Old news, but I',m glad to see that this is still in the press>>>> http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1884956,00.html
Yup. Tobacco is one of the most addictive drugs on the planet. Of ALL the drugs that I have done, cigarettes was the hardest to quit.max said:Funny that the one that causes death and addiction is the one that's legal. :/
Yeah, another 'legal but lethal' drug. After smoking for ten years I easily quit cold turkey. It was so easy that I thought nothing of bumming a cig two years later. Then another and another. In no time I was buying packs again and a full time smoker. Quitting again (for good) was very difficult and took me many years. Finally kicked it with auricular therapy-instantly stopped the physical addiction and I just had to deal with the mental urges.lwien said:Yup.

This is what I don't get: the "Old Guard" isn't really that old, again, these cats were around when pot rose up, half of them smoked or tried it. Why is it still so politically suicidal to stand up for decrim/legalization??lwien said:http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/24/miron.legalization.drugs/index.html
What I don't get is why most people refuse to see the logic in this.
But hey, those same people who refuse to see the logic in this ALSO refuse to see the logic in gays having the right to marry.
The old guard is just gonna have to die of old age, for the new guard to take over...........but I also have no doubt that the new guard will also have their share of problems to deal with as they become the old guard. And around and round we go..............
btw, I saw Megan McCain on Larry King last night and she kinda talked about the same thing regarding the Republican Party, and it was REALLY refreshing for it's gonna take a new generation to take that party BACK to what it once was, rather than what it has recently become, if that makes any sense.
Ya Phaang, I'm a member of that "Old Guard", but ya gotta understand, us hippies back in the day were in the minority. It was "us" against the majority, also known then as the "establishment", and that battle is STILL being fought today, be it in gay rights, marijuana rights, stem cell research, separation between church and state, environmental issues, etc etc etc.Phaang said:This is what I don't get: the "Old Guard" isn't really that old, again, these cats were around when pot rose up, half of them smoked or tried it.

But then, I don't put my real name, and I sure as hell don't want my company know I vape. [shrug]
