How Important Is Marihuana To You?

[matt72582]

Since the alcohol topic drew sooooo much attention, why not this?

[Sexy Celebrity]

It's WAY better than alcohol.

[Derek Vinyard]

Can you put an option ''I Tried it and it's disgusting'' up here ?

[matt72582]

It seems like I can't edit. But your comment is pretty clear.

I also wanted to add "Somewhat important" - but I guess everyone can explain further.

[gbgoodies]

I never tried it, and I never will, but shouldn't it be spelled "Marijuana"?

[matt72582]

The spelling of the "j" was to give it a racist connotation, making it a Spanish word. Anslinger's war on drugs...

Have you tried alcohol or any drugs? Is there a reason you wouldn't try grass?

Zing!

To answer the threads question it's not. I smoked it for about five years pretty regularly, mostly because friends did too i had some good times on it but i stopped in 2012 when i realized i wasn't getting much from it and haven't smoked it since. People still do it around me and offer me a draw of a joint, a bong (or a bucket haha) but i just never want it.

Worked well, I never think about white bros when I think about marihjuana.

I've tried alcohol. I just don't like it.

We always had all kinds of alcohol in the house when I was growing up, and my parents offered a small taste to me even when I was young. My college friends tried to get me to try everything from beer to wine coolers to exotic drinks. I heard the phrase "Try this, you can't taste the alcohol." over and over again. I just never liked the taste of any kind of alcohol.

I never had any interest in trying any kind of drugs. I guess my parents just raised me right. :D

You know alcohol is a drug, right?

[gbgoodies]

My rabbits eat alfalfa, timothy, lettuce, cabbage, and kale, not grass. (They also love raisins, cranberries, and papaya.)

[gbgoodies]

Have you tried chocolate milk?


Yes, I drink chocolate milk, strawberry milk, and banana milk. :)

[Citizen Rules]

GBG, you don't like coffee either if I remember right?

[Sexy Celebrity]

Is gbgoodies even alive?

[gbgoodies]

Yes, I know that, but I was referring to illegal drugs.

And before someone asks, I take aspirin when necessary too. :rolleyes:

[gbgoodies]

GBG, you don't like coffee either if I remember right?


Right. I hate both coffee and tea, including iced tea and long island iced tea.

[gbgoodies]

Sometimes even I wonder. :lol:

Baby Aspirin?

[Citizen Rules]

Right. I hate both coffee and tea, including iced tea and long island iced tea.How about Snaple?

[TONGO]

GBGs blood is so pure she could wash her clothes in it

[Sexy Celebrity]

Do you have any stories of, like, pharmacy nightmares? Bad stuff happening while picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy?

[gbgoodies]

Baby Aspirin?


Not since I was very young.

[gbgoodies]

How about Snaple?


It depends on the flavor. I drink some Snapple juices and drinks, but none of their iced teas.

[gbgoodies]

Do you have any stories of, like, pharmacy nightmares? Bad stuff happening while picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy?


Nothing that I was personally involved in, but years ago I worked two doors down from a pharmacy, and I was working the day a car drove through their front window and nearly killed an employee who was a friend of mine. (She was warned by a customer who was looking out the window at the time, and she jumped over the counter just in time to save her life.)

[CiCi]

I hate tea and coffee as well, but long island iced tea is simply divine :love:

[gbgoodies]

GBGs blood is so pure she could wash her clothes in it


It's probably laced with chocolate. That's my addiction. :D

[Citizen Rules]

What is Long Island Ice Tea? That's three times I've heard it mentioned here.

[CiCi]

Cocktail. It's coke mixed with rum, gin, some kind of syrup I think, and vodka! :D

[Captain Steel]

Long Island Iced Teas are not for the inexperienced drinker! (They contain a mix of 5 different alcohols!)

There's an episode of "The Big Bang Theory" where Penny gives Sheldon a Long Island Iced Tea, but doesn't tell him that it's got alcohol in it. He gets drunk and confronts Wil Wheaton.

You should watch that episode. It's hysterical. :lol:

[Captain Steel]

L.I. Iced Teas also tend to be particularly tasty and particularly potent. Since they are tasty, one might be more inclined to drink it faster or in greater quantities which can be quite disastrous considering the mix of strong alcohol they contain.

[CiCi]

It does sound lethal, but you honestly can't tell any alcohol is in it!

[Citizen Rules]

I remember Electric Ice Teas use to be popular. I don't think I ever had one. I one either go for beer usually or a Mai Tai.

I've never seen The Big Bang Theory...Wil Weaton? as in Wesley Crusher?

[Camo]

Yeah, Citizen Will Wheaton from Star Trek. He was one of the few decent things about that awful show (sorry gbg) IMO.

[Camo]

It does sound lethal, but you honestly can't tell any alcohol is in it!

I agree with this and i don't even really like Long Island Ice Tea. Also pretty sure gbg is from Long Island :D

[Captain Steel]

Exactly. That's why they're kind of dangerous and inexperienced drinkers might start gulping them down (only to find themselves falling-down drunk or vomiting later).

I didn't see the episode gbg mentioned, but that's probably why Sheldon drank it. They look like a regular Iced Tea and they even taste a little it.

When I worked in the restaurant it was one of my camouflage drinks that the bartenders would make for me when I was underage - because it looked just like regular Iced Tea. My other camouflage drink was Old Grandad (whiskey) and Ginger Ale - because it just looked like Ginger Ale! ;)

[CiCi]

Camo, I think it's because we're British, and our humour is a lot more blue and innuendo filled! Because I don't know a single person here who finds that show remotely funny, and I don't either. The only one I ever liked was the scavenger hunt episode, and even then some parts weren't tolerable :lol:

I also love "Sex on the Beach" which, if you're a lightweight like myself, is definitely more preferable :lol:

Went looking for this on YouTube.
As gbg said, it's pretty funny! And as we said, it exemplifies exactly what we were saying about L.I. Iced Teas based on the way Sheldon reacts when he first tastes it...

It's okay. We already know that you have lousy taste in movies, so why should your taste in TV shows be any better. :lol:

My ex GF loved the show that is the main reason i've watched so much of it (at least four seasons) despite not liking it or finding it funny at all.

Matt, Peep Show is great :up:.

I just wonder... does Sheldon puke later?

[Captain Steel]

Camo - it's funny, my father (who's 87) complains about the laugh track on BBT all the time! He keeps watching it, but has to point out how they use the same laugh tracks over & over and how they play the laugh track after almost every line! :D

[Miss Vicky]

I've never smoked marijuana myself, though I've gotten plenty of contact highs while attending concerts or hanging out with friends.

It's not important to me at all, but I do support its legalization (and not just for medical use, like it is here in California).

[Camo]

The proof is in the ratings. :D

Yeah cause the ratings are always right

Honey Boo Boo:

The series premiere episode attained a 1.6 rating in the 18–49 demographic, attracting 2.2 million viewers.[11] The series was one of TLC's highest-rated shows in its first season.[12] The August 29 episode, airing on Wednesday night during the 2012 Republican National Convention, attracted almost 3 million viewers and scored a 1.3 rating among 18- to 49-year-olds, the highest rating in that age group for any cable program that night,[13] though about 20 million in all were watching the convention. Fox News convention coverage was second in the time period with a 1.2 rating, followed by NBC coverage with 1.1.[14]

American Idol highest Nielsen Ratings six years in a row :D

Laugh tracks are very interesting from a sociological point of view. We tend to laugh when other people laugh, it's like a trigger. We may be convinced something is funny that we don't think is funny simply because the people around us start laughing. I think most of us would find most sit-coms quite different without the laugh track. I like when some shows used to be filmed in front of live studio audiences (for a more authentic feel as far as the reaction to the comedy went).

I also like when laugh tracks are made fun of - I remember a Monty Python skit where Michael Palin was a smarmy TV host and had a laugh-track / applause button - when he let it go, the laughing would stop so abruptly that it became hilarious in how it sounded.

[gbgoodies]

What episode/season is it?

Season 6, Episode 7 - The Habitation Configuration

Thanks :)

Laugh tracks don't actually bother me much. I've watched clips of some of my favourite sitcoms without laugh tracks (most of my favourite comedies don't have them though) and i still find them funny but The Big Bang Theory without the laugh track just shows how boring, lazy and awkward the comedy of that show is.

Jim Parsons is pretty atrocious in that scene and he's the only decent member of the main cast.

People still do it around me and offer me a draw of a joint, a bong (or a bucket haha) but i just never want it.

I didn't like it at first.. Even though I was the oldest teen in our group in the neighborhood, I never caved in to peer pressure. When I smoked the first few times, I didn't really feel anything, I'm sure it was more mind over matter.

But, I was smoking with regular smokers, and it was too much. I'd advise new smokers to take 1-2 puffs, and when you stop feeling something, take one more puff. When you are a regular user, you get diminishing returns, so there's no real incentive to keep smoking.

I smoked with a cousin who I loved hanging out with, a little reluctantly at times.

But then I met a girl who loves pot, but I was a light smoker then, but it was a part of our relationship. Sex, pot, and rock and roll.

If I didn't smoke grass, I'd smoke cigarettes. But grass also helps me sleep. The first two days in SF when I had none, I remember my body being so tired, but I felt wide awake. Third day, a friend I met from imdb, gave me his, and I slept fine. No hangover either. No one can die from smoking it, it's a plant.

It's even legal in North Korea!

[Sexy Celebrity]

I thought Sheldon was funny there. I find him hilarious, from what I've seen of the show.

Neither did i, i smoked weed before most of my friends. I think i kept smoking it because most of my friends were but that wasn't peer pressure, was more just a may as well attitude since it was there and i was being offered; haven't smoked it in four years now though basically as soon as i realized that was the case.

When you are a regular user, you get diminishing returns, so there's no real incentive to keep smoking.

My brother in law has smoked it since he was 11 (he's now 35) and rarely gets stoned from it now, still has to smoke it every day though.

Have you ever tried these Matt? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_bong

Just curious, that is how i usually smoked it (over here they get called "buckets"); when you don't get stoned from them like my brother in law you clearly have a problem.

[matt72582]

I think I have smoked from gravity bong. Too much work, but I always prefer smoking joints. That's the best part, the activity. Nowadays a few puffs gets me buzzed, but I like to smoke. It'll go out, then light it later, etc.

[Zotis]

I used to smoke pot, but I quit because it was a destructive force in my life.

[Rhys]

Weed is pretty fun but I would never say that it was all that important to me.

I'm going to Amsterdam with a grpup of friends in May though and yes, it's kinda important for me there.

If you go to the "420 Cafe" you can hang out with John Sinclair!

Have you been there before? I could give you tips, etc... The Flying Pig Hostel is the best.

Try the drink "Dubble Frisss" - you can find it at Albert Heijn. "Cassiss" (purple drink) is also so delicious, tastes nothing like Fanta. Kaneelstokjes if you love cinnamon candy sticks. Kroket is a tasty snack.

I'm guessing you probably live close by, otherwise I'd pay you to send me a bottle or two of the drink. I long for that nostalgia. I've been to The Netherlands 6 times, but not since 2012 :(

[ash_is_the_gal]

i would take weed over alcohol any day of the week. it helps me with anxiety, menstrual cramps, headaches, and nausea. it doesn't give me a hangover (i'm an awful lightweight with alcohol, i can only drink beer and even at that i have to be cautious on my intake if i don't want to regret it later). it's just plain enjoyable, for me. i like smoking while listening to music or while just hanging out with friends. i realize it's not for everyone (that much is obvious, just by looking at this thread), but it's definitely for me. plus, generally speaking, it's safer to have a weed habit then to have an alcohol habit.

[Camo]

Yeah, i agree with Ash there. The person i know that is the most dependent on weed is my brother in law who has been smoking it every day for 24 years and i'd rather be around him than the alchoholics i know easily. I know Ash didn't say anything like that but i was agreeing with her weed over alcohol habit comment.

the other day, when me and my husband were out to dinner, i said someone should really open an all-night diner that's specifically for people who have weed munchies.

like, in Colorado or something. idk.
