4.20

[King James]

Yes, bills > green.

I take care of everything financially for myself, with still enough to get supplies.

Right now the only thing I owe is $200 to my CC company, that'll be taken care of in two weeks. I try not to worry about it, and still have realistic grown up goals of paying shit off. I find that if youre a responsible person overall, it doesn't matter if you puff or not. And if you do, normally you should be able to handle it. The responsibilities, that is.

exactly....Ill admit there was a time in my life (college) where Id rather get high than do anything else....tho there were other contributing factors that made me want to get high...but thats beside the point....since then I learned that there are more important things and owning a house...having a family...being mature is more important than being high all the time.

Tho when you got the extra cash why not....I dont see why its illegal....I just watch a documentary the other day on mexican drug lords....I dont want to get into an argument but why put the money in their hands when it can be used closer to home.

whatever. Just let the blind sheeps believe what they want. Those with ANY knowledge on the subject agree that it is perhaps the least harmful "drug" known to mankind.

I've recently been having a lot of dental work done, and was prescribed 800 mg ibuprofen. I didn't fill the prescription because I'm afraid of pills. I did, however, find myself in enough pain to eat abou 600 mg worth of advil (ibuprofen) a couple times a day (when the pain was unbearable). After about 2 weeks of that, my stomach was KILLING me.

ibuprofen, highly regarded as one of the safest OTC meds on the market, can cause ulcers and kidney failure. I felt as if I had the beginning stages of an ulcer.

after 10+ years of smoking pot daily, I experienced NO physical ailments as a result of it.

as for the "lazy stoner" angle of it... I managed to get exemplory grades in college while smoking daily. Laziness is most definitely in one's personality without the intervention on cannabis.

Agreed.

I know PLENTY of functioning potheads.

[King James]

Phempa....your a cool dude haha....I knew that before....but just wanted to reiterate lol

Couldn't have worded it better myself! People who do no smoke pot are typically very snobby and ignorant on the subject.

But regardless I've been baked since last night and will continue until midnight. Happy burning, everyone.

Of course youll have adverse effects after a solid two weeks. I figured someone so "drug-conscious" would have seen that coming and/or..you know..NOT done that. Was your shit just not healing or what? When I had my wisdom teeth out I was prescribed some vikes and I was in enough pain to take them for a whopping three days. Past that it was entirely bearable. Either way, two weeks of pain killers isnt smart, especially when your body isnt used to it.

Im not trying to be a big anti-drug asshole on 420. On the contrary, I personally dont see why weed is illegal. Im just tired of hearing everyone that smokes it shouting about how perfect and wonderful it is.

[GhostAccord]

You've been misinformed. There are NO chemicals in cannabis. It's completely natural.

There are well over 100 chemical compounds found in the different strains of Cannabis. Approx. 66 of those are cannabinoids, including THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (Cannabidiol) and CBN (Cannabinol). These are three of the more dominant psychoactive chemical compounds found in POT.

Happy 4:20 all. If you smoke it maybe today would be a good day for you to learn something about what it is that you are smoking.

I will agree that marijuana is one of the least harmful drugs in it's natural state. However I disagree with some of the altered crap that kids are buying off the street these days. Some of it has been bread to completely remove the dulling compounds and up the THC content, this has been found to cause some rather unfortunate side effects.

If you've ever had a joint that makes you hyper and makes you feel a bit of anxiety you'll know what I'm talking about. This isn't your grandfathers pot that would make you sit on the couch and get the munchies. It's hard on the old ticker.

[Phempa]

you're hearing about it in abundance on ONE day of the year.

4/20


oh, and I should've added in my post, I didnt take a consistent amount of ibuprofen each day. I would stretch it and bear with the pain as long as possible. skipped a day here and there.

it only took about 5 days of 1200mg days (not consecutive) to start fuckin' with my stomach. I told my dentist about the pain and how I didnt like ibuprofen, let along pills, and he asks "do you want something stronger for the pain?" instantly I was like "NO!!!"

I really have a strong distaste for phamaceutical meds.

[Tippey764]

Ah, c'mon, dont say that.

Yes say that. I fucking hate weed and all the people who think their cool for doing it. Its a waste of money for a tempoary high thats all it is.

Out of all the 366 possible days to have my birthday on i managed to get april 20th. I would rather have 9/11 as my birthday then today.

[texasvtak]

I live in a college town. Its not one day of the year here

[Tippey764]

Im Just Tired Of Hearing Everyone That Smokes It Shouting About How Perfect And Wonderful It Is.

Exactly!!!!

[DJ metadelic]

I don't like those kinds of meds either, natural, holistic/herbal health for me.

No but in all seriousness.

Besides the green, I think everyone should try using homeopathics before otc's.

anyway, yeah, 4/20 just exposes what most who celebrate 4/20 do on a daily basis. so it's really no big deal

and tip, not all of us think we're cool for doing it. i think that's how i started. but now i know i'm not cool because of it. i do it because i love it, i hear ya on the money part; but ultimately it's our decision as individuals.
