According to the commercials once you get stoned you are too lazy and unmotivated to do anything. Seeing those same commericals also implied that people that like marijuana are addicts that need it 24/7 it is only a fair conclusion that he would have been blown out so much he would have never had the motivation to care for hi lawn or hire a company to maintain it. :-)

Yes, but his ability to grow large amounts of pot indicate a knowledge of horticulture, so perhaps he would be even BETTER at maintaining his lawn than the average person. :-)

Does this mean that 40 years from now DetroitYESers will be sharing their memories of "The Great Marijuana Riot of '08"?

Seriously Gannon, the government is far too incompetent to carry out a conspiracy on the scale you iterated. Concluding that the murder of two drug dealers implies impending massive government oppression is a bit of a stretch.

I believe that the prison system in Michigan is the first or second highest expenditure.

Now I do not drink, smoke or take any substances so keep this in mind as I write the following. Legalize & highly tax all mind altering substances. Use the taxes for treatment of addicts. Prosecute users who operate cars or other machinery while intoxicated.

Prohibition doesn't work. Why not try making coffee illegal and see what happens to productivity in the work place.

I'm trying to remember what "new weapon" the guard used in '67?

Umm, helmets? Nope. Rifles? Nope. Tanks? Nope.

I know!! It must have been the first time a cloaking device was used, because I sure didn't SEE any new technology...

"Psychological dependence does not have to be limited only to substances; even activities and behavioural patterns can be considered addictions, if they become uncontrollable, e.g. gambling, Internet addiction, computer addiction, sexual addiction / pornography addiction, reading, eating, self-harm, vandalism or work addiction."

It may be relevant that one of the symptoms of marijuana abuse (use would be LEGIT medicinal as in chemo treatment, glaucoma, etc) is paranoia, Gannon.

I actually agree with this to some extent although I would use the more general term "anxiety" rather than "paranoia" which can be a manifestation of anxiety. It's my understanding that this anxiety only appears in extremely heavy and chronic users and is not a lasting harm to the user or others. I understand that Gannon is not a heavy user. I only mention this to suggest that heavy users try sobriety for a few days if they encounter this symptom.

I'm strongly in favor of decriminalizing marijuana for even recreational use although I wouldn't choose to use it myself even if it were legal.

On the inciting a riot angle, consider the increased Homeland Security funding of local law enforcement over the last few years. About a year ago I was surprised to see a convoy of military vehicles headed toward Van Dyke and 21 Mile to handle a suicide case. It was way over what was necessary but it shows what they have and their willingness to deploy it even in sleepy communities.

Are you serious? lol, oh dear.

"there has been no consistent proof that the stuff does much more than mellow you completely out, period."

It doesn't always mellow you out, the cheap shit that is so commonly found in these parts can cause
paranoia on a massive scale, the kind of paranoia that leads to threads like this being created.

Ahem. Cough. Ummm. Okay. The last thing any pothead should want or desire is for the Feds to legalize it and tax hell out of it. It is purely a cash-crop that sustains itself quite well on the truly open black market. Someone who only deals in pot should not be classified as a "drug dealer". A cat who deals in the White or the Ultra Man, lures little girls, and plays the role of neighborhood caretaker - now THAT is what I think is meant in the spirit of "drug dealer". For the record, I don't smoke the crap anymore. No desire. It makes one slow and talking out they ass - of course you're funny as hell on the way though. Marijuana is the equivalent of Bayer Children's Aspirin circa '73. There will never be a riot over this issue because, no matter what, our Government must allow funnels to exist - and Detroit is a pretty good one for 'em. No matter which way you look at it - the money is, and always will be - good. Very good.

My bad on the Canada question! I don't know wtf I was thinking.

I am much more informed of his intent in starting this conversation after discussing it with Gannon today. I still am not convinced that the government is capable of that much organization and their incompetence is overwhelming. Retroit is spot on with his assertions in his post #79.

As for not believing in the "black ops helicopters",I just don't know what to say. It is a well known fact that these choppers are used by the DEA, ICE, ATF and all of the other security organizations. They have have them and use them often. You don't seriously believe that they aren't watching that type of stuff, do you?That's why I mentioned the FLIR unit-it is standard issuance for those choppers, along with a string of other things that you would crap your pants if you knew were flying over your heads from time to time.

The reality is that the Patriot Act has opened the door to all types of personal freedom erosions, and unless the law changes to restrict the governments intrusion into our lives, it will continue, albeit slowly, to get worse and worse. Jimaz alludes to this in his post #5338 and he is correct with his assertion.

Ordinary-

I echo Jt1 here-where is your proof? When and where does it end? Who decides what is enough and where you draw the line on just what is and what isn't acceptable under the law?

I don't believe that the government in capable, again, of telling anyone what to do or not to do until they clean up their own house!

JL-

You are a stich my friend!

I hardly think that the LEA's cruise these forum boards looking for guys like Gannon to prey on for outing themselves! They can't even get the big guys let alone Gannon!!

As for his honesty, Gannon can be faulted there!

Paranoia no, anxiety and disbelief in the broken down system, yes.

By the way, I love the way that some people use the terms pothead, loser and so on to describe people who smoke dope. So 60's!

The market is off the charts for the stuff right now, as prices have soared since the 70's and 80's and usage is obviously up due to that very fact.

Legalizing won't cut into anyone's profits, and may actually make the "dealers" more money by the competition it would induce. Quality would be insured, and government eradication program money could be better invested in feeding and clothing the poor.

Gravitymachine,

Yeah, but this is merely an internet forum, for what most of you think, I'm merely living in a fantasy world.

Why would THESE claims be any truer than the stuff you'd rather not consider?


Pretty curious a conspiracy theorist being so transparent publicly, I must have nothing to lose.


I also have nothing to fear.


Take your paranoia and roll then smoke it, my friend, but DON'T pass it my way. I'm not into that stuff.


Cheers,
John

Ooooo. Helicopters with infra-red and spooky government shock-troops with laser beams. Gimmie a fucking break. Sorry that I don't applaud and encourage the losers that buy, sell and use illegal drugs. But it is funny that people have deluded themselves into thinking that they are taking some sort of noble or necessary stance when they buy their illegal drugs, when in reality they are just being criminals.

Shark-

I'm guessing you are a LEO or just some kind of jerk who gets off belittling others. Everyone, including you, has faults. To use name calling as a source of your diatribe against drugs is just plain arrogant and you remind me of the worst kind of hypocrite that exists. I just know that you have never broke the law yourself, mr. goody-two-shoes. You should really get off your usual superiority complex.

I never said a thing about laser beams, so stow your shit with me. As far as the "black choppers" are concerned, laugh away. It just shows how ill-informed you really are. Since you never break or have broken the law, you have nothing to fear, I guess.

You need a fucking break cause folks like you never cease to place themselves above others. It is more than apparent with your condescending attitude. No one was applauding or encouraging anything, but to resort to name calling like that is just plain childish.

By the way, I spent three years helping eradicate pot for the military in places like Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, North, Central and Southern Mexico, and the like, and I will tell you this:the 50+ people that we lost and the countless hours we wasted trying to control "dope" for those folks like you who think their shit don't stink wasn't worth one minute of it. Not one life that I witnessed being lost in that cause was worth the effort that went into it and the fact that all of that did NOTHING to curb the influx of the stuff into this country. When I got back, the quality and the quantity of what I saw on the streets was enough to convince me of that.

By the way, I am far from delusional. Delusional is to keep doing the same thing, over and over, expecting different results. I, and others here, at least, offer some plausible solutions. You offer none.

After 370 posts, could you please post something that contributes, rather than detracts, from the conversation? Your rhetoric is really getting old.

I don't mean to derail the snarling match by interjecting a light-hearted thought, but I find the term "pot" to be funny in sound, look, and usage. I have never known anyone who actually smoked marijuana to refer to it as "pot."

Because it is a serious concern based upon trends I'm spotting...and it seems since September 10th, 2006 at least one high-ranking Air Force general has a new toy he wants to test.

It isn't a laser beam, it is an ElectroMagnetic radiator...basically like a portable microwave oven to cause groups of people to submit to the will of whomever is at the trigger.


Those who ridicule that have no clue, either.


High energies of this sort of weapon will turn your brains into oatmeal.

The human skull is a basic collector antenna for EM frequencies...although in reverse it seems to serve a better purpose. I'm still trying to figure out the resonance benefits of the mere human machine, and as soon as I do I'm sure I'll report it here for y'alls edification and education.

I'm still puzzling over the obvious tuning of the human skeletal arrangement, not that anyone else has noticed the similarities of it versus a television antenna. Most of you are not aware of the resonance of the shakra which connect our physical and spiritual natures.


You can ridicule all you want...there are forces at work pushing the populace to riot...and if we can get enough people aware of their spiritual natures, we just might be able to Gandhi our way through the terrible times ahead.


They will be terrible times...and I'm really not sure why I know that right now. Those that laugh the hardest at that will be the ones most miserable when reminded later.


Cheers, anyways.

As I recall, these black helicopters were commonplace sightings at the Deer Valley airport in northern Phoenix, AZ. I'm really surprised anyone associates them with conspiracy theories because they made no attempt to conceal their presence. They operated in broad daylight along with all the other experimental aircraft common there.

What's the mystery? What am I missing here?

Wasn't until I spoke with PlymouthRes today that I realized one of the motivations for this sweep during an election year.

Most of the wonderful enjoyers of the benefits of marijuana are thorough-thinking folk who see right through the bullshit put forth by our so-called leaders in Washington DC.

They wouldn't mind having people like that unable to vote in the next election, they cannot risk them voting for the competition...or anyone who actually makes sense.

Like the None of the Above candidate...

Funny post there Plymouthres. No, I don't commit felonies, and I will laugh away at black helicopter conspiracy theories because I'm quite sure that I don't have anything to fear from the government. And I never specifically called anyone a name. It is just my opinion in general that people who do buy, sell and use illegal drugs are losers. So you don't agree with me, fine. I also think that murderers, drunk drivers, tax cheats, wife-beaters, thieves and pretty much anyone that gets themselves into a situation where they could go to prison are losers.

And I'm sorry that I don't live up to your lofty posting standards. Maybe you have a superiority complex...

Shark-

Possession of marijuana is a misdemeanor, not a felony(unless you possess more than 400 grams). I wasn't or wouldn't advocate felony possession if it were heroin or the like,but to bust people for pot because a few people still have that "its an illegal drug" philosophy is just plain archaic thinking, so lets not even go there.

By the way, calling people "losers" and "potheads" is name calling, and that is what I was referring to.

Even though you don't believe it, the ONLY thing you should fear is the continual governmental erosion of your rights(Patriot Act). The rest of the stuff that affects you in this country will be secondary to their incompetence.

While entitled to your opinion, be prepared to have to defend it here. That is the beauty of the forum, that we can discuss these issues and participate. But opinions come with a price, too.

I agree that we agree to disagree:just don't slam others for their opinions, just as you are asking for yourself.

I don't think "potheads" fall into the same level of crime as all in your second to last sentence. All those crimes you listed are felonies, not misdemeanors. Apples and oranges.

No need to apologize.We all come from different sides of the equation, and I'm sure there is some reason that you've formed the opinions you have. I've got my side, you've got yours. NEITHER is superior. Just provide better arguments than the ones you have.

Mauser-

This line from the second article says it all IMO:

"Honestly, a lot of it is related to obesity," he said. "We've become a couch potato culture (and) it's a lot easier to pop a pill" than to exercise regularly or diet.

This line is a real gem, too:

"Antidepressant use in particular jumped among teens and working-age women. Doctors attributed that to more stress in daily life and to family doctors, including pediatricians, being more comfortable prescribing newer antidepressants".

I wonder then, because these are legal drugs, should we accept that these increases are the only way to treat disease? There has to be a better way.

I'm just saying that there are always two sides to the equation.

I also believe that inducing these types of "chronic" conditions (no pun intended!) by not addressing the root problems is part of our culture's fault and the medical field's way of staying in business.

Gnome-

Your suggestion to Gannon may guarantee lifetime employment for Mr. Gannon!!

I don't know which pic made me laugh more, the one above or the one of Cub with a pitchfork!
Nice glasses on that driver there!

Damn, I need to keep some super absorbent paper towels close when I'm drinking coffee......

Because it is a serious concern based upon trends I'm spotting...and it seems since September 10th, 2006 at least one high-ranking Air Force general has a new toy he wants to test.

It isn't a laser beam, it is an ElectroMagnetic radiator...basically like a portable microwave oven to cause groups of people to submit to the will of whomever is at the trigger.



i'm suprised you haven't donned the tinfoil hat yet, that's the FIRST thing i do when people point their electromagnetic radiator at me..

Gnome,

Thank you for the graphic's work, soon as the venture is launched, check'll be in the mail.

Unless you want to trade-in-kind, of course.

We'll accomodate, by then, money might not mean a thing.


Cheers

(still trying to catch my breath from this and another thread, good gut laughs tonight...thanks!)

Can I get a tag line that reads, "Nature's Most Amusing Analgesic"

and a wee sticker on the truck that reads "Discounts with Medical Prescription"?
