Yesterday I did the unthinkable. I went to Radio Shack.(I needed some small parts for a project I am working on).
I walked into the store and was very impressed to find no employees working.
I don’t mean standing around, I mean no one in the store…at all. So I spend about 5 minutes finding the parts I need, finally two employees walk out of the back room. When they walked out of the room, the unmistakable smell of marijuana filled the store. Both employees were pretty out of it, it was rather amusing watching them work high.
Just more proof of Radio Shacks high standards.

Whoops.

@SkyeBlue: Googling Skye Blue: is interesting… obviously your’re not against the shady pr0n industry which destroys lives everyday.
@erratapage: “I feel out of place laughing at movies like Dude, Where’s my Car?, too, since I really don’t get stoned.”
isn’t that such a broad assumption? Perhaps you wouldnt laugh at it regardless, because its a bad movie?
What’s the big deal? They were just following orders.

@SkyeBlue: way to “harsh my mellow”
@Zagroseckt:
are you serious?
worst spelling ever.. normally i don’t say anything about spelling but wow
I worked at radio shack for a while. There’s actually manditory drug testing when they hire you. Also not everyone there is clueless. I was able to help many people with the finer points of microcontroller programming!
@SkyeBlue: I really consider myself to be QUITE openminded, not SIMPLISTIC at all, so if you can tell me one positive benefit of weed I’d like to hear it, seriously!
Well, it does reduce the intensity of my monthly cramping. Many women already know this.
Regardless, all my anecdotal evidence contradicts yours, so I guess that makes me right too!
I had a friend that worked at Cold Stone. Nearly every day he worked, he’d get stoned in the freezer with his friend, with a third person out front. Quite honestly I think it’s hillarious (not taking into account health code stuff), especiall that they didn’t eat all the ice cream.
@mac-phisto: Ha ha, me too. I worked for a video store and people would come in high sometimes and that was the best time to up sell the candy. I used to sell so much, lol.
I sell batteries so I get high…
@SkyeBlue: Not everyone I know who drinks milk went on to torture kittens, but _everyone_ I know who has tortured kittens has drunk milk.
Does marijuana have negative consequences? Yes. Kids shouldn’t do it, just like they shouldn’t drink or play with guns. People shouldn’t use it as a substitute for living their lives. It does help enable a certain type of person to escape into a world of pure sloth, though that personality type will find a path to sloth without pot, too.
However, looking at adult acquaintances who use it, it’s not as bad as any of the following: alcohol consumption, nicotine consumption, daily soda pop consumption, failing to exercise, not getting enough sleep, eating too much saturated fat, getting into credit card debt, or working in a high-stress environment.
As for positive benefits how about this one: people enjoy it. Of the adult professionals who I know or suspect consume it, I think they tend to land in the upper quartile in the physical/mental health spectrum. They tend not to be the type-a personalities that burn out, treat their families like crap or have heart attacks at 45.
