I would guess 4 to 1 or more.

I’m sure we got 100% of the facts of that case. And, since you want us to feel sorry for the poor black person, in their own lingo, ‘Don’t start nuttin, won’t be nuttin.’

Tried it back in college but didn't like the way it made me feel. No interest in getting high but I used a small amount twice on two different occasions, 3 and 5 years ago, for muscle spasms in my upper back. They would hit me every few years since my 20s. Usually I'd have to take a month or two of prescribed muscle relaxers which made me feel groggy all the time. With a little bit of quality wacky backy on two nights just before bed, I could feel the muscles loosening up and releasing.

This is just anecdotal information with no science. If I get muscle spasms again I'll definitely try marijuana before going to the doctor for a couple of months of muscle relaxers. Hopefully I don't get them again. It has been the longest period without the spasms.

In Colorado this summer, wife used a small container of gummies made from pot that had THC and CBD plus maybe something else to treat some temporary health related insomnia for a couple of weeks right before bed. She would take like a 1/3 of a gummy. They did help her sleep. Then she was done with them.

I believe there may be some benefits to that plant but like with any medicinal drug, could be subject to misuse and abuse. We have used it no different than any other herbal medicine. No need to use it again.


It has also helped some people with Parkinson’s Disease.

I’m just waiting for the ball to drop with the marijuana psychosis from the THC levels in weed today. It will catch up to users sooner or later and once the damage is done, it’s done. I already know several folks whose adult kids have gone off the deep end because of it. Unless they go live in a cave, it will be everyone’s problem.

You’d be amazed by what else you find thanks to the odor of marijuana in a vehicle.

I'm 65 when does this marijuana psychosis from the high THC levels kick in

I didn't know you were that old. Your posts make you sound a lot younger.

when you turn 64

There still has yet to be stated a valid argument against the legalization of weed in this thread.

Here you go:
Moral decay has not progressed far enough in Texas to cow down to slackers and addicts except urban liberal crap holes. Texans want better than that for their families and the future of Texas. That is and has always been why it is illegal. When moral decay falls far enough that it becomes the majority, it will be legalized. There in lies the basis for liberal crap holes leading the way. Take an honest look at the body of work from dope heads vs. non users. Walking around in a drug induced addled state diminishes productivity, ambition, and judgment. I have read posts by members on THF (whose posts lead me to the conclusion they are dope smokers), about brilliant high achievers who are pot heads. That picture does not match what I have observed in my lifetime. I see people like Ricky Williams, Britney Griner, and Hunter Biden. Screwups that do dumb stuff until it gets them in trouble. People who think they are smarter than everyone. Dumbed down people who don’t even realize the world laughs at them and what they are.

Yeah, that’s it in a nutshell.

Smokey Bear nailed it!

Well Said

Why would we want the whole state to look like Dallas? Or when we give that inch we start looking like Oregon or Colorado and it not for the scenery

So when they legalize alcohol we reached a level of moral decay, to slackers and addicts....You view of that is the same? I'm not arguing with you, just trying to better understand your view.

I made no comment about alcohol. The comments I made were in response to weed laws. Specifically in response to Tactical Cowboy. Stated plainly and easily understood.

No one wants to smell your crappy weed all damn day. Most weed smokers have no respect for others or self control to wait until they’re home. Go to a Vegas, smells like one big skunk.

I know you didn't mention alcohol, I did. Just curious if your view of that getting legalized is the same as weed.

They should regulate where you can smoke so others don't have to smell it, like cigarettes. I see people smoking cigarettes and pot at the dart rail stations, that gets on my nerves it is supposed to be no smoking.

No.

So your view is different for alcohol, it was not a moral decay, and if we could rewind the clock to those days, you would be on the side of "just legalize it"? Right?

None of it is good for you. By contrast, nobody likes a sloppy ol' drunk, either.

I bet great great great great Smokey Bear would have said yes.

I know right..

I don’t like weed and have never used it, not sure there is a good argument for legalizing it….however I can find a logical reason for it being illegal, especially if you are for alcohol remaining legal.

Every argument for weed being illegal is the same argument for making alcohol illegal.

At least cannabis has potential and current medical uses.

Jesus and all the disciples drank wine. Christians have drank wine during communion for thousands of years. I’m not talking about drunkards. I’ve already said I support medicinal use of marijuna under the supervision of a physician. To my knowledge recreational use of pot is solely to get high. That’s just not my scene. I like to have my wits and raised my son the same way. I’m not much of a drinker either but I do have a beer now and then. It’s ok with me if we disagree. I don’t want anything to do with street drugs.

You’ve convinced me. Let’s repeal alcohol.
