Things That Annoy You

[RavynousHunter]

I've never tried it. Then again, I don't drink or smoke either.

Brothers in sobriety?  Sweet.  I've never had a reason to get drunk, baked, or high on whatever your poison of choice might be.  I fail to see the point, honestly.  There's far, far cheaper ways to have fun and running from my pain is one thing, but hiding from it behind a veil of liquor and/or pharmaceuticals?  I'll pass, thankee.  It sounds quite boring to me, at the best of times.

When I'm high, my internal filter that says "you shouldn't say that" or "you should phrase that differently" goes out to lunch. I also get somewhat clumsy. When I come down I usually want to fall asleep and get cranky if I can't.

Any time I've smoked pot, it's been the exact opposite for me. I get so self-conscious that I can't do anything without a little voice going, "Was it weird for me to say that? Was it a weird tone of voice? Is everyone looking at me funny, or am I imagining things? Oh god, the way I moved my hand can't be normal, these people totally think I'm a freak. Should I be sitting like this? Do people normally sit like this? Fuck, how long have I been silent? Should I say something? Will it be weird if I say that? Shit, I hope I'm not moving my mouth along with everything I'm thinking."

I like to drink, but not to get drunk.  Just to a slight buzz.  Other than that, I really fear what would happen if I lost control of myself.

Pure comic gold, there Mlle . And so very true for most noobies. I don't do it anymore, not for a decade, but if I did out of the blue, I'd get that exact same inner dialogue popping up again.

Mum bitches constantly about how the phones are always dead. We have 8, and usually only 2 are charged. So recently I've been putting the phones back in their chargers as soon as mum stopped talking. She took that to mean she never puts them back.

At the risk of stating the obvious, that's a hell of a lot of phones for one house.

While I do not believe in the outright banning of pot, I do believe in keeping it controlled much like pain medication is. If people are going to smoke pot, they might as well be safe about it.

Even were I to accept the argument that any drug should be restricted for recreational use, the big difference is that you can overdose on opioids. I have yet to see a case of someone dying from too much marijuana use. Yes, the smoke could possibly cause problems in the long term, but I don't see the DEA going around banning cigarettes or incense. People are allowed to make personal choices about those things.

That wasn't the point but thanks for believing as such.

Well, you still didn't answer my question: if marijuana should be restricted the same as painkillers, what other recreational drugs should face the same restriction? If none others, what makes pot unique?

[Shane for Wax]

You never asked that question of me until just now.

And neither is this the thread for it.

Either way, it really depends, now doesn't it? For me, marijuana is one of the least harmful drugs that you can get that is still illegal. Well, in most places.
