US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Day of the Cope]

What about second hand smoke and contact highs?

I can ask the same thing for cigarettes.
Also, getting a contact high is only gonna happen if you're somewhere with literally zero ventilation.

Exposure to secondhand cannabis smoke under unventilated conditions produced detectable cannabinoid levels in blood and urine, minor increases in heart rate, mild to moderate self-reported sedative drug effects, and impaired performance on the Digit Symbol Substitution Task (DSST). One urine specimen tested positive at using a 50 ng/mL cut-off and several specimens were positive at 20 ng/mL. Exposure under ventilated conditions resulted in much lower blood cannabinoid levels, and did not produce sedative drug effects, impairments in performance, or positive urine screen results.

Most of the cases you see of people getting a "contact high" are people literally under the placebo effect.

The mind is a powerful and terrifying thing. I've managed to stress myself into manifesting physical ailments awaiting tests to find out they all came back negative and I only managed to make myself sick.

I think potheads being hated is due to survivorship bias. I used to really hate opiate addicts, but the dozens of people I grew up with that got addicted to oxycontin are now dead. If THC overdoses were fatal, there wouldn't be very many potheads around to hate.

I see a LOT of people who develop a psychological addiction to weed and completely drop out of life. Maybe they aren't dead, but they might as well be. Sure, it's not the same thing but anecdotally it's important to emphasize that pot is just as much of a vice as cigarettes and alcohol.
I also see pro legalization activists who can't comprehend that pot is an intoxicating substance which should not be consumed by minors or while operating heavy/dangerous machinery. There was a particularly braindead Texas State senator who made national news over his "God's green earth" bill, which would have treated weed as no different from any other form of produce. At a certain point you have to wonder if the reason pot legalization keeps failing is due to the people pushing it being complete imbeciles who poison the well with their insane takes.

seems like the fastest way to make people miserable these days is to earnestly give them exactly what they ask for

edit: thinking of all the fables about this lesson like The Monkey's Paw, maybe that's actually been true forever

It seems like it's more that people underestimate the potential of second-order effects to go completely sideways, same with the fall of Syria.

The Israelis were probably glad to be rid of an old foe and to undermine Iran's coalition, but now they stare down a radical Sunni ascendancy that Turkey will try to co-opt.

Welcome to Canada, the only country where the government could legalise weed and still lose money thanks to government fuckery.

 

[Nacho Man Randy Salsa]

I'm a faggot that likes smoking weed and I'd blow it in your stupid monkey face.

 

[Jace on ice]

I'm a faggot that likes smoking weed.

Is that why all of your posts are so retarded?

 

[mandatorylurk]

Democrats are so without any wind in their sails they're trying to set up things that will obviously be spiked in a week in order to create fake outrage and fundraising off of. And no one believes them.

Government fuckery comes for all countries in time. But yeah Canada is especially good at wasting money on crap.

 

[The Last Stand]

I guess we're talking about cannabis now. Okay...



I HATE seeing memes about Trump's grocery prices plan. Those same people poking fun of it were likely complicit with the Biden administration CAUSING inflated grocery/gas prices in the first place. Even if he doesn't solve it overnight, I still place blame on the previous admin for creating that problem and their lapdogs for gaslighting people's concerns until they couldn't hide it anymore.

sigh. the last pic cuts out the part where Trump says lower energy costs and a better supply chain will bring down grocery prices.

I thought the way she talked was funny enough, but when she flipped her hair like that I just fucking lost it.

The least she could do is fix her glasses so they're level.

I look forward to their "pro democracy" cooking. Will they just be overpriced Ukrainian dishes?

 

[Korpon]

Anytime some stoner tries to tell me their bullshit about it being a miracle drug and how it's okay to smoke yourself retarded with it I think of this meme.

"It's not happening"
"Okay it's happening but it was your fault."

I don't know if I'm more annoyed by the leftoid's constant lies or the fact they can't even come up with new ones.

 

[I mean I'm just saying]

I took an edible once out of curiosity, and that shit turned me into a damn vegetable for hours

I took an edible when I went to see Evil Dead Rise in theaters, and I tell you, the stuff they're churning out for consumers is military-grade. Much different feeling than when I was in college 15 years ago.

It's kind of nuts that edibles are widely considered the most casual entry-level cannabis consumption method, but without a precise dose and foreknowledge they're the most likely by far to ruin your entire day with no recourse. I can't blame anyone for becoming a teetotaler after getting nuked expecting a teehee silly brownie and ending up in a 6 hour coma.

Years and years ago, when I was in tech school, about once a week for the entire season, some cockhead would go into one of the downstairs bathrooms and smoke what had to have been literal pounds of weed. Because the school's ventilation system sucked ass, you'd eventually get the hallway immediately outside and then subsequently the hot labs utterly filled with smoke and weed smell.

Given the truth of what you said, I have to wonder what fucking Doctor Thrax-esque concoction that fucker was actually smoking, because each and every time it would make me dizzy and nauseous, to the point where when I smelled Weed later in life I was legit surprised when that effect didn't carry along with it. I don't think they ever caught the idiot doing it; eventually the hot lab professor just shoved like 4 fans in the window and rigged them up to suck the air out and kept the doors closed once class started and that mostly dealt with the problem.

If it didn't turn out to be the kid of some staffer or another I'd be fucking stunned.
