Come on "thechive" why you gotta spam Digg? I know when I go to Digg I am looking for the most cutting edge humor and comedy. If I wanted recycled Jay Leno jokes, I'd go to reddit (or thechive).

See, I have this thing called "facts" on my side. You can use Google and peer reviewed scientific journals to confirm what I say. The 1920s called, they want their meme back.

It's illegal for me to smoke a joint in my basement by myself. You're throwing all sorts of hypothetical BS in there that doesn't belong. As for the urban myth of the "contact high' it's just that, an urban myth. The concentration in PPM of THC in exhailed air is so low there is no way you'd get high from it. Let alone once it diffuses into a room. Not to mention people don't really smoke in public. Your argument is falling apart! Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

On top if that instead of something you can grow yourself, you have to spend huge bucks to a pharmacutical comapny for something that literally grows as a weed! Common sense is not your strong suit.

I wish I was watching TV right now instead of arguing with idiots, but I'm not addicted to TV.

I suppose we should just trust you over scientists who research these things for a living?

If you're dependant on something it's because it is physically addictive. Marijuana is not physically addictive. People do it because they enjoy it. There is no dependance.

Drinking a 1/5 of vodka will kill your ambition as well, yet that's legal. As for me, I get more done when smoking, without a joint I am depressed and will sleep the whole day.

I moved to a state that regonizes that Marijuana has a medicinal benifit. I donate my product to local organizations that then make sure it finds its way into the hands of those who can benifit from it. Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:35:20 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Iowa-Bans-Sale-of-K2-Synthetic-Marijuana-98914969.html#IDComment87889140 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Iowa-Bans-Sale-of-K2-Synthetic-Marijuana-98914969.html#IDComment87887480 Neither pot, nor K2 (or the new K3 to get around the FUD spread across the nation) causes any of those things. Pot causes a sence of relaxation and what is felt or described as an "opening of the mind". If you're in pain, or under stress, use of Marijuana causes a temporary sense of relief from those symptoms. It also causes people to get an appitite, something that is important when they are undergoing a treatment which causes them to *not* have an appetite. K2 (and K3) just cause a mild headache. For anyone who thinks that marijuana makes people go out and commit .r.a.p.e, or any of the other BS accusations thrown by the government, you have bought the propaganda. Dr. X's prescription? A joint and I am guessing you'll realize that a lot of what you've been spoon-fed is a lie. Please excuse any errors in my writing, as I just polished off an 1/8th this morning.

Some people enjoy the sense of calm and relaxation that comes with smoking a joint. So I don't find it hard to believe, that people would try to find another way to simulate that expierence. You could use your argument on so many things. For instance, people who lift weights enjoy the feeling they get while doing that. They're so "addicted" that when they travel they put weight rooms in hotels so these "addicts" don't start "jonsing". You would do well to learn the difference between something that is physically adictive, and something that is enjoyable.

In the words of John Stossel, "Give me a break." This just shows the pharmacy board is a bunch of old fogies who have no intention of letting people suffering in their final months get medicine which can drastically increase their quality of life. All the while, these same people are gladly handing out prescrptions for drugs which are hundreds of times more deadly than smoking a joint. It's time for the pharamcy board to go. K2 is a joke anyway, it doesn't get you high. We're supposed to believe the governemnt that it causes "anxiety, hallucination and seizures" when they say the same thing about pot, and we know that's a lie. But, the government is completely happy to sell you their "sanctioned drug" which is booze. How many thousands of people die every year due to booze? Yet that's continued to be sold at every corner gas station. Yet pot which is one of the safest intoxicants known to man-kind, is cla-s-sified as a schedule I drug.

Actually the republican governors are running on a platform of banning it. My suggestion was to get them to agree to a constitutional amendment for gay marriage and in turn give them their little "Enzite Law", let them thin the herd a bit and then repeal it. With the death toll of that many nuts packin heat we'd get the republican numbers down by 50% in a weekend.

Gee, that wasn't complicated was it. Read some REAL media and you'll see it happens all the time..

All you have is some wild speculation... "Oh trust me it will never happen, because it's illegal!"

Plenty of room for that pea-brain of yours to rattle around in there, it's like a football in a stadium -- what with that over sized fat head of yours.... Lawrance.

Nope? Then I don't see how you can say that it's never happened. It might have, in fact I'd say it's likely, that many people with "little man syndrome" out there packing heat, something is bound to happen.
