I am not saying that stoners are always lazy, but they usually are while under the influence.
No, J, no the're not! That is as big a propaganda fact as the gateway druq theory. Laziness is an individual trait that affects many people in many forms. Being stoned is not a one way ticket to lazy-time.
I know many people who are VERY productive while stoned, some even more productive while stoned than while not.
For someone that doesn't partake, you sure know alot about the subject.
Exactly. I'll be 'celebrating the date' as it were (like any other day) after I'm done with my one job (which requires driving...I would never drive under the influence of anything) and before I start my second job (which I do at home). I'm excellent at both and I work about 80 hours a week. If I'm lazy I'd like to see what productive is.
As someone who was sXe in another lifetime, I hate to see people waste their time and talent abusing any kind of substance. As someone who changed my personal choices since, I can realistically see that people can waste time and talent whether they're sober or not. The people I see wasting the MOST time are those who're overly concerned with other folks' personal decisions, sober or otherwise. Live and let live is good for you and everyone else.
So...happy day to all the lazy hippies, regular working folks, sXe'ers, and everybody else! Today's as good an excuse to have a good day as any other day.
For someone that doesn't partake, you sure know alot about the subject.
I went to a public high school... I knew plenty of people who treated pot like it was better than sex. Me saying that people are lazy when high is based on the people I have observed.
And for the record, I have never been drunk, though I have drank wine on several occasions, I have tried 2 types of beer, and drank a screwdriver once; and I have never consumed any kind of illegal substance, ever. The closest I have came to that is doing whipits (huffing CO2) once in 9th grade, and the following day I couldn't remember how to write my name (obviously I did remember after doodling for a minute). Afterwards, I decided that I didn't need to ever do whipits again.
And good choice on deciding not to suck the air out a Ready Whip can anymore.
But the rest of you're generalizations are just that. You're basing a strong opinion on what you witnessed 9 years ago from kids. That doesn't scream knowledge.
^If you were huffing C02 canisters you were definitely doing it wrong, and probably burned more braincells in two minutes than I have over a lifetime.
Your high school experiences have nothing at all to do with the the real world, plenty of grown ups responsibly smoke out . In fact I bet you be surprised by the number. The laziness thing is flat out BS, people who are going to abuse things abuse them, and just give the rest of us a bad name.
I am lazy too. I am not condemning lazy people. I have a gym membership that I have used roughly a dozen times in the last two years. IMO, the best part about today is that tomorrow there will be cheap chicken at popeyes.

For reasons I will not state, I promise I would not be surprised in the least. And I only did whipits once, I am sure my brain has recovered since. And I would wager that I killed many more brain cells in life guard cert training that with whipits.

OK so two things here:
1. you have basically agreed with what I said.
and
2. Its been 20 years since I graduated high school (yes I have been out of high school longer than some of you on here have been alive!). High school kids ARE NOT what I am basing my comments on. I am basing them on responsible adults who are mature enough to make smart decisions.

whipits are not carbon dioxide, it's nitrous. like those balloons you see people inhaling after shows / at a festival / or from an unshaken ready-whip can.
your lack of experience with NO NO WORD!!! and alcohol leave you quite ignorant on the subject. in some cases, that's a good thing (for instance, im ignorant on how heroin might affect me) but in others..
tell you what, if you want to know what its like to be really drunk, ask Druid.
really corned - well, throw a stone. you will probably hit someone on here who can give you the deetz.
and like others have said, in the "real world" you would be shocked at the number of midnight tokers out there. in my office alone, its probably ~20%. (and no, i do not work at a dispensary or art studio).
somehow, despite nomming on a cob from time to time, i have managed to become a manager in my company, pay of my car 3 years early, pay off a second mortgage early, have no cc debt, get to the gym 5 or 6 times a week, and have a reasonably active social life. shocking!

I find it funny that fake hippies and stoners celebrate their ability to kill brain cells on Hitler's birthday. This ignorance reassures me that I am not missing out on anything by remaining sober.
I find it funny that some people must try and ruin a good time for anybody who wants to have some fun. Do you go into the Happy St Patrick's Day thread and tell us we are lazy-no-good-unproductive-members of socitey because we drink ETOH? How do you have an awesome points? Well now you do not.
LOL, here we go... Pot is certainly not healthy, but there are plenty of worse things out there...
...By the way, you would be suprised to know exactly what does kill brain cells... loud music, junk food, sleep deprivation, stress, lack of exercise, tobacco use... the list goes on and on.
Jhammett, just so you know, Marijuana does not kill brain cells, Whippets(NO2), now that kills brain cells. Lack of exercise, does not kill brain cells. I am sure Steven Hawking has never done a pull-up or a push-up or jumped-a-rope, but his brains seems to work pretty well. Tobacco kills brain cells? IDK, The smoking and carcinogens cause lung cancer, but I am sure a lot of smart people smoke cigarettes. Loud music? it destroys your ear drum, not brain cells and stress does damage to your body, but does not kill brain cells? What do you get your facts from? Do you just make stuff up and throw it against the wall and see what sticks? I have read where people call you an idiot and now I see why. I bet your mom was a drinker and probably was a drinking when she was pregnant with you. Because alcohol, a legal drug, does kill brain cells and you liver and others organs. And yes, too much CO2 also kills brain cells. That is what we exhale when we breath, not what we inhale from a "Ready Whip" can. Which reminds me... Now everybody, Roll it, fire it up, smoke it up, inhale,exhale.
I don't know why they choose Hitler's birthday to celebrate, but you know, there are 364 other days in the year, why not choose a day that doesn't coincide with the birth of a man responsible for mass genocide?
hahaha you say it like smokers got together at a convention and said "you know what? I think it would be a marvelous idea if we all smoked copious amounts of chronic on Hitler's birthday"
I've heard probably a 100 different explanations on why the number 420 has meaning amongst smokers and none of them have to do with Hitler. It's merely coincidence that it falls on his birthday and I can assure you Hitler will likely be the last person most people think of when they're toking up today.
"Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about"
Scrogg, I would be more bothered by your post, but I can't see it any more...
I couldn't care less about awesome points. They are a number that exists on a website. I'm not trying to win a popularity contest
There is scientific evidence to support everything I said about killing brain cells, and I would post some of this evidence, but now that I don't have to read your posts, I don't see the point.
My mother did not drink or do drugs while pregnant with me. However, I did have a very complicated birth, and my umbilical cord ended up wrapped around my neck several times. As a result, I am legally blind in one eye. My brain works just fine though... I have a tested IQ of 151 (IQ test given by a Therapist in 2001)
However, I do want you to know that I think you are a peice of shit for making fun of people with mental and physical handicaps that are beyond their control. I know you will claim that I never did this, but calling me an idiot, then suggesting that stupid because of fetal alcohol syndrome is a pretty clear example of you doing this, atleast in my opinion.
To add the old perspective let me share this...I was diagnosed with cancer almost 5 years ago and the people who volunteered to get me herb to "help with nausea" was insane. My librarian, "good churchgoing folk", colleagues and one cop. And I've been out of high school for 26 years
If it were legal it wouldn't really change the people who use, it would just make them not have to worry about going to prison!
PS - The last toke I took was at the Avett's last year, thanks Tyler, where I then proceeded to lose both of the beers that I brought with me! That's why some of us shouldn't smoke

nah. the rheseus monkey test that supposedly proved marijuana kills braincells has been debunked. the scientist running the test pumped smoke into the rhesus monkeys for 5minutes at a time for 3 months, basically suffocating the monkeys. Oxygen depletion kills brain cells and can be aggravated by smoke, but marijuana does not inherently kill brain cells. there are multiple health benefits from its use
There is scientific evidence to support everything I said about killing brain cells,
No there's not!
I do whole heartedly agree with you on people who make fun of others with disabilities.
I am sorry you had issues at birth that affected your sight. My son had some serious issues at birth as well and did not breathe well when he was born. He spent his first week of life in a bubble at the hospital and has dealt with asthma and breathing issues all his life. (He will be 18 in June BTW)

im guessing you are in your 20's.
it's great you have such a high IQ. I don't know what mine is, but I have a 10 inch schlong and the body of adonis.
ultimately, im trying to figure out your point about brain cells? a lot of things kill them. there are trade-offs in life. If you die without at least trying a few of those things... you probably missed a few great experiences.
