    I smoked Cannabis pretty much daily from the age of 19 through to 41 but gave it up as you get far more work done when you are not stoned/high tbh/imho.

    It's very easy to get distracted when smoking that shit dude, still we all live and learn and no doubt there was a reason for it all somewhere down the line.

    This is what we try and wish we could teach our childrn Brandon!

    Thing is though without resorting to crazy shit like our Sharia friends I have experienced we sometimes need some insights ourselves to understand things.

    BTW did you know many "truth drugs" are cannabis based?

    Uhh... the big "truth drugs" are sodium thiopental, sodium amobarbital, and at one time Scopolamine. What "truth drugs" are you thinking of?

    @Revelations/Decoder. Wow, it took 20 years to figure that out...sheeee...itttt. That is a long time. It took me about a year to figure that out...but then it took me a bunch of years to cut it out completely. During that one year...I pretty much didn't do squat and paid a consequence. I did have fun that year, though, ;) I've seen people who seem to get a lot done when they are high all the time. Definitely wasn't me. LOL!!! Its been many many many years since I've done any pot. I'll say this though; it was fun.

    Ah I still managed to carry on as normal in employment etc as only smoked fairly weak stuff but with my own biz and now that resin is not about and stronger weed is all that is available, it doesn't mix with getting work done, especially on websites and doing SEO

    well that explains it. during my big indulgence I liked it strong and in quantity. ;) At least for me there was a real difference between strong and weak dope. Nice to know you have your firm and are doing SEO.

    LOL I did have my moments with stronger stuff I have to admit.

    Cannabis oil form Morroco whilst living near St Tropez in the South of France and Dutch Skunk and some resin called "double dangerous" whilst working as a barmen in a brothel in Amsterdam.

    Still working behind a bar that is not so busy whilst stoned is pretty easy to do, SEO on the other hand is not exactly conducive with being stoned LOL.

    I remember one night in the South of France a Rasta guy I worked with selling Ice Cream on the beaches and who I used to drop off on his beach each day, came to mine for dinner to try the cannabis oil (bearing in mind he had a secret growing place where he grew his own weed) and he was asleep after one spliff hehe.

    Tax it to an extent such that people will not touch it . Illegal Marijuana anyway finds its way inside through the corrupt system.

    Can't believe some people still think it should be prohibited. Violent mexican drug gangs exist primarily through its prohibition.

    Yet I've heard it distorted before that it is the illegal U.S. demand for foreign drugs that causes the violence and keeps them in business... nope. The only reason there's FOREIGN demand in the first place is because domestic supply isn't practical because it's ILLEGAL. If you support prohibition you support death.

    I don't have big feelings on whether it should be decriminalized. My experience was that it was a lot of fun. I also saw it having a dangerous effect on a couple of people. If it was legalized you could also control its strength. OTOH, if the control of its strength was to only provide pretty weak dope others would start selling stronger illegal dope. If you didn't regulate its strength some people would get f*cked up on it. (I got enuff opinions on other issues--don't care a rat's @ss about this one :D )

    Don't do it anymore. It could be close to 2 decades since I last had any and before that it was several years. Ahhhh....but Revelations I had a lot of fun w/ it and funny stories like you described above.

    I wish that every nasty dangerous substance on Earth was legalized. I think that cheap legal moonshine/absinthe/marijuana/heroin/cocaine/crack/crank/peyote/belladona/hemlock/arsenic/whatever could have a positive effect by helping to clean up the gene pool.

    Let's get rid of helmet laws and seatbelt laws while we're at it. This rock is overcrowded. It's time to clean up the trash.

    Whilst its not legal in most countries it pretty much is already decriminalized.
