Better than from a pothead.
True, I'd have to agree with that. Why, are you a pothead, too?

Bill probably thinks pot is a gateway drug, orders of magnitude
more
dangerous than booze.

Why do you suppose that? Loogy, the former Atl_man, the former
on_lanier, and the former basskisser seems to think stating that
he is
growing pot on a pot newsgroup means he was spouting lies then.
Or
lies
now. As to the pot, my opinion is legalize and tax most drugs.
If
you
steal to support your habit, you get an extension to your
sentence.
If
you can afford the drugs and not be a burden on society, it's
freedom
of
choice. I graduated from San Francisco State University, so knew
lots
of people who used pot. I do not use any drugs, as I get sick
with
most
prescription painkillers, and I do not smoke. Earn a lot of
money
from
smoking as Altria has done very well for me. Better than RTN and
your
other choices.

You do seem to attach a certain stigma or evil to pot, though,
which is
silly, since it's really no worse for the body than booze,
assuming
both
are abused to a certain level. And, it's pretty rare that people
steal
to
get money for pot.

I sort of dropped out of this discussion, which I initiated. How
did it
devolve into an argument about pot?

I steered it off a cliff after billy bob said "Better than a
pothead".
Since
I love words, I see "pothead" and wonder why people never say
"bourbon
head"
or "vodka head". It's always more than just a term learned by habit.
It's
a
belief based on who-knows-what.

Would 'booze hound' be the equivalent? Or just, 'a drunk'?

Maybe, but people like Bill use "pothead" to describe anyone who uses
pot.
"Booze hound" or "drunk" are more commonly used to describe someone
whose
use of alcohol has reached the point of habitual abuse. There are
people who
partake of marijuana at levels similar to someone who has a glass of
wine
once or twice a week. Nobody would call those people drunks, although
they
might GET a little drunk from that glass of wine under certain
conditions.

Oh. I didn't realize Bill was expanding the term 'pothead' to include
anyone who tries the stuff. I would put 'pothead' in the same category
as
'alcoholic'.

Oh, it gets even better. Bill has been proven to call someone a
"pothead" without ANY evidence of such. Hell, he doesn't even have to
have heresay to call someone a pothead!

hearsay

Not hearsay or heresay, but a posting in one of his incarnations of
newsgroup posting.- Hide quoted text -

If in your stupid mind, it's not hearsay, then it must be proof????
Damn you are dumb.

Wrong, as usual, in many ways. Listen well, dumb Bill. What I asked
for was PROOF, EVIDENCE, not heresay. Do you even know the legal
difference between the two? Do you realize that knowingly making false
statements about someone is a crime?

Yes.

The weather here in SWFL has been so great it is almost unbelievable.

Most of the time I am. I am correct that you stated that you grew the evil
weed. Just that you were posting under a different persona then. You now
state you were not basskisser, atl_man, onlanier?

What? If Loogis is "onlanier" then he is James R Gallows.
I thought I was the hangman.
