Yeah. They are not as assine as the WO(some)D crowd. They actually believe it is their responsiblilty to control the behaviors with which they disagree. Show me that conservative principle outlined somewhere. In the meantime, they kick back, and bitch, bitch, bitch about the taxman and pat the prez on the back for providing "cheap labor"...!
Your posit is absolute bullshiite, from the usual WODbots...
The equivalent dose for a 170 lb. human would be - 2,000 joints with the estimated weight of the rat at one ounce!(winston2)

OK Give me a hit and make it 1,500 of those "scaled down" rat joints.
As Chong once told Cheech - "hey man, that's a tooth pick".

What part exactly do you disagree with?
My basic points were all true.
#1 Alcohol was scriptural, and the diet of that time had to use it to purify the food.
#2 Alcohol is good, but gets to be a problem in some cases when people get intoxicated and depending what they are doing, they could be criminal.
#3 Smoking is faster in getting things into your brain and system far more so than by eating or even an injection. So that makes Pot and Alcohol two totally different animals.
You make "basic points" are made up to seem as if you are trying to say something. the problem lies with your use of them, and the implication you try to make from them.
That is what this thread is all about. Agenda-led crap like yours.
Alcohol is a gift from God, or a bane? which is it?
Food in the old testament was rotten and nobody could eat it without drinking alcohol?
Smoking is faster getting things into your brain, so therefore it is bad?
A ca gal got her panties in a twist because another human being likes to smoke pot?
Tell somebody who cares! There are just a few of your cronies that even bother to show up... and none of you has a bit of reason to be pointing to motes...
Yes - I do affirm that I have often times partaken of the noble cannabis plant!
I claim that the ingestion of a naturally occurring plant is one of the "pursuits of happiness" that some overzealous individuals have by dishonorable means, influenced our federal and state governments to deprive millions of U.S. citizens of.
It is a right that I claim and wish the aid of fellow conservative patriots to defend.
Take your blinders off, clueless idiot. Re-read your drunken post, and chill out. You made my point, all by yourself.
And we needed scientific research to tell us this? That Mary Jane is a gateway drug!?

Alcohol is a gift/tool, and has been used as a purifier of food, blood thinner and for other good things. People don't have to overuse it to the extent of being a stuoid use or take it to a criminal use level, that is stupidity.
Facts are facts, they did not store food during Biblical times, so alcohol was a way food was purified. We know today that eating raw pork gives you worms in your body, well the Bible didn't say you'd get worms, but said beware of pork and stay away.
Facts are facts, the other part about smoking being the fastest way to get a drug through the body is true. The second fastest way is by injection and then later is through the mouth which is slower by far.
Tell somebody who cares!
People who care will at some point read this and see me make the great points I did, so it does matter and people will care. :-)
So if you don't smoke pot until you are over the age of 20 your risk of becoming a coke or smack addict are greatly reduced.
So Ern, what is the 'big picture'?
So it would think = So I would think
Mostly I was joking but yeah, I think you are right for the reason you stated and also because younger people who use drugs for "escapism" don't learn sober ways to deal with their problems, they may just turn to drugs, and so they defer their own maturation in the process. It's probably the same with alcohol, though.
Water is a gift from God, but you can kill yourself easily by drinking too much of it. Does that mean we should take the risk of making a stupid use of water? Heck no.
You cannot easily kill yourself with water. That is a stupid statement. People drink beer after beer and seem to get along alright. The current weekend requirement is at least a 30-pack, for each drinker. That's a lot of extra water. If you don't believe it, go to a ballgame and wait to pee...

Alcohol is a natural occurence when yeast mixes with sugar. At some point, a man drank some grape juice that had fermented naturally, and decided it was good. We now distill it and call it brandy. I have an almost-empty glass of B&B sitting beside my humidor. I have a lit Ashton cigar in the ashtray near me.
People can certainly act stupid. The Bible tells many stories about them. When Noan's ark landed after the rains, Noah celebrated and got so drunk he stripped naked and was dancing. His daughters backed up to him with a cloak, and covered his nakedness.

I eat rare pork. I am not afraid of trichynosis. It is not a problem with modern pig farms. Sanitation has always been a problem. You sure seem to seek a lot of ways to promote alcohol in a positive manner, while demonizing its use. You should learn more about the misinformation you repeat. Drinking alcohol has not been used for sterilization and sanitation. It was used for drinking. It makes you intoxicated.
Facts are indeed facts, and you have displayed few pertinent to this discussion. Why do you think anybody is listening to your drivel? I only replied to antagonize your simple mind.
You talk about not eating pork to please God. You need to read your New Testament a little more. Then, you might visit these guys. I keep some in my freezer.
No need to respond. I am going to bed. I have to go see my 83 yr old Dad tomorrow. He knows what I smoke, and hasn't seemed to care enough to say stop. He is a navy Vet, as I.
Good night, maam! go play with your sisters!
This is an idiotic reductionistic argument. We humans have 'nerves' where rats don't even have lobes. They eat their own and don't mind living in filth and feces. Why aren't (most) humans prone to such behavior? Rats are not capable of considering the long-term consequences of behavior, nor of being informed of vital information, nor of making rational decisions. But let's extrapolate at will from rat behavior if it serves our agenda! -- That's what you are saying.
I did NOT say it was NOT possible to drink too much water. Read my post again.
The Bible does not say beware of Portk.
Hemp is a natural growing substance and it is ridiculous to compare smoking to drinking, and trying to correlate them. They are both intoxicants.
You did post inaccuracies (as usual) and then tried to build some sort of argument with the inaccuracy. That is why this article was posted. It takes random samples ande tries to build a case. It fails miserable. So do you!
Gotta head to DC. Bye, maam!
I claim that smoking it brings happiness. The constitution does not guaranteee happiness, only the pursuit of it.
You are free to pursue your goal of seeking legislation that legalizes the use of marijuana.
