Wow, must be nice to look into such a shiny, spotless mirror all the time!

Here's an (English) educational film for you:

Great video and you have the accolade of posting the first video on here that I have ever watched all the way through!

I still have 'zero tolerance' beliefs though. I don't think you should get in a car with ANYTHING in your system. Lose people dear to you in a car accident and you too may feel the same.

And as for my shiny, spotless mirror - it's beautiful and I love it. Perhaps you should get a dose of social responsibilty on a cloth of personal morals and use your elbow grease of knowledge that you are the best person you can be and you too could have one just as shiny.

Oh, and fuck off.

using one test subject is hardly a test nor educational.

you can't tell me that after smoking a joint your not impaired.

Pot has such a varied response in different people that any decent study would need thousands of tests.

that being said id much rather get into a car with a veteran stoner than a 12 beer deep alcoholic.

Got pressured to smoke from a bong after saying "no" numerous times. Next thing I know, I am receiving cpr on the floor by paremedics. I pass out again, and wake up in the ER 3 hours later. (that's a VERY quick summary ).

Holy mixed message - glad you liked the vid, but wow, touched a touchy spot, non?

How about people who drive and yak on their cellphones? Or peruse the newspaper? How 'bout women who drive and apply makeup at the same time? Come to think of it, we should definitely set up a screening process to measure attention spans against government standards to see if people are fit to drive - that would solve all and any driving issues.

It isn't social responsibility that's the issue - it's personal - accountability to one's self, knowing one's own limitations in certain situations and abiding them. That takes a level of self-awareness that you'll be hard pressed to find in the majority of the population - plain and simple, people tend to be selfish and will often put their (often unconscious) base needs and compulsions before all others.

In any case, the notion of being able to control anything besides your own reaction to situations is an illusion. Sorry if you've lost a loved one to an accident that involved someone who was intoxicated (which is what I assume you're alluding to in your post), but your anger about the situation is hurting you more than anyone who might have been involved in the incident.

And don't worry, I'm sure the OPP won't find the pandas you've stashed in your basement - your spotless record is safe and preserved...

Another High School Story...

My buddy who is older got a full scholarship at a school in Virginia for baseball, so i go visit him. He's lost a shit load of weight since i last say him and is the definition of a pothead..

anyway, he lived with some other players including this kid from africa on a basketball schloarship who has never smoked weed EVER. So my buddy and his roomates are rolling massive spliffs 5 of them and we sat at a table and smoked clockwise.

After round 1 we are all demolished, i ask the African kid how he feels and he shrugs and says "I feel nothing". Round 2 same routine, then i ask the African kid how he feels he says " I feel nothing".

After Round 3 I ask him still he feels "nothing"

Round 4 finishes i can barley keep my tounge in my mouth and my eyes from rolling and I ask him and he says "I feel nothing"

I had enough. I started drilling him being a little bit of an asshole and saying he's a liar, he's smoked before etc... he looks at me and says "I feel nothing, no arms, no legs, no head, no anything man".

The table explodes with laughter.

Then he tells s his "body shivers from the inside" and we are on the fucking floor rolling!!

HA!

back in grade 12.. had a regular second semester day of skipping the afternoon and blazing in the parking lot.. school ends and i realize i have to go get stuff from my locker. i think my eyes are too red, but my asshole friends insist i look fine and tell me to go in..

my teacher in a class i skipped happens to be by my locker, and he's one of those guitar playing pseudo-intellectual "cool" teachers who like to be assholes occasionally.. he comes up to me and grabs my shoulders with his arms fully extended, and starts looking me in the eyes asing me how i'm doing, and says "you made a poor decision today, friend" and a bunch of bullshit and walks away. then i see my other teacher was watching the conversation, i think how could this get any worse.. but luckily she was completely cool about it.. but i fucking hate those situations.. i wish there was a strain of weed that makes non-high people fuck off

You're confusing the two. My mirror comment wasn't anything to do with this - I assumed by the 'all the time' comment that you were alluding to my other beliefs in other threads.

Not mixed messages, I appreciate that video and it does make me feel *slightly* better about all the people I know that drive stoned BUT doesn't change my mind. No mixed message, just an acknowledgement of the information you provided. And I love Quentin Wilson.

I'm not angry anymore, I just think it is PATHETIC. As I stated.

And yes, people ARE selfish and I hate it. We live on this planet together, respect that.

I agree that most people on the roads shouldn't be allowed a licence. That infuriates me too. This thread isn't about that though so why mention it?

We used to cruise after we were high and look for adventure, usually cruise in the country...I've always been the paranoid one, we were driving and we thought we were lost, there was a bunch of adbanded houses...seemed like scene from a horror movie so i was freaking out.

I screamed and my friends got scared and looked back at me and said what? I pointed at a sign on a post that said "Invisible Fence", then they screamed to.

I thought we had just entered a forcefield or combine of some sort.

It turns out it was an advert.

The sign looked like a street sign or posting of a confidential area. It was much more sinister looking than this:

PARANOIA THA DESTROYA !!!!
