There's no such thing as a gateway drug, only gateway people. Looky here, most of the world has consumed alcohol at one point of time. According to the gateway theory, being exposed to a mind-altering substance will cause a person to seek out "harder" drugs. Alky-hol is much more psychoactive than weed. So considering that a majority of the world has consumed alky-hol, a great deal of them would now be in that Wilmington, NC alley by Erock's house doing the crack. That ain't the case.
Hey, those who support prohibition of any substance... How long do ya need to realize that prohibition don't work. Well, it works for some of the alternative motives of the government. Take heroin... Please HA!! LOL LMAO LMFAO Henny Youngman just pissed himself. Anyways, the stuff's been illegal since 1914 - The Harrison Narcotics Tax Act. How did that turn out? Stuff's more potent, cheaper and more available than ever. Actually, now there's barely any straight D out there as it is all synthetics. All our popular drugs of ill-abuse have been illegal for quite some time, long before Nixon's War on Drugs, which was really aboot going after Nixon's enemies - the black militant types(the inner city heroin craze of the late 60's and 70's) and the white anti-war protestors with their weed, LSD and speed. Prohibition doesn't work. Plain and simple. Maybe in another hundred years some of y'all will figure that out. Besides, the whole world is on drugs: Booze, Ambien, Xanax, smokes, coffee... "I don't do drugs, my Xanax is prescribed to me. I need it"
Problem is, most don't know if they are a gateway people, until it is too late. It's the same analogy as, it's not the gun that kills, it's the person having pulled the trigger.
Yep, they don't know until it is too late. Hey, the world is a dangerous place. Ah, well, there's some clues. If you're a kid and fascinated by people smoking and drinking. If you feel drawn to it all. If you and your boys are snaking cigarettes and smoking them in the woods. But at that age one is too dim to realize the implications. But it don't matter. Nothing matters. Oh, people kid themselves thinking that things matter. But they don't. It is what it is, and was what it was. The world chugs on oblivious that you were even here.
word I love the people who say they don't do drugs as they start the day with some adderall, swill coffee and smoke cigs all morning, switch to Mt. Dew in the afternoon, insulin shot after lunch for their type 2 dieabeetus, and finish off the day with a couple 4 lokos and some ambien. They are the ones locking up my friends for getting pulled with a seed and a couple stems.
Most don't realize decaf coffee (what I drink) contains a small % of caffeine. Sometimes I drink it, other times I abstain for long periods of time, years even. Being that I abstain from most foods/drinks with caffeine, when I start drinking my decaf again, I can instantly detect its presence and the effects.
Spend some time on the border, the southwest is swimming in schwag. You won't see white folk smoking it though. And no doubt they could grow da kine, but they're not. I don't know why but I have a couple of guesses. This was my point. Most advocates for legalizing weed have stated that cartel violence could be stemmed by legalizing it here in the States. That's foolish thinking, because of the reasons you stated above and I agree with you. Cartels gonna be cartels. Either way, I don't give a shit. I'm gonna smoke it whether it's legal or not. Let the cartels off themselves, they need to be culled and it keeps the business lean and efficient.
Meth. Meth is the only thing coming from Mexico. We need to lock up all the meth addicts/homeless. Dry up customers. No more import. No more zombies in town.
I get high on life. Ya farking morons.......... Sorry, but....I don't smoke, neither pot nor cigarettes. I don't do drugs unless injured sufficiently to be prescribed something. Then I dump the leftovers. I rarely drink alcohol. Rare beer 2x/year (may have one this weekend.) Been like that for 45 years. I am 67 yrs of age and can still get out and out surf all of you. And that is because I don't consume the garbage you all ingest, inhale, snort, mainline, and stick up your butts. You hopheads that do all the drugs & booze etc will never see age 60; apparently you do not want to. That is okay with me--less morons out in the water. Have a cigar; get one from Bill Clintons collection....... Toodle le do, have a nice long week end. I mowed my lawn already in preparation for my family coming to visit. In a few minutes I am going on a 2 hour cycle ride, as it is flat around here, flatter than my junior-high school girlfriend. Tomorrow, I will start my early morning paddles on my longboard. SUPs are twat yachts, nothing more....never will I be on one.
yea, i'm sure in the bum-phuck towns they are there. I remmember the days when i'd ask for a qtr, not knowing what i'm getting, only to be told it's like $25. double up was my natural response
swag... Man, its been so long. I think in like 2007 I ended up with some. I rolled it all into a fatty for nostalgic reasons. It gave me a fcuking headache. Never again.
