The one marked WEED is obviously 100% meth. Telltale scabs on face from constant uncontrollable picking.
Cannabis is actually good for people
yep!
Yeah, I found this elsewhere and only changed the last one,I actually thought the same thing but was like "Eh, it's just a silly meme thing"
It's a great meme. Ignore the noise.
Yea, but you've offended those who need mind altering chemicals in order to know what to do with themselves.
I, honest to God, never expected this to turn into a weed benefits/detriments discussion
In hindsight I should have probably changed the weed one to meth, but oh well shrugs
Oh, I knew it would be the second I saw that on the meme. These weed guys love their weed and seem to take it personally if one makes it out to be anything less than God's angel dust.
I would say it's more about accuracy. But most will ignore because you know, it is a meme. If people simply talk about and correct you, and that somehow offends you - that's a you issue.
Agree with shrugs. I am not sure anyone here that matters would bust your chops. Made me think how I feel and that is Peanuts comic strip when Snoopy is groving, nose up smiling. Carry on and thank you.

I like your meme.
If there is one thing that will trigger 80% of GA its weed lol.
Yeah, like those selfish fucks that have cancer, pain, or insomnia.
Read it again. I'm not referring to medical uses. I'm referring to those who don't know what to do with themselves.
Marijuana helps insufferable bastard syndrome too.
says the coffee and alcohol drinking hypocrite.
I drink neither.
ok... no jerking off or having sex, that alters your brain chemistry too... dopamine, adrenaline, oxytocin...
you're a filthy drug addict, what a loser you are needing to escape reality like that.
Those are all a natural part of our physiology. The introduction of chemicals from plants is not a natural part of our physiology. Keep in mind I respect a person's right to it, but let's call it what it is.
Sure some of it is a natural part of our physiology. Do a little more digging and you will see how many "drugs" are naturally occurring in larger or smaller amounts in plants, barks, roots, leaves, etc. How plants and their components affect our neurotransmitters, etc.
Where's the limit? Or what's the limit?
Do you eat chocolate? Chocolate has caffeine and theobromine.
Do you like to eat chocolate? Or sugar? Why do you like to do that?
The list is almost endless. We can continue all day until we find enough examples from your everyday life.
So let's call it what it is.
when you want to get all shitty about altered states of mind, it's fucking relevant.
how bout we start calling kids who spin around till they get dizzy "drug addicts".
Sins of the Flesh are terrible for your brain.
In tons of studies any Orgasm outside of Natural Sex obliterates proper hormone function.
Marijauna is not harmless. Sugar is not harmless. Water is not harmless.
Anything and everything has a time and place and healthy consumption amount.
If you are filling a void by consuming anything but God - Darkness will find a way into this ritual
Pure unadulterated learned hard lessons speaking here.
If you can't feel high on Creation itself, being outside, hearing the world, listening to music, experiencing wind / sunlight / laughter - you're welcoming in Demons.
And lemme tell ya - they stand by waiting for you to make exactly that choice.
of course you're a repressed religious nutjob... of course you are...
Did you ever need more proof that this is not a Christian website?
Cannabis kills brain cells. It has its uses. But moderation and on an as needed basis. Toke all day and it will cause issues.
THC kills cancer cells. So, yeah, it has its uses.
Did I say to toke all day? Did anyone? Ever? Just curious.
Like I said it has its uses. Never said "WEED BAD DONT DO IT".
And I did not say YOU or anyone in particular WERE toking all day. Just a astatement that if someone does, it will take a toll on the body.
Spoken as someone who has no idea what they are talking about. It CAN stunt mental acuity if abused by kids-young adults. Kids shouldn't be near it in any case. After mid 20's, that effect has been proven to be drastically decreased. I do toke all day though, and it is prescribed and regulated, so I can say your knowledge is based on very cherry picked "facts".
I grew up watching my brother and his friends smoke weed all day everyday. From years of observation I can tell you that they're are impairments even to men in their 40's & 50's.
Specially if you can't function for more then a few hours with out having to go toke again & again.
For years? How old were they when they began smoking every day? And that last part isn't based on physical addiction, so I know you're describing people with addictive personalities, for a start.
I don’t know when he started but I know he was growing and smoking at 19-20.
Some do take recreationally. Not saying they don't have that right, as long as they don't bother anyone in their impairment and contain that stupid smell, but those that need mind altering chemicals just to pass a couple of spare hours I have trouble respecting.
You should try it. They slow down time for me. If anything, it's extending a couple hours.
That's just the thing, I have never needed it. I have always found other forms of entertainment. However, I don't begrudge others their chosen form of entertainment.
Thought ivermectin did the same? But wait it doesn't get you high and alter your mind.
Cannabis has the same down regulated effects as opioids, or SSRIs. My patients who use for pain, a certain percentage, just like in opioids, after about a week they need to triple the initial amount taken.
Biology lesson: you have ten receptors before exogenous cannabis use, after you input exogenous versus your natural endogenous cannabinoids you lose 6 receptors as your body tries to equalize what’s normal.
So if you are an unlucky down regulator, and notice you need more and more to achieve the same benefits, I recommend taking weed breaks to offset the process and restore your receptors. No need to panic or quit.
If you do lose receptors the problem is you are now enjoying less benefit from cannabinoids than someone who has a healthy endogenous supply of endocannabinoids.
So at the end of a streak of heavy use, you have suboptimal results and your body has actually less of the substance you are trying to benefit from.
Two words: weed breaks
It does not kill brain cells, that was a study done on monkeys where they suffocated them with cannabis smoke coming through a mask and they lost brain cells from lack of oxygen.
This is one of the oldest and most common misconceptions about cannabis.
That's alcohol.
Incorrect. It slows the synapsis in your brain, often interpreted as "killing brain cells". In reality that's usually a result of heavy drug use, typically alcohol with the marijuana. Look at Willie Nelson and Snoop Dog. Neither are particularly stupid, but they both claim to smoke copious amounts daily.
Moderation is key as with anything. The stigma behind pot and all the claims of it's "effects" are mostly puritan propaganda and false which is ironic because there's nothing in the Bible that forbids weed.
I was surprised to learn marijuana a tuaaly grows more neural pathways in the brain...so that's a very good thing.
It does unlock perspective that otherwise wouldn't be found. There's a reason the government wanted it locked down. Too many people were getting along and resisting the military industrial complex's agenda.
While the hippies were by no means perfect, the propaganda to paint them in a negative light is painfully obvious.
Correct. To this day churches still use fear porn tactics on children to scare them with the existence of hell... Yet if you read Christ very closely, He kind of avoids details regarding hell... Almost as if that's not as important as teaching people to love one another.
Yeah. wtf is weed doing on there?
Hat tip:- They are all Meth except sweet as GA.
Cannabis that is bred for the highest THC levels, can cause psychosis and mental trauma in many people. This is not the mellow weed of decades ago. I believe it is still very important to those who are suffering with serious disease. I am a huge CBD advocate, for many reasons. One thing you can thank Sessions for is The Farm Bill he passed, legalizing Hemp under .3 percent thc. The cannabinoids and variety of turpenes are very beneficial without the high. Hemp has a spectacular history and future. If others are into turbo THC weed, no problem for me, but designer ultra thc-bombs can cause mental disturbances unlike weed 50-20 years ago. Not here to judge if that is your thing, but I know that hat cannabis is a medicine, not a drug for a high.
many = subjective, vague
In 45 years around it I've never met one person who suffered psychosis or mental trauma from cannabis; maybe from not being able to score any (jk :)
OK as an opinion, but factually incorrect. It is consumed as both.
True, it is both a medicine and a substance for getting high. Unlike you, I have known people who have developed/enhanced psychosis through regular use of ultra THC marijuana.
As I said in my post, I am all for it, and federal legalization, it is a very healing plant, but it is not completely harmless and these new high octane THC breeds can and do bring on psychotic episodes in certain people. Since many people are literal morons, the nanny feds will cater to them. If the THC levels are prominently printed on the product, as in legalized states, there is no problem. My point stands, however, that ultra high THC can and does cause adverse issues in some people.
Is it me or does the cocaine one actually look happier?
lol @ "weed addict"
do people actually believe people get addicted and all cracked out on weed?
what is this 1940?
I've known a lot of weed addicts over the years. Watching my older brother and his friends for the last 20+ years is all the proof I need. When you can't function for more than a couple hours without toking again, can't go anywhere without bringing your weed, get angry if you don't get to toke regularly, or are blowing up your marriage because you can't stop. Then you are addicted.
I had roommates that on payday would go buy some weed and smoke non stop. They would always run out well before the next payday. I would watch them scrape the burnt resin out of all of their pipes & bongs just to get one more toke. Then they'd be trying to borrow or scrounge up any money they can to buy more. It wasn't until after they were forced to stop smoking that they finally admitted there was a problem.
It’s not the weed’s fault your brother is a loser.
He’s a loser libtard so he’s got more issues then just weed.
your body can't become dependent on weed, it's not physically addictive, but people can get addicted to it like anything else... sky diving, running, fucking, working out... it's a mental addiction.
sounds to me like your older brother and his loser friends have more problems than weed, weed is just something they all do while being a loser and not the other way around.
i own multiple businesses, i'm building my own home, i run a homestead here that provides food for me and my family... and i smoke a little weed every now and then to relax... i barely even drink alcohol.
if you honestly think weed makes people turn into the kind of person your brother is i can't change your mind... but as someone who knows dozens and dozens of very wealthy and successful motivated people... who also happen to smoke a lil weed every now and then... i can tell you that you shouldn't judge the world by the standard of your loser brother.
i think it would shock the hell out of you if you found out just how many people you meet and interact with on a daily basis that smoke weed... they just don't talk about it with people like you cause... well... i think you know.
I think it depends on how you are wired & your body / brain chemistry. My dad was addicted to alcohol & cigarettes. But I can have a drink or smoke 1 cig & not have another one for months or years and be fine.
I’ve seen it with more then just my brother & his friends. I’ve had roommates that would smoke their entire stash well before their next payday & then try anything they could to get more. Borrowing money or going to the pawn shop. They stopped short of offering sexual favors on the corner so maybe they weren’t completely addicted.
yeah, and i'm telling you thats a loser who smokes pot, not a pot smoking loser. lol.
there are just as many types of smokers as there are types of people... for obvious reasons.
i worked the sales counter at a med and rec legal dispensary for three years before i started growing full time. people from all walks of life, all types of people, all coming in there for the same thing... some good weed they can trust.
i saw people like you describe, and i saw the complete opposite end of that spectrum... all buying the same exact things.
i really appreciated my med customers, most of them were great down to earth people who were coming to me for pain relief or to stop their seizures or to reduce the ocular pressure in their eyes...
the most drastic customers i served were the people with MS... i always knew that it helped but never really got to see it in action till one day i had this guy come in who could barely talk or walk he was constricting so hard. i helped him quickly with his purchase and got him out of there asap because i could tell he was uncomfortable. he left and i went back to business as usual. about 30 minutes later this dude comes walking back into the store and says "hey man i forgot to get some edibles"... completely normal, walking with a stride, speaking with perfect non-shaky voice...
i'll never forget it...
anyone who tells you weed isn't something people should have open and safe access to is a clueless heartless piece of shit.
It's better to have weed and no money, than money and no weed.
I’ve met many weed addicts who could not have quit if they tried and admitted as much. The weed addicts don’t exist lie is old.
says "biblegirl"
gen 1:12 bitch.
Usually people are nicer to each other here.
Faggot.
exactly
A dope fiend refers to the reefer butt as a roach, because it resembles a cockroach.
"You would have to be crazy on acid to think a reefer butt looks like a God damn cockroach" - Dr. Gonzo.
lol, yes, a piece of rolling paper appears shiny and somewhat translucent when you burn something inside it... it then appears to resemble the shiny back of a roach.
i'm not sure what this has to do with anything but i'm glad i could clear this misunderstanding up for you.
It's a movie quote from "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" for shits and giggles.
I'm glad you could agree with Dr. L Ron Bumthwist that a reefer looks like a cockroach. Are you crazy on acid?
Being that your namesake is a hat tip to "The Big Lebowski" you should probably check it out, as these are two of my favourite movies.
"Dogs fucked the Pope, no fault of mine"
man, i haven't seen that movie since the year it came out... so i must apologize for missing the quote and being defensive... i was in mid battle with a throng of anti-weed weirdos.
anyway, aside from the many quotables from that movie, my favorite part was the narration on the way into the circus casino while on the devils ether.
Raoul Duke: "Bazooko's Circus is what the whole hep world would be doing Saturday nights if the Nazis had won the war. This was the Sixth Reich."
lol, good stuffs.
All good dude. Puritans are boring whether they are on our side or the enemies' side so you are doing the Lord's work.
Great quote, so many in that film:-
"KIll the body and the head will die. Ali, Frazer fight." "Proper end to the 60's, Ali beaten by a human hamburger and both Kennedy's murdered by mutants."
FBI propaganda
This is coffee spewing worthy!
Fun, except the photo of the GA.win dude is of Chico Buarque.
Who is a total fucking Commie.
Huh, didn't even notice it was him, and I'm Brazilian
Goes to show how little I care about that clown I guess.
One has to admit that shit eating grin is pretty good though.
Heh.
Olha que coisa mais feia, Que cheia de merda...
Nice to see a brasileiro on here. Ordem e Progresso, né?
Pois é, o povo só tem que aprender o que é progresso de verdade heh, e ordem também tem muito pouca infelizmente.
acho que tem mais gente do BR aqui, pelo menos eu lembro de mais um cara quando eu tava no discord do TDW, nem sei se existe mais.
Acho que sim, e isso é uma tristeza.
Time Grows Short to Save the Universe.
Less Bumbum. More thinking.
But as you know, "O Brasil é o país do futuro.
... E sempre vai ser."
I love Brasil. So this is not a funny joke, for me. Even if it is also definitely clever.
Yeah, we could be big, we are big, but we are also terribly lazy (I say this on a personal level)
I have a feeling that in the not so distant future we may see a more close relation between BR and the US, once GEOTUS is back in the WH, and perhaps things will start to change for the better here.
If it wasn't for Bolsonaro we would be in a far shittier state.. can you imagine all this Covid BS with Haddad in there? by now people like us who refuse to get vaccinated and wear a mask would be in concentration camps already.
Either way God is in control! we just gotta do the best we can with what we have.
"Se Deus quiser...."
I should add that, of course, "thinking" is not enough. DOING is needed right now as well. A lot of doing.
Perhaps my favorite song of his is this one. And of course the message has a double entendre. But I prefer to think of it as a message from Chico to himself. To shut the fuck up with his Commie bullshit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzlniinsBeY
Not to mention that apparently he never once wrote a good song, it was always from someone else, some "ghost writers"
He's a loser.
I am a Jobim and Veloso fan.
To be quite honest I was never much into MPB, and by not much I mean not at all
Veloso is yet another woketard bastard though , but I can understand people enjoying his stuff regardless, and I bet that if Jobim was alive today he would be based.
When last I looked at it, Veloso was making a big deal about his "Sou um Liberal Inglês" thing. So if he's now a woketard, that's sad. But also not a big surprise.
The weed guy is not even the same guy. Look at the nose and mouth. I've never met anyone that changed like that from smoking pot. Maybe if they were also an alcoholic or into heavy drugs.
Let's go Gavvin!
Do andrenochrome
The one in the upper right corner looks like Rogan. Just sayin'...
The weed dude should look cooler in the after shot.
The one marked "cocaine", at first I thought "meth".
So GAW looks like Alfred E Newman with eyes of satan?
I feel like I was transported back to the 90s seeing the top right with "WEED" under it lol, must be an old photo.
There's been a mistake. Weed and ga.win have been swapped somehow 😆
friend of mine spent a whole summer selling and doing copious amounts of acid...
at the end of that road he walked out of rehab somehow owning a coin-op laundromat.
he has no idea how that came to be.
The picture of the guy that smokes weed is bullshit btw.
The first three are actually all meth before and after pics.
