If I had a penny for everyone that’s seen the banner ad and then asked me why I was looking at a drug site at work I’d be able to buy some seriously good drugs. And Doper there is lots of good stoned reading material. 😉 See ya around. ---

We really should have a disclaimer. The ‘dope’ in the title has about as much to do with recreational drug use as, say, my cat’s name of Chester serves as a reminder for the great, woefully misunderstood president Chester A. Arthur. Which is to say not at all. Are drugs discussed? Intermittently. But your bong would probably run out of water by the time you found one on an average day. ---

I am glad this place has the word “dope” in the title… that seems to enhance the stonar amount. I have no idea what the word enhance means… this is not my mothertongue… but it sounds somewhat apropriate… okay… I meant “rise”. And, no… not stoned right now… 🙂 You ll like it here… nice bunch… loons ---

Interestingly enough, when I first saw this thread, I thought “DNFTT”, but declined to comment since I’m fairly new here and didn’t want to step on toes! Guess maybe I’ll stick with my instincts from now on… ---
