Here's the deal. Either you have some knowledge that I smoke pot, or
you are just a blow hard idiot. So, either provide facts, or be known
from now on, as the blow hard idiot, that makes wild, unproven
allegations about someone, just because something pops into your
feeble mind. Facts please. I'll be waiting.

Looks like you've been called out Henry.
Might be time to disappear for a few months, as is your usual mo.



Seems as if in the past, basskisser, stated he grew the dreaded weed.
So,
would be a pretty safe assumption he smoked it, or he is farming for
profit.

A couple of little flaws there, neighbor:

First, you'd have to show that basskisser made such an admission (he
hasn't, so
far as I can determine). Second, IF the first statement were true (and
that's
open to question), you could not logically or reasonably infer both that
he used
the crop AND that he grows it to sell.

Since cannabis is not exactly renowned as a decorative houseplant, it is
reasonable to assume that EITHER of the two conclusions is true--but not
both.

Come to think of it, though, there ARE many people right her in Northern
California who do NOT use marijuana, but who grow it nevertheless--as a
medicine
that has proven benefits.

But I find an argument like this one to be very much a red herring: who
the hell
cares whether someone has used cannabis? It's quite a benign substance,
as
drugs go. I've just never seen a lot of attraction in anything that
basically
makes you stupid.

Give me a nice Balvenie any day.

I put the "OR" in the statement Joe. So he could be doing either OR both.
I know some who did do both and some who just smoked the stuff. Never knew
nyone who grew, and did not partake. Any good farmer has to check his crop.
As to the admission, was a few years ago, under one of his posting alias he
commented about growing the Dreaded Weed. The funniest growing story, was
about 25 years ago, I owned an construction equipment leasing company in
Concord area of Calif. The yard was shared with another company, whose
owner was from Missouri and kept goats as both a pet and to keep the weeds
down. His son would fence off an area of his yard and always when the dope
was about 12" tall the goats would get in and harvest it. There is
absolutely no way to keep goats contained. I personally think it ought to
be legalized with the only criteria, is you drive while toking, you lose the
car and the license. One of the problems of cannibis use is there is no
cheap and easy test like a breath-a-lyzer to test for it while possible DUI.
