  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I think that when one smokes pot it changes you and makes you dumb. But then you are so dumb, you think you are smart. And because of the change pot makes, you see your memory of yourself before smoking as less than now. So, you are happy and think you are smarter and more creative. But of course if you are dumber, you are more in the dark and so obviously tipping things over in the dark is more creative in a sense.

But I think pot has a place.
I know right.

Last time I was around people who were smoking weed, they were going on about how it amplifies sound and that you can hear even the slightest sound really clearly. He lives next to a really busy road with trucks constantly going by, and he's like "Woah man, could you guys here that car? It was so loud" and I'm like, yeah it's because it was really loud :doh:
You can't hang out with stoned people sober, it's way too annoying.

the sun is out today, and I want to do something fun outside. Any suggestions?

Archery. :cool: This is something I want to learn.

Bush walk if you live near such an area.
Bike riding
Walking/hiking
Public outside pool
Beach
Scenic Cessna ride

May sound boring, but I enjoy simple gardening type stuff on sunny days - pulling weeds, picking fruit, watering veggies.

From what I've always heard, you have to smoke A LOT of weed for it to have permanent effects.

LSD/Acid is a huge NOPE. Is is just a myth that it never fully leaves your system?

Im no professional but as far as I understand it, it DOES remain in your system for life.

Not in a form that will cause you to fail a common drug test, but it is my understanding it remains in your spinal fluid for life.

It was my "poison of choice" back in the day, so its a good thing companies don't do drug testing by spinal tap (far to dangerous, the smallest of slips and a person is paralyzed)

people often use the whole "body is a temple" justify that drugs are wrong, but then go eat a Super-Sized Big Mac meal.

Don't be drunk with wine for that is in excess. Don't be drunk with wine, unless it's the Spirit kind.
I heard a man who had been addicted to harddrugs say: If I knew they had this stuff in church, I'd have stopped with it long time ago.

To be fair, there are still people who think McDonald's food is relatively healthy...

^_^ I always scratch my head when I hear "Healthy" menus

Really? IF someone is THAT concerned with what they put in their body..... do you think you will find them in line at your "restaurant"?

I have never thought *5 min drive home* "Oh, look at the grease this bag is soaking up.... this must be the most nutritious and healthy meal I will eat all week."

I guess you solved a mystery about why people eat there though, it taste bad, it MUST be good for you.^_^

(shrug) Some people treasure their ignorance. It's just easier that way.

YES. I hate it...but unfortunately if they refuse to listen then there's nothing you can do about it.

Awesomeness. What about non-Florida people?

Of course! This is just one of many pictures I've come across. If there's a cool hotel in your city or state, please share it!

^^JDrops; I've always wanted to try one of those coffin hostels :D - I tried to book one when I went to Tokyo a few years ago but all of the ones I found were for men only.

I dont believe weed kills brain cells, I think like other drugs it simply inhibits brain function.

I used to smoke pot all the time, ALL the time, I would do STUPID stuff and seemed much dumber than when I wasnt a smoker, but when I quit I wasn't brain dead.

If LSD doesn't kill them, weed doesn't. I think the reason people who have used LSD seem dumber is a simple case of "rewiring"

I did plenty of that too, in the case of LSD however the connection from my brain to my tongue seems a bit slower than it was before so I stumble over words etc. It isn't that I GOT dumber, I just SOUND it. It also doesnt help with ADHD as now I see something shinny and I am like a kitten chasing a string.

Neither do I suggest using however.

Yeah, I used to smoke weed every day for a long time too. The only change I've noticed is that I'm more productive now. I used to smoke before and after work literally every day, and while I was very productive during work, after work I'd just play video games and mess around. Now I'm using that time to do other stuff, improve my craft, and so on.
