Didnt Ben Franklin once say beer is proof god loves us. Is alcohol not a drug?

Are you calling Ben Franklin a drug addict?

Not calling him an "addict". Just stating that he, as well as probably everybody else on the list, used some form of drug at least recreationally. Because marijuana is illegal in part of the country, uninformed/ignorant people call anyone who uses marijuana an addict. that's not always the case

IIRC, ol Benji had some issues with opium.

Alcohol, pot, sweet tea, whatever.....it's all bad for you.

Moderation is the key word missing in this thread. If you can't consume responsibly, don't blame the drug for your lack of will.

Your common sense has no place here!

Man, that's totally on me. Summer doldrums have me not thinking so clear.

If someone would cover the possibility of aliens & bigfoot, I could get back to my regularly scheduled dumbassery.

You're going to need the extra time....we gotta fix cancer, armadillo kidnapping and football recruiting...before Monday! :tease2: :jpshakehead: :rtfm:

For some things, bub, it's just too late.

 

[darkgable]

Got it. High and mighty. Above all others.

Above all others by helping people work through addiction and mental health issues. Hmm?

Referencing your post you only referenced

LSD
Potheads

So, I looked for drugs not alcohol. If you want to change the parameters each time to try and prove a point fine. I guess we are going to also consider caffeine a drug. If that's the case our current president is probably a drug addict. (though this would explain some decisions)

 

[pualsline]

Pancreatic cancer is hardly connected with smoking pot. However, you missed the point completely which isn't surprising.

I have actually heard there is a connection with cancer and artificial food coloring...strange I know

I was joking.

 

[ScreaminVolHawkins]

So you think Ben Franklin is a joke? The guy was a major participant is the greatest revolution/revelation that our species have ever experienced and you think he is a joke just because he may have drinking some beer. WOW.

 

[ric1958]

There actually have been studies showing marijuana's effect on brain development and its affects on memory.

Yes, you are correct. Pot does 2 things to you it gives you memory loss and I can`t remember what the other thing is.

Uh.......No.

Global warming caused by high armadillo flatulence. The theory is that government cheese may solve it.

Government cheese will help with armadillo flatulence because armadillo's are lactose intolerant. Government cheese is not cheese at all...Problem Solved!

Some evidence of link to schizophrenia.

Our current president has admitted to being a recreational pot smoker throughout his college years. And it impaired him so much he only finished at the top of his class...at Harvard law school. What a waste of talent.

The way you have addressed people on here as tards, etc. Lets say I'm glad you aren't "helping" anyone with your judgements and misinformation.

The other thing is the munchies.... I can't remember what else I was gonna say.

clearly the joke didnt land with you or the original poster. follow the posts and then re-read mine. completely messing with him, i thought it would land. and i am drinking a cold one

I haven't heard that but often times very odd things can be linked and that link may pan out or even lead to the discovery of other causes (for example, a link to food dyes may lead to looking at commonalities that foods that use dye might have in common and in turn a wholly different cause might be discovered). Correlation isn't causation but it sometimes helps determine causation.

Some evidence of link to schizophrenia.

Indeed there is. Basically, schizophrenia is believed to be triggered early for those who are already likely to develop schizophrenia. Without marijuana use the onset of illness might happen later on rather than sooner but it's not believed to cause schizophrenia in the general populace or even those susceptible to it. It's believed to trigger the illnesses onset.

However, it's also something where more research is needed because the schizophrenia evidence is quite weak at this point.

That said, I'd advise anyone with a parent or sibling with schizophrenia to stay the h3ll away from it because of the increased risk they already have of developing the illness. Better safe than sorry.

Where are his grades posted?

It did land. I was just seeing how many paragraphs I could drag out of a responding poster while limiting what I posted. Thanks for making me type all of this.
