Be nice if there was a safer choice for enjoyable recreation.

Spiral Out

I'm not going to disrupt duckman's thread to answer this off topic foolishness, but it needs answering, so I've made a new thread.

There are a lot of recreational choices that are safer than alcohol:

1. Monogamous married sex. Unlike many other choices, this one is sort of self-moderating, and with some of the new prescriptions it can be enjoyed more regularly even for the older ages. Risks are very low. Satisfaction can be very high. I wouldn't trade all the booze, weed, or coke on earth for this one.

2. May I suggest some athletic pursuits: biking, tennis, golf, bowling, ultimate frisbee. Some have moderate injury risks, but the long term fitness benefits more than compensate.

3. The shooting sports are among the safest recreational pursuits that exist. My family likes rifle and pistol, but shotgun is very popular in Louisiana. We have a small air rifle and air pistol range in our home that everyone enjoys.

4. There are tons of more academic recreations. Chess is a favorite of many. My family likes Scrabble and various trivia games.

5. Video games aren't my cup of tea, but they are very popular, and definitely safer than most chemical enhancements.

6. Hunting is a tremendous good time. Better stay THC free, as the legal limit for THC and firearms possession is ZERO. Climbing tree stands are the biggest safety risk in hunting.

7. Get high on fishing, not drugs. For me, there's nothing like the adrenaline dump of a huge redfish pulling drag. I'm still looking forward to my first ling and catching some bigger sharks. For others there is nothing like a speck or bass busting a top water lure.

8. There is great joy and recreation in Louisiana cuisine with little or no risk in proper moderation.

The suggestion that Louisiana's recreational options are so limited that it drives people to drink is absurd. I'd gladly trade all the weed in Colorado and Washington for the Sportsman's Paradise and culinary paradise of Louisiana. Just driving around the state is a huge thrill. I love the swamps. I love the marsh. I love the beach, the lakes, and the gulf. I love the smell of spring, the smell of fall, and the smell of mud. I love the taste of gumbo.

I'm sure Colorado or Washington would welcome those who are so attached to marijuana that they would trade all this paradise for regular hits from their favorite drug. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

You can't have both. Give it a decade to play out, and we'll watch legalized marijuana destroy the educational systems and tech based industries of Colorado and Washington. Once the impact on the education systems and workforce becomes clear, tech companies are going to avoid Colorado and Washington like the plague.

It's a fantasy that economic productivity can be maintained with an ever increasing number of potheads.

Louisiana's current petrochemical based economy, along with anticipated growth in technology fields depends on the availability of a well educated, drug-free work force.

Uhh, this edit which completely changed my intended meaning. I was originally referring to availability of ED meds which allow folks to enjoy marital bliss more often later into their golden years. This is no more pumping dangerous and addictive prescriptions than recommending vitamins for general health or ibuprofen to get one back out on the tennis court with sore joints.

I think the logical fallacy is known as strawman, but it's just plain lying in the vernacular.

Just because someone takes a toke in the evening instead of beer does that mean they can't be productive?You can take anything overboard.
Porn is legal. Messed up plenty of lives but none of us want that banned and if you do I'm confused. You should have the right and think you do to fire who ever for what ever. Shouldn't be just for something in there urine that doesn't show intoxication at all. Blood test yes. Only way to test if they legitimately impaired at that time. If you think Johnny is a terrible employee then fire his worthless arse.

Bad analogy, IMO. But like I said, if my guys want to shoot people on their own time then that's fine. When your on the clock you need to be sober and/or not shooting people. I'm not worried about legalization from an employers standpoint as much as I am from a fathers standpoint.

I have boatloads of personal experience with marijuana users. A number of family members have been pot smokers. These were the ones most likely to be moving back in with momma, getting fired for not showing up to work, being late, or poor work, or generally leeches on the system and family.

As a teacher, I also have considerable experience with marijuana smoking students. One's ability in math and science falls drastically when teens begin smoking weed. One's motivation toward education also dramatically tanks.

The science is sound on these same points. Marijuana use lowers IQ and significantly reduces educational outcomes, especially when use begins during the teen years. Use among teens in Colorado and Washington has significantly increased since legalization.

Why would one expect the society level effects to be more rapid than the personal level effects? Weed production in these states is still ramping up to meet increased demand. Once availability, use, and abuse reach their peaks for a period of time, then the effects on society will be felt. I'm estimating about a decade, because that's the amount of time for todays teens to be fully integrated into the workforce and their educational deficiencies to have a real impact on economic productivity.


Just because someone takes a toke in the evening instead of beer does that mean they can't be productive?


Less educated -> less productive. Lower IQ -> less productive. Less motivated -> less productive. Motor impairment -> less productive. No one has suggested productivity of drug users or drug abusers is zero, only that it is lower.


Porn is legal. Messed up plenty of lives but none of us want that banned and if you do I'm confused.


Children should not have access to adult porn, and no one should have access to child porn. Most adults would be shocked at how much porn children are accessing through school and library IT systems. Adults would also be shocked at how much child porn originally is uploaded to the internet through school and library IT systems. Child porn should remain a crime, and schools need to greatly increase their diligence to reduce the abuse of their IT systems in these ways.


You should have the right and think you do to fire who ever for what ever. Shouldn't be just for something in there urine that doesn't show intoxication at all. Blood test yes. Only way to test if they legitimately impaired at that time. If you think Johnny is a terrible employee then fire his worthless arse.


The liability of the employer is too great to close his eyes to drug use, especially if employment duties include operating machinery (including vehicles), complex analysis tasks with safety implications, handling dangerous chemicals, etc. Employers should be able to fire employees based on any violations of the employer's drug policy without needing to prove actual impairment.


" I have a dream that one day a man will be judged by the contents if his character and not the contents of his urine. "

Spiral Out

Violation of law and violation of an employer's drug policy reveal significant character issues. An honest character simply refuses up front to agree to a drug policy one has no intentions of abiding by.

Or do you pretend that fraudulent agreement to a drug policy is not a character flaw?

All you described in your rant is losers who just so happened to smoke marijuana. If it lowers IQ then please explain how? And then explain why it only happens to certain ppl. Bc I know more ppl that are successful that smoke than unsuccessful that smoke.

I'm by no means "pro pot" bc it's illegal. Honestly even if it was illegal I probably wouldn't be "pro" if that means being an everyday user. All I'm saying is as long as you don't condone it for the youth why put a stereotype on someone that controls their own destiny weather it's with pot or alcohol or pills or black tar. It is what it is but to say if you smoke regularly your automatically dumber is a myth no matter what science you claim. The studies that show that ppls IQ reduce bc of thc if be willing to bet they aren't just on that.

Of course they aren't just on that bc it's a "gateway" drug

and that's what makes alcohol so dangerous... people actually start believing that they are not impaired by it.

:)


See the difference is even tho I know I can still drive I DONT.... most ppl cant overcome their pride and still want to drive. I was just stating that on a closed course Id put 100 dollars on it that a 6pack of 16s wouldn't effect my driving.

its been proven that alcohol affects your motor skills and your reaction will be greatly impeded. thats just science. thats what its made to do. itd be like me saying i could smoke meth (i dont) and take a nap... just not in the cards

100% truth... BUT it takes different levels of everything to effect ppl. And I can promise you a 6pack will not effect my driving. 12pack yes 100% will.

I'm just poking some fun... don't mind me.

although generally speaking it is in my opinion quite an accurate thing to say, that most people who drink think they can drive just fine.

What other ppl do isn't in my control. Although my reasoning for my post this morning of the video was to prove that Mary Jane far less effects ur driving.

The difference I see is that MOST ppl who drink enough to be over the limit still want to drive even tho they are impaired... Ppl who smoke have no desire to get behind the wheel.


Nailed it. Alcohol makes you underestimate your impairment while cannabis makes you over estimate.

We're going to have to change the name of the site pretty soon to smokycajun! :smokin:

All BS aside, you do whatever the Hell makes you happy as long as you aren't a leech on society. But for godsakes, don't drink/smoke/huff/snort or pop pills and get behind a damn wheel.

It's in the tool song lateralus but it's a nod to the never ending spiral of the Fibonaci Sequence



In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci series or Fibonacci sequence are the numbers in the following integer sequence:[1][2]


or (often, in modern usage):

(sequence A000045 in OEIS)
By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 1 and 1, or 0 and 1, depending on the chosen starting point of the sequence, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.

In mathematical terms, the sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation


with seed values[1][2]


or[3]


The Fibonacci sequence is named after Fibonacci. His 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics,[4] although the sequence had been described earlier in Indian mathematics.[5][6][7] By modern convention, the sequence begins either with F0 = 0 or with F1 = 1. The Liber Abaci began the sequence with F1 = 1, without an initial 0.

Fibonacci numbers are closely related to Lucas numbers in that they are a complementary pair of Lucas sequences. They are intimately connected with the golden ratio; for example, the closest rational approximations to the ratio are 2/1, 3/2, 5/3, 8/5, ... . Applications include computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique and the Fibonacci heap data structure, and graphs called Fibonacci cubes used for interconnecting parallel and distributed systems. They also appear in biological settings,[8] such as branching in trees, phyllotaxis (the arrangement of leaves on a stem), the fruit sprouts of a pineapple,[9] the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone.[10]

Ecstasy would do the trick too, then maybe some LT's to kill the next day's pain from all the unbridled sex.
Unbridled sex is the way to go. She never could get used to having the bit in her mouth.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks,

I'de be a liar if I said I never drank and drive.........

But reality, when close to home has a way of changing your thought process.......

Some of you guys are much younger than me.......if you are sub thirty, you will be expereincing things in the next 20 years that you never dreamed could happen to you......

The death of my grandfather was the first of such life changing experiences for me......I was 31........

I am not intending on lecturing.......not my style..........
However, the facts are the facts.........

I like my natural high's and lows too much. I also need my job (which includes random drug testing) to support my family and my outdoor habit.

I choose not to let my lil girl, wife, or myself down just to get baked on occasion and take chances with my employment.

That being said, I enjoy a beer or two at home every now and then, and a very occasional bourbon.

I don't care what other people do, as long as it doesn't impede the happiness and safety of me or mine.
