I was thinking that that was some joke video, a parody of those crack cowboy videos or whatever, until he got to the part about boiling it with ammonia.

Side note: every time I see this thread I think it's about prostitution. Just goes to show where my priorities are, I guess.

I like how he says to boil the grounds in water and then filter them through a towel or old t-shirt or something equally filthy into a jar or something.

If only there was some kind of paper filter we could use to remove the coffee grounds from the boiling water and get this "coffee liquid" into a separate container.

Perhaps even, dare I say, some kind of "coffee-maker" machine meant specifically to brew this illicit initial extract!

Conason says what I'm thinking: the disappointing thing about the Phelps story is not that he smoked pot, it's that he's acting contrite about it instead of saying, "Of course I did, what the fuck is wrong with that?"

On the "harshin' my buzz" front: link found between marijuana use and testicular cancer.

Anecdotally, the only person I've ever known who had testicular cancer was in fact a pothead.

I guess anecdotal evidence works, after all!

JDigital · « **Reply #64 on:** February 10, 2009, 09:13:43 AM »

Unless other people you know have also had testicular cancer, and only a stoner is humble enough to admit it.

He was very forthright.

: Hey, man! What have YOU been up to?

: Oh, you know. Surviving cancer. I'm hanging a little toward the center now, if you know what I mean. How's by you?

: I honestly can't complain.

So, Obama answered the "wouldn't it be a great idea to legalize pot" question.

With "No I don't think so".

Seriously, you're not going to convince the dude that very publically did cocaine in teen years and had to break himself from it after that drugs may not be all that bad.

Yeah, you know, it's funny that way.

I know a couple of people who were heavy drug users in their youth who gave it up afterwards. Not one of them thinks legalization is a good idea.

...but they weren't addicted to pot.

Legalization of pot or heavy drugs?

Uh, yes, but that is because the guy who is selling you pot might be able to hook you up with a guy who sells coke. If you're buying pot from your corner grocery, maybe not so much.

We need a "split this thread" signal. Like the Clutch signal, but with an actually active moderator.

Either.

I heard on the radio the other day that half of the criminals in prison in NH right now are charged solely with drugs possession. That's a lot of tax money.

(You could make that kind of tax money by legalizing pot and then taxing the shit out of it, I think.)

People who smoke pot do not say to their dealer, "this pot is good, but I think I would prefer the yayo."

That said, the reason Obama probably doesn't want to legalize pot is pot makes you lame.

Purely on anecdotial evidence, living in Victoria where a good chunk of the population smokes the stuff, and meeting people much more interesting than myself who I see on a regular basis who smoke the stuff, I'm just going to go ahead and call you on your bs there.

Hard

Review your statistics, review your facts because I believe you're just swallowing USGov Props at the moment.

I personally don't like being around people who smoke a lot of pot because they're typically not only boring, but in to very boring things (such as more pot or simply being high). I did my time doing drugs as a teenager and had a bit of fun, but I definitely feel (from personal experience) that smoking pot is a very antisocial drug, especially compared to legal things like smoking and drinking. Is this a side effect of it being illegal? Possibly, but (again, from personal experience) pot seems to sap the initiative out of folks, especially through continued use.

Brentai · « **Reply #79 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:02:33 PM »

Honestly I think you're reversing your cause and effect.
