 Billy Bong Thorton vs. The Cookie Monster | | By: JSkills | Published: 09/12/2000 | | |  |

| Today I came across something I found to be somewhat humorous while searching for some info on a silly movie. It was the website for "MA" or Marijuana Anonymous. At first, I wasn’t even sure if it was for real or a clever satire. Of course I understand the need for AA, NA, and GA since drugs like alcohol and cocaine and behaviors like compulsive gambling have been known to ruin more than a few lives. But a recovery group for people who have a life-threatening addiction solely to marijuana?
|  |
So let’s play along. If you answer "yes" to even one of these questions, chances are you have a problem with marijuana:
- Has smoking pot stopped being fun?
- Do you ever get high alone?
- Is it hard for you to imagine a life without marijuana?
- Do you find that your friends are determined by your marijuana use?
- Do you smoke marijuana to avoid dealing with your problems?
- Do you smoke pot to cope with your feelings?
- Does your marijuana use let you live in a privately defined world?
- Have you ever failed to keep promises you made about cutting down or controlling your dope smoking?
- Has your use of marijuana caused problems with memory, concentration, or motivation?
- When your stash is nearly empty, do you feel anxious or worried about how to get more?
- Do you plan your life around your marijuana use?
- Have friends or relatives ever complained that your pot smoking is damaging your relationship with them?
Ok, so maybe I did answer "sometimes" to a couple of questions, but does this mean I am doomed? Not in my best estimation. I’ll admit that some people may simply love to do nothing but sit on the couch watching daytime TV and hitting the four foot straight shot US Water Pipe, but isn’t it really a matter of them not having any motivation to begin with? I cannot begin to count the number of extremely intelligent and successful people I know that are daily marijuana users. Marijuana quite simply is not near as harmful to the human body as the legal drugs alcohol and tobacco. This I can even prove with facts:
Number of American deaths per year that result directly or
primarily from the following selected causes nationwide,
according to World Almanacs, Life Insurance Actuarial (death)
rates, and the last 20 years of U.S. Surgeon Generals' reports.
(figures are for 1988 from the federal government's Bureau of
Mortality Statistics and the National Institute on Drug Abuse....
| Tobacco |
340,000 to 425,000 |
| Alcohol (not including 50% of all highway deaths and 65% of all murders) |
150,000 |
| Aspirin (Including deliberate overdose) |
180 to 1,000+ |
| Caffeine (from stress, ulcers and triggering irregular heartbeats, etc) |
1,000 to 10,000 |
| 'Legal' Drug overdose (Deliberate or accidental) from legal prescribed or patent medicines
or from mixing with alcohol (eg. Valium with
Alcohol) |
14,000 to 27,000 |
| Illicit Drug Overdose (deliberate or accidental) from all illegal drugs |
3,800 to 5,200 |
| Theopoline (Pharmaceutical Drug legally prescribed
for asthma)
Theopoline is also responsible for 6,500
hospital admissions and 1,000 cases of
permanent brain damage per year. |
50 |
| Marijuana |
0 (ZERO) |
Marijuana users also have the same or lower incidence of murders and highway deaths and accidents than the general non-marijuana-
using population as a whole. Crancer Study, UCLA: U.S. funded
($6 million) First and Second Jamaican studies, 1968 to 1974;
Costa Rican Studies, 1980 to 1982; et al.
Before you write me off as an opinionated fool in a drug haze, please realize that I am fully aware of the facts regarding marijuana effects on humans. There are a number of places that will actually go so far as to tell you there are relatively none or very little harmful effects associated with marijuana use. Some point out positive effects as well. I don't discount them, but let’s not get carried away here. It seems to me that the fact that smoke is going in your lungs simply cannot be "good" for you over the long haul. Even the most basic of studies certainly confirm this. The rest of the facts are less clear.
So to address this problem, I’d like to offer a solution. Don’t smoke weed. Instead, try this recipe that I guarantee will not disappoint:
Herbal Butter
¼ oz. dried herbs
2 sticks of butter
Melt butter in a double boiler. Add herbs and cook on simmer for 3-5 hours stirring occasionally. Strain herb-butter mixture through cheese cloth into a separate bowl, squeezing out all butter. Refrigerate till firm.
|
Apply this "herbal butter" to your favorite toll house cookie recipe and presto – you’ll always be one cookie away from a stress free high, unclouded by worries over the health of your lungs. I guess getting old means becoming more responsible. I’m a real model citizen, aren’t I?

It's not in the interest of the drug war industry to lose it's objective. Also, the big "legal" drug companies wouldn't profit from pot as anyone can "make" it. It's a fine analgesic and relaxant. Prozax users could save money and health by switching. It's being grown by the Canadian government now for medicinal purposes. Here in BC, defacto legal as they simply don't bother to bust and charge users anymore. Not worth it eh?

It seems to me that you are easily offended. Unless you came to my fan page to insult me I wouldn't consider it "littering". I went to yours 'cos I thought it was more considerate to you(that way you needn't come back here). But don't worry, I won't go back unless I have something that will please your ears. Have a few more cookies and don't overreact so much. I was only trying to be kind (man, more and more I see myself in the Fan in the Spotlight -or even worse logged out by you; cool it please!).
You are not affected. Good for you. However I'd like to see that scientifically tested. Actually in those studies you mentioned previously they said it affected habitual consumers. Once again you take whatever subscribe your opinion and disregard the rest.
"There's nothing worse than tense, impatient,..." I agree; so what? Did I say that's the way it should be done? Nop. You're going back to presenting something "worse" which will make your "bad" "good". But it doesn't work that way.
Others in the street. I said that to assert the point that we are poor juries for ourselves. Let me be literary here: a Greek fable told that Zeus put two pouches on us; one on our chest and one on our back. The one on the chest contains our virtues and the one on the back our defects. So when we walk through life we see our own virtues. We also see others' defects, but not ours. That's what I meant.
Non of us are immune to what other people think about us but no, I don't rule my life on that.
Your boss, the school bus driver, the doctor. Well that's exactly the point. If weed's so good and unharmful and should be legal and all that, you shouldn't have any reservations about those situations (and they are not extreme, they happen constantly everyday), but as you know it does change your perception of reality you don't want anybody to be high if you're gonna be involved in any way with those persons. Again it's the Greek fable: "I'm fine when I'm high but I don't trust you when you are, even if you assure you are as fine as myself".
And no you'd not rather them be high; you'd rather them be not there at all! You'd feel fucking nervous anyway!
Making it legal. There's a mistake on my side here. I didn't know it was illegal in the US to grow your own stuff. It isn't in my country. So you're right there. As you can see in my first post down below, I said "grow it at home".
Kids. My point is, you weed users go around saying "pot is so good, everybody should try it, you don't use it?you don't know what your missing..." OK, so at what age should we start? Should it be promoted at school? If not, why not?
My experience with pot? The usual one: teenager, beerbash, joints, sex (unfortunately in that order). Sometimes it was cool, sometimes not. But I grew up and now I can have a fucking good weekend without altering my state of mind (can you? When you are having fun you feel it's not complete if you don't have your dose?).
Last but not least. You'd take me more seriously if I quit smoking? Oops! You goofed there, JSkills! I may not share your opinions about the subject but I respect them. Do you mean I don't have to take you seriously until you quit pot?
P.S.: the "like "too much LDS in the sixties" -get it?" comment I didn't understand. What do you mean?E-chuta!

First off - keep your comments where they belong. No need to litter my fan page with something that belongs here - under the article it actually pertains to.
That said - you do have some good points. And I guess you didn't explain yourself clearly enough, because this time around it made more sense to me. Maybe it was me the first time.
The fact is - I personally am not adversely affected by TCH when driving a motor vehicle. This is how it is for me and for many others. Sorry you don't understand this. As I already said "I'm not saying this is how it is for everyone". But try to get past it - it's for the best.
Driving "bad" is not just a matter of reaction time - it is also a matter of state of mind. There's nothing worse than a tense, impatient, agressive, and easily angered driver who will cause much grief to everyone else on the road. Just something else to consider.
As far as others on the street "politely declining my invitation" to drive them somewhere - so what? Is the average person on the street's opinion how we should live our lives? If it is for you - that's sad. Also, if I told my boss I'd be slightly high while working on a giant software development project, I doubt he'd love it. But when the finished product is a success, no one's complaining.
Now your extreme examples I cannot argue with. No, I don't want my doctor opening me up if he's high and I'd rather my kid not be on the schoolbus with the high driver. It still depends on the individual (if I knew one of my friends was the schoolbus driver and he was high I wouldn't care), but you can't know everyone well enough to make this determination so the safe answer is "no". But again I'd rather someone be high than drunk in one of your extreme examples here. And amazingly alcohol is legal while marijuana is not.
Making weed legal, despite where you're dreaming up your scenarios, would not make prices higher. Marijuana is a weed. It will grow anywhere. It would cost the average person nothing to grow it for their own consumption - like growing tomato plants in the back yard garden. This is another thing that makes it unlike alcohol and tobacco, which require all kinds of processing before use. I could buy it at the store if I were lazy or grow it myself for nothing. Drug dealers would simply be unnecessary.
Making weed legal would completely eliminate drug dealers and all the crime and money spent fighting this "crime" that goes with it. Alcohol was once illegal and when it became legel - what happened to all the speakeasy's and bootleggers? Not even a fraction of them left is there? Sorry but you couldn't be more wrong on this one.
I do agree with your thoughts about kids. I never once mentioned that I thought weed was good for kids - so I'm not sure why you keep bringing them up over and over. My point was - and still is - if alcohol and tobacco is legal, so should marijuana since it is clearly less harmful.
Also, I do hope you quit smoking cigarettes. You are headed for an almost certain premature end with lung cancer. I've seen it too many times in my life. Why don't you quit first then preach to me about weed? I'd honestly take you more seriously.
Also one last question - just how much personal experience do you have with marijuana?

It is obvious that I didn't explain myself clearly enough (or you had too many of your cookies).
I still haven't met anyone saying they drive bad. We are not very good judging ourselves. Especially in that respect. I think I'm a very good driver; I'm sure you think the same about yourself. Oddly enough, sometimes when I'm driving with my wife doesn't share my opinion. She's clearly wrong, 'cos I KNOW I'm an excelent driver...
So how would you say you drive bad when you're stoned? You should try this: go up to someone in the street and say: "I'm going to drive you home whilst I'm stoned but hey, no worries! I'm so fucking good at driving when I'm high!" I guess that someone will politely decline the invitation.
I've gone to the links you said and read them. They say what I said: it affects your reaction time. And you need that when driving (go back to my rant and read what I say about that). And keep in mind that they were "laboratory tests" so to speak; when you know you are being tested you double your efforts to succeed. Everyday actions is a different matter. When you get in your car stoned, do you think "I smoked, so I have to be more cautions. Wait a minute! The amount of pot I smoked is higher that what they gave those people in the study; I must not drive 'cos I don't have scientific data on what may happen!"?. I guess you don't; you just proudly drive because "I'm so fucking good driving when I'm high!".
But studies are a lost matter. I'm sure I could find lots of anti-pot studies and present them to you. But as you are convinced of your opinion they would be useless. Those two studies you told me about are enough for you. Or you have come to your conclusions after reading many anti and pro studies? I guess not. You're just a weed user and from that point on you justify your actions with as many opinions as possible. We are all the same.
The school bus driver? Yeah, "the individual" and all that you say. Very poetic. You wouldn't let your kiddy in that bus, that's for sure.
Drug dealers. I don't know how much you pay for your supply but I'm sure you'd love to have it cheaper. Free? yeah, that's even better. What I meant is: we make it legal and it's sold by the government or private enterprises. That would mean higher prices. Do you think drug dealers would say "oh, it's legal now. Let's stop selling it and loose money". They wouldn't. And are you telling me you would be a good citizen and pay your taxes when buying a packet of joints? No sir, you would go around the corner to meet your regular dealer, who has it cheaper.
Besides governments spend so much money in fighting against cigarettes and alcohol and now we're going to tell them to manage another unhealthy product? Get a grip!
I don't want my surgeon to be high nor drunk. The question you haven't answered is: do YOU want him to be high? And please do think about the situation.
And why are you always comparing it to worse drugs? I said that alcohol and cigarettes are horrible drugs (even tho I smoke). But I also said that worse is an augmentative for bad. Any of them. Otherwise they would be given to kids the same way vitamins are (something should be said about that also, but that's a different matter). By the way, have you already started giving your cookies to your kids? Or to your relatives' kids? Or to your friends' kids? They must be eager to give them such wonderful substance.
The legal drugs:
I think we must distinguish between cigarettes and alcohol.
You smoke ten ciggies and nothing happens. You have ten beers and that a different story.
The problem with tobacco is that it kills you in the end, so everything should be done to help us quit and not let the kids get the habit. No smoking in public places (although sometimes it pisses me off badly), no ads, higher insurances...the lot. Just the opposite of what you joint smokers promote.
Alcohol affects you, so we shouldn't drink when it may risk somebody else. Make it illegal? No. It's been part of the human culture since we came down the trees. But we should promote moderate use.
OK, JSkills. I could go on, but I have't had lunch and I'm off to it. Next time read my rants more thoroughly so that I don't need to repeat myself. And as you're not going to bother replying in my fan page (in fact you seldom bother to reply to the rants posted in your fan page), I guess this is the end of the discussion. Keep up the good work at Goofball. You're the best!E-chuta!

People who smoke marijuana are not bums. You must be an addict to some weird drug to say so.
But who of us would let his little kid ride the school bus if you know the driver is stoned? Fatigue and alcohol is worse as regards reaction time. Granted, Oliver. But worse is an augmentative for bad. And pot affects your reaction time badly. You may not cause an accident whilst driving stoned, but that doesn't mean you will never get involved in an accident caused by somebody else; and that's when you need reaction time.
You smoke pot because of the effect it has on you, otherwise you would't do it. So it DOES affect you. And when driving you need to be alert and concentrated, which is just the opposite effect we look for in marijuana.
Making it legal? I'm tired of hearing that sophism. Drug dealers want to be rich the easy way. If they wanted to be legal and pay taxes they would do something else. I mean, cigarettes are legal. Does that stop smuggling? And they get their stocks out of the work of extremely poor people all around the world who break their backs working for them 'cos they have no option, and then get paid nearly nothing. Grow it at home if you want, but don't enrich these motherfuckers.
OK. As it's a benefit for everybody let's make it as legal and widespread as cigarettes or alcohol, but do not complain afterwards; smoking pot is not the same as smoking cigarettes (which is a horrible drug as well). I can't imagine any of you saying "oh doctor, you just had a joint! So now that you are relaxed please take the scalpel, open up my chest and practice that triple by-pass operation you do so well!". I'm sure you wouldn't mind if he had a cigarette before operating.
And as it is pure gold for our society, at what age should I start giving it to kids? Shall we start giving two years olds pot cookies?
If a had a 13 years old son and catch him in the bathroom smoking pot, what would I say ("Thank God it's pot. If it were a cigarette I would really be angry! Please come downstairs and pass the doobie")?
E-chuta!

I'm just going to take a moment and rant with all you fellow potheads.
First: Marijuana has been proven to do more good than harm yet our elected government still classifies this as an illegal substance (Controled Substance) to be exact.
You ask why is this, well how many jobs does it save if it stays illegal, how much more money can they tax you...........
the list goes on but my time to leave my job is near, yes I do have a job a well paying job, but I still smoke pot. And I'm happy!
This to the panzy anonymous who feels that all of us are 100% bums,
GET A JOB YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE AND STOP WASTING TAX PAYERS MONEY!!!!
maybe you should look into the mirror and see who your triing to fool.

that i log on as annonymous to contribute to this rant. I have several nicks but anything other than a negative view on this subject results in loss of employment or possible deportation to name just a few consequences. Its fine if you are self employed but for most(who work for someone) you are expected to follow the norm. But IS this the norm? Not in my humble opinion. Most folk i speak to say they have or do like Mary.So the norm is invalid but will never be changed until honesty rules. It did rule once, during prohibition, when even moronic self serving politicians could see that cow towing to psychotic religious fanatics was creating a stronger mafia and that many, if not most citizens, would now become criminals.It was an uninforceable and unpopular law.
The same is true today with mary.She travels in the same circles as crack, heroin and other substances that most will agree are a bad thing.Buy the one and you can then buy the other.
The mafia etc that are primary importers and distributors of the weed grow richer and stronger. The public pay more in taxes to fight the importation of something they want. Crazy is the least offensive way to describe this situation.
I did take offense to the one ,also annonymous, respondent, that claimed all dopers were 100% bums.
Hmmmm. Let me think here. I work on mainframe computers and have done so for 27 years. My products result in the speedy resolution and restoration of power outages caused by tornadoes,hurricanes and ice storms. From the Gulf to the Great lakes. I have been married and monogamous for 25 years. A 100% bum?
By what measure annoymous moron?
Whoever that person was, he/she is an idiot at best or hopefully just someone out to bait a rise. By any measure i think most would agree i am a productive member of society, have a strong moral and personal life and succeeded in most things.
I agree all are not affected the same by mary. The Zork on the old message board is a mary lover. Is the zork better or worse as a result of mary? I cannot answer that and have a horrible suspicion that it could be worse if he was less stoned.
So my humble opinion is we need a politician brave enough to take on the unholy church and media, have the guts to stand up for honesty and decriminilize mary. She is after all a good lover(or aid thereto), ever loyal and sweet, with few vices, a solace and an inspiration.So pass that doobie and stop bogarting it......

CANNABIS MAY MAKE YOU A SAFER DRIVER
TAKING the high road may not be so dangerous after all. Ministers are set to be embarrassed by government-funded research which shows that driving under the influence of drugs makes motorists more cautious and has a limited impact on their risk of crashing.
In the study, conducted by the Transport Research Laboratory, grade A cannabis specially imported from America was given to 15 regular users. The doped-up drivers were then put through four weeks of tests on driving simulators to gauge reaction times and awareness.
Regular smokers were used because previous tests in America using first-timers resulted in the volunteers falling over and feeling ill. The laboratory found its guinea pigs through what it described as a "snowballing technique" - one known user was asked to find another after being promised anonymity and exemption from prosecution agreed with the Home Office.
Instead of proving that drug-taking while driving increased the risk of accidents, researchers found that the mellowing effects of cannabis made drivers more cautious and so less likely to drive dangerously.
Although the cannabis affected reaction time in regular users, its effects appear to be substantially less dangerous than fatigue or drinking. Research by the Australian Drugs Foundation found that cannabis was the only drug tested that decreased the relative risk of having an accident.
The findings will embarrass ministers at the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) who commissioned the study after pressure from motoring organisations and anti-drug campaigners. Lord Whitty, the transport minister, will receive the report later this month.
Last week police revealed details of new drug-driving tests to be administered by the roadside, which were received with some amusement. They require suspected drug-drivers to stand on one leg, lean back and touch their nose with their eyes closed, and to count to 30 silently with their eyes shut. This is apparently difficult for those on a drug trip.
The advertising company McCann-Erickson has already prepared a television campaign using Pulp's song Sorted for Es and Whizz, the slogan "Never drive on drugs" and the pay-off line "then you come down".
However, if the findings are less than frightening on the effects of marijuana, they may convince ministers to put more money into raising driver awareness of fatigue. Tiredness is now blamed for causing 10% of all fatal accidents, compared with 6% for alcohol and 3% for drugs.
A low-key radio campaign will be launched tomorrow warning drivers to take breaks.
The report's surprising conclusions will not sway organisations such as the RAC, which believes there is incontrovertible evidence that drug-driving is a growing menace. DETR statistics published in January showed a six-fold increase in the number of people found to be driving with drugs in their system after fatal road accidents. The figure jumped from 3% in 1989 to 18%.
Dr Rob Tunbridge, the report's author, refused to reveal his findings before they were published but said: "If you were to ask me to rank them in order of priority, fatigue is the worst killer, followed by alcohol, and drugs follow way behind in third."
Tunbridge admitted that the effect of drugs differed with the individual, the amount taken, the environment they were taken in and the point at which you tested reactions.
Cocaine users are known to be alert drivers when they first take the drug, but then they have a tendency to fall asleep at the wheel. The particular problem with cannabis is that it stays in a person's system for up to 30 hours but its effects wear off within a few hours.

I appreciate the fact that Mary Jane is a friend to many sucessful and intelligent people - it also should be decriminalized (Today) - but the sad fact remains that with some folks, weed just takes away ambition and drive - sure I could do something else but let me pack a binger or three - two hours later you are still there watching "Cable Guy" for the fourth time on cable - perhaps you are intrigued by an infomercial - is this wrong? hell no, but it can get a little lame at times.

Back Up, Back Up, Back Up
How many times have you been told to back up your hard drive, your photos, your mp3s ... your porn? I spend enough time online each day that I should know better, but noooooo. Do I heed this advice? Of course not. Why? Because it would never happen to me. Until about six months ago.
