I was actually going to comment on this - Gorillaz are well known for being pro-cannabis and I think many of the "community" like them also.

I must admit the combination of my name and sig is quite funny considering the argument :o, I only found about my forum name being a strain of cannabis recently, I think someone else on here might of mentioned it, and as for the sig I don't know nothing about the band or what they stand for, I just choose it because it was easy to make to make a sig out of, perhaps a change is due, I've wanted something different for ages and if they really are pro weed then it's not something I want to advertise.

Can you just photoshop the third guy's joint in to a tobacco pipe or something, or get rid of it completely?

I had no knowledge of them being pro weed.

Well..I know several people who use pipe to smoke their weed with..so probably not the best choice :p

There's no evidence that it is a joint or a cigarette, so he could keep it if he wants - But he has had it for ages :p

It's easy to cherry pick a few rich people that smoke or rather smoked ;) it, how many of your university friends smoke cannabis now well into their 30's?

And tbh yes, I do mostly see idiots smoking weed, why is it that it's predominantly poor dysfunctional communities that are rife with cannabis rather than middle or upper class suburbs?

Actually thinking it about perhaps a poll would be a good idea, I'll bet you £10 paypal that majority of successful people on here don't smoke cannabis, and per capita those that do are less successful.

Also Robbo makes a good point, when your buying your also supporting a dealer, and then he/she is either growing it or sourcing it from someone else, it's a nasty chain of illegal activities your supporting just to be able to '**** out', if you need the drug bad enough to break the law and support drug dealers (yeah I'm sure these are nice people your handing your money over to) then I think you need help tbh.

At the risk of taking this slightly off topic, but does your blinkered view on Cannabis extend over to other drugs as well? If so I'd like to hear your thoughts on the high usage of cocaine among the 'successful' city types and those who are in the media industry?
 
I cant believe some of the totally uninformed views in here.

No wonder cannabis is still illegal! Most of the general public are as clueless as the government!



To the guy comparing speeding on an empty motorway at 180 to smoking a joint.... are you ******* high? :P

At 180, one mistake, you are going to die.

Smoke a joint? Worst that'll happen is you'll puke cause you had to much and have to sleep it off.


Also, saying that the majority who smoke are unsuccessful is total tosh.

That's like saying that people who drink are all alcoholics, it's just a complete fabrication and wrong on so many levels.

How many of these high flying bankers. business men and movie stars do you think do drugs? Are they not successful?

perhaps that is why you only notice the scummy chavs smoking weed

This is probably one of the most important reasons for why it keeps being pushed off the table whenever anyone tries to get it legalised or decriminalised in some way.

People need to start changing their view on pot smokers. Not all of them smoke non-stop all the time, not all of them ruin their lives because they spend all their money on the drug, and not all of them are unsuccessful "low lifers".

lol. it would be an interesting poll. unfortunately this is a geek/nerd's forum so i would imagine that the majority our users would fall into the none-drug-taking category. weed does a fraction of the damage that alcohol does to society and the user. i dont drink, surely im allowed something? just because i dont want to kill my liver means i have no options?

actually my dealer is a lovely bloke. you would like him. he has a family business he feels he cant get out of and sells the odd bit to boost his income.

plenty of my uni mates still smoke. all but one has a well paid job. im a manager here. i function fine. i think you need to speak to Frank to get some better info. i guess most of the chavs you hate also wear reebok/nike trainers but does that mean that everyone who wears trainers is a chav? causation and correlation.

what if tomorrow they made peanuts illegal? they kill much more people than most drugs (cannabis cannot kill you, unless you drop a few kilos on someone's head) . if you liked peanuts would you still buy them from alternate sources? i know its an odd argument but you get my idea. i know a good deal (no pun) about drug legislature and history and why certain drugs were made illegal well before others (weed around 50 years before cocaine for example) and much of that was political and influenced by cotton traders in the USA.
 
As long as they don't ban us from the Argentinian steak house I don't care.
 
Yep it's in the Dam & where I ate every single day I've been there. Since then I have continually recommended the place to visitors & All of them have come back saying the same.
Awesome food & Latin style waitresses is full of win. :cool:

Yes I can read.

You compared driving at 180 miles an hour on an empty motorway to smoking weed, which is ridiculous.

I can see the point you were 'trying' to make, but you did it wrong.

You cannot compare smoking weed to driving a car, at all.

Driving a car is infinity more dangerous, both to yourself and others around you.

I honestly cannot think of something else that is illegal, but causes the same or less "damage" to yourself/the community, than weed. (except other illegal drugs)


The best thing you could compare it to would be having a beer (1 single beer), which is legal... and you see my point.
