re: Kevin Faulk Drug Charge

quote:You do know that a majority of smokers never try harder drugs. You also have to realize that most people, especially older responsible adults do not smoke every single day. Just because you were a pothead on top of whatever else you were on and messed up your life doesn't mean that happens to most people.
Marijuana is destructive. It impairs judgment, memory, reasoning, coordination, and initiative and affects personality. It's addictive and can be a gateway to more dangerous drugs. It often coincides with poor job and school performance and can adversely effect relationships. Like it or not, that's just the way it is.
How do I know this? Because I used to do the stuff. Every.Single.Day. That was years ago, but I still live with some of the effects today, including health issues related to more serious drugs I did, and strained family relationships because of dumb things I did as a druggie. It took a real miracle of God to get me away from it.
I've heard all of the rationalizations; hell I've I probably invented a couple of them myself. I didn't come here looking to lecture or preach, but I could not be silent after reading some of these posts. Not everybody's situation is like mine obviously, and I hope it never is. But don't tell me marijuana is harmless. You may be fooling yourself, but you're not fooling me.
As for Kevin Faulk, I don't know his situation but I wish him the best, and if he has a problem, I'm confident he'll overcome it like the champion and the Tiger he is. That is all

And I guarantee you that people you associate with do smoke. Lots of them. Even Doctors!! Even your kids teachers! Gasp! Its way more common that you are thinking.
The large majority of my friends, business acquaintances, etc. do not smoke marijuana.
You are way overstating it...probably because you are young and smoke yourself.

Judgmental prick? We're talking about a guy who doesn't want to associate with people who use illegal drugs. Who doesn't want his doctor, accountant or child care provider to show the type of poor judgment to get themselves arrested. I'm sure we can all agree that marijuana use, by itself, isn't as bad as other drugs. But still, it is illegal. And if you use it, you might get arrested. Wouldn't you agree that is bad judgment? All for what? Getting high? Most have done it in the past but when you grow up, you put those things behind you. Or you should.
Perhaps in hindsight I was a bit harsh.

Can you read? I stated in this thread that I don't smoke, hate marijuana, and avoid my friends when they smoke. But I guess you don't like making posts with facts backing them up.

And there's no chance that they hide that from other people, specifically judgmental people?

Very small chance. Like I said, very large majority.

Alrighty then, I see we've hit a brick wall and you will not be rational at all. So goodbye to this thread.

I know WikiTiger personally, and I can promise you the guy does not smoke weed. Trust me. I've tried to get him too.
But he is right...I have numerous friends, at least a couple of which are bankers (making very good money) who smoke more than you could ever imagine.
It happens buddy. A lot. The only difference between the older folks who do it is they flaunt a lot less, so it's harder know if someone does it.

And personally, I don't have a problem at all with it being illegal. I certainly wouldn't / won't hire someone who smokes marijuana, certainly wouldn't want my doctor, attorney, financial advisor, etc. to be a smoker, and wouldn't want anyone who is a caretaker for my children (teacher, daycare worker, etc.) to be a smoker. In fact, I don't want to walk, drive, or sit next to anyone who is on marijuana.
Too bad oh high horse. There is a huge chance that you have already lost on all of those counts.
Well, mr. moral highground, I have personally seen judges on the federal bench, good republicans, smoking grass. I have seen Dr's, college presidents, and even members of congress smoke grass. People like you are truly dinosaurs. You actually believe all the reefer madness/cook and eat your kids on pot bullshite. Pathetic.

I will submit that if all you did was smoke grass then you would not be having problems. If you were, as you say, a "druggie" Then you most likely drank heavily and used coke or pills or ecstacy or a combination of some or all of them. Please spare us that "gateway" bs. The only reason pot is a "gateway" is that it is illegal. If it could be bought at 7-11 like cheap beer, you would not be coming into contact with those that sell coke and pills etc. UNLESS you wanted to be in contact with them.
Save your speeches for you next NA meeting or reunion of your rehab class.

That's pretty funny because you come across as a 50+ year old who still smokes pot.
Now I know why the law students were able to hand your arse to you in the legal discussions over the years.
It's so funny to see smokers be so adamant that everyone does it. You know you are ultra liberal when you can call people intolerant for not accepting drug users as doctors and child care providers.
Keep smoking dude.

What would the melt down be like if HESTER was arrested for possession of mary jane? I could imagine a number of fans on here defending him. "It was for his grandma's cataracts..."

Now you are getting truly delusional. You, sonny, are in no position to judge any kind of legal discussion. Kind of like you trying to speak in a rational, factual manner about marijuana. Do you even know the history of how it became illegal? Thought not. Look it up, sonnyboy. It was entirely based on race and "devil weed" bullshite. Read INDEPENDANT studies on grass. Not ones sponsored by different groups that will have a predetermined outcome for or against grass. Every independant study from the LaGuardia study in the 30s to the NIH in the 80s show grass is, aside from the hazards of smoking anything, not the "this is the same as heroin and crack" substance that the drug cops(who fear losing the money for "pot enforecement") and the drug testing industry(that rely on pot testing since it is the only drug that will stay in your system for more than 4 days or so) or the rehab folks (who will tell you that pot is worse than crystal meth) try to tell us it is.
Get the facts sonnyboy. Now, of course you will simply ignore them, but at least you will not be able to spout the 80 year old lies that people with brains are so tired of hearing without KNOWING that you are so. You know the tall tales I speak of, kids being eaten by pot smoking parents, kids growing antlers, men growing breasts from smoking grass, women becoming prostitutes to support the "pot habit" they develope after smoking a couple of joints. These are just a few of the bullshite lies that were presented as facts through the years that you support with your continued ignorance.

Man I always thought potheads were a much more calm group then this..
It's a sad time when just because someone has some morals that makes them the distructor of freedom and calling for another world war. I personally don't give 2 shits if you smoke a pound a day or a joint a week. If you get caught and get arrested then you deserve what you get. The penalty for a DWI is more harsh then the penalty for simple possesion and rightfully so but the DUI and DWI penalties are the same and rightfully so. Thats where the comparison between drunk driving and Smoking came into play moron. I truely don't give a shite what you say I've been around hundreds of potheads and lived with people who just smoked sometimes and for the most part they were the same. I'm not saying that you can't be a productive person and smoke but to say that isn't a harmful product is plain fricking stupid.
If you want to be the person that foots the bill for the potheads health care when they can't get a job and rely on medicare and public health care hospitals that you pay for go the frick ahead but as for me and my family I only want to support the people in my family. If you drink your life away the same goes for you. I've seen just as many people come home high and not remember how they got home as drunk people. If you think that's not dangerous then I hope that high person hits you on the road next to show you your ignorance.

Gmoney,
What you said made sense by the way.
Wiki,
Please tell your friends here stop making comparison to life altering times and history changing facts and say they are the same thing.
