      TBF, just imagine what a place the world would be if the world leader’s idea of quality downtime would be a fat bong, Cartoon Channel and pizza.

        Cartoon Channel

        And here I am studying Kanji instead while high off my ass. Lol

        Either my fellow stoners need to broaden their horizons or we have terrible stereotypes about weed smokers. 😅

            My leisure time only happens to be productive. I don’t remember the last time I put on some cartoons because I smoked weed like people say. That’s not who I am when I smoke and it’s fine to point that out.

      To each his own, and though I have never consumed any kind of drugs nor think I ever will (nor can’t understand the need of drugs beyond medical field, pretty much contrary of what it is stated in the quote of this post), I concede keeping it illegal while at the same time alcohol and nicotine are both completely legal is one of the reasons I still think our so-called “civilization” is extremely idiotic, mediocre and pathetic. Either make all of them legal but regulate their consumption or make it so it never bothers anyone else or anything else in any way, or make all of them illegal - but the disparity of current legislation about all of them around the world is just nonsense.

      I must ask why; the prohibition of it doesn’t make any sense to me at all. It’s all but proven fact that it’s not any more harmful than either smoking cigarettes, or drinking alcohol.

      Both of which are completely legal to consume all day, every day.

      Weed simply doesn’t deserve the status it is given, it was placed on schedule 1 as a gigantic middle finger from the ruling class, against the working class. They did it to punish those they saw as their lessers, and so they could have the police rough up anyone because they owned a small amount of the substance. But the cigarettes and alcohol they’ve enjoyed for decades and many of them have profited from? Those are fine. This new thing (at the time) that they aren’t profiting off of? Let’s make it illegal, so we can force everyone to use the things we do profit from.

      That’s basically the backstory here.

      Why you, or anyone would oppose lifting that prohibition is confusing at best, racist/classest at worst.

      I’m genuinely curious how you have come to have the position you do. If you don’t like it, nobody is going to force you to use the stuff, same with alcohol and cigarettes. So why do you care?
