re: Houston = Sanctuary for Dope Smokers

Yeah but I know a guy or two that smokes weed and are successful and have a lot of money so that must mean all weed smokers are successful and have a lot of money

Or maybe winners are winners and losers are losers and weed has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Now ... if you don't like the law(s) ... then change them.

why should a city the size of Houston not be able to selectively enforce what they deem important. Clearly the elected officials aren't scared they will lose their seat over this so there is support within their constituents

I know, right? Just like the successful people with a lot of money who also drink booze and gamble.

Hmm, I wonder what % of those successful people with a lot of money do that stuff in moderation, or only occasionally, and not everyday?

They are worthless wastes of life

Damn brah. I smoke and am a middle class Trump voter.

I don't care if someone wants to partake for the occasional special occasion, but chronic users are worthless. They do stupid stuff and are okay with being stupid. They cause work accidents, are non-productive and form a societal cliche of other loosers like themselves.

I do, however, see the benefit in decriminalization.

There's a difference between people who hit a bowl before they go into the office or smoke up during lunch and those who smoke daily after work-- you know just like there's a difference between having a glass of bourbon after you close out your work day and keeping a bottle in your desk to get you through said day.


The wake and bake people (who aren't on vacay, that's different just like a Bloody at 9:00 on Gameday isn't pouring a shot of Pappy into your morning coffee) aren't generally high achievers (though there are exceptions) but the after work smokers--especially in legal states-- are if anything more likely to be in high end jobs-- it balances Adderall for one thing.

I read an article a couple of weeks back by a teacher in Colorado saying this is exactly what is going on with her high school students. She said after lunch, classes have become pretty useless for "learning".

Those who smoke daily after work are just as stupid as the first group, only more cautious.

If you're 22 years old, not in school, working at Sonic, and smoking weed or wax almost every day, you're a worthless piece of shite and that's all you're ever going to be.

True. But replace weed with getting Trashed on Evan Williams or Mr. Boston or Everclear every night and the same thing is true.

That's the truth. I ran a very non-offical study at my high school but that was a direct correlation to being prescribed adderall and smoking weed.

At the time I thought it was cause of a relaxed attitudes towards drugs but really it was more about being able to come down and eat.
