That’s not a problem. Oxy is ok just not big bad pot cause its drugs like heroin right Frank?

Oxy is cool though, just don’t smoke pot or you will be a druggie.


No offense frank but your mentality is exactly why I usually don’t like most "military" individuals. They are brainwashed and cant think for themselves, all they can do is regurgitate rhetoric that’s been pounded in their heads without any shred of logic or common sense in it. That’s not too bad in it self but since they are military the "I'm superior" mind set kicks in and they are completely unwilling not only to harbor any other opinion than their own but anyone who thinks otherwise is obviously an idiot.

Sorry to threadjack but i wanted to harp on that one more time. I feel better know.

Frank may be somewhat rigid in his views on certain activities, but he's kicked us the respect of letting us voice our views. I think the way this thread is going it's kinda turning into a dogpile on Frank, which isn't warranted. Sure he made a sarcastic comment about drug use, but he's not targeting us as individuals, so there's no call to target him in turn. Plenty of people outside the military hold similar views just as deeply.

Hell, I agree with Frank on most of his criticisms (it's a useless drug consumed primarily by useless people). My deviation from his reasoning is that as a private act that harms no one it should not be treated as a legal or moral crime, and I believe that enough to completely offset my distaste for pot and for stoners. Nobody's hopping on me about it although I'm basically Frank with a larger libertarian streak.

It is that criticism that has everyone in this thread giving him ----. Just because MOST of the smokers that YOU KNOW are useless DOES NOT make it universally true. It is that widely regarded opinion that gives the gov't the ability to hand out unfair and unwarranted sentences for marijuana related crimes to begin with.

No, the validity of that observation has nothing to do with the government having the moral right or legal ability to censure a consensual activity. The root cause of that is people are stupid and short sighted, spiteful and uncaring, and most of all ignorant.

That quote from Martin Niemoller is pretty deep, J.D. ... I feel like a better individual having this in my thoughts today.

yeah for a second I thought about not hitting that post button cause i didnt want it to be a ---- storm on him, hell i dont even know the guy but my point isnt is it good or bad its about factual representation. You said it best "My deviation from his reasoning is that as a private act that harms no one it should not be treated as a legal or moral crime" and that is what im talking about. personal reservations aside you understand its not a harmful drug and shouldnt be classified as "drugs" like Heroine or treated in the same regard. i think "change" (however you want to apply it) is hindered when folks cant take a look at something and go "Perhaps we were wrong..." or see if from any other angle, I just dont get that.

Always liked that quote.

I'm not trying to dogpile him. I put my point in and left it at that. Just pointing out a very big difference between stealing for drugs and smoking pot. I've never known anyone, or heard of anyone, stealing to buy marijuana. It's not that serious.
