Joe Rogan and Pot

[TheGDog]

Relax.....just breath.......it’ll be ok. It’s Friday

The point I was making is more about how Bourdon, red wine and now GMO weed isn’t that big of a deal to me and so if they took it away I’d be fine. It wouldn’t change my life or ruin my Friday’s.

The whole world shut down and stayed inside for over a year because some people could die if they caught the COVID-19.

Most people would never think of sneaking into a foreign country illegally. And yet countries need to build walls.

I’m remember when medical marijuana was being pushed in California and we all thought what a joke it was. Fast forward and now we all can’t live without the recreational marijuana.

Why dont we be a more little progressive and jump right to the recreational fentanyl and crack debate.

It’s a forum. I’m just saying what’s on my mind from my perspective. None of us are getting out of this thing alive.

Personally it upsets me that we CAN'T truly exercise our freedom and indeed, purchase such items as fentanyl, etc. My freaking discs are buggin something fierce right now, and these Tylenol #3's with Codeine suck because they make my skin itch somethin' fierce.

Think about it. Unless it radioactive material... you SHOULD be able to purchase pretty darn near whatever the bleep you want! Long as you're not being an a$$hole with it. It's YOUR money, you ALREADY had to cough up the loot like child-support to the govt when they took off the top before it even got into your hands.

Far as I'm concerned they can go F themselves. My mind is on my money and my money's on my mind. Ain't no way in Hell you'll never catch me slippin' and getting high enough to where I won't make sure I handle my "bidness".

And you know why? Cause I don't have anybody else to rely on. Simple as that. If either one of us (Mama and I) were to falter long enough in income revenue stream, ain't nobody gonna be bailin' my a$$ out. As the hard worker I am, that needs to be respected... thus... when I, as a typical American who works WAY more than most other humans on this planet do.. realize that I need some relief... I've freakin' earned that isht!

Thru nothing more then talent and determination, I, I with just a High School Diploma and a so-so amount of CC credits to my name... thru showing and proving my worth, work ethic, aptitude and intelligence, got taken under the wing and tutored by other talented professionals as a young man and am proud to say I'm part of a Team that makes the Nations leading software in it's category. People putting on their resume that they are familiar with using the system I have a big hand in developing is something which is an asset on their resumes for getting hired at Law Firms. And I'm damn proud of that. And I love our users for giving a boy from the hood a whole 'nother trajectory in life. Hell, I've even troubleshoot'd and found bugs in other companies software throughout the years that lead to them fixing their products too! So if once in a Blue Moon Daddy gets to feeling like he needs a lil "Stay-cation" (Because with my do-overs in terms of marriage and getting a late start on children and home ownership, I'll be damn lucky if I can get it all paid off just before legal retirement age if all goes right) by virtue of a substance helping to re-orient my brains nature which typically runs on a whole nother level of processor speed then most other folks... than there is ZERO shame in that.. as I consistently earned it.

I learned a long time ago that other peoples personal life choices are of no concern to me. Now if they are trying to do something that directly affects me then I would have an issue with it. However i don't see joe rogan walking behind me high as a kite with a loaded weapon on a hunting trip happening at anytime in my future so good for him.

Nobody called him a commie nutsack, those are your words.

They guy said it wasn’t important to him so he wouldn’t care if it’s illegal. Ok fine, AR15 and semi auto firearms and magazines that hold more than 5 rounds aren’t important to me so I don’t care if they are illegal….

It’s perfectly acceptable to not care that much about something for your own personal use while at the same time understanding that it is something other people like and should have the right to have and use.

The problem these days is that people can’t see the center line of truth, it’s one side over the other. Not many people can say that the January 6th riot at the Capitol was ridiculous AND the 100 days of vile the protests over the summer were also ridiculous….it’s one or the other for most people.

As we’re hearing some people are very passionate about their need for weed.

I’ve suffered from very debilitating sciatica nerve damage in my back for 30 years. And the drugs aren’t what finally cured me it was exercise, stretching and a positive attitude.

To me legalizing recreational marijuana is just another nail in the coffin to this great country. It’s hard enough already to get jobs filled here.

And I know the argument is always in a perfect world and if everyone follows the rules and is responsible in reality is it’s not a perfect world people don’t follow rules and not everybody is responsible.

If you’re able to handle your liquor and puff on the weekends and do a little blow every now and then and can handle it then consider yourself fortunate because a large number of our population cannot.

So just like having dinner with my brother and having an ice tea rather than an a beer I’m not gonna rail about my rights because I’m thinking of others.
But again, that’s me.

To each his own.

While you didn’t call him a commie nutsack, you started drilling him like he’s as much.

I know what the man said. It gave me pause too. Until he clearly explained why he said what he did. It doesn’t appear as you are making it. That’s not my words. That’s his.

While you, and society in general, may not deal with it personally, everybody does without knowing. Taxpayers bear the burden of paying for the abuse of alcohol and drug use. I deal with drunks, meth heads, over doses, on a daily basis. The majority are on some sort of gov't assistance and/or medicaid; paid for by taxpayers. Not to mention hospitals being full of these same people, law enforcement being tied up on calls with them, and ambulances (me) having to deal with them, many times the same people over and over.

I personally think there should be a limit on emergency response calls and narcan. We have a local guy that has been narcanned at least 6 times. At what point is the guy supposed to value his own life more than the people that keep showing up to save him......

Some places do have limits. We give out Narcan to anyone that wants it, free of charge, don't need a reason, can be anonymous.

Some governor decided to defund and close a bunch of mental hospitals -now those folks use your ambulance as a taxi to the hospital, live on the streets, and are generally a burden on resources

Pisses off the people its administered to because it ruins their high.

"What the **** man, you stole my trip!" 9/10 times is the response.

In the early days we used to slam folks with narcan because we thought it was hilarious. But we got tired of the fighting, puking and yelling that always ensued. Now we give just enough to make them breath, not enough to make them talk. Way easier. Titrate to effect.

100% true. I rarely give more than 1mg any more

Negative... we're passionate about being left the freak alone by an all to intrusive governance.. fueled buy a majority uneducated and emotionally-led citizenry... many of whom are indoctrinated in "magical thinking" which spurns their over-zealous holier-than-thou virtue-signalling.

Geniunely asking out of curiosity here, they even say that after you tell them you were called because their none-too-smart-selves stopped breathing and were turning blue?

Yes. That or they deny any narcotic use. The usual excuse is "I was just really tired."

Why not get on his case because he didn’t just leave the nine-to-smart person the

“ freak alone by an all to intrusive governance.. fueled buy a majority uneducated and emotionally-led citizenry... many of whom are indoctrinated in "magical thinking" which spurns their over-zealous holier-than-thou virtue-signalling.”

Don’t answer.

Ok. So I’m F’n brainwashed about all these drug rehab centers we can’t seem to make fast enough and the sober homes going up all over our neighborhoods are all about propaganda?

No, its about profits. You should read into the scam that is drug rehab. There is a movie called "Body Brokers" that is pretty interesting.

"As the film dramatizes, when the Affordable Healthcare Act was signed in 2008, it required every healthcare provider to cover substance abuse treatment. “Since the bill was passed,” he says, “nearly 2,000 sober livings, 100 in-patient treatment centers, and 200 detox facilities have opened up just in Southern California alone. That is nearly 35,000 beds that need to be filled each month, and almost 500,000 that need to be filled each year,” bringing a profit of around $12 billion annually—again, just in Southern California."

Sure. I get it. Good info but are you saying we don’t have drug attics that we need to now try to help get their lives back?
