Man way to lay it down Aftershock And that aint even the half of it ! With all that we have going on today in the world and especially here in the USA . Dont you think we could be focusing our resources on bigger problems ? Aftershocks post was refreshing .For i minute i thought i was surrounded by Sheeple .

Happy smoking AfterShock, live long and toke hard, all will be well after the next bowl, but I sure hope your not on any roads while doing so.

What?
Another cheap shot?
Typical.
A diversion tactic is created by either name-calling, and/or making unfounded and uncalled for accusations, rather than rationally
discussing a subject.

FYI, if I were given a random drug test today, I'd pass with flying
colors. Same if I were tested a week, month or a year from now.
"Apparently" I don't use marijuana, and/or other illegal drugs.
And IF I did, rest assured, I wouldn't drive a motor vehicle while under, or over,
the influence of ANYthing that would impair my abilities to safely operate a vehicle on the "roads".
That even includes being sick with the flu.
Why is it that folks like you assume that those seeking the
TRUTH are under the influence of that which they research?
Personal experience?

If the research you've studied reached a conclusion that "chronic" THC use
is detrimental, by your own reasoning, or lack thereof, THEY must have
been under the influence of THC.
Guilt by association.
And IF so, it would have affected their short-term memory.
Convoluted logic?
Of course it is.

I imagine that if you, or a loved one, were diagnosed with an illness that THC would lessen the effects of,
you'd be the first in line to receive it, or demand that it be dispensed to you, or a loved one.
But, until then, you'll deny the relief for others, based on your closed-minded opinion(s),
and choice to believe what the gubmint studies present as "fact"(s).

There are none so blind as those who would lead a horse to water,
and still not smell the coffee brewing on the greener side of the fence.
Or, ....... sumthin' like that.
Memory, ....... second thang to go,
doncha know.
Must be due to all that second hand, chronic ignorance I've inhaled over the years.
Ya reckon.

Keep those eyes wide shut, OldCornBinder.
Ignorance is a useful excuse --
But only if there's a good excuse for being ignorant.

Allodoxaphobia?
Epistemophobia?
Phronemophobia?
"Apparently" you need to have those checked out.

Cool down AfterShock, as much as you bait me I'm not going to buy into your position based on your suggested readings. Just because you say your spouting truth does not mean that it IS the truth. Research done using the scientific model using empirical data to formulate logical conclusions that can be replicated is where I look to find answers.

By the way, at this point this should be moved over to the political area where it should have started so I'll meet you there.

According to my pyrometer, I'm not runnin' hot.
'Bout normal, I'd say. Of course not.
I didn't think you would.
I cut bait a long time ago.
Sure wouldn't want you to read ANYthing contrary to what you
WANT to believe.
How much sense does THAT make? YuP.
Works both ways.
Although, I must admit, I do not recall saying I was "spouting" truth. Geeze OldCornBinder!
All those BIG words just confuse me.
Please try to confine words to two syllables, or fewer.

You can inhale, but don't hold your breath.

After shock, very well put....

I think people that like to force thier IDea's onto other people have an issue with not being taken seriously or think no one ever believes them.

Smoking Hemp, will do nothng besides give you a big stomach ache.

How many drunk driving case's are there every year....

How many People Walk out of Bars totally drunk off their rear and can not walk straight, but still drive. Yes their stupidity causes thousands their innocent lives.

But the government still allows it to be legal, though plenty of research has showed .... unlike you I will include my research....

Booze leads to Violence in home, While potheads sit and laugh at spongebob on the couch...

"About 3 million violent crimes occur each year in which victims perceive the offender to have been drinking at the time of the offense.

Two-thirds of victims who suffered violence by an intimate (a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend) reported that alcohol had been a factor.

Among spouse victims, 3 out of 4 incidents were reported to have involved an offender who had been drinking.

Source: U.S. Department of Justice. Bureau of Justice Statistics. National Crime Victimization Survey 2002."

A Harvard School of Public Heath study found that 72 percent of college rapes occurred when the female was too intoxicated by alcohol to resist/consent. Source: [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link.


Also, It is very rude to assume someone who defends pot is a user like you Old, have done to Aftershock....

Some people are just more open minded and are open to the whole picture and truth unlike some people....

Thanx, Calitrucking.

I think I should point out that I neither discourage nor encourage the use of marijuana.
However, I do suggest that folks learn the facts and the truth
about THC and it's effects, as well as the real reasons why our
gubmint considers it to be bad.

That being said, I also realize that as a Big truck truck driver, I'm not allowed to
partake upon the substance if I want to drive, and therefore, as a driver of
Big trucks, I choose not to.
However, a random drug test that indicates a person HAS used marijuana,
but isn't necessarily under the influence at the time of the test, I
feel is not the same thing, and therefore, unfair.
Just another hoop we have to jump through to comply, and not all that
hard to do.

Armed with that information, it's up to the individual to make an
informed decision as to whether they choose to use marijuana, or not.
I hold nothing against anyone no matter what choice they make, --- as
long as their use doesn't endanger other's well-being and/or safety.
Same with alcohol.
Be responsible.

I think it's a crime to deprive patients the relief that THC provides them.
And I think those who ignore the potential benefits of THC are doing a dis-service
to those who's suffering could be lessened by a THC prescription.
