy people. That's not the purpose of this thread.

So I apologize for posting this in the incorrect section.

Also, for the record, there is no concrete proof that smoking Marijuana can harm anybody,  apart from the obvious fact that smoking in general effects your lungs.
There is no proof that ties together mental health and cannabis, at present.
In fact, as of late, there is an increase of studies showing that there is no harm.

If you smoke and then drive, that can definitely harm you and others. That's no different than alcohol, though.

Well i have had countless debates on the subject. countless.
Its not an Alcohol vs Marijuana, which is less dangerous thing, and never has.
Sure pot may not be bad for your health (as far as i know) but the bottom line is it makes you retarded for about 2 hours.
That said, its the persons fault for getting stoned at work or whatever, and its better that hes stoned, relaxed and chill instead of drunk, angry and sloppy.
It should be legalized for recreational use and such, but the bottom line is when people use it recreational it isn't benifiting them. And since it isn't benifiting people (recreationally), there's not rush to legalize it. Because of the small percentile of people who will do bad stuff because of pot or get stoned at work.

So yah, my 2 cents on the subject. I trimmed down most of it to avoid a long boring wall of text.

And btw, threads have been locked because in the wrong catagory.  Dont be sorry, youre not annoying anyone, its just gonna get locked =|
