this is similar to what I've been saying all along .....but potheads always deny the facts....speak to an alcoholic and they no they've got a problem 100% .......alcohol addiction is different from drug addiction. Drug addiction causes denial...due to chemical inbalance in the brain....these chemicals arnt increased or present during alcohol abuse, so the symptoms are different.

i wouldn't say all alcoholics know they have a problem. they go through denial as well. i have a friend who downs probably a 12 pack of MGDs a day, and won't admit that he has a problem. first thing in AA meetings? "hi i'm soandso and i have an addiction." sure they can admit it then, but it always takes them a while to attend the AA meetings

i also have friends that are potheads, and know they have a problem. hell, i have one friend who's been a pothead for two years, and quit about a month ago cold turkey. as far as i know he hasn't lit up since... i mean i could be wrong, but he still knows that he has a problem. i have several friends like that actually.. friends that have been through rehab, etc etc

anyway, the subject of this thread is weed. i dunno if i'll agree that bud causes permanent chemical imbalances in the brain. while you're trippin it does, but as far as long term effects? i have my doubts. other drugs, such as coke, heroine, meth, etc etc.. those i will agree cause chemical imbalances, and fuck up your mind longterm. but as i said: this concerns weed

i still stick to my previous statement, alcohol and weed effect differently people differently, such as all drugs.

".....but potheads always deny the facts....speak to an alcoholic and they no they've got a problem 100% "

- Cmon shanks, don't geralise...

I speak the truth... you know I do :D

No.
I'd agree in some cases, definately for BOTH.
Not in mine.
That's not a denial, it's a factual statement.

Lmao @ irregardless

...
 

"[Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.]

Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so."

:p

THANK YOU!!!!


Irregardless is in the dictionary to say that it is improper, much like Ain't.


"What pacifically are you talking about? Expecially Irregardless of it's inflamability. It doesnt take a nukular scientist to know you can read about foilage in a libary."


God i hate the speaking ability of the average human....

When it came to drugs, you saw pretty blatant racism in the press accounts and statements by elected officials. Back in the early 20th century, cocaine abuse became associated with blacks, who would supposedly go on rampages under the influence. Marijuana, in turn, was associated with Mexican immigrants as well as blacks. Opium was associated with Chinese immigrants. Racial fears were used by officials and pundits who called for prohibition against all these drugs. You know - "they'll ravage our white women", that sort of thing.

And them ravaging our women is a problem, because if they are ravaging them, we drunk white guys cant rape and beat them.

Funny how that works, eh?
