LAME

Honestly, a bit offensive. Some of us use marijuana as the only means to treat pain, and are legally prescribed it (well...depending on what state I'm in).

Classifying a day to celebrate a drug that has SO many practical uses, from making paper 10x more durable than out of trees (from a plant that grows 10x faster and who's harvest much less of an impact on the environment), to its inherent medicinal qualities that range from migraine treatment to helping nausea for cancer-patients (my mom a great example; colon cancer, the chemo wrecked her, she couldn't eat...I shared some of my pot and there was literally a huge difference that very same day), is just ignorant and perpetuating a negative stereotype that is based in lies propagated by special interest groups who have money to lose should the real story of marijuana ever surface. The story, which is slowly coming to light over the years as more and more states recognize its important, is ever hindered by statements like this by people like you who can't bother to spend a few minutes researching instead of repeating the same ol' "lame" arguments that they've for used for 60 years, ALL of which have been refuted countless times.

Why not take a moment to recognize this day for what it could be, awareness, instead of dismissing it in such a lazy and biased one-word slap to the face for those of us who day-to-day life are made immensely more bearable thanks to it.

He said one word, "Lame."

If you are going to get this butt-hurt over one word I'll close this topic right now because all it will be is a heap of trouble.

People enjoy or disagree with pot smoking, and making a topic like this on the forums is asking for criticism. If you cannot stand even the most base criticism, then do not post this stuff on the internet.

Sorry, you're right. I got a bit too emotional about it; just hits close to home. Apologies. I retract the aggressive negativity and attacks and hug everyone.

It will be like alcohol one day and once it is, there wont be any reason for criticism. It's still a hot topic and every years it gets a little cooler. People will have their bowls and bongs right next to their wine n beer glasses, you will start saying things like "cheers," every time you're with your friends enjoying some flowers. But until then, we can sit down together, talk, listen to some music, and play some games. So lets get together and feel all right!

Happy 420 One Love

Alcohol still gets deemed as poison and you actually get shunned for drinking it here in Utah, the dry state. Some servers in restaurants will actually request a different server if we order drinks. I doubt marijuana will ever be truly accepted into society, it's still smoking and that's still not the healthiest thing you can do. But who cares really, as long as it's something you enjoy.

Didn't know that bout alcohol in Utah, very cool and weird at the same time, but i agree with your argument on total acceptance. Smoking in any form is very bad and not recommended, but that's why there are other various forms to consume medicines/drugs. Like ah suppository :)

In honor of this I'm going to do absolutely nothing and carry on with my day just like every other day.

What's happened to my great nation?!?! What happened to kids just having good ole' plain fun with hop squares and rolling hoops with sticks? Does no one help mother with chores or churn the lard to butter anymore? Does no one find happiness in helping father till the soil for next seasons crops?
