This is not surprising. He also probably got good information from a history book that the world is only 8,000 years old.If it was a misquote, then I’ll stand behind the mistake,” Pristoop responded. “But I’m holding on to information I was provided.”
Poor SEC states are typically conservative. Once we get a marijuana lobby big enough, they can find some quote in the bible about the green and say its "God's drug" and its part of his plan and the morons(read: religious people) will eat it up.dlazz;1584759 wrote:I'm shocked they weren't first to adopt it.

Anyway, between dealing between the dumb drunks and dumb stoners back in my partying days, I prefer the drunks (as long as they aren't driving). They don't steal all of my food and they don't try to be super-philopsophical and make no sense at all.
I've never been challenged to a fight by a stoner with "pot muscles."Manhattan Buckeye;1584834 wrote:Georgia is fairly progressive given the huge Atlanta population.

lol...I agree, stoners are much more passive 'cause, well, they're stonedjustincredible;1584839 wrote:I've never been challenged to a fight by a stoner with "pot muscles."
I haven't either, but I have been annoyed to the bejesus with guys that are arguing whether Tolkien is better than CS Lewis while they are stealing my Kit-Kats.justincredible;1584839 wrote:I've never been challenged to a fight by a stoner with "pot muscles."
That was my first thought on the comparison as well.justincredible;1584839 wrote:I've never been challenged to a fight by a stoner with "pot muscles."
I agree, but dealing with a stoned 21 year old is pretty much a mental fight. I wish the movie "Dazed and Confused" was more accurate in that Wooderson and Pink were typical people. It is still a great movie, just not so accurate. But I agree that the physical violence isn't there at all.queencitybuckeye;1584846 wrote:That was my first thought on the comparison as well.

Curious your thoughts on radios in cars since radios cause more accidents and subsequent deaths than alcoholic consumption? Should that be zero tolerance as well?Sonofanump;1584927 wrote:This is my only concern. I am for zero tolerance.
Everything in moderation, obviously.Fab4Runner;1584923 wrote:I don't care if weed is legal or illegal. I have no issues with anyone who wants to partake. But I really am not a fan of people who are high all the time. My college boyfriend (and his roommates/friends) were constantly smoking, and it really seemed like it was the most important thing in their lives sometimes. It got really old, really quick. Drunk people can be annoying, bothersome, dangerous, etc., but so can people who smoke marijuana. In that regard, I guess I don't see a huge difference between alcoholics who drink daily and stoners who smoke daily. I don't particularly want to be around either, and I certainly don't want them on the roads.
