You are thick, I’ll give you that. I understand exactly what you are saying. I’m saying I don’t believe you.
Your position in this thread has been you’re right because:
“I was stoned in 90% of my college classes and got straight A’s.”
“I am one of those people who never seemed to suffer any impairment.”
“Pot actually seemed to clear me up and help me concentrate”
“I drove stoned a billion times. Never hit one school bus.”
“It never impaired me at all.”
“Always turned in my work on time. Never cheated or missed a test. I got my A’s on merit, aced tests and wrote good papers. I was baked in high school too that’s why I graduated early.”
How are any the above statements substantively different from “I AM the evidence”? They are not. You made an ass of yourself and you are trying (and failing horribly) to convince everyone you were joking. Using yourself or your experiences as a cite/proof/evidence is SOP for you. You do it in every thread you commandeer.
Here is what the stud(y/ies) say(s), which no one is arguing about:
*Pot smokers are not at an increased risk for car accidents, and may actually be safer drivers than someone who’s sober
Here is what the studies *also *say, which you’re plugging your ears and going “lalala” to:
*Pot affects your cognition, motor skills, etc. in a negative fashion
*Pot smokers are generally aware of this impairment and compensate for it at lower levels of impairment (which may be greater or smaller levels of marijuana use, depending on the person)
*Pot smokers will generally refrain from potentially dangerous activities, such as operating vehicles, when they are too impaired to do so safely (which again does not necessarily correlate with the *amount of marijuana *someone has smoked/injested/etc.)
I was quietly hoping Cartooniverse would come back to clear things up, but since he didn’t, I’ll just add to the noise.
I think Dio is talking crazy, contridicting himself and scrambling to scoot goal posts. But I knew “I AM the Evidence” was a joke the second I saw it. In the tradition of “My post is my cite” and “I AM the hall monitor”… I think it was just a joke.
I have been too stoned to make it to the front door from the back of the party. Literally had to stand right there on the back deck for an hour until I came down a bit. Best weed ever. Almost no one was left in the club by the time I met my friends out front. No way would I drive in that condition.
I think it was really wack for Dio to try the ol’ “You all are just sheep that swallowed the whole Reefer Madness Propaganda!ZOMG!!!” Lots of the people disagreeing with you are current or former weed smokers. I have a Legalize It Tshirt. It’s ugly to watch you stoop to that tactic. Stop it.
Well, that’s just it, though. I’m sure he did mean it as a joke in that post, but it’s basically how he was acting in all of his other posts, too. Which is what makes it extra funny.
I am just bummed out because nothing - NOTHING - that I ever say on this message board will ever be as memorable as “I AM the evidence!” That is going down in the Dope Hall of Fame, right there.
