People from all walks of life end up messed up on drugs. Marijuana can be a graveyard for ambition and lead to complacency and lower performance. However it does not compare in anyway with the total disasters that heavy alcohol consumption, crack, meth or heroin lead to, or all of the above. It's quite rare for anyone just to consume one type of drug too, so it's not really ever a case of one Vs another. A junkie might not smoke weed because it makes them feel weird, but they'll still knock back loads of vodka and smoke the odd rock of crack or do loads of other pharmaceuticals. So it's silly to talk of these substances like they are all done in isolation.

That’s true but addicts will always have a weapon of choice and when times get hard that weapon will take priority over all others.
I find the continued presentation of weed by many people as some harmless panacea and a bit anti authoritarian and kind of funky and funny to be irresponsible and an anachronism; especially now with these super hybrid ultra high THC strains available.
Saying that I do feel all narcotics should be decriminalized for a trial period and possibly legalized as the economic and social reasons are compelling although I have no idea how legislation could be implemented.
The war on drugs has failed. Completely and utterly. Drugs are easy to buy all over the world and there is a war going on in Mexico, due to being the funnel between the largest drug manufacturing nations in the world and the worlds number one consumer country, where murders per day are higher than the peak of the gulf war.
And it’s getting worse.

Well, the folks at the many dispensaries in California can attest to the fact that using weed is popular among all sorts of folks, and has nothing to do with hairstyle, age, wealth or profession.

I had a mate that did weed staying with me once - he sold my dog for animal experiments to feed his addiction.Lucky Lucan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 11:56 pmJust give it a few years and they'll be stealing and selling their kids for the devil's weed.newnewnewbie wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 9:58 pmWell, the folks at the many dispensaries in California can attest to the fact that using weed is popular among all sorts of folks, and has nothing to do with hairstyle, age, wealth or profession.

Potheads generally always end up thinking they are pirates.
First they start dressing like hippies, then dreds, then maybe beads in the hair, then maybe even abit of eye shadow...
Shiver me timbers!!

The reason with people having mental issues are the folowing
1. Some got it from their parents who are alcoholic or abuse of anything.
2. Some people that stuck about the past , no closure
3. Broken family issues
4. Just soak their own for no outlet
and the last reason when they get here to Khmer 440 , all of you are too friendly that you just jump in and instead of helping doing what is right to boost people, you just make fun of him or her. I am just telling the truth. If anyone is insane that refers including the mods. This is a forum anyone can say what they want but you are taking it so seriously and if the poster is not within your circle , what do you do? you block , you jump on them, swear at them . Can you please just be like TNH forum vietnam where it is clean and fun . and help each other. The world is already is mess.

I'm on TNH as sgreatsinger or something. They are liars and cheats over there and have their own little cliches. How do you come in here and get off like this?
Since you are new, just come on in here and ................ welcome. Did TNH kick you out?
