I have never smoked it but I would try it if it was legal and wouldn't get me kicked out of medical school.

Don't you have to smoke something to be considered a proper Muslim? If you went to the Middle East as your white boy self claiming Islam, and keeled over every time you tried to smoke, you would be laughed back to Phoenix.

Lol, what? No where in the Quran does it say anything remotely close to this.


Are you referring to the hookah? It originated in India/Pakistan, and Persia. Historically, none of these nations were muslim. Regardless, smoking is typically frowned upon in the Middle East, and typically by Islam altogether.

I know people who would regularly and I know drunkarD who might on ocassion if it were legal. So, would you?

If you don't mind, those who aren't into the sort of thing need not vote. Response, cool, but if you're against it no matter what then adding a vote to the poll skews the poll.

I was a very heavy smoker when I was six. I smoked every butt I could scavenge from the dust of the rodeo bleachers, occasionally finding a whole pack. I rinsed out beer cans or bottles for the last drop. I let grapes rot so I could get the zingy taste of "new wine".

I clearly remember the day all that changed. I had found a whole pack, and I was sitting on telephone poles lying on the ground behind the bleachers when a man walked by, took a good look at me, and declared my identity. Saying "You're MJ's son, aren't you?????" with a very knowing smirk on his face. I didn't know why I was so ashamed of that until many years later. I only knew my dad had left town and shacked up with some wicked woman, and left my mom to fend for herself with all his kids.

Years later, my older sister told me how she had seen my dad in his shiny blue Mercury cruisin The Strip with hookers hanging on his arm. And an older brother told me how Professor MJ had come out of the science building to smoke a while at the busiest sidewalk on campus in the 100% Mormon, Church-owned college with the cool indifference of a devil-may-care teenager. And how when presented with a chalice as an award for being the "Most Popular" Professor, he had set the awards assembly ablaze by just turning that mug over, and complaining "What??? No Beer???".

I would have gone the way of my Father except for that mirthful man who was mocking both me and my father by seeing my early resemblance to him.

Likewise, if society just hooted at it, instead of banning it, the whole drug culture would probably just fold.

Sir Richard Branson
Michael Phelps
Michael Bloomberg
President Obama
Ted Turner
Stephen King
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Bill Clinton
Bill Murray
Kareem
Bill Gates
Chris Farley
Carlos Santana
Chris Rock
Conan O'Brian
Drew Barrymore
Eminem
John Lennon
Neil Diamond...

All current or past "potheads" There are many, many more.

What makes you think those people on the list aren't needy?
Also the definition of "loser" is up for debate and depends on the person using the word. Some people are quite rich and successful, but are still "losers" in other aspects of life.

I am not saying any of these people on the list are definitely losers, but they are all needy in that they desire greatly to have power, money, respect, and/or attention from as many people as possible. I would say that most of them don't fit the lazy stereotype that is often associated with "potheads".

Also saying someone stopped smoking pot, and later became very successful should not be an endorsement that smoking pot was good for them. For your list of people that are or were "potheads" there is a much larger list of people that are or were "potheads" that are not successful.

Some people may think I was smoking pot as I posted this because it makes so much sense, and is awesome, but I was not. This is me, all natural. Things just slow down for me naturally, and I see the whole world in slow motion. I don't need to escape my world of troubles, they usually need to escape from me.

He didn't say neddy and/or losers. He said "needy loser". As in the type of loser is a needy one. So by pointing out that they are not losers disqualifies his statement right of the bat.
