View Full Version : I do not care if you smoke pot.

In all but two or three groups that I've had in the past week, at least one person in the group thought it was necessary to announce they were high as a kite.
You know what? I don't give a shit. Nobody else does, either.
What you do in your own home is your business and your right. I don't smoke pot and I think people that do are idiots — that's my business and my right. I won't impose my opinions on you in the context of a group, and conversely, you should stop broadcasting your personal habits just because you're an attention whore who's under the impression that it makes you look cool. It doesn't.
Edit: and yes, this belongs in R & F, I thought I was over there :)

Aside from the use of sports enhancement injections, I am straightedge. I don't drink or smoke and never have. I don't care if people smoke pot as long as its not around me personally and in game they dont get us killed. But yes it can get overdone with people having to tell everyone in the group their habits or having their name reflect said habit. Then again, A LOT of gamers are burnouts.

This has to be a troll, doesn't it?
I know far more alcoholics that play than potheads. The alcoholics are just a lot less vocal about their buzzes and no one starts flame threads when someone says "brb getting another beer" but someone always gets their panties in a wad about "semi-afk a minute, rolling a joint".
I go completely straight edge from my birthday (June 25) until Christmas (December 25) every year. I mean really straight edge, no "except for..." items like caffeine or sugar or "sports enhancement injections" (you know you get to die young now, right? Enjoy your heart, liver and kidneys while they last). EQ is boring me to death since I stopped smoking pot, but going outside is increasingly exciting. I might be straight edge for good this time around.

Im not going to get into a scientific debate on the effects of "sports enhancement" substances. There are far too many variations out there to determine what will happen to me later in life for doing it only at a minimal pace to keep up with my profession. As far as going outside, I play pretty much every sport available to adults at my age in my community and enjoy the physical activities involved with them all. I have done my homework on the decisions I make for my health. Speak to doctors more than listening to the media and government, you might be surprised at what you discover. You do know if you take too much aspirin its bad for you too? Wow, better just handle those headaches another way I guess!
My wife and I only play EQ at night after the kids are in bed and for only a few hours three to four times a week or as life permits. As much as I would like to, we don't really veg-out on here.
I apologize for seeming like a troll, that I am not. I'm not agreeing with or disagreeing with the posts here, just like all of you, adding my two cents worth of nothing. Sorry if you feel the need to police my posts.

You seem really unclear on this straight edge thing. Yes, aspirin is a drug. Yes, caffeine is a drug. Yes, sugar is a drug. You don't get to pick and choose and call yourself straight edge.
The headaches will stop if you clean yourself up. Most of the effects of smoking pot disappear within a month or two and any sign of lung damage is gone in a few years. Your injections, however, might have already caused considerable and irreversible damage.

The quandary here is that if anyone tries to have a discussion about this, they're told that they "care too much", or, failing that, they're bombarded with strawman after strawman about how they think pot should be criminalized because they choose to criticize annoying mouth-breathers who act like something so magical happens every time they smoke a joint that it has to be broadcasted to everyone. Our statement is pretty clear: we don't think there is anything special about pot, and so we're irritated with how people are constantly talking about how high they are, which misrepresents how ordinary and un-special the activity is. Most non-pot smokers actually have nothing against marijuana or most marijuana-smokers, but rather have a neutral attitude towards both. However, pot smokers tend to think that being a pot smoker is like being part of a movement - that's why they make up their own holidays (420), write songs about it, and spend nearly every waking moment of their pathetic lives prowling google for conspiracy theory websites that reaffirm their mistaken belief that marijuana has no adverse health effects*. This pisses non-pot smokers off, hence why this thread exists.
*Note: I'm aware that pot's side effects aren't that bad, probably comparable to alcohol or other legal drugs, and am only ridiculing the people who think that marijuana has *NO* adverse effects.

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive component in weed. Without going into an extremely detailed discussion, one significant side effect is that it binds to a receptor in your immune system as well as the primary receptor in your central nervous system. Toxicity is low and it's virtually impossible to overdose, but anything you smoke floods your lungs with carcinogens. As I'm sure you're already aware, smoking pot causes problems with short-term memory (cannabinoids inhibit the release of several neurotransmitters in the hippocampus).
Don't fool yourself. It's a drug.

I usually tell my group if im about to roll a joint. Why? Because I don't feel like lying and making up some bullshit excuse for why i have to be semi afk for 2-3 minutes.
I don't do it because I think its cool (even though it is, but that's besides the point) and I want to show off...

This isn't the kind of behaviour this thread is targeted at. You're allowed to be "out of the closet" about the fact that you smoke pot, and be honest about what it is that's making you afk.

Everyone glorifies their habits. If I got bent out of shape every time someone talked about satisfying his or her caffeine addiction, I'd literally have no time to do anything else.

You seem to be confusing health with lifestyle choices. Health is health. Spending time in ways you approve of is not the same as health.
You have a pet peeve and most people don't give a fuck about your issues. I don't like cars. I think they're loud and they stink. I think they pollute the air and driving to work is the most dangerous thing people do every day. You don't see me riding your ass about driving.

Please explain why it isn't incredibly lame for a group of people to make a holiday around something that they do every day.

Are you really this ignorant? Here are your choices:
1) A pothead types about how high he is in a video game.
2) A drunk hits your car and kills you.
April 20th is a joke. It's just an excuse to have a couple friends over and get stoned. People write songs about their dogs and their trucks and their plastic Jesus.
Have you ever heard of this word "tolerance"? It's really helpful in relating to people that are different from you. Most adults try to apply it to behavior that doesn't put their lives or property at risk.

Frefaln were you on server pre-global chat removal? If you think people in groups are bad about glorifying pot use, when I joined in mid-march everytime I logged in global chat would consistently include a big discussion on pot and just how high some people were. That being said, I agree with Alawen - /ignore and don't group with them going forward. During the days of global chat I racked up quite an ignore list from the idiots spewing filth into ooc, now I know not to group with them, ever.

the last part doesn't even make sense - why would I write a song about a habit that could get me in jail? Wouldn't that be risking me going to jail even more?
And I spoke in the 1st-person-plural because I was expressing the opinions of more than one person. Maybe if you weren't constantly high you would understand the obvious suggestion behind using words like "we" and "our".
The last part doesn't make sense to you because you're not part of an oppressed group.
And I'm sure there are other people in this world who think you're a stupid fuck but I won't be using the phrase "we think you're a stupid fuck" because I don't need to add weight to my arguments by making it seem like I speak for a multitude.

It's been my experience that people who have a problem with marijuana get really bent out of shape when they encounter a pothead who is better (while stoned as hell) than they are at pretty much everything.
Aside from enjoying how it makes me feel, I smoke lots of pot to level the playing field. A wise man told once many years ago that if you spend too much time with people whose intelligences are too far above or below yours that it will drive you crazy. I smoke marijuana so I can be semi-retarded myself and tolerate all you idiots. I could still kick your asses at table tennis or calculus or classical piano!
I am sometimes guilty of stating in game how high I am. Does that bother you? GET THE FUCK OVER IT! I say that Everquest is a place that's much better than real life to share your inclinations. Do you have a problem with me announcing that I need forty-five seconds to pack a bowl? Don't group with me. Block me. Go fuck yourself. At least I'm not some stupid wigger walking around in a flat-brim hat wearing a 420 t-shirt and necklace with a golden marijuana medallion.
And to add to the "which is more harmful?" discussion, you're a fucking moron if you don't realize that alcohol is about a thousand times more destructive than marijuana. Yeah, there are exceptions: functional alcoholics, destroyed potheads. You are stupid if you think there's a good reason marijuana is illegal and alcohol isn't.

I was without smoking, drinking or the GENERAL PERCEPTION of drugs in my system for 26 years. Without getting into the Caff, sugars and whatever debate, lets just make this easier.
My vice is enjoying the kick in the butt I get in the gym from what I do. I've done it for a total of 18 weeks in my life, broken up into many different stages and years. Is it right? Nope. I only said it here as to not come across as Im completely innocent, obviously I'm not. Didn't realize how people could take the ball and run the other way with it so quickly. Guess that makes me a "poser". My feelings are hurt, I'll prolly have to take ANTI-DEPRESSANTS NOW!!! :D
Actually most people usually say such a thing to see if
A) there are other stonies in the group
and
B) to see if there are a bunch of prude whiners such as yourself and the OP, who think they're in high school, and anyone chatting about anything, surely, without a doubt, has to do with them trying to score cool points with people they may never group with again.

Kebbon, how many random tells have you gotten from people telling you they're stoned off their balls?
I've posted this before in another thread, but I honestly don't care what anyone does - be it in game, or irl - regarding drugs as long as it doesn't affect me. If you want to shoot up heroin and play - AND can still play your class, more power to you.
That being said, I agree that pot smokers who feel the need to allow the fact that they smoke pot define who they are are pretty annoying. If you're wearing anything tie dyed, listening to bob marley, have dreads, know 30+ different names for strains of pot, own more than 5 pipes/bongs/etc... I'm talking to you. Seriously, I don't smoke pot much anymore - but even when I was a daily smoker, no one would have looked at me and had any indication that I was a stoner. People who feel they need to ascribe to the traditional stoner image for some reason or another are taking it too far imo.
Smoke all you want - hell feel free to talk about it if you really want... just know that if you feel the need to go on and on about it, I'm going to think that you're a tool who is overly concerned with letting people know how cool they are because they do something that like 90% of the people in our general demographic do.

Its possible, but i was also addicted to sitting down in front of the TV from 6am to 12 as a kid eating huge bowls of Frankenberries and Boo Berries and all that sugary goodness. If something is addictive for adults it can be for kids, i could be mistaken but im pretty sure you can hook kids on cocaine if you try to (lawl dont try that at home), so i dont see why it would be different with sugar.
Some kids do it even consciously now, we saw the niece of my friend guzzle down cola and she was all like "Hehehehe check me out in 10mins" with a mischievous grin.

This is extremely true - there are a number of disorders that are cause by overconsumption of substances that our bodies require. Anyone who has had to take a Nutri-Sci class to fufill a general requirement in college has probably heard over and over and over that the key to nutrition is moderation. Seriously, just knowing that "good nutrition = moderation" would get you like a C in the nutri-sci class I took.

Well i had plenty of fruits to pick from, its just that my parents slept and i went straight for the cereal box. Lots of the times it was corn flakes or rice krispies with a nice tooth shattering dune of sugar waiting for me at the bottom of the milk lake.
I dont eat alot of sugar as an adult, but my brother wakes up in the middle of the night, makes himself a tall glass of milk with 2 what i guess would be twinkies in the US or cookies and goes straight back to sleep.
Im certainly not an expert on it, but looking at my brother behave this way, it looks like an addiction to me. I looked it up and it seems its still on debate wether or not sugar addiction is a reality.

Sugar is addictive. I've never read anything regarding the matter, I'm just speaking from experience here. A few months ago I started plumping up a little and decided I needed to stop drinking pop (soda) altogether. I quit cold turkey and drank a couple cups of coffee each day to quell what I assumed was just a caffeine addiction. After a day or two, the temptation to eat/drink something really sugary was incredible. The thought of a Gatorade (something I never drink that isn't even that sugary) made me tremble with desire. I just about went insane thinking about sugary foodstuffs. I eventually managed to control my sugar cravings through withdrawal with a glass of milk daily. There are a lot of legal addictive stimulants out there, sugar and caffeine included.

in order to be an addiction there has to be a physical dependency. there's a huge difference between needing something and craving something.
if you crave sugar, you can ignore the craving and you'll be fine.
compare this to caffeine, which will give you a headache if you ignore your cravings (and you're addicted).

if you start cutting out sugar completely of course your body is going to react, our entire body chemistry is based on using sugar for energy. you experienced a sugar craving because your body needed sugar.
also milk contains lactose which is a sugar so it would make sense that drinking milk would reduce the craving.

I don't really care either way on the pot issue irl...when i was kid i smoked pot a few times...stopped on my own because i just grew out of it when i got to college...i don't rlly consider it a moral issue in and of itself, etc...so don't put me in on either side of the argument.
what IS interesting to me is that by FAR on this server more than any other I have encountered tons of people talking about smoking pot. I don't recall that back from when i played EQ before on live. i don't recall it in any other game...so i have wondered why it is so different here. it is extremely noticable, in almost every single pug grp i find at least one guy claims to be stoned, or needs to take an afk to smoke a joint, etc...
I wonder if ppl just talk more openly about it, or if the demographic of the game has changed, or more people in general just smoke pot now. something has changed...and it is curious.
i don't take either side on it, but it is interesting.

your body needs sugar of some kind to function. if all sugars (like everything else these are chemicals) were removed from your system you would die very quickly.
what i think is being discussed is refined sugars...which you can live without. like any chemical that your system is sensitive to, you will notice a difference if the level in your system suddenly changes. anyone who has gone a few weeks without any sweets (i.e. refined sugars) can tell you what happens if you suddenly eat a piece of cake...you will feel a rush.
i'm not sure that i would clump all chemicals into the same definition as drugs, though depending on the definition you use it could easily be construed that way.
when i say "drugs" i'm talking about (mostly) pharmaceutical drugs that are recognized by the gov't and illegal drugs on the schedules of banned substances. Maybe i would stretch that to include some over the counter supplements you can buy at any GNC, like Kava-Kava, etc.
when someone calls themselves straight-edge that means to me that they are following the letter of the law to "T". So, anyone who uses illegal drugs (though they may be wonderful people) are not someone i would call straight-edge.

I eventually wise up and shut up. My family lives into our 90s, it's really beneficial to us that the rest of you kill yourselves early if you think about it.
I die at 80 after a long life of enjoying healthy food, tasty food, sometimes food that is both, cigars, alcohol both sophisticated and not, a cigarette here and there, rich, aromatic coffees, and exquisitely crafted desserts and candies.
You start dribbling into a cup at 80 and spend the next ten years of your life slowly sliding into twilight as your mental and physical facilities fail. By 82 you're in a home. By 83 your family has mostly stopped visiting you. By 85 you don't know where you are. By 87 you don't know what year it is and start to forget your family, wondering where your wife is, forgetting she's been dead for five years, getting to relive the pain and mourning from losing your love about once every four weeks. By 89 you're in a bed shitting into a pan watching reality TV for eighteen to twenty hours a day, and by 90 you're dead.
Your family is happy you died because they feel guilty about putting you in adult daycare-prison ten years ago and say stuff like "It's really better off this way -- he's been dead, essentially, for five years." Your grandchildren are happy you're dead because they don't have to lose time playing EQ3 or WoW2 visiting you anymore.

The energy from sucrose is shit and we both know it. It does not sustain life. It is not food. Yes, it is classified as a carbohydrate. Yes, it has measurable calories. No, you cannot live on it. No, you do not receive any health benefits from it.
It's not food.
having a different definition of food than the dictionary makes you wrong. it's fine if that's your opinion though.

That's a nice story. Here's my version:
My maternal grandmother lived to be 95. She lived in her own home. My paternal grandmother is 87. She lives in her own home. My paternal grandfather lived to be 89. He died at home in his own bed in his sleep, lying next to my grandmother. They were married almost 62 years. Five of my great-grandparents were alive when I was born. My paternal grandmother's mother lived to be 102. She worked until she was 97. My 89-year-old grandmother is a hardcore competitive gamer and she talks shit about outliving her mother. My mother is 66. She walks several miles a day, shovels her own snow in the winter, mows her own lawn in the summer, grows about a third of her own food.
My version ends when I'm 107. After nailing my wife one last time, I fall asleep and die in my Dux bed.

Your logic is shit. There are many sources of carbohydrates, like raw potatoes, that we can ingest and derive zero nutrition from. Sucrose does not provide nutrition.
Keep eating it. Keep telling yourself that it's part of a healthy diet. Watch your children get fat. Have another soda.

i don't know how many times i have to say it but we can digest sucrose and derive energy from it. it fits the definition of food. i never said it was healthy. and humans cannot develop a physical dependency to sucrose so it is not a drug.

I said as soon as I mentioned it that sucrose can be argued. Your argument reflects no thinking at all, just seventh grade science. Put it in this box and pretend it's good for you.
You can metabolize straight up saturated fat, too. Is that food? Try thinking.

Obviously it's food. If you were starving to death and you ate a shit ton of saturated fat and sucrose, you'd live longer than if you didn't. So yeah, it's food.
Am I going to go out and eat it for dinner? Fuck no.
Drug doesn't mean "something that's bad for you". That's all you've been arguing about sucrose.

What you do in your own home is your business and your right. I don't smoke pot and I think people that do are idiots — that's my business and my right. I won't impose my opinions on you in the context of a group, and conversely, you should stop broadcasting your personal habits just because you're an attention whore who's under the impression that it makes you look cool. It doesn't.

well. i think your an idiot. maybe if you weren't so ignorant about cannabis, then people in your RL would be more open about it. you say pot heads are idiots, and yet i know doctors and lawyers that use cannabis, they just have to hide it from narrow minded fucks like your self.

No, he doesn't necessarily give a shit IF YOU SMOKE POT. He gives a shit about people who yap nonstop ingame about being high, whether or not they actually smoke pot. I'm with him here, it is pretty annoying when someone can't make it more than an hour without talking about how he needs to afk to smoke a bowl, or whatever.
But you do have a point with the second sentence. The OP is trying to force something on others ("don't talk about pot, zomg!!!") while at the same time complaining that people who are just talking about being high are somehow forcing their opinions on him.

I tried pot a few times, I didn't like it. I'm already relaxed and fat as it is, why would I want to take something to make me more relaxed and eat more. If people want to announce it to the group, I guess I don't care as long as they are playing their character halfway decent. I find extreme roleplayers more annoying. It's like OMG, you totally fooled me dude, I thought for a second you really were an Iksar, especially with that lisp you have. Fucking dork! Ok I feel better =), most roleplayers though, I don't say anything and just roll my eyes and just go with it as long as they can play their character.

I don't really care either way on the pot issue irl...when i was kid i smoked pot a few times...stopped on my own because i just grew out of it when i got to college...i don't rlly consider it a moral issue in and of itself, etc...so don't put me in on either side of the argument.
what IS interesting to me is that by FAR on this server more than any other I have encountered tons of people talking about smoking pot. I don't recall that back from when i played EQ before on live. i don't recall it in any other game...so i have wondered why it is so different here. it is extremely noticable, in almost every single pug grp i find at least one guy claims to be stoned, or needs to take an afk to smoke a joint, etc...
I wonder if ppl just talk more openly about it, or if the demographic of the game has changed, or more people in general just smoke pot now. something has changed...and it is curious.
i don't take either side on it, but it is interesting.
I think what has changed is the open aspect of it. Obviously the gamer community is one that will be more suspect to having drug use in it (note I include alcohol under drugs).
I mean lets face it, we are all sitting here playing a 12 year old game getting our jollies off of content that was cleared by HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people before us. I more question how some of you can sit down and play this INCREDIBLY out-dated game sober?
But onto your point, its in just about every game. I left eq1 for eq2, and was in the same guild in eq2 for many many years. We had a core of major stoners in that guild, and our server (crushbone) had weekly discussions in the top level channel about it. My guild had even created a game for raiding called Low4High which was specifically was intended to get you stoned as shit during a raid, and it became so popular people requested it on weekend PUraids we would do for our alts. Since quitting eq2 I have played just about every major MMO to release for a period (WAR, AoConan, Rift, Darkfall, Aion....) and each and every one of them has a very large community of smokers.
Reality is this.....your playing a game DESIGNED to create its own reality. Just think of the phrase started by eq1 "You're in our world now..." Is anyone really surprised there are people playing this game getting high? I still come back to questioning how can you do this SOBER and get into it as much as some of these 'straight edge' people do. Shit if I sit here and spend a day playing eq1 sober by the end of it I feel like an utter jackass for wasting the day. At least when I am stoned I can justify the fact I had already intended to not do anything overly productive with that time anyways.

Not fortune 500. But im fit, healthy, about to graduate from college in May and have a job waiting for me. And I smoke. But I separated myself early in the game from the A typical stoner that gets high and sits on the couch all day wasting life. I get high and it makes; A: People more tolerable because my mood is more of a fuck it one which allows me to interact with people more efficiently and B:Me want to go out and do something. I am much more likely to sit around and do nothing if I am NOT stoned.
To each his own, drugs affect every individual in a different way. To demonize a group for the actions of any is unjust.

Our statement is pretty clear: we don't think there is anything special about pot, and so we're irritated with how people are constantly talking about how high they are, which misrepresents how ordinary and un-special the activity is. Most non-pot smokers actually have nothing against marijuana or most marijuana-smokers, but rather have a neutral attitude towards both. However, pot smokers tend to think that being a pot smoker is like being part of a movement - that's why they make up their own holidays (420), write songs about it, and spend nearly every waking moment of their pathetic lives prowling google for conspiracy theory websites that reaffirm their mistaken belief that marijuana has no adverse health effects*. This pisses non-pot smokers off, hence why this thread exists.

Wow, well put. Couldn't agree more.
I could care less about pot till people started getting all crazy about it. The only reason I hate it at this point is simply that reason. Its not pot itself that we hate, its people liking pot so much that we hate. The more people want it legalized the more I don't. I would almost go protest against it at this point, even though deep down I could care less about it and maybe would even be pro-legalization just to make things easier.
Note: I also hate alcohol for the same reasons above. I would love to see alcohol become illegal. I hate mundane things that people like alot regardless of what it is.

Nothing's 'wrong' with pot. It's not that everyone wants to know what you're doing/just did.
Would you feel different if someone said,"man, before I came on... I just rubbed one out and I feel great!"
Same shit. Nobody cares.

At least when I am stoned I can justify the fact I had already intended to not do anything overly productive with that time anyways.
I used to have a an approach to smoking and drinking that was six months on and six months off in order to keep some order to life and to control my tolerances. I started smoking and drinking again around the holidays of 2009 and, not too coincidentally, started playing P99 in early January of 2010. In early June of 2010, I went off again, probably for good this time. (Forever is a long time.)
By July, I was so irritated with lack of talent and brains in Inglourious Basterds that I took a long break. In August, I got myself kicked out. In September, I joined DA for a few weeks and got rapidly bored out of my skull. By November, I decided to go back to school and started spending most of my leisure time reading and playing guitar. Now I play a few hours a week. Most days I don't log in at all.
In my case, the answer to your question is obviously that I can't get into it sober. It lacks immersion and difficulty. I'd rather go for a walk or chat on Facebook or bicker on the forums. Or even do my homework or laundry or polish my boots. There's literally no challenge or motivation of any sort.

Is it just me, or are all straight edge people really angry?
It's kind of a mixed bag. I'm more mellow if I smoke pot or take benzos, but I'm way more of a dick if I drink alcohol or caffeine, smoke cigarettes or take any opiates.
It's definitely harder to tolerate how stupid most people are when I'm not fucked up on something, though.

I miss smoking cigs a lot. I could never get into smoking weed or drinking as both make me sleepy as fuck. I don't care what other people do really so long as it doesn't interfere with me me me.
Also, Salty that crack conversation is awesome.

The only way I could see it really annoying someone is if they cannot smoke for whatever reason (random drug tests at work probably high on the list). It would be similar (though not exactly like) talking about how you love to get drunk in group when you have a recovering alcoholic in the group too.
Otherwise, if it really bothers you, find a different group or pick a class with some solo ability. I have left many groups because I didn't like the attitude of the group generally or of one person specifically.

I have no problem with people who waste their money on dope, feel free to go ahead and smoke weed, smoke crack, shoot heroin, drop acid, whatever floats your boat.
but what does it bring to a group to announce publicly with no good reason you are baked / rolling a joint / packing a bowl etc?
is there some unknown mechanic in this game where you announce your on drugs and the mobs spawn twice as fast with double exp and loot?
whenever I hear someone talk about how high they are, how much dope they do, or have a weed themed name like tokin nugs or some dumb shit I think to my self "there goes a really hip 14 year old"

Thank you for elaborating on your point so well.
His point is that, aside from the actual ACT of smoking, marijuana is 100x safer than alcohol....and even most over-the-counter drugs (aspirin, tylenol, etc. are actually very toxic - take 20 tylenol and you're a dead man)
Keep in mind that you don't have to smoke marijuana to get high.....you can buy a vaporizer and inhale only vaporized THC; no smoke.
And of course you can COOK with it and simply eat it.
Marijuana is a **FAR** safer pain management alternative than opiates....etc.

there are plenty of things to talk about that are not illegal, music, TV, books, video games, EQ, other MMOs, sex, whatever, if doing dope is the only thing you have to talk about well then you have bigger problems in your life then the fact that you smoke dope.
also lets not forget that it is also illegal, no matter how you feel about it, at the end of the day it is illegal, and when you do drugs you are breaking the law.
with that in mind. would it be cool if in a group i just started to casually talk about how I enjoy abducting hookers and cutting them up and boiling their tits in beet juice? it is NEVER a good idea to broadcast that you are breaking the law.

if i get busted for robbing a bank , and tell the cop " hey man I think this law is retarded, I should be able to rob banks!" think hes going to let me go? hell no, I broke the law.
the law is the law regardless of how anyone feels about it, I love how people who smoke dope love to try and deflect that issue and dance around it " well it SHOULD be legal" or " the law is retarded" " other things are much worse" "xxxx is also illegal / not illegal and should be or shouldn't be" - sex being illegal in any position other than missionary has NOTHING to do with this.
never hear people who smoke dope fess up, you know how refreshing it would be to hear just one person say "say yup I broke the law and If i get caught with my hand in the cookie jar i deserve to be punished for not playing by the rules".

Yeah, I think pot culture is kind of annoying, but it really doesn't bother me if someone afk's to smoke pot unless they're so stoned they can't play well anymore. I've never tried pot or any illegal drug, but that's not because I'm against it in principle.

It does not bother me either but what does bother me is the constant non stop "oh I am sooooo high" "I need another bowl AFK" and things along this line.
when I play I like to have me some nice double vodka rocks but I never have to brag about or say anythign about how buzzed i am getting. If your gonna go smoke a bowl I could give a fuck less but gdi why you gotta brag about it?
Does it make you feel bigger or make your high better? I think not

I have 1st hand experiance on how smoking pot makes you dumber. I have smoked more pot in a year of my pot days that you will in your life and back in those days 30 joints was a realistic amount to smoke. and yes I am dumber for it and not afraid to admit it. Pot is not only a gateway drug but it does dumb you down. (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showpost.php?p=152015&postcount=128)

Thc works on the brain like this, basicly you have "hairs" or "receptors that stick out, like mushrooms that get covered in the thc. This act basicly slows down the transfer rate of certain brain actions.
It also goes away pretty quickly, and i can assure you you're not retarded today because you smoked 30 joints 30 years ago.

Wow your so much smarter than me, your argument of I do not agree with you makes me retarded is sooo inspiring. I bow to your high intellect.

Gatorade and peptobismal didnt work too well, since pepto only lasts 30 minutes, and i was puking every 30minutes.

yeah you can get your sugars elsewhere. there's a lot of foods we can do without but that doesn't make them a drug.

In all but two or three groups that I've had in the past week, at least one person in the group thought it was necessary to announce they were high as a kite.
You know what? I don't give a shit. Nobody else does, either.
What you do in your own home is your business and your right. I don't smoke pot and I think people that do are idiots — that's my business and my right. I won't impose my opinions on you in the context of a group, and conversely, you should stop broadcasting your personal habits just because you're an attention whore who's under the impression that it makes you look cool. It doesn't.
Edit: and yes, this belongs in R & F, I thought I was over there :)

Aside from the use of sports enhancement injections, I am straightedge. I don't drink or smoke and never have. I don't care if people smoke pot as long as its not around me personally and in game they dont get us killed. But yes it can get overdone with people having to tell everyone in the group their habits or having their name reflect said habit. Then again, A LOT of gamers are burnouts.
