Article reads like a drunk college freshman wrote it.
This dude has issues, and his gross (in both senses of the word) oversharing of personal information illustrates some of those. He practically brags about promiscuity.
As for the pot use, I sympathize, I know a couple of folks who have used it to mitigate medical conditions. While I don't think that making pot legal for all is a good idea. There is a legitimate argument in such cases for limited medical use.
Sullivan however didn't make it. He instead describe how he is self medicating to treat a symptom of his problem, instead of trying to find out why he has insomnia. His 90 degree turn half way into the article to complain about his alma mater, doesn't help.
I get the feeling that while he was halfway through, someone yelled "SQUIRREL!" When he got back to the keyboard, he just decided to rant about something else. It's like reading Spicoli from Fast Times
No, my kid did not hear about the white out incidents lol.(some boys actually sniffed glue in class) I was straight with her when discussing drug past because I wanted her to know how easily addiction can sneak in, what a bad trip can feel like and the stupid decisions made while high that could have ended very badly and only by pure luck didn’t. She never got into drugs, thankfully.
Isn’t this the pole smoker who advocates butt secks for every body?
He’s a walking AIDS. Penicillin fears him.
Still, I love pot and ingest it daily, so there.
Statistically, those who experiment with cocaine in their youth but never use it ever again are more successful as adults than those who never experimented, for some reason.
There was a study.
so yeah, revel in your past! I know I do. I’m glad I’m alive after all that.
“I smoke pot ‘cause it makes that pillow taste better.”
Yikes!
Nothing that comes from faggotry can be good.
Don’t ever try to sell me the pathetic lie that more weed openly in the environment will NOT find its way into the hands of minors. What an imbecilic argument to make.
Says who?
He might hide behind some presumably "conservative" principles, but if you dig down just a little, you'll find a raving leftist.
There's no such thing as a "gay conservative." Not in this galaxy.
More like a high-schooler.
With very few exceptions, I've found that most self-declaring "gay" men I've been acquainted with are emotionally and mentally stunted.
That would depend. Is there tar in the smoke resultant of the burn? Is that tar absorbable by the alveoli, or does it build up over time, thus impeding oxygen absorption?
Are there active ingredients (chemicals) in the smoke? On par, are they vasodialative or vasoconstrictive? The first lowers blood pressure, the latter spikes it.
So if you have high blood pressure and you smoke a plant that directly applies a vasodilator to the lungs' alveoli, it lowers you blood pressure. If the tars are 98% absorbable by the lungs, then it just gets flushed out with your other waste, and leaves no scarring or damage.
So if someone has hypertension and high blood-pressure, smoking a vasodilative plant can be quite beneficial.
More to the point, one needn't "smoke" anything. This substance can be eaten, vaporized with heat, and/or absorbed directly through the dermis.
So your all encompassing generalization is aught but food for fact-starved fools. You can surely do better.
“And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! “
-Kipling
None of which has anything to do with the triggers or functions of actual "addiction."
God help us all.
For folks who are hopefully at least minimally intelligent, some of you do alot of quite ignorant generalizing. Moreover, if your non-arguments are the best you can come up with, you really have no place criticizing a plant whose user is far more erudite, informed, logical and rational than you have been thus far.
;^)
He’s also dependent on “pipe.”
No, you're not. Just your oft-repeated, and more frequently exploded prejudices about a plant God made for a reason.
HEY PISS THE BOOG.
(urinate on your expelled mucus)
Perhaps he'll forget to take his AIDS drugs more than a few times.
He doesn’t even bother to quote any study or statistics - simply pulls it out of the air.
But if there are such “studies” I’m sure they were done by people with a strong desire to make that point.
