the only time ive ever been "high"was my first dip of copenhagen

I wonder how much tax money the government is getting off this stuff....

I wonder if it is as much as they get off the sale of alcohol?
Not anywhere close. These "products" have no additional taxes added to them like alcohol or tobacco

And to think, naturally grown marijuana that is far less potent and dangerous to the body is known as the devil's weed....lol.

Kids are going to do stuff, legal or not. I did it and most here did too even though most here won't admit it.

Do we blame the makers of alcohol when people die in DWI related wrecks?

Don't blame the product or the producers, but more the buyer and user. This one you have to blame the producers and sellers. These products are made speciffically to target users and get around federal regulatsions. Here in Clarksville, you will find them in very few "corner markets". These markets are in the low income, high drug use areas.Without a market, these products go away....

Raise your kids right and hopefully they will not do these things. The ones that do get in to these sort of things will find something else if these type products are not available, like YOUR liquor cabinet.

Sad thing, but true.

Since marijuana is a gateway drug to others, I'm not for making it legal and I can tell BH that I have never tried it. Too easy to get beer where I grew up near the beach...

alcohol is THE gateway drug.

It does not depend on the drug, just the personality.

The alcoholic was once a casual drinker, just as the dope head was once the casual weed smoker....casual as in weekends and parties.

I know plenty of alcoholics that say they never did weed or anything other than alcohol.

I know weed smokers that do nothing else, not even the occasional beer or glass of wine.

I know people that smoke a bit of weed every day after work to take the edge off the day, just like the guy that has a drink every day after work when he gets home, before he eats supper.

Nothing wrong with either, imo.

Just as some people are allergic to some things that others are not, some people have highly addictive personalities and others are not. They will get addicted to whatever they have access to. It's just in their nature.

Just because one is legal and the other is not, makes no difference....BOTH are addictive drugs, when in the wrong hands.

Blaming the drug and not the user is simply human nature.....

We all want to blame the other guy.....but the hard truth is that no one makes you buy or use anything. It is your choice.

I've done quite a few different kind of drugs during my experimental years and came to know what each and every one does to you. I had the sense to know which ones I didn't need to be around simply because I liked them too much.

I stuck with beer and weed. I've sense quit both and do not miss either in my life. If I had to choose one to go back to it would be weed (if made legal) because it does far less damage to your body than alcohol and it never gave me any form of a hangover and is really cheap when you are a casual user....

I will say this about weed. I never spent my last dime on weed, but I did on beer. I have written post-dated checks to buy beer midweek or charged beer until I got paid friday. I never did that with weed and could have. I guess that tells you which one I liked the best, or at least the one that had me more addicted...

It's just something about a cold beer after a hot day's work...And the only thing that beats a cold beer is twelve cold beers!

Now, I prefer ice water or a good gatorade..lol.
