Can FE be a Good Career for Lazy, Unmotivated Post-Milennialls?

Good weed's not cheap? :laugh:

The high cost is why most of us quit that kind of stuff. lol

If only.

I live in Portland, Oregon and from my front door, with 10 minutes' walk (not even driving), I can be at a counter with dozens of ultra-high quality varieties to choose from, in flower or vape cartridges or cookies or pills or gummi bears or beverages or teas or tinctures or lip balms.

And it's ridiculously cheap. You could sustain a high-grade marijuana habit working at McDonald's. I regularly see signs for $99 per ounce...and that's very high grade stuff because that's all they sell. Many places offer $1 pre-rolled joints. If you smoke a joint over two sessions then 20 of those is approaching the price of a pack of cigarettes...how insane is that?

And if you don't want to drive, we have delivery services that will bring it to your door, 24x7x365. There are billboards advertising them.

Or of course, just buy some seeds and grow your own.

There has to be at least several hundred pot shops in Portland...I see one in most strip malls, and they come and go regularly with new names.

We have epic homelessness (I passed 38 separate tent encampments on a 12 mile drive last week), rude people, trash everywhere, horrible schools, black-masked idiots pumping their fists in the street, more traffic accidents, super high taxes, and numerous other problems. Legalize it they said...what could go wrong?

(No, I don't smoke...seen what it does and seen the lies they tell about its harmlessness).

My daughter-in-law's parents live in Oregon. They tell me that so many people are growing it...there's too much and it's cheap....and they're having to sell it on the black market to get rid of it. The pot I've been buying has been better the past year. Maybe I'm buying Oregon pot. Oregon Gold. It'll be legal here in 3 1/2 months. :jiggy:

All the problems you mentioned, like homelessness....aren't because they legalized pot....it's because the West coast is being run by Liberals. :yes:

Or maybe they just like the weather? It's nice when you're sleeping in a car or box.:eek:
 
You have to smoke pot incessantly in Portland.
How else can you even deal with the likes of Antifa and their totally illegal violence towards conservatives.
The police and the state government are as Anti-American as Minnesota.
#MAGA
This should stir the "pot" a bit...

I think you have that a little backwards don't you? Don't you mean you've seen all the lies that the government tells you about it? Schedule 1 narcotic? That was made up by Schedule 1 idiots who didn't and still don't know what they are talking about. "It's a gateway drug!" Also made up by those who didn't have one clue of what they were talking about.

Beer was my gateway alcohol to hard liquor. :yes:

I rarely drink anymore. :no:

Pot's much better. :jiggy:

No, I don't think so.

Let me put it another way: I've been a marijuana addict in recovery for 30 years, with multiple relapses during that stretch. Those years were marred with insomnia, severe depression, memory loss, and brittle relationships. Been clean for the last 13 years but I'm an addict as sure as if I had once had a cocaine problem or something.

Rehabs are full of marijuana addicts. The press doesn't mention that, does it? Sure, heroin, meth, cocaine, etc. are worse drugs. I'll agree that alcohol is worse as well. But marijuana is an addictive drug, with psychiatric consequences and an addictive profile. Go read the reddit groups (e.g., /r/leaves) for those trying to quit and it's one story after another of people who've tried and failed, or struggled mightily to stop using after years of daily smoking. But in the press, in the advertising, etc. it's just a fun, harmless recreational drug.

As one doctor told me, "it's always the one people miss the most, it's always the one they relapse on first".

I think it's much like alcohol. Ironically, I've never cared for alcohol. I can go out and have a beer with my boss (which I do 2-3x a year), and I never drink more than 1-2, don't like being drunk, and if alcohol vanished from the face of the earth tomorrow I wouldn't miss it or care. A lot of people can have a drink or two, or party on a Friday night, and not become alcoholics. On the other hand, for me, if I smoke a joint, by the next morning I'm scheming how to get more, and then quickly it turns into being high 24x7x365 for years.

I just think people are lied to when they are told that marijuana is non-addictive and that there is virtually no societal impact. The people lining up in Portland dispensaries are not college kids wanting to party on weekends...they're dope fiends as sure as if they were into pills or smack. Take an 18-year-old and have him smoke for a few years and you will not get a well-adjusted, productive adult on the other side.

I agree the "gateway drug" stuff is nonsense. I never went on to other drugs. I didn't need to, and that's my point.

Not condemning anyone who smokes, or anyone who drinks for that matter. But I think at present there's a lot of BS out there about marijuana and we'll see where we are in 20 years as a society.
 
I never said it was non-addictive, but I will say that it is "low" addictive. In other words, if you quit, you'll have a few nights of not sleeping well. That is the physical addiction. And then that part's over before you know it. So the physical addiction isn't that great. It's the mental addiction that get you with it. But once again, even cigarettes are more addicting either physically or mentally than pot.

I'm sure Goillini has stopped at times over the years and will pretty much verify what I've said about it's addictiveness.

Now, on the other hand, if you already have an addictive personality...well, that would make it worse....but then again, that would go for any drug.
