when the herb kicked in and your rig sounds perfect

stereo5,

"It is not a drug, no matter what the government tells you, it’s a weed."

Apparently, long-term use interferes with reasoning, too.

I actually have no idea what government of Malta is saying about it.

"I have indulged on a daily basis for 50 years."

And see where it got you. Posting angry posts about benefits of drug use on an audiophile forum.

"That and only that is the reason it was banned."

In Norway?

204 780 study subjects. Now, that is something even for retrospective study.

"The 'rush' could be disconcerting...."

"Making definitive derogatory statements about smoking is pure ignorance"

I will pretend that you did not write this non-sense.

By the way, your sentence talking about ebb and flow does not flow that well. It is probably missing a qualifier or two to become readable.

"Get where you're coming from tweak1, but take away pure ignorance, what's he got left?"

You will have to buy the book to find out.

"I know more old stoners and old drunks than old Doctors...."

The company you keep...

By the way, there must be more drunks and plant-worshipers in the world than doctors. Of course, it is easier to run across them. Sometimes, while they are laying on the street.

If you need some psychoactive substance to enjoy your hobby to the fullest, you might have chosen the wrong hobby.

If you can get so riled up about burning some non-nutritious plant, how much is all else that you are saying worth paying attention to?

jdane,

I have a friend who says he can stop smoking any time he likes. He tried it many times and found out he could do it for a month, two, however long he decided to check at the time, without missing it at all. Years later, he still smokes. It is not addictive, he can stop.
