Weed Survey
I just read this article on the effects of marijuana smoke. Here’s a quote:
Patients who smoke marijuana inhale more and hold their breath four times longer than cigarette smokers. It is the breathing manoeuvres of marijuana smokers that serve to increase the concentration and pulmonary deposition of inhaled particulate matter — resulting in greater and more rapid lung destruction.
I know plenty of people who smoke weed, some occasionally, some regularly, just like I know plenty of people who drink alcohol, though most people I know who drink do so regularly, if not every day after they get home from work or before they go to bed. If I could legally choose between one or the other, I’d choose weed any day of the week. I don’t mind a beer or some single-malt once in a while, but if I drink too much, the effects for me — the immediate effects or the day-after effects — are always undesirable. Weed, on the other hand, has no after-effects and it’s immediate effects are harmless: everything becomes 10 times funnier and so you’re laughing your ass off every other minute, and/or you get the munchies. Some people get a little paranoid, but most paranoid people don’t get belligerent or violent, which does happen for many people who drink too much.
The only real downside to weed is that you have to smoke it. Putting any kind of smoke in your lungs cannot be a good thing. All arguments that marijuana smoke is less harmful than tobacco smoke, or that marijuana smoke is actually good for your health, are foolish and deluded. That’s just people who like to get high rationalizing a behaviour that is technically illegal. Which is too bad because, except for the smoke in the lungs, marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol. Smoking or possessing it should not be a criminal offense.
Anyone ever try weed brownies?
Anyhoo… let’s do a survey.

And, no, I don’t smoke weed. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, but there’s too much cancer in my family for me to chance it.
> I don’t smoke weed
HAHAHAHAHAHA
That’s not very funny. You know better than anyone I’ve had a serious addiction to modelling glue my whole life and that alternatives to modelling glue are required from time to time.
A student of mine shared with me that his father smokes a lot weed and also commented to his son (my student) that he would be more successful in his job if he didn’t partake of the forbidden herb so often.
If his father was boozing it up every day, would this kid have shared this me???? I’m thinking not…I wish he wouldn’t have told me this.
I will probably be meeting this guy at some point and now I will be wondering if he’s blasted or not…maybe I will put out a plate of cookies and see if he goes for them or maybe find some way to fuck with his mind.
I’ve got nothing against it, but I don’t think his son should be blabbin’ it to the world.
