Leonhart is a dried up angry bitch who needs to get ass fucked repeatedly until the bitchiness and uptight attitude is gone. She is pissed that "reefer madness" didn't work and the truth is finally being accepted

 

Yeah more people die of alcohol related deaths each year (75,000) than we lost in Vietnam in the whole conflict (58,000) over 7 years.


Well said Res. Hear him! Hear him!

 

:icon_scratch: no wonder when our kids become teenagers they think adults are idiots.

 

Ok Resin, I'll vote for you when you run for president. :coolbounce:


Unfortunatly until pot becomes part of the mainstream this is the stupid crap our politicians and uneducated people will continue to believe. Uggg!


:redbong: better.

 

with a 3yr old and an infant about to be born in the next few weeks, I for one see the point DEA is making but theyre just uneducated/unwilling to learn vs what reality shows


I know and see the effect smoking too much has had on me alone and I see anyones viewpoint on that topic...I'll never let my kids see or know I smoke, why?? cuz I think anything that's alters your brain chemistry has lifetime effects and if they start early on before their mind is fully developed, my guess is that it'll have dire lifelong restrictions on personel progress......how? I don't know, im not a doctor/scientist but ive lived a storied life and see what major negative effects its had on me........I feel the same on drinking, just like many of us, I grew up with a grandfather that destroyed his family with booze, my girls DAD died at 42 from liver failure due to high volumes of alcohol from age 11....the conversation is endless on those 2 topics


if theres 1 member here that is "cool" with their kids smoking weed before say age 20, then your a major fuckin loser of a parent and need to re-evaluate your thinking on being a role model, despite any of your accomplishments in your own life


I didn't smoke till after I was 19 and could handle my own life...Ive always said that..I used the drug, the drug didn't use me..I came from a very dark place in life and it helped me open my mind to things that weren't so apparent in a sober situation, drinking is poison to my body so I never did, but weed helped me find myself and directed me towards specific goals at a certain point in my life, now I smoke for no reason at all, just a habit I guess


I know my view makes me the odd man out in this discussion

 

I don't now where you all went to high school but those numbers seem INCREDIBLY LOW compared to where I went in the late 80's....


Was more like 75% that drank and smoked. Hell, even the valedictorian I dated puffed and got white girl wasted.


You'd think they'd tout those figures and say they're winning the war on drugs....but, then again, those numbers aren't really indicative of any honesty on a DEA survey anyway...especially from participants..

 

I always tell the truth on a DEA survey.

 

There were only about ten of us in my high school between all four grades that toked. I am sure there are others like mine screwing up the statistics for what the normal high school pot consumption looks like.

 

Yes. I suppose from Salt Lake City area high schools or wherever like that, it may average out some in the real world.


Factor in inner city numbers, and suburban public schools like I went to...IDK.


12% seems reaaallly skewed.


I just ran the numbers myself...sorry guys, I'm an engineering major. haa. Had to indulge myself.


Anyways. here's the facts as stated in the DEA report an some op-ed..:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


15 million high school students in the US. Going with 12% that's 1,800,000 students that admitted to smoking weed


So that's like 7 out of 60 kids. FACT as stated by the DEA.


Doesn't sound out of the realm of reason now... but, that's only ONE pot circle in a whole high school senior year. We're all adults now and know that's just not legit. :roffl:


Here my opinion part....


Of course we'd all like our kids to be be good upstanding smart individuals. No lies, no bullshit. That's all I ask from my kids. Keep that pot shit under your hat unless you're living somewhere legal and you're of age. If you like it? Great, be smart about everything and get a fucking scholarship..(which they are all on course for).. I don't need to know all their personal business..


I think the main part is for them to get an education at that point..all the other things are a rite of passage kind of thing.

 

From my own personal experience, smoking a doobie once in a while in high school isn't an issue. I graduated with honors and I like to think I'm still fairly smart. Do I want my own child to start smoking pot before 18?? Not really, but am I going to be able to stop her? Probably not. Instead I'll make sure she is well educated and makes informed decisions, that's the best we can hope for right?


DEA = out of touch, fear-mongering tightwads.

 

I tell you what I'd rather have my teen smoking pot (a plant that I grew) RATHER than popping legal prescription "anti-depressants" that America seems to think is a great idea for 8 year olds. Look at Ritalin! Jesus Christ we all sit here and moralize about weed? FUCK stop pouring poison down the throats of our grade school kids. Kid hyperactive? Ritalin. Kid doesn't pay attention? Zombieloft. We have pill for every ill, and just because it's in a pill form seems to make it OK.


Young humans should NOT take mind-altering chemicals of any kind into their systems unless they have a true medical necessity. But of all the chemicals that my kids will likely ingest, I'm far more worried about alcohol than pot. And like SOD said, my power to stop them only goes so far.
