I smoke weed when I fish sometimes because I am a bad person.  I dont care about anybody else, so I try to find ways to disturb you all.  I think once I may have even said a naughty word! 

Listen you puritans, the world would be a much better place if you didnt impose your morals on those around you.  And no, its not hypocritical to say this, im not trying to tell you to smoke, just let me live my life how i want to live it. 

1. Its a personal choice. 
2. Nobody is going to get stoned standing next to somebody else. 
3. If there are yelling, violent people, they are most likely drunk or like that all the time anyways.

Stop being afraid of people.  Nobody is going to hurt you.  Take a deep breath and just ask whoever is smoking weed two feet from you if they mind just stepping a couple meters away so the smoke doesnt blow in your face.  If it was me you asked, I'd be apologetic and gladly give you some space.  So just relax, we may as well try to get along in this world, there is enough conflict already and it isnt caused by marijuana!

"People don't realize how many car accidents are now atributed to pot smoking and driving.. catching up to alcohol related crashes."

Really? This is the first mention I have heard of this 'problem', please quote some official statistics, or are you just pulling this out of thin air?

Try some google searches. Actually you get quite a variety of perspectives, some even say it enhances your ability to drive lol.. but anything slowing down reaction speed and motor skills, as well as the ability to maintain focus does affect ones ability to drive. I read a statistic from the US that showed drivers from acidents among teenagers were almost as often high from pot as drunk.

  Sure I am aware of the increased heartrate/bloodpressure etc...guess what...exercising increases heartrate and bloodpressure.

So if I just smoked more dope, I could finally drop the last ten pounds to achieve my ideal weight?

Some people here for and against the weed make some very good points, then you have those less informed individuals (like me) who post comments that make no sense.(not like me) So in conclusion if everone could be a little like me, and a little bit not like me we could find a happy medium.

Sounds like you are already in a "happy medium", All Tangled Up.

Good point here marmot!

thanks, CJ, it seems like people these days would rather complain about things and be angry inside rather than just ask politely for a little courtesy.  Most pot smokers, IMO, would gladly oblige. 

As for the driving on pot discussion....thats just stupid.  I'd agree that its probably not as dangerous as driving drunk, but still, why put other people at risk...?  Wait until youre straight to drive, its common sense.  Argue this and you've probably either smoked and drank too many brain cells away or you werent born with enough to begin with.

Never had, and never will smoke that stuff. My brother tokes for 2! Just thought I would try to be a little funny in my post. My brother being one of the heaviest users around would gladly step aside if the air you breathe was being offended by his habit. Just ask and you shall receive.

nice to see nothin's changed this past year..... might as well put in my 2 cents.

if pot is strong enough to ease the pain of a terminally ill person, it obviously has potency, it may not be as strong as valume or morphine,  but to say its harmless to use while on the river, is naive...if not irresponsible.
 
if you want to toke up that's your perogative, especially outdoors...good on ya.  but to do it in 'an already dangerous environment' is just plain stupid.  i've watched guys get stoned while fishing. their reaction and movement becomes almost hesitant. although i'm sure they would deny it.

....and just so that i don't come across as bias, i too use be a smoker (18 yrs 1 1/2 pks a day). and as much as i hate to admit it i was also a 'user' for almost 10 yrs.

i stopped because nothing good came out of it.
