Medicating, or getting high?

"Why do you smoke marijuana?" asks a potential employer.
"It's helps with my {insert politically correct/medical term here}" I reply.
"Don't you get a high from that medication?"
"Yes, yes I do and your point being?"
"I'm concerned whether or not you will be able to perform the job adequately and adhere to safety guidelines" comes a stern reply.
"Well I was able to ride a bicycle amongst rush hour traffic and be on time for this interview, which I might add you were late for. I not only applied for the job with a well written resume and have the necessary education but the work history which would make me the perfect candidate for the position. So outside of your personal prejudices about my use of marijuana is there any other reasons why you do not see me as future employee of your company?"

I didn't wait to hear if he had a reply or not, just walked out... the interviewer was a fellow school mate and scored at the bottom half of the class while I on the other hand did not.

What's my point here because I seem to have forgotten :eyesmoke:

Heroin is still legally prescribed in the UK. Cocaine is still in rare use as an anesthetic, albeit rarely. Methamphetamine is prescribed in the US for ADHD, depression, and narcolepsy.


I thought I had a point there, but I've lost it.

Just watching American Weed (was that entire show setup to discredit marijuana? There's a guy who's been busted for having visible outdoor plants, and claims ignorance, despite having a sign posted on his front door saying this is the law and i comply with it)

But because of this, almost in the same line as this thread, i have to ask the question. Why do people talk about medical marijuana as if it's a different strain to normal marijuana? some form of false feeling of self-worth or something (this applies to dealers, growers, buyers, everyone)

Marijuana is marijuana, there is no medical marijuana, it is all medical. what is all this bullshit about someone not taking care of their plants so it is as such not medical cannabis? You could take the shittest of shittiest of mexican brockweed, it is medical cannabis. I know my opinion on that (marketing, justification for higher prices, etc) but are people really that stupid as to thinking they should be proclaiming that some cannabis is medical, some is not? How is that going to help anything? By that notion, should it be right for someone to be arrested, despite their card, because the police do not deem what they are using as medical cannabis, but just brick weed purely because some stuck up twats think their weed is somehow medically different, as opposed to simply stronger?

Trust me... morphine aint 1/10th as hardcore as heroin, and only about 1/4th as hardcore as oxy's or hydrocodone mg for mg. I never understood that shit, considering that heroin is derived FROM morphine. Doesn't make much sense... I am however, totally with you on the whole "medicate" thing (annoying as fuck), but I don't think that it's only us retarded Americans who have strange forms of vernacular that don't make much sense. I for one, have always found it very strange how the English and the Australians refer there friends as "mates". I personally feel like it's a rather homoerotic way of referring to one's friends. I mean.... mates are suppose to pair up and fuck. Just kinda weird when you think about it.

I see I'm a bit late to this party, and hopefully I'm not re-stating someone's comment, and hope someone still reads this. It's strictly because america isn't ready to have an educated discussion about anything that has been labeled as inappropriate in the past. Average Americans are literally afraid of weed. So really instead of saying, "hey man, I just worked all day in a cubicle and now I feel like getting high eating my shitty processed dinner and going to sleep" and accepting that for what it is (normal-ish), we need to re-invent the wheel, weed is already bad, but not this, this is "medication" "it really isn't what your dad smoked in the 60's it has all these chemicals which we don't understand and are finding out help fight cancer", right because you believe that the last 30 (or so) years of genetic training, by dealers, for high yields/ lots of resin, has done more than nature could do for the millions of years the plant was on the earth. Right america, this is new medicine that was never discovered before, just make it legal and shut the fuck up... sorry if I'm coming off as a huge hippie right now...

hey man, I'd say that like at least 60% of americans over 30 have no idea/care about weed. its just not a part of their life, now instead of accepting that younger people just do this and it's relaxing and has become a part of some culture, they need to see it as something new. I'd bet most of our parents have no idea what C.B.D is they just see a news story about it every once in a while and assume it's something new, because thats what they need to be able to accept that young people do this now. They can't just accept it as a good thing, I don't know maybe I'm just way out on a limb here...

And I'm a medical marijuana patient from michigan, and I can attest to the fact that people outside my generation literally don't care at all

I get high. :eyesmoke:

I've never referred to anything I've done as "medicating"... I feel like that's a term people use to feel superior to those that smoke to "get high". Truth of the matter is, anyone out there that smokes can most likely find SOMETHING, physically or mentally, that smoking helps. I've found that it helps me sleep and helps with my anxiety. I also take Zoloft and Welbutrin for my anxiety... but I don't consider taking any of those or smoking anything to be "medicating"... that's stupid.

And there's no reason why smoking to "get high", or to relax after a long day at work, should have a negative connotation.
