im going all over europe this summer and i'm definitely hitting up amsterdam.

the green isnt as good in amsterdam as it is in australia, but it is much easier to get there

[krastian]

I have a few friends that flew over to Amsterdam to be judges in the Cannabis Cup or whatever a few years back.

[Cantankerous]

sounds like fun

most people do not have a very good high' the first time, nor are they smoking good weed. hell to the fuck yeah you can hit that high again and again and again an again

just chill and smoke every weekend instead of every day.

i got so fucked up the first time i ever smoked weed, probably because i knew how to inhale properly though.

[Rob Instigator]

that's the trick.

first time i smoked I did not know to cover up the "carb on the bong! (I was 18 BTW)

[finding nobody]

I fell in love with reefer sometime early last summer. Haven't gone more than 2 days without smoking since then, until just recently. I had the idea to stay completely clean from April 1st to the 19th. But on the 20th... You godamn better beleive it's going down.

[Trasher02]

Excuse me while I light my spilff. AAAAH HA HA HA

But seriously? I don't care what you do. Like, do whatever you want.

the system has you that scared eh? remember, people said the same thing about going against the Crown in the 1770s, and against slavery in the 1850s, and against Reconstructionists in the 1870s, and against the Progressivists of the 1910s, and against Jim Crowe in the 1950s, and against feminism in the 1970s, and now against world development and globalization in the 21st century.

gimme a worthy cause and i'll fight for it. getting stoned isn't worth it for me. and i have no problem with development and globalization-- coming from a third-world country, i really like development, science, technology, vaccines, drinking water & sewage, ample crops, transportation, telephones, the internet, epidemic control, refrigeration, etc. rejecting development is a bohemian fantasy only rich fools can indulge. you want to keep us in the neanderthal age so you can have ecotourism and look at the natives being all "spiritual", eh?

I didn't say reject development, I was referring to the problems associated with globalization in the name of development, such as massive debt, arms races/proxy wars, foreign sponsered dictatorships, corporate dumping, toxic pollution in total disregard for people and the environment, self-destructive agricultural policies based upon triangle trade and cash crops [like soy and corn for animal feed or the biofuel crisis in food prices], human traficking etc etc... but that is not the issue nor the point. the point is this, we live in a country where a 15 year old girl can go have a surgical abortion under her own volition, despite the fact that that same girl might need her parents' legal consent for a surgeon to perform life saving surgery, and yet, I, a kind-hearted, socially conscious and sincerely cordial adult can not grow, possess or consume a plant which literally MILLIONS of people us everyday. it is ridiculous. I dont expect you to smoke cuz its cool or something, I just wish that more people would be less accepting of the bullshit laws of this country simply because they do not directly affect them. that is why I brought up the other issues, such as the American revolution [vs the loyalist], abolition [vs the slavocracy], post-civil war reconstruction [vs confederate revival],civil rights movt [vs pro-segregation racist], in all of these times, there were plenty of people who were not affected, and yet it was critical that there be unanamous public support. You dont have to smoke pot my friend, but in order to keep people out of jail and off probation and out of the gutter, we as Americans should all mutually respect the right to grow, possess and consume cannabis.

[atsonicpark]

I just don't see what the big deal is either way, honestly. Pot's a waste of money and a waste of time. On the other hand, it's not that big of a deal. It's certainly safer than anything else, alcohol/pills or otherwise. So, if you do it, cool. If you don't do it, cool. I kind of take that stance with it.. If it's around, that's great. If it's not, that sucks. You know? I don't see how people become "users" or even "non-users". I've never been like "Man, I want to get stoned right now!" At the same time, I haven't been like, "Getting stoned sucks!" You see what I'm saying? No reason to quit, no reason to start.

[!@#$%!]

well mr. no-paragraph, go fight your weed wars then. we'll watch you on tv.

i think we'll get to the point where weed is legal in this country, no point in "fucking the laws" and risking prison when i can just wait for public opinion to turn around and join the more progressive states. california will have it, the northwest will have it, then the rednecks will have to join. in the meantime i'll take my vacation in vancouver, thanks.

your "fuck the laws" (you mean the cops) attitude will get you fucked, and unless you have something to gain from it you're just a fool. sorry, but you're no rosa parks.

get your strategy together instead of trying to live by RATM lyrics-- I like RATM but it's a fiction. the only people who have effected social change in our time are those who get organized and use their wits.

its only a waste of money or time because of the social construction of cannabis use and economy under prohibition. if it were not so restricted, then it might not cost so much money. the issue is not to promote cannabis use in general, but rather to promote the end of its prohibition legally and socially. America is such a repressive society even, surprisingly, the religious fanatacisim of this country persecutes what is of little objection under the religious fanatacisim of its "ideological" enemy of the present epoch.

yes you are correct, except that i don't understand your last sentence.

for the part i understand, we only differ in our response to it. you wanna rage agaisnt the machine, i'll just wait until the machine changes, because it will, without the need for me to go to prison.
