Weed has legitimate medical uses and is a million times less harmful than booze as a recreational drug. My entire medical team is fine with me using it. My wife’s physical rehab doctor prescribed it for pain. 1:1 THC to CBD . Wait until you hear about psilocybin’s therapeutic benefits. :rofl:


Your ignorance on this topic is apparently unshakeable.

Sad.
So you’re addicted …
No more than I am the nerve pain prescriptive drug, gabapentin, which is mild but causes withdrawal symptoms if you quit too fast. But I abstain from weed without withdrawal or any issues at all. And I only do it before bed as I wind down.

Pro tip: I can take the ribbing but not everyone can. Here’s a PSA for you….

Alcohol is highly addictive. I was an alcoholic. Weed is not physically addictive. It can be psychologically addictive but so can your drug of choice, beastiality.

I’d like to think you know all of this but then you should also know that it’s quite the shitty move to fuck with anyone about their recovery. For me, it was cold turkey, easy, and an unintended hospital detox after nearly bleeding out from a ruptured varisces. For others, it remains challenging for years if not forever. I’ve seen people on a liver transplant list who fuck up one time going to a bar with friends, and will get de-listed as a Peth test can detect going back 6 months. That can be like writing your own death sentence.

If you in fact do know this, that makes you a piece of shit deserving of all the bad things coming your way. If you didn’t realize this, that makes you an ignorant child.

So which one is it, Pards?

Sadly yes. In his younger years he showed a modicum of potential and he pissed it all away on the herb. Free will is a bitch

That's rich coming from a poster who is certain that what he believes is correct and who dismisses the perspective of anyone who disagrees with him rather then engaging his critical thinking skills and opening his mind to other possibilities.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Which has very little to do with philosophical ideas and the human condition. But keep going back to the same old sick burns which you think land. :lol:

But you’re right, I’m not a world traveler like you. And I’ve only lived in two places, Cheney, WA and the Kitsap Peninsula on Puget Sound. I’ve only traveled as far as Williamsburg, northern BC and Saskatchewan, central Alberta, Iowa, the Caribbean, and throughout the west.

And I’ve lived on a farm for just 7 years of my 55.

I wonder how many different countries and how far the likes of Jesus, the Buddha, Socrates, Epictetus, Basho, and Spinoza visited or lived in?

I’m sure you don’t. And this is another dodge. :lol: You know it’s ok to be wrong sometimes, right?

It’s not hate, it’s recognition of a deeply psychologically troubled person whose politics and greed have killed 100’000’s of thousands which will eventually be millions. I also don’t like the threat he, or for that matter, guys like Peter Thiel and influencers like Stephen Miller and Curtis Yarvin, pose to my country.

Just ask his kids and ex-wives on his level if humility and kindness. Or read what he unabashedly tweets. I’m sorry you’re such a poor judge of character.

I asked you to name the 17 companies because I knew your statement wasn't truthful. A simple "I lied" would have been a sufficient response.

The Vulcan Elements deal is fishy as fuck and should be fully investigated. However, its no more fishy than Hunter Biden being named to the Board of Directors at Burisma Holdings or Stacy Abrams' little startup receiving a $2 Billion (really big boy money) grant (not a loan) from the Biden Administration. Nothing happened with those two, so don't get your hopes up.

Do you really believe the democrat socialists desire to end capitalism is a conspiracy? Their clearly stated number one foundational goal is a conspiracy in your opinion? Really?

Speaking of conspiracies, i can congratulate you for one thing. You waited until you got 3-4 posts deep into the discussion before you started throwing the Nazi card around. :lol:
Oops! You’re right. The list is now up to at least 20. :lol:

But wait! I thought you didn’t really want to know. Fortune, CNN, Yahoo Finance all have stories on it.
I accept your surrender, Pierre. :coffee:

A well studied Rich Indian (because of his parents ) that migrated to Uganda and then comes to the United States, the most successful country in the history of the world, only to lecture us and tear it down. This is the most dangerous thing we’re looking at in the United States of America.

Expressing the belief that Palestinians are human beings with basic rights is showing hate toward Jewish people and is anti-Semitic. Duh!
