Good post Nippie. Not the same everywhere. I can drive on my prescribed benzos all day long, but if they find pot in the car it turns into an issue.....messed up...
BTW. Hurt myself lots of times because I was blazed. I mean, I had to get stoned to do some of the shit we used to do, then got hurt doing it. Look at Jack Ass. Think those cats would have done half that shit if they hadn't been baked out of their skulls? Shopping cart wheels over the bush gets crushed by car...young Jack Asser wanna be now dead because he got stoned and acted the tard. Death by weed.
I am a manly man. I can do almost ANY repair work and have tested that many times with this house I am remolding. I know how to use almost ANY tool. However, I DO NOT use chainsaws for a reason. I am a stoner. I am always stoned. Saws, fine, no problem. Gas chain saw, no thank you. I got friends who work for beer and the chance of losing a limb to do that for me. Fixing the gutter the other week with my dad showed me why I have this rule. 10-12 feet at most, but when you got multiple tools, some electric, no one holding the ladder, and have almost fell back a few times, you get a sense of your limitations and why you have them.....
exactly....stoners are prone to accidents, you have to know where to draw the line...but lets not kid ourselves and think you smoke an oz of some dank and walk around perfectly fine...if you can, that shit aint dank, I don't care how long you been smoking I have found this to be related to strains too though, some I can work and function real well, others, staring at a screen waiting for the phone to ring
I don't know....if I smoked an OZ of dank to the head I might go all Dr. Suess and start using tools like I am thing 1 AND 2.
According to http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000145 279 people have died from marijuana between 1997 and 2005, although it is the secondary cause of death, not the primary cause. The info is in a graph about halfway down the page.
I'm the same way man, I will use any power tool out there with no worries but there's something about a chainsaw. I help my dad gather wood for the winter, cause screw the utility companies, and most of the time I'm hollering at him to not do whatever he's doing. He flails around in the Brush with it, gets his foot right next to where he's cutting, or cuts it in a bind and gets the saw stuck. I'm usually a nervous wreck by the time we're done. Or I take over cutting to "give him a break" chainsaws are nothing to play with if not sober, to many variables that can go wrong .
I run a metal lathe at my part-time gig. Always high. However, I did cut my zztop beard off 'cause I almost became part of the machine once.. ONCE. haa. Power tools no problem. If I ain't stoned, I lose motivation rather quickly. How's that for stereotype?
