Coffee contains caffeine...a stimulant, a drug. You were "using drugs" during your coffee breaks. In South America, they have a coca leaf break. In Africa a Khat break. You don't think the janitor can scrub toilets and mop floors after a few puffs? Or a few beers? This black/white zero tolerance world we live in... He may be the best janitor ever after he's motivated himself with a few puffs. I knew lots of people who were completely worthless without their morning drug...their morning caffeine, their coffee. You don't know him, you assume and assume the worst. Just saying.

It seems those who judge the most harshly...haven't experienced it...haven't tried it. Kinda bigoted?

Now someone is bigoted if they criticize someone who is breaking the law? I have never killed anyone, but if I criticize someone who has, then I am bigoted?
Really twisted. You must be just trolling.

What if their were two people on that janitorial crew? One smoked dope but other than that was in no way a scofflaw. The other had never touched drugs or alcohol in their life but drove to the job with no drivers license and no insurance, was years behind in child support payments and had been convicted of animal cruelty? We can't see that behavior, so they get a pass while a panel of INTERNET judges focus on Joe Toke. It reminds me of a scene in the movie "Off Limits" where Dix says: "You're floating' in a big sea of **** and instead of just staying' in the boat, no, you reach out and you pick up this one little turd and you say "This turd, well THIS turd ****es me off. I'm gonna do something' about THIS turd!" "

For those who want to compile a list of TOTV potheads, include me. I have smoked for 50 years. I did stop for my last 21 years in the military because of urinalysis testing. If it is a gateway drug, the gate needs some oil, as I have never used any other illegal products....oops..scratch that...I tried true Absinthe in the backwoods of Switzerland and some weird drink in Korea that made me think I was walking two feet off the ground. The former was intentional while the latter was a blindside.

I truly believe that the Pro Weed/Anti Weed gap is generational. Weed enhances the experience when you are listening to Traffic or Santana or Iron Butterfly, but won't help Lawrence Welk at all.

You are my new hero! Right on the mark. (Alcohol good....Weed Bad)
It also works well with Pink Floyd, ZZ Top and Lynard Skynard......sometime even Blue Oyster Cult!

This thread has sunk to new lows.

I can tell by reading it who has class and who hasn't.

If you are a grown up cosmopolitan citizen of the world, it is evident. You don't have to kiss and tell and show us all how you can hold your breath and what you prefer for the munchies.

It is never good to break any law. Most people look down on you.

Times have changed and things will change. Our ancestors lived through prohibition.

Bragging about smoking, toking, drinking and other activities makes people think you are immature.

Please pull your collective dresses down, You are showing your collective asses.

I'll make this really simple... Just because it's a "law" doesn't mean it's fair or just...or should be a "law". Many laws are political.

You're comparing someone taking a few tokes to someone committing murder... Really? You find that a good analogy? Comparable "offenses"?
