    Dude , they lost me with the "flashbacks" stuff. Lol. I'm taking your advice and letting them have the last word.

    And before anyone calls me a "doper" I should say I regularly take random hair follicle tests in addition to the random urine tests that's required as part of my contract.

    I'll just say I very respectfully disagree with the crowd that thinks weed is this terrible thing. It's illegal for us drivers and I'm fine with that, but there's much worse stuff (many of it legal) out there. And that's all I have to say about that. Lol

    A flashback is when some of the THC that your body has stored is released in sufficient quantity to generate a physical response.

    THC, unlike alcohol, can be stored or trapped by your body.

    Yeah I never heard of that in my life.

    It's funny. The same people with "don't tread on me" stickers and flags will let the government tread all over them.

    You yourself used the "dum" reference. I merely quoted it.
    There are many more definitions of "dope" than the one you cite.
    As other posters have noted, pot is often referred to as dope.

    This discussion has become boring, please carry on with your pot advocacy, though.
    I will endeavor to avoid you and your stoner brethren on the highways.
    Cheers

    Thc his not in your body very long. It's what your body metabolizes it into is what stays in your body. Thcooh.

    I smoked pot quite heavily in college, but have been clean @ 30 years. For a month or so after quitting, I got spontaneously high several times with no exposure. This was not my friends fooling with me, as my college friends did not follow me into the real world.

    I will, one day, hopefully, be able to legally enjoy a toke every now and then, after I retire. But THC has no place in a truck.

    Too much THC in this guys' body right now, I'd wager.

    Yeah I get it, you don't agree and have nothing else to say so you come at me like that.

    Adios

    This kid is a troll. Just move on. It's all good. Anyone that doesn't think weed is terrible gets called childish names. Lol. Pretty soon the adults will end his computer time and this will end. Till then, don't feed the troll.
     
    Airborne, Fold_Moiler and Lepton1 Thank this.
