"Brah, i gotta go smoke a bowl, brb dude" = "mom just told me to come in the kitchen for a PBJ and juicy-juice but I want to look cool so I'll pretend I do drugs."

BTW, pot is dangerous. Most of the studies that say it is not dangerous were from the 60's and often done by "researchers" with an axe to grind. Furthermore, it should be remembered that pot in the 60's is not the same as pot nowadays; selective breeding + massively more scientific growing methods have greatly increased the concentration of THC.

There are many sources which show the dangers of smoking pot, just look for them.
A basic resource here:
http://alcoholism.about.com/od/pot/a/effects.-Lya.htm
highlights:
"Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana"

"Scientists have found that regular marijuana smokers can experience the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers do"

"Marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers typically inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer, when smoking."

"Research indicates that THC impairs the body's immune system from fighting disease, which can cause a wide variety of health problems. One study found that marijuana actually inhibited the disease-preventing actions of key immune cells. Another study found that THC increased the risk of developing bacterial infections and tumors."

"Several studies have found that children born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy exhibit some problems with neurological development."

If you would like some of the actual research, check out the references included with this entry:

Smoking pot is fine - people who are against it need to chill out. You can still function well enough to play EQ high. The ones that annoy you while they are high.. would annoy you when they aren't high too.

The majority of people who get high are pathetic losers, there are still chill and successful people that get high.

People who smoke and brag about it are annoying little pricks.

People who claim it makes them better at things... shouldn't be bragging because that means you fucking suck at life. You would have to have some serious mental condition to not be able to concentrate sober. Being stoned dumbs you down and makes you react slower. Maybe if you are half retarded and your mind wonders when you are sober being high could limit you to only be able to think about 1 thing at a time... but that just means you are stupid.

What hippo said rings fairly true. I don't care if you're smoking pot, it's the people who tell their group "AFK GUYS!! PACKING ANOTHER BOWL!!! LOL I'M SO STONED!!"

Seriously though... You guys are too cool.

Actually, they have had cherry pie since the 70s.

McDonald's pies are actually turnovers and come in a choice of apple, cherry and other seasonal or limited-time-only flavors such as pumpkin pie and haupia pie in Hawaii. In Canada, in the 1970s, blueberry was standard, as was the Great Fruit Pie. During some seasonal promotions, cherry and strawberry are an available pie flavor in Canada. Currently McDonald's is selling raspberry pies, for a limited time. In Thailand and Guam, Taro pie is featured occasionally. Other regional flavors include Coconut, Holiday, and Tuna (all in Guam as limited-time), and Corn in Japan. In Mexico, cheese pie is available all year round.
