I'm fucking lazy, and as I said I rarely touch the stuff
"War" suggests both sides could possibly win. There is no stopping the manufacturing, supply and usage of drugs except in the sort of totalitarian nightmare that would make Orwell wake up screaming. After so many decades, so many lives destroyed and so much money wasted, it is time to admit we got it way wrong and try a different approach.
When I say makes them lazy I don't actually mean to extreme levels where they lose their jobs and familes. Just in the same way drinking has effects on people during the time they take it, the effect I see on anyone I've known who smokes weed is that they become tired, don't want to do anything or go anywhere and generally become paranoiod.
I must have smoked it myself for around 10 years on and off.
I know lots of respectable people smoke and some people say it improves people's performance in some ways but I disagree with that.
Joe Rogan who's podcasts I LOVE to watch often talks about how good weed is. But I've never felt any kind of enhancement or improvement in myself from smoking weed and never seen anything like it in anyone I knew who smoked it. It's always the same. You just get sore red eyes, laugh at stupid stuff, get a bit paranoid and then really fucking hungry.
If it was legalized I think it would lead to a whole lot less of a romantasized view of weed and people would stop talking about these mystical improvements weed gives you and it will just occupy a slot that goes somewhere inbetween not as harmful as alcohol, but should be treated with a bit more caution than drinking a cup of tea.
I've always wanted to try and make a weed smoothie with my nutri ninja but just never risked it since I suppose I could lose my job from a random drug test and I'd just be worried about getting caught in some way.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
