No, not really.I have my opinion and you yours. Can you link me to the previous. I'd love a good read.
Why would you enjoy reading about people getting upset and angry? That's just sad.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. A heroin addict is not the same as a habitual marijuana smoker. Whens the last time you heard of a stoner killing someone for a dime bag or overdosing?
I've heard of a lot of murders and drug related crimes over a bag of weed. It seems to be the drug of choice in my home town. People invest their lives in growing and dealing, and when they get ripped off they go ape shit. It's not because of them using the drugs necessarily, but it is still because of the drug being illegal.

If there is an illegal substance, people are going to commit crime that is related to the illegal drug. the drug itself is interchangeable. Saying that stoners are peaceful and don't commit crime is not a viable argument. There are some people out there that want a joint so bad that they will commit a crime to get one.

This is from personal experience. I know it strays from the argument a bit, but it pisses me off when people say stoners are harmless and nothing will happen to you. I spent enough time hiding in closets and being afraid for my life to just leave this false stereotype alone.
Actually, this is generally the case with anything illegal. Abortion was the same way. When it was illegal before Roe v. Wade, people still got them. Legality has allowed for some regulation on how abortion is supposed to be performed to help make it safer, but it still doesn't fix all the issues. You'll still hear horror stories about terrible abortion clinics.

Yup. With dealing with anything illegal you are faced with more severe consequences.

Frown: Indians lost last night.

Smile: I didn't.

Those are all ones, so it isn't nearly as much as it looks like. Had three friends over last night for five card draw. We played for around seven straight hours, and for the first couple of hours I was folding like an envelope. Luckily lady luck showed up and I finally started getting some good hands. Fun times.

That stack wouldn't last twenty minutes in a decent strip club. Some lap dances cost around $200.00


Plus, you never, ever tip with ones.

Strip club etiquette.

Two dollar bills are the lowest you should ever tip. If you tip well you may find yourself getting free private dances. Also, slide the bouncers a Jackson as well and they'll take care of your entourage.

That and inflation. $1 isn't as much as it used to be.

Even in 1997 a buck tip was seen as an insult.
