losing people

[2fast92]

My mom always gets pissed when I smoke but she doesn't do anything about it, the only reason she gets mad about it is because it's illegal. She smokes sometimes though, she won't admit it but I know she does. She was smoking one time at my cousin's wedding with my aunt and uncle and my aunt had bought weed from me hours before they had a sesh. I thought it was pretty funny my mom smoked my weed.

If you lose someone over something as small as smoking weed, then you never had them to begin with.

yeah, thats what i think.

plus if they are buying the words of politicians and snakeoilsalesmen..

well, then they are too fucking retarded to have a conversation with in the first place, their opinions about anything but what they just ate and whether they want it again, just dont fucking matter. (best just viewed in similar manner to the pets at home (too dumb to talk, but need to be petted occasionally)

It's all about education. Every one of us is a cannabis advocate, like it or not. The way we conduct ourselves reflects on how the world around us sees our herb. Back in the day, we just smoked to get high; we had no idea it actually was good for you and had medicinal qualities, so that gave pot a bad name. Of course the government and media started it and some people will believe anything the government says because we all know our government would never lie to the citizens.

@ Charlie Who: what does being a Republican have to do with anything??? How's that hopey changed bullshit working for you?

But see, here's the thing. People don't go to bars for the health benefits, they go to get fucked up, and people as a whole are cool with this as long as you don't turn into a straight alcoholic, even then, many people are cool with it. Those same people will talk shit night and day about the evils of pot, despite that unlike alcohol, no deaths can be attributed to it. Your generation getting high for the sake of getting high shouldn't have been seen as a bad thing. But the fact is people want a scapegoat. The same thing happened with alcohol during prohibition. Society blamed every damn problem in existence to the evil of alcohol. People want something to blame thats not them.

Kay, done with my little rant.
Though I will have to agree that we are all cannabis advocates. Because of the mass of ignorance every stoner that isn't what society wants as an ideal member is hailed as an example of why pots evil.

rant or not, everything you said was true.

...though with a society that considers cheech and chong a bad thing to have around..well, lets just say, its just more and more monkeys in the forest to me.

Losing someone is a weird way to put it. But a few years back i made the effort of getting across the conutry after a long days work on christmas even to visit the family, i don't like drinking champagne for breakfast so i took a few joints with me. When my older brother was informed (lawyer in training thinks he knows the world) he went mental and started making things up out of thin air about how i was putting him in jeopardy (i know the law with regard to what was being said so knew that it was bull). Needless to say i told him to fuck himself and have not spoken to him since. It's no big deal at all though so don't really see it as losing someone. There are plenty more folk to talk to if i fancy some company.

any issues with friends i've encountered has been purely because of prejudice and ignorance, that is to say them mouthing off when they have not smoked any kind of quantity to be able to reasonably make the point they are making, they usually get taught how things are fairly swiftly.

Sounds like big bro gonna make a really good prosecuting attorney.

straight up if I have family or friends that have an issue with weed and they push it in my face then yes they are lost, fuck em.
