Popular Post BritManToo Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 It's sort of true. Anyone with plenty of money in the UK snorts cocaine and drinks fine wines. The lower income peeps just drink alcohol and smoke weed. At work we always used to say, 'snorting cocaine is god's way of saying you're paid too much money'. 3 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 Could it be that weed helps people divorce themselves from materialistic culture? Keep up with the Joneses. Why?

I think you may be on to something ,in fact I'm convinced. Further more I have never met a more materialistic nation of people than the Thais.despite the teachings of the Buddha.

I guess they lost that page All religions preach the same thing regarding materialism, yet who is at the top of the financial food chain? Deeply religious men who wear small, black hats. Show me someone who was wealthy and renounced materialism. They're as rare as hen's teeth. People smoke dope because they were never in the game in the first place. Nothing wrong with that, but you can't renounce what you've never had. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The data doesn't prove much about why people take drugs. That is why catching dealers never results in the end of drug taking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for long time users of cannabis it could be difficult to give a coherent answer.

Dioj Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I'm poor and uneducated and I smoke a sh*t tons of weed. But I know a guy who is a genius, has more money than he knows what to do with, and he smokes twice as much as me. So now what? My above comment is about as pointless and inconclusive as this entire inane thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It is like Bollywood - the poorer are happy to escape reality for a mental break. Some go to the cinema (like in Mumbai), others get completely drunk (half Isan) and some smoke weed. Latter is also smoked - quite apparently - most likely in various government offices which spring to mind with fantastic statistics, forecasts and assumptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotpepper53 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It’s fascinating that with all the violence, death and family break ups that alcohol and alcoholism cause, they are trying to scare everyone with the evil cannabis… 1. cannabis use does not incite violence…it usually has a calming effect 2. cannabis use does not cause addiction… unless that individual has addictive behaviors… in which case everything can become addictive to them…hinting at psychological problems… 3. Legal Cannabis use should be restricted to adult use just like alcohol… I am over 70 years of age, I have yet to heard of a medically verified death cause only by consumption of cannabis…can not say that about alcohol. In the States, after the states legalize cannabis, alcohol sales and deaths from alcohol are down…sorta like what’s happening here in Thailand…the big alcohol distilleries/ beverage companies are losing money because of cannabis…so now the BigMoney is pushing back…. The amount of death and destruction sanctioned by BigMoney/Alcohol is easily discoverable for any country you can name… The governmental studies done in the States like the NIH and the like, are bias… I mean who wants to believe any thing the Government puts out, NIH, Biden, and Congress… A lot of us are going to be very surprised at the release of information within the next 6 months… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotpepper53 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The basis for making cannabis illegal has multiple selfish interests… 1920s…every farmer was “paid” to grow hemp/cannabis for fibers in rope making…hemp/ cannabis processors soon were expanding in to “finer fibers”, producing paper, oils, medicine and fine clothing manufacturing… The largest paper user was the big newspaper owner William Randolph Hearst, who had invested heavily in tree/forest companies to supply paper…hemp/cannabis paper production seriously hurt the big newspaper companies investment in trees/ forests and also forest’s management companies…hemp/cannabis production in one year could produce more paper year for year than tree/forest production simply because trees take longer to grow…one acre of hemp/cannabis can produce more than one acre of trees in one year… On 7/13/2021 at 7:08 PM, wombat said: here is one hot off the press On 7/20/2021 at 4:05 PM, mrfill said: Nonsense meme. Now read about Randolph Hearst and his lobbying to get hemp of all kind banned so as not to damage his newsprint industry. DuPont Company was also on he verge of releasing it’s own discovery of of synthetic fibers… The finer fabrics and threads of hemp/cannabis production were an immediate threat to DuPont’s new synthetic fibers and the cotton industry…Hemp/cannabis is easy to grow, in any warm climate, wet or dry, does not require special care…cotton on the other hand requires multiple treatments of fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides for growth… DuPont/ Newspapers (Heirst) were exceptionally weathly and hemp/cannabis production was cutting into profits…They hired a “propagandist” to takeout the hemp/cannabis industry… On 7/13/2021 at 1:32 PM, wombat said: And…the rest is history… It is ALL about MONEY and CONTROL… Within six months… All the lies will be revealed… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think marijuana is as benign as people say it is, but it's far less destructive than alcohol. There were a few families I knew as a child that were torn apart by an alcoholic parent. Schizophrenics and weed are a very bad combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
