CALM YO FUCKIN' TITS. WE FRIENDS HERE STOP HARSHIN' MY BUZZ. D8<
Ok but seriously. Yeah, it used to be that hemp was a direct competitor of the lumber industry due to its superiority to paper-based products, but not so much anymore. The sad fact [yes, sad fact] of it is is that science HAD to compensate for prohibition, but was it worth it? Nylon ropes and other such shit and for the tradeoff that I can't get the only fucking sleep-aid that actually works for me either easily OR cheaply because it's been criminalized for the last 80 fucking years. Yeah. To ME, it wasn't fucking worth it. ISN'T fucking worth it.
Now. YES. I stereotyped. I made the claim that stoned-driving doesn't take place and that wasn't entirely accurate. I will iterate for the umpteenth time; I generalize for the sake of simplicity, because if I were to take into account every single detail in every argument just to make sure I'm including everyone and every single viewpoint I'd spend an entire day on a single point because I like to talk about things that affect a large number of people. There's a REASON the general idea of a stoner is the laid-back, chilled-out mellowed fellow; because this is the most common kind of stoner. Not all of them are like this but a majority of them are. I'm not appealing this ruling against weed to the Supreme Court, I'm bitching to fellow potheads about what a load of garbage this continued idea of weed causing public safety issues in such grand scales as they claim is. If I WERE appealing to the Supreme Court...well let's face it, I'd get ten words in and they'd say "WE HAVE HEARD NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW WEED IS NOT AS DANGEROUS AS HEROINE AND METH, GET THE FUCK OUT."
And to make it clear to all the ultraliteral-minded on this forum; THAT'S AN EXAGGERATION.
I'm gonna have to start putting that up, I guess, because the idea of reading between the lines and seeing behind the curtain is just too hard for people these days or something. 9_9
That or maybe we on this forum are just constantly bombarded by religious shitbrickers so often that we're kind of stuck on the idea that if it SEEMS stupid it probably IS stupid... This is more likely, now I think on it...nor is it really all that inaccurate.
In closing; yes, I am HIGHLY aware that people stoned off their ass will go driving. I've done it several times, often with a friend who was ALSO stoned. Usually well past midnight, and to go to Mcdonald's to get a cheeseburger or...ten...
But the thing is, alcohol, for example, a legal substance, causes impairment while bolstering confidence...whereas when you're stoned you are still aware, albeit vaguely of your capacities. There's been times I've been really, REALLY baked, and I've WANTED to go to the gas station for snacks but I've known too damn well that there's no chance in hell that I'm getting behind the wheel. If I REALLY must, I'll walk. Other times, I've been aware and capable and able to drive and I am aware of this, too. Weed doesn't impair the judgment like alcohol does. It DOES alter your mindset but your judgment is still rather intact. Who the fuck gets stoned and fucks an ugly person, for example? Compare to, who gets drunk and fucks an ugly person?
Again. Generalization, but I really, truly, and honestly CANNOT think of a single instance in where someone got into a car accident that was caused by the person who was stoned. If someone can provide a link or something to show otherwise, I would appreciate it, of course, but I have looked and have not been able to find something where someone got into a car accident because they were stoned.
