No. Hoochie doesn't make the sky bluer, or the roses smell better. If they smoked too much they would not deny it, they wouldn't even remember it!

You obviously haven't done it right. Next time, inhale sincerely.

I don't plan any next time. Unless it is on my death bed, maybe

I did it right in the past, and inhaled. The sky was not bluer. I just lost some brain cells that took years to replenish..

That's debatable.

Dad, you really shouldn't give these people such an easy straight line......

Weed makes everything more pleasant. Including visuals, including smells, and especially including tatstes. They say sometimes first-time users don't really feel it. Maybe you should do it again and discover God's true form?

That's nice to know --- especially when someone is operating a coin press with a co-worker who can see the GO button so much greener.

What do you mean by that?

I consider it more of a hyper evolved weed. I also found it was harder for me to quit than tobacco, somehow. Strangely, as I was in the process of quitting, I found the stuff several times. A bag in a washroom, thai sticks on the street, in a bag, joints, etc. Needless to say, it took a while longer than I planned But I started to get suspicious that it was not really an accident, so had to put my foot down, and decided not to take more, even if I found it. Strange, but true.

I had heard that it took 5 years to recover for every one year one took it. Not sure if that was true science, but it looked official in the paper when I read it.
I did find that it affected the memory. I would recommend people stay away from it, a clear mind is much more exciting.

Eh, in moderation it is better than a lot of things we do everyday. It's not for everybody and you should never let anything take control of your life whether it's drugs, food, money, etc. I enjoy it every now and then but I also realize that I have important things to do so if I think I shouldn't partake I won't. It's called discipline and personal responsibility, something most Americans lack (hence part of the reason for our current economic woes).

If you've ever seen an old coin press, it is a massive piece of machinery that goes from the floor to the ceiling. A large cylinder rises up, then comes slamming down on a piece of forging and stamps the serial number on it. The whole floor shakes. You then reach in, take out the forged piece, put a new one in, and press another serial number on it.

Now imagine your co-worker high on Marijuana working with you.

Imagine that same co-worker drunk on the wine Jesus made for his wedding guests.

Now you know why we're not supposed to work on Sunday ---

Seriously though, it was grape juice.

I would hope that anyone who uses marijuana recreationally would be responsible enough to do it at home on their own time. It's no different from somebody enjoying a toddy in their own home. People can drink all they want but they need to be prepared to take the consequences of drinking outside of their off time. Same with anything else. Discipline and personal responsibility... And I would rather them be high on marijuana than drunk...

Many people are better off staying away from some things. Not all have perfect control over things like gambling.

It was fermented grape juice. Possibly not very strong. But it was not possible to preserve fresh juice with out refrigeration in those days.

Didn't seem like they were working that day. Wedding parties could be like that. What someone drove a donkey home too fast?

Well, since marijuana does induce a certain degree of stupor and ineptitude, I do not recommend being high while on the job. Nor do I recommend wearing a blindfold, a swimsuit, or a big foam hat to your job, unless your job necessitates it. Otherwise, it's just unprofessional and may negatively affect your efficiency.
There are a few good arguments against the use of marijuana. The fact that it's dangerous to work a coin press while under the influence isn't one of them.

Wow. I wish i lived somewhere where people left bags of weed out in the streets...

You mean Saturday -- God supposedly gave this instruction to the Hebrews; they probably know what day it is.

Seriously though, it was grape juice.

Seriously though, the Bible says it was wine.

 

[Nathan Poe]

Clearly you've never been involved in a wedding. Jesus was certainly on duty that day.

Seems awfully petty to call upon the power of God to serve as the caterer -- unless there was another reason Jesus would be responsible for the refreshments...

What, drunkeness is not sinful before the automobile was invented?
