I hung out in an alley last week and got stoned, and felt like a teenager...


I should have known better...
You fuckers are stoned right now.




And you want the rest of us to take you seriously?

YES!, what are you doing to save the world? huh Hero?

I'm pretty sure the statement of going to the mall to buy pot was used strickly for emphasis. Or perhaps you're high, and missed that. Although - if legal - who would care? Booze is sold at the mall.....

You don't have to be high to sit on a porch and sing Lennon - drunks, the mentally unbalanced, and 100% sane and normal people (under the influence of nothing) have been doing it for years....

I know you're just after a bit of a rise - it's hard to take anyone serious that seems so devoted to the lol "smiley face".

Great idea Speedy.

A few years ago I came up with "Weed N Feed" for this sort of business.

For all of us who enjoy it recreationally (imagine that!), there are also many of us who use it for medical reasons...actual legit non-fun reasons!

I know...whoa

(also - Weed n Feed is f'in brilliant)

There are just a couple of points I'd like to add.
Yes, it is certainly possible for most people to obtain said product by picking up the phone and making a few calls. Availability for most folks is generally not an issue. When I make a purchase of anything, I like to know where my money is going. Here in AZ, every night on the news one of the headline stories is something like "Van stopped on I-10 this afternoon by highway patrol and it was carrying 300lbs of pot, 400lbs of meth, and 200lbs of cocaine". Drugs linked to the Mexican drug cartel...the very ones who weeks earlier slaughtered a dozen Mexican officials and police. Call me crazy, but I have a hard time justifying catching a buzz on a weekend knowing that my money is helping fund the Mexican cartel and paying for worthless, lowlife scumbags to deliver a product to my wealthy neighborhood. Availability is certainly there...no problem.

Careers and lives destroyed.
How many people are in jail do to minor pot possession?
How many lives and careers of good, honest people were destroyed because they liked to relax with a joint on the weekend, or after a long day at work? A couple years ago, a prominent physician who was working on a groundbreaking cancer drug got busted for possessing a half ounce of dope while driving home from work (not under the influence, just a traffic stop). This man is truly a genius, a man who dedicated his life to helping others...a man who could have worked at MD Anderson Cancer Center as a physician making a cool half-mil per year, but decided to use his intellect to help others in the development of ground breaking cancer drugs.
He was immediately fired from his position. Dozens of pharma and research companies reached out to him hoping they could land a great mind, but there was just that one little problem...background checks. He told me that he was offered 6-figure sign-on bonuses with lucrative salaries without even interviewing. Companies were salivating at the idea of having him come work with them. He could never get another job in the industry as a result of being pulled over for coasting through a stop sign.

The cancer patients I work with who constantly have to battle to not only live but to live their final days in comfort. Prior to the medical marijuana laws, so many good people who were trying to fight the good fight being harassed by John Law. One such individual was driving to the clinic for her next round of chemo, got lightheaded so pulled over on the side of the road. She fell asleep for about 20 minutes to be awoken by a police man tapping on her door. She was in bad shape from her treatment. Nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, fatigue, neuropathy...she was arrested for being under the influence...not of any illegal substance, alcohol or even pot...but her cancer medicine. She later got off of the charge, but John Law found a tin of joints in her purse. She had to pay a $1500 fine. Yeah, maybe she got off easy, but when she's paying $30k a month for cancer treatments that likely won't work...money her kids and grandkids will likely be paying...a $1500 fine isn't so much a slap on the wrist anymore.

Yes, anyone can get it...but to me "availability" isn't the issue. It's the law itself that is hurting so many good, honest people from participating in an otherwise harmless activity. This country should be ashamed of itself.

1st off let me say that i 100% agree that pot should be legalized in this country and that it's unbelievably crazy that some places still don't allow it for medical purposes.

that being said it's still illegal and i have a hard time having sympathy for those who lose careers because they get caught breaking the law. the penalties are out of whack no doubt but most know that going in.
