Juggalo culture actually seems like one of the more peaceful cultures out there; worst story I can think of is when my girlfriend at the time told me about how she was gangraped at Bonnaroo, which is like a hippie festival. You don't really hear about that sort of thing at GotJ shows.

Gang raped? Jesus that's fucking awful. Was anyone arrested? How is she dealing with it?

I don't know. She just brought it up one time and that was that.. I really haven't talked to her for probably 14 years. But she's on the facebooks and is married and works at a fitness center now. I had the same reaction though when she mentioned it though, there were a lot of drugs and alcohol involved like that's any sort of excuse.. she was actually one of the kids on the Baby Lift plane so there was a lot of stuff that I can't fathom or begin to understand but she's doing just fine, somewhere in the Minnesota now.

You know how fighter pilots like to paint kill tallies on their aircraft? Do you guys put pot-leaves on your boats? Galpal said she used to do that when she was in the Coast Guard. She also said a lot of the confiscated pot went "missing".

At least in legal weed states, it IS off the streets! I don't smoke it myself but at least I'm glad that people who do are having access to good weed and not something that's laced with PCP, since weed went from a drug the cops usually shrugged off as a very minor offense to a class 1. Like, my girlfriend smokes a TON of weed because it helps her with her fibro, and I drink a bunch to help with my social anxiety. But I'd never go to a bar if I thought there was a 50/50 chance that I'd be poisoned with a Mickey the way you have to if you don't know your bartender the way that pot smokers had to worry about getting addicted to something else if they didn't trust their dealer.

We do that. We put up snowflakes and leaves on our ships.

Watch out for that garbage. A lot of pot is laced with other drugs and will lead to heavier stuff, and the money spent on drugs goes towards terrorism, and it'll turn you into a sloth.

You're an idiot for doing so.

Just saying.

No one has to import pot.

And you had been making such good progress Cena..

Letting drugs destroy your country is not progress. I wouldn't even have to be out fighting the war on drugs if all you would just say no. If everyone just quit drugs, there'd be no market. The cartels would go broke.

What do you mean 'given'? You get paid, don't you?

Keep up the good work, Cena! Lacking trade agreement authority, you're the last resort to protect our precious domestic weed farmers from predatory foreign bootleggers.

Cena's right, though. Destroying yourself with drugs is not progress, and you really should just say no.

I disagree as to whether it's the federal government's business what you do in your free time ("keep your laws off of my body", right?), but I can't fault Cena for being anti-drug.

As a serious pothead, whenever I hear about people busted importing pot, I kind of have to wonder where that shit even winds up and who is buying it.

I'm sure where I live has a lot to do with it, but nobody here except maybe high schoolers who don't know any better would even buy something like that at any price.

Come to think of it, the last time I even saw brick weed in person was when I was teenager twenty years ago.

Also, letting drugs "destroy" (hahaha) your country is progress. Basically anything is progress over "kill or imprison all who oppose you over the arbitrarily decided legal status of substances".

There's ways to fix drug problems that don't involve military actions or throwing otherwise innocent people in jail for life. They're even cheaper and probably ultimately more effective than the military thing. Guess why it's not popular?

Because you wouldn't want any of those scumbag drug takers getting entitlements, you think to yourself as you sip your evening scotch. It's clear that the best way for the government to spend money is the way where nobody that isn't exactly like could ever benefit from it, hang the cost.

Ok Cena, I know its your job, but that doesnt mean you have to believe nonsense, most jobs nowadays are bullshit anyway, so dont feel bad if yours also is.

If you really care about the larger issue of recreational drugs in society and prohibition I'd recommend you read this for starters.

I'll be happier when I get back to search and rescue.

It all depends. One of the reasons I gave up smoking was because my ex-wife called me away from work, almost getting me fired, having these vapor trails every time she tried to close her eyes. You name it and I've been around someone who's injected/smoked/snorted something, and I've never vicariously experienced such a freakout. Weed's popular and safe enough that it's the easiest one to lace.

I'm guessing it was PCP, which I've also smoked, but I knew what I was getting into and prepared like you do with LSD, MDMA or Psilocybin. Thinking you're going to get stoned and watch the Simpsons though is every bit as bad as getting GHB at a bar, so I'm glad it's getting regulated.

Libertarians are all about drugs.

It'd be like a bar cutting a draft beer with Scotch, doesn't happen.
