Because The Raisin is a douche.

At least I'm clean then.

What hate? I wasn't hating, honestly.

I think most alcohol is consumed in the form of alcoholic beverages . . . I could be wrong though.

Come to think of it, this is really a moot point, because I really don't plan on ever doing any sort of drug. I suppose the only sure way to avoid addiction is to not consume anything potentially addictive. I'm sticking with caffeine, though. It makes me feel like dancing.

Like I said. If you can't handle pop

stay out of the pop factory.

I didn't find it very intresting.

I like pop though. And Starbucks Mocha Frappuccinos, twelve for five bucks at your local Costco wholesale outlet! *hits the bottle*

But back on the subject of marijuana, can anyone offer an explanation of factors affecting the smell of burning pot?

What happened to this topic :/

Okay this topic was *interesting*TBB. Anyways, while I think marijuana does spark the philosophical thinking in a huge way, most of the time they are completely retarded. My friend who smokes tells me about his epiphanies, and sometimes he'll think he found the answer to everything and he'll tell me that everything and everyone is a circle, revolves in a circle, and is made up of circles. I was like WTF! The scary thing is some people believe the *philosphy* they have while they are high even after the effects wear off. Some good things do come out of it though I guess, like we have more freedoms because of what the hippies did in the 60's. I guess this topic could be taken as a flame toward you Sulleytheraptor, but its really not and I think that what you said was intresting and wasn't retarded at all.

i wouldn't give marijuana that much credit.

and the revelations people have while they are high are ludicrous.

i would give more credit to the free-thinkers during the tenure of Timothy Leary who used LSD.

people who get high and try to wax philosophical are not much fun. for a few reasons. most of the time, they don't know what they're saying.

now, if you had two people who actually study philosophy and they both read Thus Spake Zarathustra and then went on about it, that could be interesting.

i had a discussion where someone tried to use the Nietzschian 'God is dead' metaphor in a physical sense. that's what i mean.

peoples' behaviors while they are high don't change just because their high. the quality of any given conversation is directly proportional to their intelligence.

marijuana doesn't turn morons into savants.

Yeah, we're actually made of spheres.

no, good sir!

That's not too nice.

Anyway, as for pot, I think it's fun, but not worth doing frequently. Maybe once a month or whatever is fine. Actually, I have a cool story about these stoned epiphanies.

I have a friend who has a friend who is a 50 year old hippie. He has long hair, he smokes pot every day, and he's actually pretty smart, although spacey. So during the summer, he thought that the world was going to revert back to 1973 and he'd be the only one to know. I thought it was cool that he could be that crazy. He's a nice guy, just a total stoner. And that's my story.

An interesting story at that, good sir. Old hippies are cool.

As for frequent 'pot' smoking, I find that rather childish. Well, if you can afford it, and don't mind losing a few sperm, go well ahead. Otherwise, I'd say keep it occasional. That's what I do, anyways.
