The Gary Johnson thread

Glenfiddich

Ah, the Scott's do know what the Glen is is about. I survived a huge Kidney stone with aid of the blessings of the Glen, until a machine arrived in town to blast the stone into sand pebbles.
Now it takes some serious assistance to tolerate the pain a stone can bring, not much worse a man find. But when the stone was gone, it was time for the Glenfiddich to go with it.

I will confess, I was into the second bottle of the Glenfiddich by the time the first load of sand was pissed out. Ha! my boss called right about that time to remind me I had this thing in New York
the next day... I told him to GF himself and asked the wife to go get a backup supply.

OMG, rolling coal. That might need to be number one.

On your list HCP clearly isn't a number 2 but is a number 3 last I heard.

Hey my drug of choice is Glenfiddich neat or a Bulleit and soda, so it's not like I have some dog in the fight with marijuana -- it puts me up in my own head (so to speak), and I already spend way too much time there already.

With respect to those stats, you probably should go a step further and break those out by demographics if you want them to tell you anything meaningful. Off-hand I can see a few ways that those aggregate numbers might not be accurately telling the story you think they are (race, economic status, other substances found on the perpetrator(s) besides marijuana, etc.).

when family asks me what I want for Xmas, birthday, father's day, etc...that's my go to answer...Glenfiddich

 

[Han Dolo]

Stats from the US Dept of Justice indicate an upward trend of violent crime while under the influence of marijuana. .

For adults convicted of a violent crime while under the influence of drugs, over 70% of them are under the influence of marijuana.

The % of violent crimes committed while under the influence of marijuana as increase significantly over the last 20 years.

CAUTION: Correlation doesn't always equal causation. Marijuana is a big part of the inner-city culture, where much of the violence is committed. That certainly doesn't mean one causes the other.

True, but I was responding to the posters that tried to paint the picture that all pot smokers are mild mannered teddy bears, and most drinkers have anger management problems. (Slightly exaggerated for drama affect).

Would it be safe to say that more violent crimes are committed by those under the influence of marijuana than those under the influence of alcohol?

BTW, from my long past pot smoking experience, drinking alcohol makes all women prettier than a hot house flower, but I became way too stupid to seduce them. Smoking pot just made me darn horny. I became more sexually aggressive while on pot, which is not always a good thing. So from my experience, results are just the opposite of what many pot smokers are now saying about how it affects people.

Sounds like your problem. That is certainly not a normal occurrence.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Are we really debating alcohol vs marijuana? Alcohol can destroy families, marijuana annoys families when a couple members become really annoying about it. There's a big difference.

When it comes to work, no one should EVER do their job under the influence of any drug (unless you think caffeine is a drug).

It's pretty simple, also both have medicinal purposes. Isn't drinking a glass of red wine every so often good for you? I know that weed has a lot of pain relief purposes, my mother doesn't smoke it but uses the body creams and it has really helped her arthritis.

 

[riverman]

Back to Gary Johnson...I heard him talking in an interview about tax breaks for made in America goods...I liked his slant on it...he wants to basically get rid of income tax and have a larger luxury tax and import tax. Give the workers a shot at having a middle class lifestyle with some expendable income or savings ability.

 

[MarAzul]

Sounds like your problem.

What? You never experienced watching the women improve with each snifter, neat from the Glen? Geez, that is missing out! Prettier than a hot house flower, man! They don't teach that at MIT.
Oh bye the way, it makes Willie Nelson better too.

Come on guys, everyone knows the old cliché pot smoker, beating his wife and kids in between bong hits.

Oh wait.

Absolutely false. If my dad had drank himself stupid every night he might have kept a job for more than a few months. Not all drunks beat women.

He wanted to get high and we'd end up living with my grandmother again. Over and over. My parents weren't married when my younger brother was born. She'd divorced him and he stopped smoking pot later on and they got back together. He was 8 months old when dad missed work and got fired again. I was 7.

That was the end of our family.

He may have just been a lazy douche because of the pot, at least when he crashed his 60 something Econoline van and went through the windshield he was so high he didn't die.

I was a kid when that accident happened, years later I was wandering around the family farm and found it hidden between some trees. The front was gone, you could walk into the van from straight on. I'd never seen the van after the wreck, it was amazing he lived.

3. Left lane speed limit Nazis.
4. People who take more than 3 minutes at a Redbox
5. Cashiers who talk to the customer in front of you so much they slow down.
6. Everyone else but me at fucking Costco. I hate everyone in the store except the employees.
7. Sam's Club employees. Same stupid customers with an extra helping of stupid employees.
8. People who laugh like they are at a comedy club while at a quiet lunch spot. Usually they laugh at what THEY are saying, not something someone else said.
9. Friends taking up identical weight machines at the gym and talking to each other for 10 minutes between sets. I literally try to use my mind to give them strokes. I figure you'll never know you can do it unless you try.
10. Tool truck salesman. I'll gladly pay you twice as much as a tool should cost because you drive around in a giant gas guzzler and bullshit with employees of every shop you stop at. Yeah, no thanks.

I joked with my coworker yesterday that I would call in sick today. I haven't done it in the 10 years I've worked here. The few times I've missed work I've gone in sick and got sent home. That's entirely because of my dad.

I don't know man. It has basically just been about weed for 6 pages.

How about his stance on immigration. He has done more work in a state that borders Mexico than either Trump or Hillary, probably.

Johnson is pulling a lot of young republicans from Trump.
