MORE Act. Legal Weed?

There is a reason there are stereotypes.

Damn, and after all this time I thought the stereotype about skeptics being closed minded was false. Thanks for setting me straight.

Close minded or persuaded by the evidence before me?

It's amazingly dishonest to suggest that those stereotypes are totally false and without any merit. Stereotypes are general, not universal and that they may not be representative of an entire population. Not every canabis user is fairly represented by Jeff Spiccoli. But that doesn't mean there aren't individuals just like him.

I wonder if my sig is still active? "Normal" is a stereotype. They're only useful in cases when an individual perfectly matches, and even then they're redundant.

Evidence? As others keep pointing out to you, you're relying entirely on anecdotes; as the sayings go "anecdotes aren't evidence" and "the plural of anecdote is not data. There's a reason anecdotal evidence is considered a logical fallacy.

Oh, so black people love to eat fried chicken and watermelon while they carry guns around and shoot each other? I've seen that stereotype constantly. Stereotypes, generally, focus on the negative of insert_culture_here and that's why they're generally ********.

I'm convinced you're being dishonest or your perception is distorted as I have had too many of them to count.

Again, you seem stuck on using your anecdotal experience to stereotype an entire group of people. Seriously though, my perception is distorted and you're the one implying all stoners are the sidekick from Dazed and Confused? Come on. My perception is totally fine, I'd say perhaps my perception is a bit more updated.

Great. And I'll pass.

For the 2nd or 3rd time. I don't want, nor am I asking, you to smoke weed. Given your predetermined notions it would be my guess you would have a bad time no matter what. Even if it actually was enjoyable.

I wasn't referring to YOU being close-minded. To most non-skeptics and especially woo believers, the stereotypical skeptic is close-minded. And according to your own logic, that means it must be rooted in truth. Also, apparently Asians are bad drivers, women suck at math, jocks are dumb, and nerds all wear thick black glasses and pocket protectors.

Everybody's wrong. Pot is bad because it causes users to dress poorly. Rotting the brain or coating the lungs in cancerous chemicals is fine, but sandal-wearing when not on or near a beach? The DEA should be authorized to use deadly force up to and including drone strikes on pot farms to prevent this menace. My god, some of you druggies own tie-dye shirts, don't you? Ugh.

After 20+ years of that herb rotting my brain dl and I still don't wear sandals or tie-dye shirts either. Jeans or basketball shorts and a t-shirt that almost always has the Yankees emblem on it.

I would offer up one example to counter this though. Elton John. Elton John is\was a major stoner and he dressed pretty damn well.

Basketball shorts? When you were not playing basketball? Sir, you have condemned yourself with your own testimony. Perhaps if your brain wasn't "stoned" into permanent bafflement you'd have realized that. The drones are approaching your location now.

Eta: as for Elton John, his profession is gay clown, so his dress is appropriate for that.

 

[DuvalHMFIC]

No longer a smoker but guilty as charged: I wear a t-shirt and flip-flops as much as humanly possible. The most painful part of getting a new job was actually having to iron my clothes everyday. I hate that.

Do the drones actually kill or are they going to shoot a high end suit at me, and cut my hair?

I live in North Dakota. We only have summer for 72 hours and then it's cold. I also don't like things in between my toes.

slacking useless hipster is a thing, all caused by devil weed. Ban it everywhere.

If you're going to "poe", you have to do it much better than this. We've got Cain, you're not even in the top 10.

You know we live in an era of unparalleled technological advance, right? You can get wrinklefree everything. I haven't ironed a dress shirt or pants in twenty years.

Yeah but you also haven't worn a dress shirt or pants in 25 years, which makes me wonder whose pants and dress shirt you ironed?!

 

[Belz...]

In the previous exchange, which was lengthy, we had a back and forth about how he (acbytesla) probably comes in contact with a myriad of people that are stoned and he has no idea they are. The implication that he thinks "so many people are morons" is because of weed is not one based in fact >> to me <<.

Thank you for your response.

I like to think in the 8ish years I've been around here people generally have gotten use to the fact that I'm an *******.

Duly noted!

spare me that. It is fact that weed is worse for you than smoking, and the fact the whole weed culture hides behind some creative unorthodox way of life farce is complete nonsense. They should accept conformity, give up on on hemp fantasy and drink beer like the rest of us. Filthy skateboarding scum.... scooterers to!

This may be geographic thing, not (just) a stoner thing.

We don't put on airs here in the Western states. We are expansive thinkers, unbound by quaint, old timey concepts. We surf in the morning and snow ski in the afternoon. We don't eat weird hot dogs encrusted in pretzel. We dress for comfort.

JK! Back when I was a big shot consultant, of course I had to dress properly for work. Pompous, restrictive garb such as jeans and tennies.
