Next door, on the other side of us in a different house, there are neighbors who smoke weed as well. They do it outside. The stench is so bad, I don't allow the kids to play in the yard when they're smoking (pretty much every evening and weekend), nor do I spend much time outside. So while smoking outside may help keep the inside from smelling like pot, it still causes issues.

I see the problem you're up against.

If it's legalized, it might take some time for our culture to get past it and it becoming more like common cigar smoke. At least outdoors the concentration is diluted enough with the fresh air so as to not produce a contact high unless they're blowing it directly into your face. THC is rather heavy. It falls to the ground rather quickly leaving only smoke and aroma.

Your post reminded me of this meme that was being shared back when Colorado legalized... lol

Dude, sadly you make it up as you go along. The words aren't accurate, your facts aren't accurate. Whether its religion, politics, or this, you just wait for a post, then jump back and forth on how to answer. It a face to face real life situation you must fold like a paper doll in a rain storm.

The medical cannabis isn't high grade stuff.
So, I don't think the serious stoner would be impressed.
So medical marijuana is low grade shake?

That's a good thing? Great, High School, one pin joint of dirt weed, wood shop, guy on table saw. No fingers. Good job Aquila!

Bring engine cases to a machine shop, drop of the cases to be bored for large bore cylinders. Joker doing the job for me smokes a roach out of the ash tray in the truck. Come to pick up my STD cases, can't get them. Stoned loser didn't tighten them down in the boring bar and sent them across the shop. Good job Chris, cannabis saves lives.

Teenage girl smokes seedy, stems, shake bag. First time ever smoked. Got super paranoid, and freaked out, causing her to run right into a sliding glass door full tilt. While these events don't happen to everyone who smokes they do happen. Ever heard of someone being a BURN OUT? Cheech and Chong made money from their characters being burned. Tommy Chong's character was a toasty hippy, While Cheech Marin was the straight man of the team he was just as burnt. But you say the medical refer will be low level dirt weed? Oh, by the way Mr Expert, dirt weed is more popular with the stoners than premo weed.

Get the Holy Ghost Chris!

Did you find a church yet? Didn't you say that you went to an Apostolic church recently and your PTSD acted up?

All that from low level shake? What!!!!!

And so, you now know your threshold... four days. So you smoke a little cannabis every four days before bed... for six months... and during that period... everyone who knows you wants to know what happened because now your actually talking to them and interacting normally. Your kids say, "Mom and dad don't fight like they used to.", "I'm not afraid of dad anymore.", "Dad doesn't scream and break things like before.", and your performance at work increases. Your love life returns to normal... it's like you get your entire life back.
Well, well, well, all that use to be said about people converting to Christ. Now I can had out loose dubes at Bible study. No, premo weed, just dirt weed and people will move forward to a brighter day? Sounds like the testimony of people getting the Holy Ghost. Now, you need to answer this, you sound like you have first hand PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE? So, Mr Wacky Tabacky, when was the last time you smoked unto Jah?

Re: Psychotropic Drugs in Religious Rituals

Wow, an entire culture of the oldest pot smokers in the world live in the United States. I know of none of them give as sparkling testimonies as Aquila.

And I love them regardless.

As common as cigar smoke? Excuse me, ndavid? You got a lot of people smoking cigars around you and your family? Not me, I don't fall over anyone smoking cigars. Cigarettes, no cigars or pipe tobacco. When I was a kid my dad smoked cigars, but even back then it was a rarity. Also weed doesn't smell like pipe tobacco, cigars, or cigarettes. It smells like...,refer. Hey Aquila, were you the kid in High School smoking the oregano?

THC is what?

Apostolic1ness I think you guess correctly.

Aquila you my man are heading down the wrong road.

LOL, what light fun we are having. Hooray, weed was illegal, everyone was a burn out who smoked it. Now, it is legal and it is the second coming.

Chris, have you found a church family?

So, what is Aquila's solution? Instead of "I got the Holy Ghost in my soul Just like the Bible says"

It is Snoop Dogg! "Smoke weed everyday"

Maybe it is because you have Him at the end of your long list.

Sorry, bro, weed isn't the way, dubes bring no salvation, and shake can't deliver to the uttermost. Admins, why do we have a guy pushing dope on the forum?

Chris you need to get something together with Jesus in the worse way.
