yes, like now you're dodging everything because you have nothing worth saying because you are wrong.
"teacher school." snrt

I'm dodging nothing. If anyone is dodging, it's everyone dodging my posts. Dodger (hue) even pointed that out. It's mostly Des, you, and stocking arguing.

If you're referring to me "dodging" menen's post, he was posting that in response to dodger. I don't have to get in that argument. Nor am I some brainiac person who knows everything in the world or spends time googling and researching every sentence i say into some argument to make myself feel better or something. I'll say what I need/want to say, and respond back to people who respond to me.

It is a handicap arguing with people twice your age, considering yes, they do know more than you. However, I try to hold my own to the best of my ability.

State your point and cite evidence.

Smoking Marijuana (as well as doing other drugs) is overall a bad thing.

Smoking pot is bad for you, but the only way you die from it is extreme overuse. Still, it isn't fun to have

These are the only effects that I've had happen, but only with extreme doses and only a few strains manage to make me agitated.

Extreme doses? That isn't very smart.

He's addicted.

[LordCutlerBeckett]

Well stuff. If you're addicted, get some help. You aren't helping yourself if you keep doing this, Desolation.

[Desolation]

He's addicted.

How so? I like to smoke with my friends, when my friends have a lot of weed and it's a weekend then I partake in the smoking, that's not being addicted, I don't sell my right nut for a hit of a joint, I don't rob stores to pay for my weed, in fact, I rarely purchase my own weed.

Well stuff. If you're addicted, get some help. You aren't helping yourself if you keep doing this, Desolation.

I love how you pull this out of your ass.

[TripleNickels]

Extreme doses? That isn't very smart.

It's almost impossible to die from marijuana.

Well stuff. If you're addicted, get some help. You aren't helping yourself if you keep doing this, Desolation.

He's trolling. You can't be addicted to marijuana physically and it's incredibly hard to become mentally addicted. He's not addicted.

[Messes]

Taboo stop arguing with Messes, his degree in biochemistry gives him the qualifications to call government-funded research bullstuff.

I'm calling nothing "bullstuff", actually. I'm putting my 2 cents in. 90% of it is me arguing things not even related to "government-funded research"

Smoking Marijuana (as well as doing other drugs) is overall a bad thing.

I will continue to smoke marijuana for I have yet to get any bad side effects. I won't die from using it tomorrow, actually. We'll see if I'm back saturday.

EDIT: by bad, I mean terrible. You do get red eyes from smoking, easily countered and gotten rid of with eye drops. Cotton mouth? Meh, drink something is what I do. That's all I really get. The rest of the mind-alteration is part of the high, which I enjoy and do something like play xbox with that experience, always listen to music, and watch videos or a movie or something.

Once again, I'm saying I haven't had any of those. Me. I'm not speaking for others. Sure, I wouldn't want to be nauseous or anything. Plus, it's not like you have all those at once, or even ever. Others can decide if it's worth the risk. I, for one, think it is.  

I like to think I harm no one by the way. I smoke half a gram to two and do something fun in the privacy in my house, or at a friends.

[LordCutlerBeckett]

I love how you pull this out of your ass.

I agree. It's pretty damn arousing.

[Desolation]

I agree. It's pretty damn arousing.

Troll!

Troll!

What's a troll?

Well you can't really contradict the work that's been looked over several times and is generally accepted by the medical community now can you?

[TripleNickels]

Isn't obviously trolling bannable?
