Posted: 7/23/2008 3:43:29 AM | Oh, please. Sir, you surely know that some people do not agree with the philosophy of the law. Certainly you know that laws in the past have changed, such in the case of Jim Crow, in response to the public outcry? Those who openly admit to their drug use do so because they are defiant of tyranny, and the people will always be so.
Your understanding of criminology is disturbingly lacking. I highly doubt you are actually a police officer. | |

I've got half a vicodin left over from my last toothache... Is it OK to take it when I have a headache or would that be considered doing drugs?

Perhaps the line that separates "defiant" from "stupid" needs to be a little more clear. I think I'm seeing "stupid" at the moment.  | |

How can "a doper or two" turn into an implication of ALL?
Programming and pot just don't go well together.
Eeek, love ya' guy, but I think you're hoisting yourself up on your own petard here.
In the context of your post, the implied generalization was there.
As far as BSD goes, I worked with some of the key people involved. And though my contact with them was well after the fact, it was still pretty clear to all who knew them well where some of their inspiration came from.
The thing with drugs is that individual reactions vary. There are some programmers of my personal acquaintance who did their very best work while high. And while that might well seem rare, it probably isn't as rare as the alcohol-fueled establishment would like to believe.
But I do agree that the do-nothings who use dope for an excuse aren't doing much good for anyone, especially themselves.
YMMV. The American Dream was supposed to be about freedom AND responsibility. | |

And the medical technician that sticks their finger up your butt....
You mean you can if someone has smoked pot by sticking your finger in their butt? Hmmm. Field sobriety tests have really gotten pretty sophisticated these days.
I use a very localized growth hormone....
You mean the "V" doesn't stand for victory? Who knew
The meth heads have probably sold their computers to by more meth anyway.
Not really, but they can type really really fast
All you need to form a bad opinioni of pot is to know a doper or two and watch them never getting anything done.
My my my. We're really chock full of misinformation aren't we LMAO.

True true. Actually, in THIS country, way back when, you could openly buy pot AND cocaine at any drugstore. This went on until the liquor lobby started putting pressure on the government and it has ONLY to do with money and nothing else. So, I suppose the truth to be drawn from that is the the lungs are sacrosanct and the liver is not. I had a very very close friend die from alcohol poisoning. Not a pretty sight to see. But I've never heard of ANYONE dying from pot use. Perhaps someone can educate me. Drunk drivers are the scourge of the highways and streets, but pot? Give me a break. People in this country are such bloody hypocrites.
meanwhile, all sensible and cool people of the world are smoking a little pot and minding a whole lot of their own damn business.
You got that right.
The shame of it is that most people get the bulk of their exercise by jumping to conclusions. Go figure. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 12:54:49 PM | | I would guess most people who admit to using drugs are those who are asked by a court official and it involves some sort of a deal whereas one must attend a diversion class or the likes , or face a jail sentence of some sort. To answer the question that is. | |

Posted: 7/29/2008 5:22:58 PM | This discussion is quite fascinating. As someone who has used drugs on occassion throughout most of my life, varying from aspirin to cough syrup to alcohol to marijuana to caffeine to psychedelics, I find the pre-determined "answers" to be entirely unsatisfactory. Even the simplist answer is no where to be found: Yes.
Instead, we must chose from Prefer Not to Say / No / Socially / Often. By default, I had to choose "Prefer Not to Say" as it carried the most truth given the other available responses. If there had been a "Yes" or "Occassionally" I would have happily chosen to display that response. For indeed, I do enjoy using mind altering substances. However, this is not always done socially nor is it done often. There are times, perhaps once a year, that I will engage a psychedelic experience as a method of personal growth and introspection. By allowing myself to temporarily review my life and circumstance with an altered perspective, I can at times gain insight into my most intimate motivations and aspirations, as well as grapple with matters of consequence that may have been left unsettled.
Unfortunately, there is no response available that coincides with the real truth about me and my drug use. And so it will stay, that I "Prefer Not To Say", even though I would very much prefer to be open from the get go, and will happily discuss such matters with a prospective mate. | |

(I suspect whoever created the question was on drugs)  | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 11:13:46 PM | I agree with Ace on this one...different people do have different experiences. One thing is certain though - when it comes to "drugs" it would seem that we all have a very different opinion of what is acceptable. In my opinion, that's why someone that smokes weed doesn't consider it a drug because it's natural and definitely not the same as smoking crack. So someone 420 friendly wouln't want to answer "yes" to the drug question for fear of being thrown in the same bunch as a crack user or someone that uses a needle to shoot themselves with something. It's absolutely, categorically, just not even in the same ball park. Consider this...weed is the only "drug" that grows naturally. It's the one and only "drug" that's NOT man made. I think a solution for the website would be to have a list of "drugs" just like the list of everything else that we select from. Maybe that way people that smoke/420 friendly would be more willing to check a box about marijuana instead of just one selection that encompasses all drug use including the harder drugs that can kill people. No one has ever died from smoking marijuana. The commercials say that it leads to other things, but who's paying for the commercial? The only thing it leads to is the munchies. A list would at least give people more of an option to be honest about this seemingly so touchy subject. I think that a list would also help the 420 friendly people who otherwise would be too scared to answer a general "yes" maybe 'fess up...after all...if they do it...then they're probably proud of it. It would help them find each other. The ones that don't smoke could avoid the ones that do. The ones that do smoke could find acceptance with others that also do. A list to selct from would be a win win situation for all in my opinion. | |

Posted: 8/26/2008 8:18:51 PM | | You guys are funny... Really it's not funny. I don't know if you have ever agreed to meet someone in person that obviously is under the influence. Meth Heads spend the entire lunch talking about the "drama" in their life and their habits.. Had someone been upfront I wouldn't have wasted my time and their money!! Definately no second meeting.. Been there, done that and moved on.. | |

Incorrect. There are countless drugs that are derived from natural sources, and quite a few that are consumed in their natural state altogether. The psychedelics mescaline and psilocybin are naturally occuring in various cacti and mushroom bodies, can and have been consumed raw picked straight from this earth for thousands of years. Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is arguably one of the most potent psychedelics and is produced in many plants, traditionally used by the Shamans of South America for spiritual ceremony, medicinal and personal growth. DMT is also found naturally in the human body, brain, spinal fluid, urine and blood (See Rick Strassman's [u]DMT: The Spirit Molecule[/u]).
Cocaine is another recreational drug that carries with it increased physical toxicity with respect to most psychedelics, however it still comes from the coca plant and though it is often processed into a powder form, it can be used sublingually in the form of a "quid" (ie. a rolled cigar of the fresh leaves, placed in the cheeks or under the tongue). Salvinorin-A from the Salvia Divinorum plant is another powerful psychedelic that occurs naturally and can be either smoked or used in the form of a quid.
I could go on, but you get the point. Mind you that I am in agreement with most of what you've said, and only wished to point out that while marijuana has certainly received the most progressive public exposure through the media and the medical marijuana camps, it is only one of many natural drugs that come from this earth. With that, I'll leave you with some lyrics from my man Ben Harper:
My choice is what I choose to do
And if I'm causing no harm
It shouldn't bother you
Your choice is who you choose to be
And if your causin' no harm
Then you're alright with me
Herb the gift from the earth
And what's from the earth
Is of the greatest worth
So before you knock it try it first
You'll see it's a blessing
And not a curse
If you dont like my fire
Then dont come around
Cause Im gonna burn one down
Yes Im gonna burn one down | |
