Hi guys, Wow, what a lurvely place! Here's a can of ozium for the house. There's really no sense in worrying about secondhand smoke, in my opinion that's a bunch of crap from people who want to control you. The spray will control the reek, though. Since the subject is a little touchy for those who consider it a gateway smoke, and all that, may I suggest that you/we keep it inside, not out and hiding in public. If you smoke, do it proudly. That is exactly what indoors are for.
I wasn't going to get into this topic, but here I go. This is all hypothetical, you know, not directed at THOG, or anyone, and being hypothetical, it is not from my personal experience .
1. Smot makes you stupid. (er) I am a genius. I smoted enough to heat Camp 7 through University and post grad.
2. I like to enumerate things because it makes me seem like I really know what I am talking about, especially when I do, because this all happened, hypothetically.
3. It is not dangerous. (Maybe emphyzema or lung cancer, but there is not enough hard data cause no one admits to smot.)
3.5 It is not addictive.
4. It does not lead to other stuff. (Maybe, it sure wouldn't at all if it were freely available and legal.)
5. I am only hurting my self, if at all, mostly by being out of it, so so what?
6. It makes me so stupid that since I can still function better than most while smot, I think, why bother being all that I can be,? I'll settle for half fast, cause it's good enough.
7. If I smot on weekends it's just weekends.
8. It takes six weeks for my enthusiasm to come back. I don't know how lazy or stupid I am until I am not. Just try it. Stop for six weeks. Enjoy the next month. (If the thought of stopping for ten weeks bothers you, Do not pass go, get help.) (Remember thinking above that I can stop anytime I want, but I don't want to?)
9. Don't drink more instead. Alcohol will screw you up, and is addictive, and will dissolve almost anything. (Cars, marriages, houses, etc.)
10. tetrahydrocannabinol does /NOT/ cause "psychotic episodes"
YET. Stick around it's not fun.
11. Don't hide it (beyond prudence), be proud, enjoy. BUT don't give me any of those BS excuses. It is not "good for you", you don't have Glaucoma or severe nausea due to chemo, you are not one of those few exceptions who can be perfectly normal in every way when smot. It takes a long time for all of the effects other than the euphoria to go away. You're sotned all of the time.
12. The time came when different (smot) became the usual, and what is normal anyway. I didn't really know, hadn't tried it in so long. You have been warned, by crackey.
13. Talking to someone with pinpoint pupils. Pinpoint or dialated is not the point € was making, get it? Argue semantics and fool yourself.
14. This is not well written, no excuses. It is purely hypothetical opinion, and you will be different than me.
Whew. Pay no attention to the man beind the curtain. He's high too.
Please pass me a ===~~
Oh my, the healing story is the funniest thing I ever heard! Tell me is it really true IRL?

True!
Stick around...that's not THE funniest!
...*opens a window & slides MD's chair over to it...* Enjoy this months thread...soundsurround in the headrests, massager & heated seats...even amazing lounge chairs in the alley. I don't mind going out to the alley...why some of my fondest memories are from an alley...
Wha'?
Oh yes, your post. I say ditto that...but you see there are these people here called MODERATORS...they lurk around & have shut my mouth more than once. So...when in Rome...
do as you like...in the alley!!! I think 'they' think virtual herbs will lead to virtual drugs! After years of, er, years of testing
I find it only leads to people you'll either like or not like...Oh wait, that's called life!...*wonders why everyone makes so much todo about a wee bit-o-herb...doesn't care, as she's already been told repeatedly 'she' cannot change the ...passes MD a nice
skunky ===~~ ...sprays the Ozium...... I'll try to remember to bring you some in the pink canister!

Do be do be do.... Thanks for the catnip, Pandora....
As for secondhand smoke, it's very gross. Smokers have a bad enough reputation already... no need to make it any worse!!!!

Puts the insect on the windowsill to burn out. We'll leave it for a friend in need. I'm such a lightweight, I don't need any more of that for a few more years or so. But I just wanted to show that acceptance is a whole lot easier for me than trying to make people change.... Woah.. to make a point. Most people consider themselves smarter than most people. 80 percent of earths people live in substandard housing, or rather, 80 percent of the worlds people live in housing that the other 20 percent wouldn't like to move back into. That little spot on the wall is interresting. We're cool.
Thanks for the , mari-rae.
Sips thoughtfully.
Never criticize someone till you have walked a mile in their shoes...That way, when they hear it, you're a mile away, and they don't have any shoes!
That back massager in the chair is awsome!

E., WHY...what do YOU think is wrong with me?!? Shall I lie on the couch whilst you make me hate my mother?
Say D., Cloughie's back...I've bitten his tail about starting up the BBQ again! It's getting to be that time of year!!

E., I adore my mama...I just thought that you thought that something was wrong with me & I was offering my couch up as a therapy spot. Flat beer makes one's hair soooo soft! And it rinses right out, no smell or anything. I'm sure 'that' bit of information might save your life one day!
