Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

I would suggest inhaling smoke from any source is bad for you.

The question is, do people deserve to be fined or imprisoned for smoking a joint?

People don't deserve to be put in prison for what they do to themselves, so IMO no... it's when those that choose to do drugs/alcohol/etc. expect special consideration when being charged for actual crimes that they commit because of it.

I don't care what people do to themselves, so long as it doesn't affect others - though usually alcohol/drug/sex addictions typically do.

I find it hilarious that they "need more money" to study something that is blatantly obvious.

It wasn't obvious in the 30s and 40s, until studies happened.

The US Government denied that inhaling smoke from burnpits in Iraq and Afghanistan did anything, until studies happened.

The burden of proof is more than just "Trust me dude" or "It's blatantly obvious man"

Plus it goes beyond "It is harmful" to look at HOW is it harmful? WHAT kind of harm does it do? And of course, are there any actual benefits from it?

Nobody is asking that they do.

In the Louisiana Criminal Codes, it literally says that intoxication is no defense to any charge, unless you were given them involuntarily. I've never seen anyone get any special consideration because of an intoxicated state. Hell, it is usually augments the charge and makes things worse.

My buddy recently quit smoking the reefer, and he takes these CBD gummies. They have a tiny bit of THC, but it’s so small they are legal. Anyways, he kept telling me you gotta try them & they are awesome. I took one before we went to see Napoleon on Thanksgiving night, and every 30 minutes he kept asking me “you feel it?”. I didn’t feel shit. Must be a placebo effect for him (good for him if they’re a healthy alternative to smoking a doobie), but I can attest it’s not the same.

Yeah that’s pretty spot on him. It was rather annoying. “No I don’t feel shit and I’m just trying to watch the Battle of Waterloo in peace!”

CBD doesn't do shit.

People metabolize THC, when it's eaten, differently. I can eat an entire bag of edibles and they don't do a damn thing, my oldest daughter is the same way.

I used to paint with a guy who would grow his own, make butter with it, then bake cookies with the butter. Honestly its probably the highest I've ever been, after about an hour I was ready to tap out. I couldnt focus on anything I was supposed to be doing. I smoked pretty regularly at the time too.

"Wildland Fire Research: Health Effects Research"

"The effects of smoke from wildfires can range from eye and respiratory tract irritation to more serious disorders, including reduced lung function, bronchitis, exacerbation of asthma and heart failure, and premature death. Children, pregnant women, and the elderly are especially vulnerable to smoke exposure. Emissions from wildfires are known to cause increased visits to hospitals and clinics by those exposed to smoke."

There... I just saved those "researchers", and the taxpayers, a ton of money.

Question: Does "insert whatever noun here" smoke affect a person's health?
Hypothesis: Possibly? We know about some "types" of "smoke" are bad for a person, but "other types" of "smoke" are possibly not as hazardous.

Burn a wildfire (ie. weed) in your house... of course we're not sure what the long term health effects could be...

It's like inquiring Google about instructions to install a screen door on a submarine... I do need some money first to fund my research to determine the possible detrimental effects.

And don't say "WELL THAT'S COMMON SENSE!"... without research we don't really know now, do we?

Morons.
