- Mary Jane is legal and tobacco isn't. Oh right, the tobacco industry can buy politicians.
- Mary Jane is legal and alcohol isn't. Alcohol is perhaps the biggest killer in numbers in America, especially in terms of people using it killing other innocent people. Oh right, another big industry pushing big bucks in Washington.
I have watched Penn & Teller's BS. It has been on here at the weekly a few times because unfortunately we have Showtime here. The one about prostitution was funny although that show has way to much flesh for a guy with my weaknesses to be watching. Also every other word that comes out of Penn's mouth is either F, S, WTF, or BS!
Listening to Michael Savage talk about smoking pot, it does seem to damage your brain cells. At the very least I believe it causes loss of motor control and control in other parts of the soul. The workings of this is way too complicated for me to describe. I can only describe my own experiences from smoking pot over 30 years ago when I was 19. I smoked it in total about 15 times when I was 19 over about a 6 month span and that was it:
The first few times I didn't feel the effects of it. When it finally did influence me, I did feel the euphoria such as joy seemed to be radiating from thighs in my legs or say from a certain tooth in my mouth--very strange I know. Also music seemed so much more beautiful every time I smoked it and listened to music. Also visions and I mean powerful visions would flash in my mind. These were also bizzare such as bright and intense pictures of pretty girl's faces that I liked in high school. Sometimes a beautiful beach scene and at other times Flintstones cartoons very bright! Yes, I know it is weird, but this is what I experienced. One time a voice said to me twice, "you're going to be in grave danger". And always after smoking pot I would be come physically very tired. On time I almost passed out in the front seat of my car. These people who said they were more alert driving when they were stoned are idiots IMHO, but maybe it effects everyone differently.
About the 10th time I smoked it, something happened that made me seriously want to stop. I felt the usual effects, but a certain degree of fear began to envelop me and seemed to be radiating from my heart. Also, in my mind there was a powerful vortex that looked like a tornado that was sucking me down. I was inside of it and going down and I didn't know how far down I would go, but I knew I probably wouldn't be able to get out of it.
This repeated itself a few times until the last time the fear was incredibly intense. I can only attritube it to a direct attack from a demonic spirit of fear. That is the only thing that can cause such an intensity of fear. I was again inside the vortex and believed I was being sucked down into hell. After that experience I never touched the stuff again.
No one dies from it, and it isn't harmless? I didn't die, but it was very harmful and even dangerous for me. I believe it is a very self-destructive behavior. I sure can't justify people who get drunk and kill somebody with a car either though.
