Meh, no one cares anymore. In fact, no one has cared for about 15 years or so… no one with a life anyways.

Actually, the past three presidents all have admitted to smoking pot, so the didn’t inhale doesn’t really apply.

While I understand the principle, Marijuana is, in fact, a drug. A mood altering (psychoactive) one at that. Perhaps Ah-nold should edumacate himself a little more.
A psychoactive drug or psychotropic substance is a chemical substance that acts primarily upon the central nervous system where it alters brain function, resulting in temporary changes in perception, mood, consciousness and behaviour. These drugs may be used recreationally to purposefully alter one’s consciousness, as entheogens for ritual or spiritual purposes, as a tool for studying or augmenting the mind, or therapeutically as medication.
A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function.[3] There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage.[4]
In pharmacology, Dictionary.com defines a drug as “a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or *used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being*.”[4] Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.[5]
Recreational drugs are chemical substances that affect the central nervous system, such as opioids or hallucinogens.[5] They may be used for perceived beneficial effects on perception, consciousness, personality, and behavior.[5][6] Some drugs can cause addiction and habituation.[6]
Many natural substances such as beers, wines, and some mushrooms, blur the line between food and drugs, as when ingested they affect the functioning of both mind and body.

Actually, you are technically correct. The fact that the number of students has increased exponentially beyond the spending increases has nothing to do with it, of course. When I began school (just before Prop 13, so guess my age) CA was in the top 10 states for education funding. Now it’s 47th, and just cut it again. My kids are in LAUSD now, and their class sizes will be even larger next year, all of the teachers for my youngest daughter’s next grade have been canned and will be replaced by people who thought they had gotten out of the classroom and will be on pay cuts, so you can imagine their sunny outlooks…. Yes, so glad you are correct.

Paranoia and schizophrenic symptoms can only occur if it has been passed onto you from your parents/grandparents/and so on. If there is no such recording in your family tree you should be safe. Worst thing that can happen while smoking is that you fall a sleep.

I guess the size of the cig depends on if it’s hand-rolled or not. There are still a lot of people who buy tobacco in raw form and roll it themselves.

Uh, Matt, I’m pretty sure that’s the shadow from his finger, not a filter. Plus, keep in mind that he probably has big hands, have you seen a cigarette that larger before? I think not.
Also a couple of years ago, he was asked about ‘drugs,’ and if he had consumed drugs. He replied he hadn’t, and the reporter asked about the above film clip/shot, to which he replied (Arnold accent) “Marijuana is not a drug.”

Right, just like how for a while medicinal marijuana was legal but prescribing doctors would lose their license for prescribing it. Another Catch – 22.
PK does not approve of my history of pot links.
Just google “hemp industry and marijuana legality”
And it’s the third link down.

By: charro

charro — Fri, 15 May 2009 22:48:40 +0000

PK does not approve of my links.
Funnily, I have intentionally mixed liquor and roofies before and nothing happened. I went home conscious and alone, woke up alone and lived by myself. I guess something could have happened but I was out all night and roofies take about twenty minutes to take effect and only last for four to six hours. I was partying longer than that.
But yes I would love a drink.

By: ubr

ubr — Fri, 15 May 2009 22:48:25 +0000

yup. and the stamp act mentioned by charro is even weirder…
in order for you to legally possess marijuana you had to show up at the county court house and request a permit for said buds. the only way to get a permit was to have the marijuana on hand at the time of requesting the permit. so… they could arrest you for having the weed in the court house with no permit while you were waiting in line. a perfect catch-22.

Ubr, that’s what I heard too. Marijuana is extremely cheap to manufacture, and was in danger of bankrupting paper and timber industries. Hence the ban.

Wow here is something I didn’t know – Rohypnol (roofies) – which is illegal in the United States and is NOT used medicinally in the United States (known as the date rape drug) is a Schedule IV. Here is the definition of Schedule IV:
Schedule IV.—
(A) The drug or other substance has a low potential for abuse relative to the drugs or other substances in schedule III.
(B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
(C) Abuse of the drug or other substance may lead to limited physical dependence or psychological dependence relative to the drugs or other substances in schedule III. Control measures are similar to Schedule III. Prescriptions for Schedule IV drugs may be refilled up to five times within a six month period.”

More about Marijuana [Link] to Wiki article
Also during this time, Nixon commissioned the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse—known as the Shafer Commission after its chairman, Raymond P. Shafer—to study marijuana abuse in the United States. During his presentation of the commission’s findings to Congress, Shafer recommended the decriminalization of marijuana in small amounts, saying, “[T]he criminal law is too harsh a tool to apply to personal possession even in the effort to discourage use. It implies an overwhelming indictment of the behavior which we believe is not appropriate. The actual and potential harm of use of the drug is not great enough to justify intrusion by the criminal law into private behavior, a step which our society takes only ‘with the greatest reluctance.”
*Nixon buried this commission’s findings and went on to sign the Controlled Substances Act.*

i actually really appreciated the info. i just hadn’t been back to check it today.

i’m 100% clueless of the drug world. i’ve never used anything, never smoked even. i figure i’m on enough prescription medications that i’m not going to willingly put something ELSE in my body. so, when i ask questions about drugs i’m not being an a$$, i’m just trying to get caught up on the info.

He’s lost all credibility in my book after his recent shenanigans!

He wants to sell the LA Coliseum, a State and National Historic Monument on park land basically, something he doesn’t ‘own’ and has NO RIGHT to even offer for sale!

Much less finding a buyer – can’t take down the building, as it is a historic monument, and even if you could, you can’t build anything on the lot as it’s on park land!

I suppose he’s still smokin’!!!

probably, especially since outsourcing to mexico is just too logical.
although the gov’t could be smart and just sell the weed they confiscate at the mex/us border…
