Pot/drugs: An all-encompassing explanation.

[Doktor Howl]

I think alot of your social ineptness could be cured by lurking for a little while until you understand the social conventions and conversational patterns of this particular community which, like any community, has it's own tribal rituals, taboos, and general ettiquette.

That's already been suggested, ECH.  His response was something about teaching us all how to be real people, or some shit.

You know, just like always.

I can't stop looking. It's like Cathy all over again 

Cathy?

although it's not going to do any good.

Telarus, Toking isn't here to debate, or even have a rational conversation.  He's a very busy guy, you know, with many important things to do (like, well, smoking pot) and a LIFE - unlike us - which, strangely enough, seems to include hundreds of weed forums.

He's here, by his own admission, to "stir shit", just like AKK, Cowass, DK, The Lamanite, and every other "zany" piece of road trash that's blown through here in the past.

Well shit, look what happens when the thread leaps 4 pages while I compose a post.



How disappointing. I wonder if disappointment is a common theme surrounding those personality types. 

I don't know for sure, but it looks that way.  He said he wanted a conversation about pot, so I wrote a page about it.  His response was "I CAN'T BE BOTHERED AND THERE WASN'T MUCH TO RESPOND TO ANYWAY", as if HIS posts weren't 3 lines of grammatical errors, poor spelling, and no content whatsoever, beyond feeble little passive-aggressive stabs.

He really is a pathetic piece of human garbage. 

Of the investigators who have pierced even for a moment the magic veil of its glamour ecstatic many have been appalled, many disappointed. Few have dared to crush in arms of steel this burning daughter of the Jinn; to ravish from her poisonous scarlet lips the kisses of death, to force her serpent-smooth and serpent-stinging body down to some infernal torture-couch, and strike her into spasm as the lightning splits the cloud-wrack, only to read in her infinite sea-green eyes the awful price of her virginity --


BLACK MADNESS.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Damn, and there I was trying to contribute more than fluff.

Also stupid phone won't let me see Scouse spag's links

Also neighbours son here at my dad's is dealing and trying to hide his consumption and the paranoid look on the boy's face whenever I see him up to no good is priceless! Ah the memories!

[Remington]

So tell us, TokinGLX, is it true that smoking pot results in the permanent paralysis of your Shift key?

no, but it does flip my question mark upside down and for some reason i dont think this keyboard has an apostrophe.  oh well, somehow i learn to live with it.

Interesting.

For your enlightenment, these are "capital" letters:

>>ABCDEFG<<

They go at the beginning of sentences and proper nouns, as well as a few other places. When used, they inform the reader that the person who wrote that sentence is not a fucking illiterate, and that they know how to use their own damn native language. In other words, they are essential to any written communication.

I got pointed towards the comic Cathy the other day (http://www.gocomics.com/cathy/) and it was so bad, I could not stop reading the delicious unlol horror. I. read. the. whole. thing. Tokin's posts are looking a bit like that. so. I. keep. looking.

I think I may have a problem.

Oh, Goddamn, who did THAT to you?  That is the 2d worst comic in American history, right after Peanuts.

Just tell him "We KNOW what YOU'RE up to, my lad."

QUIT HARSHING HIS HIGH, YOU CALLOUS BASTARD!

[Shai Hulud]

I believe it was Sigmatic, but it was made up for with a very very decent comic though, so it's not all bad.

Ooh, which one is that?  You can't be referring to anything in the newspaper, can you?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

American newspaper comics are, with occasional mystifying exceptions, (when they're good, they're REALLY FUCKING GOOD) entirely archives of 

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Nah a wink will mek the lad ten times more paranoid. If he speaks to me and offers me any I'll just tell him I can't cos of pot psychosis and really give the boy the Fear.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

"Cathy" is so bad that I start laughing as soon as I start reading it, in anticipation of how unfunny it's going to be.

"Peanuts" I can understand, because it was basically appealing entirely to children under 8. "Cathy" is supposed to be for middle-aged women.

Which is part of why I am terrified of becoming a middle-aged woman.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

On the subject of the OP, I am thinking about getting a green card.

I don't even like pot that much, but if I have a green card I can grow it myself and it'll be free, plus it's both cheaper and less addictive than Xanax.

[Eater of Clowns]

I like the OP and I'll admit to not having read the entirety of the thread before this (it's hefty, I'll come back to it).

I agree with it - for the most part I have no qualms with stoners and my interaction with anyone who takes heavier stuff is limited.  My problem comes with people lay claim to having experienced more of life and deeper meanings than I have because they choose to so indulge.  If they do it because they like it, that's fine, but of the many things a drug may be it is not a mark of enlightenment.  Frequently it's the "enlightened" stoners I hate being around because they inevitably drag you into some stupid "deep" conversation when they're stoned and you aren't.  They then preach their self perceived brilliance while claiming you simply don't get it.  Only hostility is a reasonable response.

I identify with a few people in this thread - LMNO in that I enjoy a pleasant alcoholic buzz and the taste of many spirits.  Jason in that I've never tried pot (he specified a few others as well).  I've never tried anything other than alcohol (and a total of 4 cigarettes and 2 cigars).  Never had much of a desire to.

000 brought up caffeine as well as an addictive drug.  I recognize this and drink one cup of coffee daily for about two weeks, then no caffeine for a few days to withdraw, and back on the cycle.  I hate the feeling of waking up in the morning and needing the caffeine to really experience my day.
