The cops bought 2 quads that patrol the park on weeknights and all weekend. There was nowhere left to go. But we found a place. We started smoking out my friend's barn and one night, his mom walked in. She knows we all smoke, and she smokes too. But she lectured us anyway, and that's exactly what she said. And you know what, a the next week, when we ran out of weed and were totally sober, I started thinking and realized that she's right.

Now I'm trying to switch from total fucking stoner, getting as fucking high as I can everyday, to the occasional user. I got a job, work during the week, then Friday or Saturday night, toke up, have some fun.

I like Obama, but I'm not 100% sure he is going to keep his promises. I've been rooting for him the whole way. I Know he isn't going to deliver like he is saying, but now he's the best we got.

Oh yeah? I think yer Ma`s a million times the best for you than BO.

As with a lot of things, the mindset you have towards them is much more significant than the things themselves.

The majority of people who use cannabis are not disaffected. They're just people who like to get high on occasion.

That's one of the positive aspects of being a marijuana user! If I couldn't laugh at the incredibly screwed-up human condition, I'd probably want to kill myself.

I think you would have to quantify what you just said about drug use, as it pertains to Barack Obama`s early life.............Excerpt:
Main article: Early life and career of Barack Obama
Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at the Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Obama, Sr., a Black Kenyan of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham, a White American from Wichita, Kansas. His parents met while both were attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student.[3] They separated when he was two years old and later divorced.[4] Obama's father returned to Kenya and saw his American-born son only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982.[5] After her divorce, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967, where Obama attended local schools in Jakarta until he was ten years old. He then returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents while attending the private Punahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979.[6] Obama's mother returned to Hawaii in 1972 for several years, then returning to Indonesia for her fieldwork. She died of ovarian cancer in 1995.[7]
Following high school, Obama moved to Los Angeles, where he studied at Occidental College for two years.[8] He then transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations.[9] Obama graduated with a B.A. from Columbia in 1983, then worked at Business International Corporation and New York Public Interest Research Group.[10][11]

Barack Obama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Take note that he chose a career in the application of the very things he despised as a youth. People do drugs for a variety of reasons; most of which a large number of individuals are not consciously aware of themselves. I hope this brilliant young man continues to challenge us all to become assets to our families and our nation. Great to know that today`s generation of college age men and women are more than willing to take up a challenge.Give `em something worthy to strive for, Barack.

Interesting quote if anything. I'm not big on Obama, although I don't know too much about him. I think he is a decent enough guy, at least more than most, and I am glad he isn't denying any past marijuana/drug use at least.

I just thought I'd bring this up as a matter of discussion. With the American voter being the way that they are, do you really think someone named Barrack Hussien Obama is going to be elected to the White House? Half the people in this country thinks he's a muslim. His name rhymes with Osama. Some black people feel he isn't black enough and some white people feel he is too black. Other than a curiousity, can he be an effective candidate?

i agree with you and i thought his answer to the marijuana question was truthful..and i in no way see it as a negative. he did weed and cocaine too, who knows what else he tried. point is barack obama doesnt support the war on drugs, but obviously hes not going to say that in public...maybe after hes elected..which he prolly wont. i really want him to team up with clinton tho cuz shes gonna win most likely. then it would be them versus rudy and some other shmuck all the women and black voters would vote for clinton obama. and the rest of the people that vote that way are added to them, and u got a for sure win.. the intersection (Women voters U black voters) yields better chance of winning

but obama will not run with hillary which is a shame cuz hes not going to win unless something big happens. i heard clinton gonna run with some non popular guy whos to her right on the war. anyway im rambling..

If she offers him the VP spot, he had better take it as it will be a long time before anyone else offers it to him.

Yeah, but his campaign has said that he no longer believes in decriminalizing marijuana afaik. And at one of the debates, he agreed with the notion that marijuana should not be decriminalized.

That's fine by me, I'd rather he play it safe. I feel he is a much better candidate than McCain and a slightly better one that Hilary, so I'd prefer that he massages the masses and takes the safe road. I don't care if he decriminalizes, I don't think he'd get support from Congress on that anyway. I don't think the world is ready for decriminalization, and it would only add to the ammunition of obnoxious pundits who will ramble on about how terrible drugs are (probably loudest of all from Rush Limbaugh, fucking idiot).

I think we'll need at least another 15-20 years before people realize that decriminalizing marijuana is the best way to go. Of course, I'm sure they thought that back in the 70s...
