Add menthol to your bong to take away the harshness. All you have to do is ask.

420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a code-term used that refers to the consumption of cannabis and by extension, as a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture or simply cannabis itself. Observances based on the number 420 include smoking cannabis around the time 4:20 p.m. (with some sources also indicating 4:20 a.m. as we do have some early risers in The Villages on any given day), as well as smoking and celebrating cannabis on the date April 20 (4/20).
As to being Cheech's bday, I have no idea.

Interesting - over 2/3 of responders are in favor.

You know...I can't put my finger on it...and I'm gonna really sound like a crotchety, set-in-my-ways old fart even more so than I really am, nevertheless...

I find myself questioning the validity of this poll. I know it's not scientific, but even for this sort of simple show-of-hands, I find it hard to believe that two-thirds of The Villagers favor legalization of recreational marijuana. Medical? Sure. But recreational?!? I just can't believe it.

(Now be nice!) :duck:

I suspect it will go the way of cell phone by drivers. Some reports show more killed as a result of cell phones yet not much is done about it ....too many mothers that would be against drunk driving use cell phones therefore.......
The weed smokers will get the same benefit....to use a term loosely.
Not that I doubt your stats but it is WAY too early (in Colorado) to see any causation studies. Just not enough data yet for a valid theory to be made.

To the 2/3d poll. Having knowledge does not mean user.

The OP asks if you "support the legalization".

So we have one poster that is beating this drum like there is no tomorrow, but claims not to smoke. Then we have another poster, that has mysteriously disappeared, also on the band wagon that says you can't know what you are talking about unless you smoke. What's the deal. And for every pro marijuana link you want to provide, if I was so inclined, I could find one against so it really is a mute point. You are either for or against based on life experience and the knowledge you have of the subject. I for one don't see the need to do research to talk myself into believing differently.

I think it is totally wrong for a person to place blame on a substance and not take into account addictive personality traits. To blame any one substance is just a form of rationalization. If one in question didn't get you , something else would, sometimes even with proper psychological care. First hand experience, pot is NOT A GATEWAY drug. Alcohol,salt, sugar, and even over the counter drugs used to self medicate are far worse.

I stop by this thread to see what is new preriodically, but have no more to add. I voted, commented, and have no intention of changing anyone's mind.

Golfingnut 03-13-2014 08:37 AM
I am happy to say I am on the right side of this issue.

For First Time, Americans Favor Legalizing Marijuana

I don't and won't smoke. Live your life and let others live theirs. It's that simple.
