> I was just pointing out that what he said wasn't literal.

Huh? I'd say that pretty much everyone who read that realized he wasn't being literal. There are people not being literal all over the place. Why did you focus on this specific example?

Do you really think anyone thought a toilet was involved?

Okay, I thought I would reply to everyone at once…. Sorry, hope this doesn’t turn out too long…Look, I wasn’t trying to yank on anyone chain. I was merely expressing that I had a bad experience with pot and it fuck me up pretty good for a while. Yeah, I was very impressionable back then. I came from a divorced family and I didn’t have hardly any guidance from my parents, as they were too involved with their divorce.. I pretty much tried to fit in and be cool at school and fell into the wrong group of guys! . We ditched classes to get high so we wouldn’t get caught. One of the guys lived close to the school campus so that was where we went to get high.. You guys are right. My GPA dropped to I think about a D+ /C- I was absent from so many classes, (We had 7 periods) for so many days, that I wasn't able to graduate. I had to take 12th grade over again but at a different school.My GPS was flushed as far as my parents and I were concerned... All that hard work was pretty much shot to hell. I took and passed my GED at the end of my second 12th grade term. It took me almost 2 years to get accepted into a university. Even then it was located in Spudsville, USA. (Boise State Univ.. Idaho) Nobody gave me a grant or offered me a scholarship, I paid for it myself. I graduated with a BBA with a GPA 3.86 honored with cum laude.As for Mr. White_Lines…. I never said anything about turning into a Homeless person if you smoke pot. I was only conveying me experiences with pot. I was referring to the smoking pot as a recreational drug not for people who use it for medicinal purposes. Oh Brother! But thanks for bringing it to everyone’s attention. I guess my other post was unclear in topic I love how there are a few individuals on this board who like to pick apart something you written. I’m guessing mostly, because it was generally written and not meant to cover the entire spectrum of the topic. Listen dude, if you want to smoke pot, that by all mean do want you want to do. In the long run, only you will have to face the outcome of your decision. I was merely passing along what happened to me. I was too wrapped up in trying to be cool, that I lost who I was in the process and had to pay dearly for my mistake. Hopefully, you will be more fortunate than I was. So please climb off the literal wagon guys…. Just try to look at what I‘ve written, as someone, who got fucked up from smoking pot, who was just sharing his experience I didn’t want them to have to go thru what I did….Oh, and Congratulations to all of your Harvard graduates who smoked pot while attending classes. That was an accomplishment in itself! I’m happy they made it. I did it clean and that was important for me!

In reply to: I literarily flushed a perfect 4.0 gpa that I was carrying between 7th and 11th grade down the shitter I found it funny that he used the term literally when he actually didn't mean it- a lot of people use literally as an intensifier, which it's not.

In reply to:I found it funny that he used the term literally when he actually didn't mean it- a lot of people use literally as an intensifier, which it's not. I’m guessing that I used the term “literally” when I actually didn't mean it… I thought it sounded expressive and descriptive. You are correct. A lot of people use it too literally as an intensifier, which it's not. I’m very sorry for Inappropriately using the word “Literally”. I'm guessing poor judgment?? It must have been from the lack of good functioning brain cells from my pot smoking days… Thanks for pointing it out!

Jeez, I'm pretty anal, and even I let that one go. I let it go when someone is relating a personal story, rather than being pedantic, or a pain in the ass.

because i was so high i didnt know any better right

and you call yourself a liberal, youre pathetic

I dont grow pot for a living, I don't grow pot at all, I don't know who told you that. And I love black people, I just hate the ones that are the reason why some people hate black people. If you're still on that you must be on your fucking rag or something.

You're right, I did just smoke some dank just now, which I bought off my black friend. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is on bye

i have 2 pints of cherry garcia

Can I come up and smoke some bowls with you? I'm kind of bored.

Uh-Oh! I better watch that! Thank you for the friendly reminder

I just lit up my last bowl, Im not buying anymore till i get to honolulu

He he thanks for your concern I will try not to get too wrecked last time I drunk loads of beer and topped it off with a load of whiskey and ended up passing out and puking and woke up and it was like 12 am and i was on the grass in my local park. So i decided to gve it up for a while. Tho I am planning on taking it back up on my vacation to the usa... cus its a vacation!

Why would anyone go on vacation to this country? If I lived somewhere else, America is the last shithole I'd travel to.
