    drugs come in many forms/types
    alcohol, caffeine. thc, aspirin, sedatives, barbiturates and ativan etc
    one could even say sex and power are also types of drugs
    so let's face facts people we are all drug users.
    does that make it easier? or harder to accept?
    who here is not on drugs?

    exactly, I worked a customer service representative for United Healthcare for over 3 years assisting seniors & low income people with their Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, and I saw all the medications people were taking and the frequency, and a lot of these people were all fucked up for the cumulative toxic build up in their systems, and they would have to take more medications to reduce the side effects of other drugs, that's why I avoid prescriptions drugs if at all possible, not all people can, and many of the people taking pain medications in particular, seem hopelessly addicted, I saw a lot of fucked up shit in those 3 years, and how people's course of treatment varied greatly from one person to another. Some medications are required for a person's survival or ability to function, but many have natural far healthier alternatives

    Such a double standard on these boards.
    what's the difference between setting up a get together at a bar where alcohol will be consumed & setting up a get together for fans over 21 to consume something that is legal here in Washington, BTW the band is a big supporter of legalization, so not sure what double standard your speaking of

    You two should talk this out at the great at the great smoke out day.  "Dude, society is full of double standards."  "Woah, society is just a myth man."  "Slow your rol1, don't you mean person?"

    Yup, the prohibitionists and morality police on this board need to step back. Weed, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, sugar are all things that can be legally enjoyed here regardless of what people living in less enlightened states feel about it. Sorry for those of you who aren't experiencing the level of freedom we're afforded here. But please don't begrudge us. There is no difference between walking into a liquor store or walking into a pot shop here in WA. There is no difference between going home and night and relaxing with a beer or relaxing with a bowl. Both are  legal. Both are socially acceptable. Neither will hurt you in moderation (although alcohol has far more negative side effects, including a strong addiction component). Why the angst? Too many people apparently bought into Reefer Madness.  Modern day teetotalers still have the ability to abstain if they choose. But they no longer have the ability to limit my enjoyment of my choices.

    64% of Americans now support recreational legalization, including 51% of Republicans, so the people against us smoking weed are actually in the minority, and the minority is trying to determine the behavior for the rest of us, kind of pathetic actually

    haha, that's awesome, we always have great times at the pre-party's, one reason I don't like GA is missing those, so what's wrong with getting lit before a pre party, then having a edible after the pre-party for the concert? It's much easier to get in the groove chillin our smoking a joint, gets the groove going, and edibles make the music much better

    It's the same as drinking to me...  and I am for national & federal legalization.  What I take issue with are those who consume and preach that weed is 100% positive without any negative side effects...  tons of good, but also some bad.  Oh and those who smoke & drive and claim it's fine.  I've seen plenty of awful stoner drivers...

    Agreed. Weed, alcohol, prescription drugs and lack of sleep can all alter reflexes and perception. Nobody should ever drive impaired. And with the use of any substance, including sugar, and fats, moderation should be a rule. Almost anything you consume for pleasure has potentially deleterious side effects. Just know the risks.

    oh yeah I would never go taking bong rips and immediately go drive a vehicle, that's just dumb, and at least 30% of people who smoke weed don't like the way it makes them feel, so obviously it's not a cure all for everyone
