Why do you suppose that? Loogy, the former Atl_man, the former

Or
lies
now. As to the pot, my opinion is legalize and tax most drugs.

lots
of people who used pot. I do not use any drugs, as I get sick

other choices.

You do seem to attach a certain stigma or evil to pot, though,

silly, since it's really no worse for the body than booze,
assuming
both

to

I sort of dropped out of this discussion, which I initiated. How

devolve into an argument about pot?

I steered it off a cliff after billy bob said "Better than a

Since
I love words, I see "pothead" and wonder why people never say
"bourbon

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'.

I have a great party entertainment trick. Invite me to a party, light up
a joint and watch as I puke.

Yep. The smell of that crap burning makes me puke. Everytime I have been
in its presence.- Hide quoted text -

Pothead would also refer to those who grow the stuff.

You must have a nasty name for someone who makes their own beer, too.

Tell us what you call them.

Brewer. Making beer is legal. Growing pot is not.

Should be...

As I said, legalize most drugs and tax and control like alcohol. Some drugs
just should never be legal.

So, the law changes the nature of the people? How about the physical
nature of the substance itself?

By the way, you don't always obey the speed limit. Since excessive speed
often results in deaths, you are guilty of attempted murder. This is your
logic.


And I have paid a lot of money in tickets for lots of excessive speed
tickets. the penalty for speeding, is a dent in the bank account, and gets
more every year. But the penalty at the present time for MJ is much
harsher. Jail time, or $10-20k in legal costs. You show your ignorance and
lack of critical thinking everytime you add to your posts on this (as well
as other subjects).

That's one reason pot won't be legal for a long time. It takes
supplies and equipment to make beer, it takes even more processes to
cure tobacco to a point where anyone would want to smoke it. Both of
these processes take lost of space, and replenishable resources, these
are easy to track and then tax. Pot takes a seed, a little dirt, some
water and some light and as far as a process, when it is done put it
in a paper bag under your bed for a week and it is ready to smoke.
Store bought alcohol or tobacco is easy to pick out, home grown pot
would look, smell, and taste the same as govt. grown, and taxed weed.
They know they would never be able to tax it properly, it would be a
nightmare for LEO, so they just keep control of the cartels, and money
too...
