    How about an ativan? Percs? Dilaudid?

    I didn't know college drinking could rise any higher. Maybe people aren't lieing about it anymore?

    cos let's face it... after a few bong rips, a few more doesn't get you any higher. it's got a built in restraint mechanism ;)

    i used to love valium... pop a pill or two with a joint and a few drinks... your worries will disappear for hours.

    Pretty much all pot smoking is binge. Everyone I know smokes pot to get stoned. I've yet to see to many just take a single hit with dinner then pass on pot the rest of the night.

    We've created a culture where the solution to every problem is to pop a pill, and we're shocked .... simply SHOCKED!!!! ... that kids are popping pills in unprecedented numbers.

    Parents start stressing before the kid is even born about whether or not he'll get into the "right" preschool. Kids don't get to be kids ... they don't get to go outside and run around like maniacs, play games with their friends where they make up the rules and resolve any conflicts themselves. No more pickup baseball games, all their time is spent in structured activities supervised by adults. By junior high they're stressing about their grades, worried that they won't get into the "right" college, or won't qualify for enough scholarship money to go to college at all. It's not enough anymore for the high achievers to ace a full course load of AP classes ... they also must have a job and at least 4 extracurriculars at all times so their college applications will be impressive enough.

    Gee whiz, I wonder why these kids are stressed out :rolleyes:

    I do that every night. But as soul said, I could smoke an eighth but after 2 or 3 loads I can't get any higher.

    I don't believe everything I read. I'm a mom in middle-class America and I believe what I see happening all around me.

    Yeah, your body can only metabolize it at a certain rate, so your high will definately plateau..................Unless you mix it with other drugs. I'm sure I'm not the only one who figured out the hard way how lots of alcohol and pot together can be a very bad night......................Although the pot and shrooms turned into one of the best days of my life, lol

    I'll agree with this, too. I don't smoke but the few people close to me who do smoke usually wake and bake then toke up again in the evening. Passing the bong around all night long is for high school parties.

    You certainly do make a lot of assumptions.

    Your hysterical over-reactions to anything having to do with people under 25 are quite entertaining to watch :D

    What they call binge drinking is just a normal nite for people in Milwaukee. LOL I also agree what somebody said that after 2 or 3 hits of really good pot. You can't get any higher. Yr just wasting it at that point. I never did pills when I was younger or really now. Glad I stayed away from that.
