An Idea Of why Marijauana Is Illegal

[Elta]

Bigfoot, my man, I'm going to disagree with what they've been telling you. You don't need to drink or smoke or anything. If you don't, friends will respect you as long as you don't have any problems with them doing what they like. I can tell that you're not the type who'd make a big deal out of it, so you'll be fine.



The only problem is if you're "that guy" who makes a big deal out of not drinking anything and makes everyone else uncomfortable about it. I know you're not "that guy."

I would say the same thing. It's just that I've never meant a non drinker who was not "that guy" or that girl.

They always go out of their way to be buzzkills.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

1. It's not like I am stumbling around like an incoherent jackass.
Getting drunk slowly through out the night and making sure you do not get a hang over are fine arts.

I wouldn't deny it.

3. Actually that sounds odd to me, I only drink twice 3 times a month tops. I only really drink heavy (15 - 20) 4 or 5 times a year. I never drink at all outside of hanging with my friends, I am 21 too.

Well, my parents drink every day, like wine/beer with dinner and bourbon before bed, but I don't think I've ever seen either of my parents drunk.

4. Weed to each his own. Most of my friends do not smoke weed, none of the females actually. Alcohol is a critical part of social interaction in modern western society. It is okay if you don't want to drink, but it debilitating to your social life.

I'm well aware of that. I think my principles are more important than having a thriving social life.

5. I am talking about your liver and generally physical toughness. In nature your moral character is irrelevant to the safety of people who depend on you to protect them. People do not like to hang with people who are so nervous at the idea of being in a normal social situation (such as drinking). Nervousness is equated with fear and weakness. In the back of their head people all want to be able to think that "my friends are not a bunch of pansies and I know they would march through the gates of hell with me".

Elta man you've got this idea that I'm afraid of alcohol and that I'm nervous around it. I'm not. I see it and I reject it. There's no "Oh gee man I don't know, maybe I shouldn't, uh uh..." Just no.

6. Girls do not like guys who are unwilling to be even a little bit on "the edge".
"He is too nervous to even take a shot of alcohol, he will clearly be a good provider" Girls do not think in absolute terms like that, but on a subconscious instinctual level they do. It is no different than in business, if you are too afraid to take a risk you will never get a head.

Well then how do you explain Mowque!?!??

7. The druggies and drunks eh?

What is the PC term for you people?

Females like guys who have their stuff together. A good job,education etc
What ever is important to them. If he can actually loosen up and be the life of the party that is a + too. Someone who can demonstrate himself as someone with personality is another part of being a good provider and success. I and a lot of people like me work 4 jobs and go to school full time.
On the weekend we like to drink with our friends and smoke a J every once in a while. That doesn't make you any where a alcoholic or pothead. Girls do not like guys who are crackheads or heroin addicts. They tend to be bums.
You can be yourself without living in constant fear of normal things.

You think I ain't got no personality? I mean really? For your information I'm MR. Personality. I thought you knew me a little better than that Elta. And I never drank any alcohol but I know it ain't no personality potion.

8. I've been doing Mixed martial arts for over 14 years, I highly doubt you could take me .

OK, you put 20 drinks in you, then I'll take you on.

I would be more than happy to have a sparing match with you or anyone else on the forum for sport though. Seriously not something with malice or anything, but a regular sparing match. It would be fun, let me know if you're in vegas. Actually even if you don't want to spar and want to train I can get you some free lessons at my school if you want. If you want to take the class I help teach it will be with 12 to 16 year olds though.

I can't believe you said that. Me and my dad have had this inside joke about being a grown man in a kids karate class for years and years. Don't ask.

9. Keep me posted on how college goes for you

Now that I can do for sure.

10. You'll see the light, I am confident of it.

Know who else said that to me? Cheezy the Wiz. And he was talking about communism.

Bigfoot, my man, I'm going to disagree with what they've been telling you. You don't need to drink or smoke or anything. If you don't, friends will respect you as long as you don't have any problems with them doing what they like. I can tell that you're not the type who'd make a big deal out of it, so you'll be fine.

Well thank you. I had a feeling that's the way it is but there's a whole lotta Contrary Mary's round here.

I would say the same thing. It's just that I've never meant a non drinker who was not "that guy" or that girl.

Sup Elta, my name's Bigfoot.

Those people usually aren't at parties or going out on weekends in the first place, though.

 

[CaptainF]

Your a good proponent of things, but this is rather insulting. You make it seem cause i have made a choice not to do things, that clearly i am under the influence of someone else. I'm not. I have looked and made a choice based on my own. Indeed, i have actually went against the hard-drinking nature of my area. This "Dude, when you grow up, you'll agree with me!" things, gets on my nerves. I am no more/less a product of indoctrination then you.

I wasn't meaning to insult you, nor was I implying that people like you who choose not to get "throwed" (as I like to call it) are weak and make their choices at the behest of someone else.

What I did say (and I still believe this) is that a lot of people who choose not to get intoxicated do so out of fear. I don't know if that's the case with you, but it doesn't seem like it.

And hey, there are people like you who make that choice not to do so...and turn out totally differently.

For example...one friend of mine from High School was one of the most button-up kinda dudes I'd known. He was pretty much a straight 4.0 student all through his schooling career, was a stellar cross country runner, graduated with honors and as valedictorian. He wasn't a partier by ANY stretch, but he was still a cool guy and everyone liked him.

Nowadays, after going to college, he absolutely loves to party on the weekends, drinking and smoking weed to a greater extent than most people I know, including myself. However, he's still the same fun, happy dude. He still is a great distance runner, still gets excellent grades.

I'm not saying that's what you'll end up doing, but it does happen.

No. i choose not to get intoxicated because i prefer my nervous system to function appropriately. I wish to be perceptive, coherent and controlled in all circumstances.

Or else something bad might happen? Sounds like you live in a warzone or something.

I do not see the need to become inebriated or high in order to be an interesting, fun and sociable person.

Neither do I. I'm interesting fun and sociable without gettin' wrecked.

Why do I choose to alter my state of mind? Because it's fun, duh. You probably have altered your state of mind numerous times. Case in point, masturbation.

The fact that anyone should rely on a substance beyond their own cognition in order to enjoy a situation shows that they are a dull and likely so are their friends.
If your most enjoyable nights are when you are drunk or high then i feel sorry for you. Likewise i feel sorry for people that insist on going somewhere with friends in order to have fun. If the act of being with your friends isn't enough to bring you pleasure then you either need better friends or need to develop yourself.

The bolded part makes you sound like a douchebag. No I don't RELY on weed or alcohol to have a good time, that's to be found primarily amongst my friends, who I most commonly indulge in said substances with. I, much like anyone else who isn't a drug addict/alcoholic don't need anything to have a good time.

Tell me, what do you do for fun anyway if you don't even go out and do stuff with your friends? Sit around and talk? You've never even gone to a concert? What do you mean by "being with" your friends?

You can't sit there and tell me that you and your friends don't do ANYTHING at all when you're with them.

Clearly it appears you don't get out much, but that's just me. That's the only way I can see someone having such ridiculous, false misconceptions.

 

[Sharwood]

I would say the same thing. It's just that I've never meant a non drinker who was not "that guy" or that girl.

They always go out of their way to be buzzkills.

I never buzzkill anyone, unless I'm just being a bit of a smartarse. Like if someone tries to pressure me to drink, I'll return the favour, but that's it. Otherwise, i could give a damn if you get loaded on whatever you want.

And I'm not even touching alll that other crap you've been saying, because much of it legitimately offended me. The idea that I'm scared of alcohol is ludicrous, the idea that a person can't have a great time out with their intoxicated friends without being drunk themselves - if anything, I had more fun: I could remember it, and was sober enough to take pictures - and the idea that everything is to impress the opposite sex - yes, I am impressing sooooo many women right now - all of this offends me. Some of it more than others. Hell, some of it outright pisses me off, which is why I'm not going to debate with you on it. I'd get too emotional.

As for whether or not Bigfoot could take you, I don't know, but I do know I could. I used to fight for a living. Was pretty damn good at it too, and probably should have pursued it.

 

[Elta]

1. I'm well aware of that. I think my principles are more important than having a thriving social life.

Elta man you've got this idea that I'm afraid of alcohol and that I'm nervous around it. I'm not. I see it and I reject it. There's no "Oh gee man I don't know, maybe I shouldn't, uh uh..." Just no.

2. Well then how do you explain Mowque!?!??

3. What is the PC term for you people?


4. OK, you put 20 drinks in you, then I'll take you on.

I can't believe you said that. Me and my dad have had this inside joke about being a grown man in a kids karate class for years and years. Don't ask.




5. Know who else said that to me? Cheezy the Wiz. And he was talking about communism.



6. You think I ain't got no personality? I mean really? For your information I'm MR. Personality. I thought you knew me a little better than that Elta. And I never drank any alcohol but I know it ain't no personality potion.

Sup Elta, my name's Bigfoot.

1. Can you run that by me agian on how consuming alcohol is against your morals? Also what is it in it that you see and reject? The taste?

2. No chick is in to guys who are willing to take no risk at all. Alcohol is not the only way yo show that you are adventurous. HEll it is not really dangerous at all .... unless you are an idiot. If you play it safe in everything you will get safe results.

3. What do you call your parents? Drunks as well? Or adults who drink alcohol from time to time. Someone who uses marijuana once or twice a month is someone who smoke marijuana. Despite what you have as a preconceived notion (or so it seems to me anyway). Smoking marijuana does not change anything about you. "druggies" and "drunks" sound like addicts. Are you saying your parents can not function without their wine at dinner?

4. You need to remember it is 20 over 6 hours. That is only 3.5 in an hour. If I can still dance extremely well when I am that drunk I don't see why I wouldn't be able to fight really. Training with your son is always cool My dad trained with me for a while when I was little.

5. I though I just read Cheezy say he is not a communist in another thread, are you sure you didn't mean socialist?

6. I thought you were an aspiring DJ. Personality is a requirement for that. I didn't say you don't have it. It is hard to be a crowd commanding guy at a party without any drinks in you...... due to the buzz kill thing and because people feel that you are not "one of them". Having a "big" personality at a party is an easy way to talk/dance/ spit game at a lot of girls.

In all seriousness, most of the girls you meet you will meet at parties. And the ones you meet else where, guess what? They like it when you take them to parties with their friends....... they like bonding with their friends.

The jist of my concern is that you are **** blocking yourself. To be perfectly frank. Maybe one day I will see you at a party filled with drunk people and you will be the center of attention. If that happens I'll bump this thread in your honor. I have my doubts though

 

[Elta]

Those people usually aren't at parties or going out on weekends in the first place, though.

Yeah, because they are invited out once - buzzkill and then are never invited out again.

1.I had more fun: I could remember it, and was sober enough to take pictures -2. and the idea that everything is to impress the opposite sex - yes, I am impressing sooooo many women right now - all of this offends me. 3. Some of it more than others. Hell, some of it outright pisses me off, which is why I'm not going to debate with you on it. I'd get too emotional.
4.
As for whether or not Bigfoot could take you, I don't know, but I do know I could. I used to fight for a living. Was pretty damn good at it too, and probably should have pursued it.

1. You forget things when you drink? You drink too much then. I never forget a thing. It has nothing to do with "tolerance" It is about knowing your limits. If you forget things then you drink to much.

2. At the moment you are here to entertain yourself in order to keep your self mentally stable and mentally active. Why suffer through trying to be not bored? Why not just off yourself? Who cares? Why? Because you won't let yourself? Why? Because your brain is always telling you in the back of your mind "Make babies with a beautiful healthy women" When it comes down to it that is your goal in life and it's why you give a crap about anything. If all of the women in the world suddenly died right now I would turn into a homicidal maniac because I just don't give a damn any more....... maybe that's just me. Nah, you weren't born because your parents want to continue their gene line. It was something much more grand

3. Sounds like you should chill out and smoke a blunt.

4. Like I said to me, it is a sport to me and all in good fun. If you are ever in vegas and want to have a match with me or one of the better guys if you kick my ass and you want to see how good you "could" have been. I am alway up to spar, it's a great sport

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Those people usually aren't at parties or going out on weekends in the first place, though.

Exactly. Like I got nothin' better to do than follow Elta around and tell him how much I don't like his drinking.

1. Can you run that by me agian on how consuming alcohol is against your morals? Also what is it in it that you see and reject? The taste?

I don't believe I should consume anything to alter my mental state (be "drunk" or "high"), especially just for fun. I like myself 100% the way I am and I'm not looking to change it in any way.

2. No chick is in to guys who are willing to take no risk at all. Alcohol is not the only way yo show that you are adventurous. If you play it safe in everything you will get safe results.

Well you'll have to ask Mowque about that one. I don't know the whole story of how they met and fell in love and all that razzmatazz.

3. What do you call your parents? Drunks as well? Or adults who drink alcohol from time to time. Someone who uses marijuana once or twice a month is someone who smoke marijuana. Despite what you have as a preconceived notion (or so it seems to me anyway). Smoking marijuana does not change anything about you. "druggies" and "drunks" sound like addicts. Are you saying your parents can not function without their wine at dinner?

Well obviously my parents aren't drunks. I probably shouldn't have said the word drunks at all. Smoking marijuana may not have changed you but I think it would change me.

5. I though I just read Cheezy say he is not a communist in another thread, are you sure you didn't mean socialist?

Probably. It was after another long, excruciating discussion in which I had to stand up for myself and what I believe in.

6. I thought you were an aspiring DJ. Personality is a requirement for that. I didn't say you don't have it. It is hard to be a crowd commanding guy at a party without any drinks in you...... due to the buzz kill thing and because people you are not "one of them". Having a "big" personality at a party is an easy way to talk/dance/ spit game at a lot of girls.

I'm not really looking to be the life of the party. I probably wouldn't want to be there at all.

In all seriousness, most of the girls you meet you will meet at parties. And the ones you meet else where, guess what? They like it when you take them to parties with their friends....... they like bonding with their friends.

The jist of my concern is that you are **** blocking yourself. To be perfectly frank.

Well that's nice of you to look out for me, but I think I'll be OK.

Maybe one day I will see you at a party filled with drunk people and you will be the center of attention. If that happens I'll bump this thread in your honor. I have my doubts though

You got a deal.

 

[Elta]

1. I don't believe I should consume anything to alter my mental state (be "drunk" or "high"), especially just for fun. I like myself 100% the way I am and I'm not looking to change it in any way.




2. I'm not really looking to be the life of the party. I probably wouldn't want to be there at all.

1. It doesn't change you. You don't become a different person. You get drunk. Or high, I dunno dude. I just think you have a warped view of drinking.


2. You can't call yourself Mr. Personality and then not be the life of the party. That's false advertising

 

[Sharwood]

1. You forget things when you drink? You drink too much then. I never forget a thing. It has nothing to do with "tolerance" It is about knowing your limits. If you forget things then you drink to much.

I don't drink, so I don't forget a thing. Most of my friends used to though. Some of them wouldn't even drink that much, it just seemed to effect them that way.

2. At the moment you are here to entertain yourself in order to keep your self mentally stable and mentally active. Why suffer through trying to be not bored? Why not just off yourself? Who cares? Why? Because you won't let yourself? Why? Because your brain is always telling you in the back of your mind "Make babies with a beautiful healthy women" When it comes down to it that is your goal in life and it's why you give a crap about anything. If all of the women in the world suddenly died right now I would turn into a homicidal maniac because I just don't give a damn any more....... maybe that's just me. Nah, you weren't born because your parents want to continue their gene line. It was something much more grand

At the moment I'm here because I'm out of books to read and dvds to watch, so you're on to something there. I won't let myself commit suicide because my brain is telling me that I have goals in life, none of which involve impressing anyone, and if I offed myself, I wouldn't be able to fulfill them. If people are impressed by what I do, good for them. If not, no skin off my nose.

My favourite method of sexual intercourse is very unlikely to result in babies. So you're wrong. If all of the women on this planet died right now I'd be happier. Believe it or not, I often think about living in an I Am Legend-style world, and I would much rather live in such a world than the one I'm currently in. One of the reasons is that I wouldn't spend so much time worrying about women. Not to reproduce, because I hate children, but simply because they get my rocks off better than anything else. Mind you, getting my rocks off helps me focus on my goals, it's not my goal. So try not to tell me my goals in life, because that's the sort of thing that pissed me off in the first place. And yeah, it's just you.

And I was born because my mother slept with 20% of her class in high school. Male and female. There's a reason I don't know my father; there are too many options to choose from. But I suspect he was looking for a cheap thrill, not reproduction.

We may have evolved to find sex pleasurable because it makes us more likely to reproduce, but the idea that everything we do is sexual in nature was bullcrap when Freud said it, and it's still bullcrap now. As for it being tied to reproduction; explain homosexuality for me.

And yes, it was something more grand. I am the Second Coming, and you all know it.

3. Sounds like you should chill out and smoke a blunt.

I can chill out without marijuana, thank you very much. A good book > marijuana.

4. Like I said to me, it is a sport to me and all in good fun. If you are ever in vegas and want to have a match with me or one of the better guys if you kick my ass and you want to see how good you "could" have been. I am alway up to spar, it's a great sport

I'd love to spar, with just about anyone now. I train as best I can by myself, but it's not the same. i have found I've become far more aggressive since most of my fights are punks in the street, rather than organised competition though, so that is somewhat compensatory.

I was pretty damn good, though I didn't realise it at the time. I even beat two of the current Australian champions (I have absolutely no idea how many upstart MMA companies there are here, but there's a few) - one at karate, one in an actual MMA fight - but I decided to switch to professional wrestling, since I enjoyed it more. That was almost certainly a mistake, as it's actually a hell of a lot harder, and years of Vince McMahon's pushing bodybuilders over actual talented competitors has pretty much destroyed the market for guys my size. So someone that still does it for a living could likely take me now. But I'd love to get back into it, if only I had the damn time anymore. I barely have time to work out, let alone train properly.

How'd your Mislead Youth bout go?

 

[Syterion]

No. i choose not to get intoxicated because i prefer my nervous system to function appropriately. I wish to be perceptive, coherent and controlled in all circumstances.

I do not see the need to become inebriated or high in order to be an interesting, fun and sociable person. The fact that anyone should rely on a substance beyond their own cognition in order to enjoy a situation shows that they are a dull and likely so are their friends.

If the act of being with your friends isn't enough to bring you pleasure then you either need better friends or need to develop yourself.

Oh man I used to be you. Like verbatim.

I don't want to be that guy who condescends and tells you what you'll think when you get older. All I can say is that sometimes you are going to be stressed out, challenged, tired of work, restrictions, and being bottled up in the cage of our repressed norms. In high school I was bored 24/7, and enjoyed the time to myself that I could be "perceptive" and "coherent." Then I got to college and you get more bogged down from work. So you go to a party and let go. It's fun. It relaxes you, and it is healthy psychologically (at least according to my social psych textbook).

So I think you might find that being in complete control all the time just isn't loads of fun, speaking as someone who's been there. If you search my post history (please don't though, it's so embarassing), you'll find 5 year old posts of me deriding alcohol use. We all need spontaneity, impulsiveness, and freedom sometimes. I'm not saying drugs are necessary. I don't really seek them out. But if they're present, I know its effects and they are fun.

But remember, I don't want to sound like I know you better than you know yourself. This is my perspective. I hope its helpful, or at least interesting.

* It occurs in many species. It is a by product of evolution......... I am not going to give you the long prairie dog explanation theory since, I really don't think it holds a lot of water and I don't feel like typing it up.

Evolution is random (with regards to the random mutations which cause changes in the gene pool) Not all mutations result in more sucsessful reproduction. For further information on Evolution consult sultans thread.


The rest of what I left up there has what seems like a whole host of things we could talk about and their relation to each other, but that is not the goal of this thread.

I hate it when people explain things so much better than me in so few words

 

[Sharwood]

How'd your Mislead Youth bout go?

How the hell do you know about Jay? He hasn't used that name in years. He's Jay Law now. I notice you even spelled it incorrectly, like he always did.

I wrestled Jay twice. The first was a tag with Christian Hermes - working as Chris X last I heard - against Jay and Peter Zeigh - don't think he's working anymore. It ended when Jay spinebustered Christian, and legit knocked him out.

Second time was a four-corner elimination match, with Pete and Future Shock (JT Robinson). Pete pinned Jay after a Fashion Victim, (Side Effect; I named it for him by the way) and JT after we double-teamed him - don't remember what we did. Then I pinned Pete after a drawn out spot that was a play on what we'd done in our last match. He'd pinned me with the Fashion Victim after blocking a monkey flip. So this time we teased the same thing, I elbowed out of it, and dropped him with a Sliced Bread No 2 (probably the best name for any move of all time) for the win.

That's probably a lot more detail than you wanted.

 

[Orange Seeds]

Or else something bad might happen? Sounds like you live in a warzone or something.



Neither do I. I'm interesting fun and sociable without gettin' wrecked.

Why do I choose to alter my state of mind? Because it's fun, duh. You probably have altered your state of mind numerous times. Case in point, masturbation.



The bolded part makes you sound like a douchebag. No I don't RELY on weed or alcohol to have a good time, that's to be found primarily amongst my friends, who I most commonly indulge in said substances with. I, much like anyone else who isn't a drug addict/alcoholic don't need anything to have a good time.

Tell me, what do you do for fun anyway if you don't even go out and do stuff with your friends? Sit around and talk? You've never even gone to a concert? What do you mean by "being with" your friends?

You can't sit there and tell me that you and your friends don't do ANYTHING at all when you're with them.

Clearly it appears you don't get out much, but that's just me. That's the only way I can see someone having such ridiculous, false misconceptions.

Why should i have to be in a war-zone if i want to be explicitly coherent?


Well, thanks for the sentiment but unfortunately my schedule is routinely thrown off by friends. How silly it is to take such a grossly asinine induction from my comments. Anyways.

I suppose i ought to say that i am a very ambitious humanist and spend most of my time writing, reading and going for walks. It sounds strange to most people but i don't enjoy "fun" as most people have it. I am unable to use large amounts of my time for pleasure when it could be spent doing other things. Likewise, things that disrupt my ability to think i don't have time for.

Since this has turned into a social thing, i feel like dropping my line in again. I'm not the most social guy, i hardly go to parties, but i (very) often go to gatherings where people are drinking. Heck, i'm close friends with a moonshiner, i'm not avoiding alcohol. And this 'buzzkill' thing only applies if your friends are really uptight. I'm invited to more things then i go, not the other way around. Lots of times, its nice to have SOMEONE who is sober around.

Also, this whole 'girls like adventure' thing is a crock, sorry to tell you. Lots of girls might like a social active guy, and maybe those are the girls you like. No problem. But don't go saying that is the only way to find the perfect girl. Being a nice guy goes a lot farther and works in more situation in my opinion.

@Elta. 2 points, sorry i got uptight in that last post. second point, i'm not going to fight you since i'm a confirmed pansie/pacifist,lol

Pot can be successfully commercialized. You can grow your own but not everyone will think it's worth the trouble. Hard-core stoners would rather let someone else do the work.

While there will be an underground market, people will prefer buying from legitimate sources. There's not a lot of demand for rotgut moonshine because you can get legitimate alcohol at Wal-Mart and know it's safe.

1. It doesn't change you. You don't become a different person. You get drunk. Or high, I dunno dude. I just think you have a warped view of drinking.

Alright, is "Bigfoot + X #of drinks" a different person from "sober Bigfoot"? I would think so.

2. You can't call yourself Mr. Personality and then not be the life of the party. That's false advertising

So says you.

Why not just do what we did with opium? Makes for much capitalistic opportunities, if we choose to ignore social what-nots and all.
