Oh...and you missed the point about my smokin' days. They're over...I wish they weren't. Didn't "need" it (obviously, because there was NO withdrawal when I quit), I just liked it.

 

Wings will kill you far before some ganja. Far worse for you.

Booze = same thing. A couple beers and you are literally poisoning yourself. Alcohol is one of the worst, most addicting, most family destroying drug known to man. You indulge yourself in it, but feel you can justifiably judge others, because they smoke ?

Why do you feel its ok to drink, but not ok for us to smoke ? Your doing far more damage to your body then us. Not all potheads are lazy either. Some of us go on to be varsity captains in many different sports.
I played football at a school where football is everything.

Now, all you guys judging us. You ever drive 5 MPH over the posted speed limit ? Ever speed at all ? YES. And thats far more dangerous then smoking some ganja, any day. You can kill yourself, passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, go through a house when you lose control, property damage, etc etc etc etc. Again, this is the least harmful vice out there, or one of. The hypocrisy on this board is a perfect example of hypocrisy displayed by our government. So good job guys, your all as mindless and robot-like as the rest of em !

 

Why not focus on the OP's topic? Let's do that. Making this into a pro pot thread is not what this thread was intended for.

 

I have had test performed on me for this. Have you ? or do you simply gobble up and believe all the spew put out online ?

Test performed on me, over a 6 month period of smoking and not smoking, showed that the lungs will regrow and you will have zero to little lung capacity loss. Its not like tobacco, that ruins you fgor good. You can repair it by stopping the smoke inhalation. Many other ways to ingest cannabis. Eat it, vaporize it, topical sprays, pills, etc etc etc. Smoking isn't the only way. Advancments in cleaning the smoke are far greater then back in your day old man ! We have carbon filters, we have water filter, we have tons of things that would blow you away.

I guess the reason Mike Tyson was able to become a well known pro boxer was because he wasn't a world class athlete huh ? The guys in the NFL, NBA, and any other sport, don't really need lungs, huh ?

I have covered this issue already. thanks for taking the time to read all the post before making your completely useless comments. Thanks !

 

ok, I'm done.

 

Pot thread closed.
