If only Pot killed every pot head, it would be well worth making it legal.

This seems like as good a place as any to ask: If secretly changing your display name to "Weedfrau Queen of the Cheetos" makes me smile, should I not regret doing it? Just askin'.  |

You should not! In fact, I insist that you change it immediately!  |

You should not! In fact, I insist that you change it immediately! Oh not now. I'll bide my time. Wait until you become embroiled in a cutthroat debate sometime in the future. You'll have just delivered the perfect zinger and decimated your opponent's credibility. Your foe will be desperate, struggling to regain his footing, lobbing feeble ad hominems as you close in for the kill. But then, a light! A gift! In an instant, you're no longer the respectable "Beerwench EE Ambassador" but instead "Weedfrau Queen of the Cheetos". "Your arguments are so bad, I figured you had to be high," your opponent quips, seizing the opportunity. The board explodes into laughter. No! Your mind cries. The crowd is turning against me.
"Are you insinuating that I smoke marijana?" You type, in your haste forgetting to put the 'u' in 'marijuana'. Too late. The post has gone out. "You can't even spell!" Your opponent exclaims, and the crowd's roaring laughter becomes deafening. Who is this clown? Who is this self-admitted stoner who only minutes earlier was poised for victory? Rome has fallen. The great city has fallen. Beerwench has fallen. Crushed by shame, you flee into the hinterlands of YMOT, never to be seen again. All that remains is a legend, a vague cautionary tale. |

I remember the beerwench of yore from way back when I first met her during an EE visit to Market talk at MSN. I'm stunned by the descent into drug use.

Well, that was disappointing. I thought it was going to be a really freaky sadistic clown  |

From one study that said it may have contributed to the death of two people with serious underlying health risks? Good luck with that. We can still say all of the following: There has never been a single documented case of marijuana being responsible for a death in the US. There has never been a single documented case of marijuana being directly or solely responsible for a death anywhere. More people are killed annually by being struck by lightning in just the US than all the known deaths where marijuana may have played a part worldwide in the last fifty years combined. Marijuana alone has never been proven to have killed anyone. Ever. Like I say: I can wait. Baby steps. i see. you are HOPING that pot will be shown to be the procuring cause, to help justify your position. not very scientific, are you? |

I wonder though. How many hash brownies would a baby have to eat? More than it could probably. Interesting question- what happens when you are high and have the munchies and all you have to eat are pot brownies, pot cola, pot candy? Bet that would be one hell of a ride.  |

I technically don't have a 'position'. I don't approve of smoking marijuana recreationally, but my opposition has nothing to do with whether or not it can kill you. You might say I'm frustrated with the mythos that sprung up around the drug. It seems to always be viewed in the extremes: one side considering it a plague on humanity, and the other side considering it a wonder drug that cures all ills, enhances perception, and has no long-term consequences. Both positions are horse manure. There are milestones in dispelling the "plague on humanity" myth. There are also milestones in dispelling the "perfect wonder drug" myth, with the OP being one of them. A simple acknowledgement that marijuana use can exacerbate a heart condition and trigger a fatal incident. I happen to believe that many more milestones deconstructing the "wonder drug" myth are yet to come, especially now that research can accumulate (legally) for larger populations over longer periods of time. My statement "I can wait." means I can wait for those milestones to arrive in their own good time. If people want to get intoxicated, it's no skin off my nose.  |

Virgil, not only have I seen that in real life, I have seen it unclothed. They hang down to the waist but are still perky. People should not go into the water with saggy chests. Crabs could attack them. |

I don't approve of smoking marijuana recreationally, but my opposition has nothing to do with whether or not it can kill you. i can't remember: do you object to ALL recreational drugs, or just ones that are "illegal"?You might say I'm frustrated with the mythos that sprung up around the drug. It seems to always be viewed in the extremes: one side considering it a plague on humanity, and the other side considering it a wonder drug that cures all ills, enhances perception, and has no long-term consequences. Both positions are horse manure. i totally agree. but i have never made either claim.There are milestones in dispelling the "plague on humanity" myth. There are also milestones in dispelling the "perfect wonder drug" myth, with the OP being one of them. A simple acknowledgement that marijuana use can exacerbate a heart condition and trigger a fatal incident. sure. so can sex. the point is that MJ has SIGNIFICANTLY lower health risks than, ie, ASPIRIN.I happen to believe that many more milestones deconstructing the "wonder drug" myth are yet to come, especially now that research can accumulate (legally) for larger populations over longer periods of time. My statement "I can wait." means I can wait for those milestones to arrive in their own good time. If people want to get intoxicated, it's no skin off my nose. i am not making a case for it being a "wonder drug". my case is that it is largely benign, and unworthy of Class 1 narcotic status. |

If people want to get intoxicated, it's no skin off my nose. i would bet significant money that no evidence of this will ever emerge on this subject (don't think i am just blindly saying this- i have good reason to believe it), but forever is too long to wait to collect on the bet.  |

Bet that would be one hell of a ride. brownies & the lollipops have the best flavor. I wasn't a fan of the mini-pies, too sweet. and it's an incredibly mellow giggle filled ride. |

you should smoke a bowl. Might make you less....ummmm...anal & condemning of those you don't agree with or just don't understand. it's okay to be different. In fact, it can be fun. And fun is WAY better than always spouting blahblahblahblahblah down on others.

If they drove while on pot, they might go slow enough that you could get out of their way. Although, they'd cause unending wrecks trying to merge on the interstate going 5 mph. |

I was a bartender who didn't drink. Apparently, the only one the owner had ever met. I've never had to break up a fight between stoners, but was always dealing with breaking up stupid drunk fights. |

Cast iron pot has killed more than one with a knock to the head.

She would have used the double-handed swing if she wanted to kill him.

If they drove while on pot, they might go slow enough that you could get out of their way. Although, they'd cause unending wrecks trying to merge on the interstate going 5 mph. I got pulled over after a doobie for going too slow. Just a warning. I drove on acid and mushrooms (not at the same time) however and got away fine  Word of advice- do not drive on acid or shrooms. But weed? A cellphone is more dangerous to a driver. Don't ever recall looking down at some display when I was burning one- but I do remember some shithead in a BMW that I avoided crashing into because he was on a phone. |

To explain I was coming through an intersection- for the locals it was Perkins/Poplar I think- by the Wendy's- I had a green light and this shitbag blasted through a merge lane and I had to swerve and locked up the brakes and he had a phone in hand. I remember thinking I should have just nailed the guy.
Mr. Tenn should know the area- I was leaving the Half Shell. Maybe Mendenhall?
