Yup, that would be a good vacation.

How hard do you think it would be to Fed Ex me over there?  Do you have an overnight delivery stop?

Curacao?  Cold?  Not the Curacao I'm thinking of...

still bet it has good fishing

Lol, I wouldn't waste my time fishing, but sandy beaches and clear blue water sound good to me.

/me takes the plane .
maybe next quakecon should be at  curacao  B)

Heh, I have nothing wrong with naturally-occuring substances. The drugs *I* dislike come out of some amateur chemist's basement.

But as with any substance that has a solid effect on your equilibrium, taken in moderation or not at all. Smoking pot itself is relatively harmless, same as taking a shot of whiskey. But if you do it every day, things are gonna stop working right.

>Most of my friends do Tons of pot, and none of them is dumb.

The "is" speaks for itself.

Drugs:  People pretending like it's a non-issue / "doesn't hurt ME man." / denial of medical facts.

Well you know Nightshade is perfectly natural.  So is hot molten lava.  That doesn't mean they're good for you.  The only reason I can figure people don't want to believe this is that they're too unwilling to give up their habit when confronted with facts, so it's easier to just dismiss the facts.  For those who know people who are "ok" while doing this stuff, I ask you this:  How old are said people, how long have they been doing their chemical or choice, and how heavily?  If they're young, say 20's or so, then you've not waited long enough.  By the time people get burned out it's too late to go back, and the damage cannot be undone.  You can't say there are not risks without lying to yourself about it.  A little may not hurt you, true, but over a long period of time it will.

I suppose I'll never understand the pothead mentality.  I can see so many more useful things to do with one's life than smoke it away and waste it on some stupid weed.  To each their own I suppose.  Vices never did make sense to me, and I doubt they ever will.

You discuss like you play quake Manticore. Weakly and without making any sense.

First of all: I Do Not Smoke Pot Myself.

Secondly: I Am Human, And Therefore Err On Occasion. Try comparing my posts with some people that were born in a country where English is the first language and see that I, in fact, am doing fairly remarkable.
Apart from the occasional error, which you will gladly point out. And oh yes, that one single error that I understand and acknowledge will definately undermine my entire statement.
Oh boy. Why is this shite not in CC by now. I feel like insulting people.


Anyway, Pho, you're right about some people going for the 'it's natural' and 'it has no adverse effects', but I never made any such claims. The effects are (obviously) per joint as bad as for smoking, and although in moderation (there it is again) the effects are as insubstantial as for drinking, they are there.
What ticks me off is that people pretend it KILLS INSTANTLY, that it ruins life after life like it is bloody heroin. And it simply isn't - it does so much less harm than alcohol, and that was the bigger part of the point. Whenever I get in a fight with a pothead in the middle of the night somewhere, I'll adjust this statement ;]


If the bandmembers of most of the stuff I listen to wouldn't have had vices of any kind, I'm sure I'd be listening to awfully boring music, btw - That alone is justification enough for me. And I am sure of it, that were I to do weed once in a while, I would only skin better.
