Anti-Smoking: Adventures in Irony

     Everyone complains about smoking these days. It’s getting to the point that the simple act of having a cigarette by your car in an open-air parking lot is a damnable offense.  People can be so ridiculously dramatic about it, claiming, “You people are polluting the air for the rest of us!” as they get into their oversized, gas-guzzling SUV’s and speed away.
     But the one, snarky question that I love the most is, “If you’re so broke, why do you smoke?” And there’s such a simple answer, really.

      Smoking gives me a moment to walk away from a volatile situation and take a few deep breaths. Very often, it also gives me the chance to pause and reflect in an attempt to try and understand someone else’s viewpoint, rather than making a kneejerk reaction to lambast them for doing something I don’t agree with…

     …like smoking.

Why Marijuana Will Not Be Legalized

Marijuana is far too volatile a substance.  So let’s look at it from a Medical perspective:

There’s a good percentage of the population who react oppositely to what you’re always told.  Instead of relaxing, laughing a bit, they become paranoid, panicked and even violent.  While Smokers and users of the mini dab rig generally suggest this is a mere “1% of the population,” as per the NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) rhetoric, it’s simply not true.  Medical professionals generally agree the percentage is around fifty percent, and even higher when used together with alcohol and even some non-prescription drugs. On websites like https://highergrounds.ca/ you can find testimonials of people who really enjoy it and feel it helps them, but we have to think about society at large, not just a few people, we need more discussion about facts. Although when consuming drugs is important to not abuse drugs because they can cause drug addiction. Drug addiction is one of the worst things that you can experience, if you know someone who needs help visit https://firststepbh.com/blog/alcoholism-effects-addicts-kids.
There’s also the rhetoric that it’s less harmful than cigarettes, which is entirely untrue.  Marijuana features a much higher level genotoxicity, and is capable of causing errors in genetic replication at eight times of the rate of cigarettes.  Genotoxins can lead to tumors, and can passed on in the form of birth defects.  As for the generally held myth that it contains less tar than cigarettes, even best-case scenario, a single joint contains eight times the amount of tar — along with 50% more carcinogens — than an entire pack of Camel Lights.

Past the obvious and immediate health effects, you end up with the “high” effects.  Unlike Alcohol, which is legal, the effects of Marijuana vary too greatly per person, and there’s no way to guage a “recommended dosage,” or how long the effects will last.  While a shot of alcohol relies on a “high” based on a purely biological trigger — cellular osmosis — and will fully run its course in around four hours, the effects of Marijuana come from inhibiting neuron reception and asphyxiation, with long-term daily use causing permanent and irreversible brain damage, so in case anyone consume this drug to help with their health, they should know there are better options and supplements that help with this, they can go to some websites to get a patriot power greens free sample and find out how good is for their health.

Pretty much what you end up with is that only Weed Smokers and NORML say it isn’t harmful, when there’s plenty of medical data to the contrary. This applies to pain management as well, where there are less harmful to administer options such as cbd oil. As you can see in this article at anipots.com, there are no known side-effects and no harm to lungs which would invariably occur from smoking.

Several Politicians have gained voters by claiming they support Marijuana Legalization.  Unfortunately, these are usually the exact people who intend to make money from it.  Every weed smoker in the United States says, “Never trust when someone says, ‘We’re from the Government and we’re here to help you.'”  Unfortunately, they seem to throw out that logic for the first Senator who says he’s going to push for Reform…

Of course, when faced with this kind of information, smokers end up showing off the long-term effects of their escapism: diminished emotional capacity and stunted conflict resolution skills.

And if you don’t believe me, just watch the comments…

Check out more information about Marijuana at the U.S. National Institute of Health and the National Highway Transport Safety Authority.

Ya know, my particular “dislike” of monotonous mediatard Wolf Blitzer is rather well known in some circles, so stuff like this just makes my day.

Calling Over and Over and Over and …

     Doncha hate it when people call, you ignore it or don’t answer because you’re in the middle of something, and they keep calling over and over and over, not leaving a voicemail, or actually giving you any more than two seconds peace between rings?

     After about the third time, you’re thinking, “Oh, shit, this must be important!”  So you answer the call…
     “Hey? Whatcha doing?”

     My favorite answer?  “Well, dumbass, I was busy ignoring your incessant, non-emergency phone calls, but you interrupted that…”

     Of course, I’ve used a few others. 

     “Ok, do you hear the water?  I am in the f#$*ing shower, ya know…”
     “WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL TO TAKE A DUMP IN PEACE?”
     “What?  So it’s not important?  Well, sorry I was busy whacking it, and I was almost there…. thanks!”

     Of course, three years ago, it was always because, well, “we” were “busy” just about every waking hour.   Callers like that rarely expected to hear two voices answering the same phone… And ya know what…
     I do miss that, if nothing else…
