So get some exercise and stop thinking about it then. I mean what is your actual profession?

not that i am particularly defending this guy... but smoking copious amounts of pot doesnt ruin peoples lives. its actually notably less harmful than both alchohol and cigarettes (your government even agrees), one of which i know your a fan of. i am a user myself and like many others live a very healthy life, with a lovely lady, and a white collar job (engineer). i plan on seeing much more than my 60th birthday.

no offense to you jackhammer, i know this guy 'ruins threads', but we could all use a little less misinformation about pot being the root of all evil.

jackhammer's post was clearly sardonic.

joyboyo53 · 10-16-2008, 06:58 PM

its the second one he has made in that nature towards pot, nice choice of vocabulary though.

Pot is not the root of all evil. Far from it but if someone is suffering ill health in their life and is using pot as a big part of it then maybe they need to lay off it. Simple as that. If they smoked, drank, did pot and acid then I would have been predujiced singling out a particular vice but as he has many health problems, maybe it would be advisable to eliminate a practice that is not always condusive to the human condition.

Robert Lanham's satirical The Hipster Handbook described hipsters as young people with "...mop-top haircuts, swinging retro pocketbooks, talking on cell phones, smoking European cigarettes, ... strutting in platform shoes with a biography of Che Guevara sticking out of their bags."[6]

Hipsters are considered apathetic, pretentious, and self-entitled by other, often marginalized sectors of society they live amongst, including previous generations of bohemian and/or "counter-culture" artists and thinkers as well as poor neighborhoods of color.

Thanks man!

I agree. I make comments like that from time to time, merely suggesting that pot isnt good for you, but potheads wig out. They seem to think that because it isn't as bad as booze or butts, that they should be free from criticism.

And as far as it not being as bad as cigarettes...if you smoke weed every day thats at least as bad as cigarettes...the reason why its considered not as bad is the addictive factor.
