Sure

It has done "wonders" for some people

Look at The Beatles, it makes you write good music too.

I'm pretty sure there was more than weed at play there

There is a point under the influence of any mind-altering drug where the brain's creative abilities are peaked, but then it all starts sliding downhill. F. Scott Fitzgerald was 21 when he began his writing career, wrote his best novels while half in the bag, but could barely function by the time he reached 35 due to alcoholism.

I know I golf better when stoned.

Are you sure about that? Or do you just not care...

I drive better because I am not tense, if you are tense while golfing you are screwed.

 

[Missourian]

I think better when everyone else is stoned.

Marijuana might cause new cell growth in the brain - health - 13 October 2005 - New Scientist

Problem is that the new cells are the kind of brain cells that think Doritos mixed with pudding is a good idea.

Oh, c'mon. How absurd. Doritos? Okay, maybe if you're Hispanic or something. But those of us of the Irish persuasion instinctively know the best thing to mix with pudding is potato chips.

I suppose you also put something other than beer in your bong?

Of course it causes new cell growth in the brain. Scientists have known that it helps a great deal with Alzheimer's disease for several years (like mid 90's).

You know, I used to work at a biker bar here in Amarillo called Boondocks. Outside, in the parking lot, there was a small area set aside and all the bikers would come in and smoke cannabis around the spool (or whoever had smoke).

I noticed something. There were people who drank mostly soda, and smoked quite a bit of pot, there were people who drank only, and there were people who drank and smoked as well as did other things.

Those that smoked pot only? Mainly a mellow crowd, very polite, and most seemed to have quite a bit on the ball. All of them had jobs.

Those that drank only? Depends on the person, and job was not guaranteed.

Same with those that did everything.

If I worked at another bar? I'd want to work at a cannabis coffee house..

The name of this song is 'The Wildwood Flower'
Now 'The Wildwood Flower' is an old country classic
It gained a whole new popularity
The song isn't any more popular
But the flower is doin' real good

The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm
And we never knowed what it was called
Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed
I didn't gave it much thought...
One day I was out there talking to my brother
Reached down for a weed to chew on
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry
And then everything was gone
I Didn't know what happened
But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap

I come to and my brother was there
And he said, 'What's wrong with your eyes?'
I said, 'I don't know, I was chewing on a weed'
He said, 'Let me give it a try'
We spent the rest of that day and most of that night
Trying to find my brother, Bill
Caught up with him 'bout six o'clock the next mornin'
Naked, swinging on the windmill
He said he flew up there
I had to fly up and get him down
He was about half crazy

The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds
And put 'em in the sun to dry
Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em all
And put 'em in the corncob pipe
Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be a habit
We didn't see no harm
We thought it was kind of handy
Take a trip and never leave the farm

A big ol' puff on the wildwood weed
Next thing you know
We's just wandering behind the little animals
All good things gotta come to an end
And it's the same with the wildwood weed

One day this feller from Washington come by
And he spied us and he turned white as a sheet
And he dug and he burned
And he burned and he dug
And he killed all our cute little weeds
Then he drove away
We just smiled and waved
Sittin' there on that sack of seeds

Y'all come back now, ya hear

You know, the only reason pot is illegal is because of some racist douche named Henry P. Anslinger, who had a hard on for Blacks and Hispanics.

The whole thing was funded by a greedy publisher and a little explosive company called DuPont, who had just discovered how to make plastic from oil.

Funny story, back when I was bad into coke and snorting it was cutting it anymore I actually google how to Free Base. I only did that a few times and decided I was no better than a crack head.

Yeah...but what a rush...and that smooth, sweet taste!!!!
