We aren't talking about what
some users out of a group
experience, we are talking
about what I personally
experience. Anecdotal or
not, it's factual.

Why haven't you sought counselling
for your vegaphobia?

I would have had the urge to
shop whether or not I toked.
I had fun and I don't feel guilt.
I came home with some great
stuff too.

Why are you asuming I abuse
pot rather than use it? What
addiction? I think we have a
case of Reefer Madness
mindset.

I don't know any violent people
well enough to know what they
are like when they smoke pot.
I don't plan on ever knowing it
first hand. No one I have ever
hung out with is violent. The
most violence in my life is this
newsgroup! You trolls and
your insults are the most
violently insane sounding
people I have ever 'met'.

I'm speaking from first hand
knowledge. You're not. I
don't detach.

I agree and if an insane person
smokes pot, they will probably
still be insane after. Maybe a
little mellower though.
