  • It does make you dumber, and so does alcohol. As we all know, the only drug that makes you smarter is huffing glue pantsless on a unicycle.

    Saw a dude like that in Portland once. He had it all figured out.

  • It's sad to see a lot of the misinformation here that says there are no downsides to weed. In fact, weed has a ton of downsides that need to be considered in how marijuana is handled in a society.

    If you are a visual/ audio learner, here's a well researched video on the downsides of weed, from a source that acknowledges their staffs personal biases lean towards legalization.

    Kurzgesagt, "We Have to Talk About Weed

    Basically, we need to recognize that due to having criminalized weed for so long, we are only now getting the research into the negative effects of weed, but as it's coming out we are seeing how weed is not all sunshine and rainbows.

    THC potency has increased dramatically since the 60s, and that has led to increased risks of paranoia, psychosis, and panic attacks. It also increases the risk of Cannabinoid Hypermesis Syndrome, where ingesting weed will make you vomit, nauseous, and have horrible abdominal pain.

    My roommate just got this and she is not having fun. Her doctor told her this may be a 6 month T-break, but it's also possible this is permanent, and best to avoid weed altogether.

    I also am sad to see "weed is not addictive" being thrown around. Cannabis Use Disorder (weed addiction) is very real and a quick look up says 10% of users become addicted. Personally I consider myself stuck on a habit since I can control my use to keeping it after 8pm, but I still have trouble not getting high daily. I have a friend who is now 100 days sober, but when he had a relapse last year, it ruined his life.

    That's not to say it's bad, I have another friend who needs weed to help him get through the day with his PTSD. We just need to recognize one person's medicine is another person's poison.

    Most all of the major issues with weed tend to show up with people who began smoking in adolescence. I think a reason I'm somewhat I'm control and my other friend is not is that I started smoking at 22 in college, and he started at 16. I imagine if I waited until I was 25 I'd have no problem making it a weekend thing.

    That said

    My experience and the pain many have dealing with the health issues associated to weed are no where near comparable to the damage that criminalized weed has had on marginalized communities as weed has historically been used to target and oppress minorities by our US government. I also agree to the points that having a black market is FAR worse than having legal weed that needs regulation.

    Personally I'm pro-legalization, but I think we need to be careful at how we are messaging weed to the youths and handling the negative consequences, as the myths of weed just being an innocent plant are super harmful.

  • Jesse Wells has a line that gets me every time:

    "Time is not a mirror/ it's some distorted view/ of the way you thought you was/ and what you thought they thought of you"

  • If all your basic needs were met and you didn't have to work to get by, what would you do with your life?

  • A) mental health would absolutely improve so I'd have more energy for

    B) producing more shows and putting on more events. Personally I don't want to retire because I want to create a career where if I did retire I'd just do what I was doing anyway. I'm kinda doing that now but I have more BS and stress to deal with.

  • What's your "this wasn't weird until you made it weird" story?

    Jump

  • [NSFW]

    I was recently told of the mom fetish where some women get off on treating their partner like their child- making them dinner while they play videogames and such.

    I remember once dating a girl where she did exactly that, straight up to the way she called me sweetie. I honestly didn't think much of it at all, I just thought "hot damn I get to play Zelda, get made an amazing meal, and then get laid!? This is the best deal EVER".

    From my perspective it wasn't weird, she was just very considerate and hot. I don't know if it was her fetish, but just knowing it could be makes me rethink the whole situation.

  • I teach kids, and a lesson I have with them is on "context".

    The game of tag, is it good or bad?

    Well, on the playground it is good, really fun actually!

    But in music class or at the library? It's really bad.

    The game didn't change, the context did. Same goes with parenting imo. In fact I'd go so far as to say that teaching your kids to be considerate of the spaces they are in is a good thing.

    I grew up with my mom telling us to keep our hands behind our back when going into an antique store or to be polite at the dinner table, and I was always invited to dinners and nice places by my friends parents because they knew I'd behave.

  • Right, I think I let this thread drifted into what someone should do generally. I'm trying to figure out what I can do. The thing is, I can't own a gun because I've been in a mental ward. I've never fought anyone and at a deep level I don't think I can actively kill anyone. Someone with the means and mentality should absolutely do that.

    I'm looking more to see how I can use the tools I have to make a difference.

  • You're right, this time may be different. It's stopping a full on war with our family, so that may bring bigger and more explosive protests that could tip the scales.

    Maybe I've been just expecting the worst outcome of any event now.

  • I guess the thing that stinks is I'm in a Blue™️ state and in one of the most uncooperative cities to the Trump administration.

    That said while it feels like all the districts I'm in are further anti Trump to most, there are many shades of Blue™️ who may need pushing, and many kinds of bills to be pushed.

    So yeah everyone listen to Zak
