WendyFr laughs really hard
AndrewGo says, "good point, I think I was just trying to say
something really smart and it came out all wrong"

AndrewGo says, "Hey, I would like to see all drugs legalized
also but..."
AnandVy says, "Yes."
WendyFr says, "just wondering"
AnandVy says, "Only to quiet the screams of all those who hav"
AnandVy says, "have suffered before me. In my head."
AnandVy says, "Sorry guys I went a bit philosophical."
AndrewGo says, "Um, I thought we were talking about dugs"
AndrewGo says, "I mean drugs"
AndrewGo says, "I drank way to much"
WendyFr laughs.
AnandVy says, "But we would not seek out these intoxicats if
we, as humans, did not live in a world of suffering. But we do so we do
what we can to quiet the pain."

WendyFr says, "that's ok"
WendyFr says, "start on the topic then"
WendyFr says, "I'll join in"
AndrewGo says, "Drugs are bad if you used wrongly"
WendyFr says, "good call"
AndrewGo says, "Omit 'you'"
AnandVy says, "Anythingis bad if used wrong. "
AndrewGo says, "Not a refrigator"
AndrewGo says, "Or a skateboard"
AndrewGo says, "Or, a banana"
AndrewGo says, "A lot of things"
AnandVy says, "If it is dropped on someones' head a
refrigerator is very bad."
AndrewGo says, "It is what is considered 'wrong'"
WendyFr says, "but there has to be something negative about
doing drugs or there would not be such a big fuss."
AnandVy says, "No. that is the government trying to control
our minds."
WendyFr says, "if they were so good for you, the gov't would
encourage drug use"
WendyFr says, "why do you say that?"
AnandVy says, "The point is not whether thay are good for, but
if we should be allowed access to them.. Cheese is not good for us at
all yet we can eat it for every meal"
AndrewGo says, "Hey, I like cheese"
AnandVy says, "I love cheese."
WendyFr laughs.
AndrewGo says, "I just don't want crack to be available at
Eckerd's is all I'm saying"
AnandVy says, "But if we ate cheese only forevery meal we
would die within one year."
AnandVy says, "Crack is different."
AndrewGo says, "I know"
AnandVy says, "that is why I am speaking of specifics."
AndrewGo says, "But not in the legilzation of drugs"
AndrewGo says, "Do you want people to be able to smoke crack
after every meal"
AndrewGo says, "They would die i less than a year"
AndrewGo says, "I would think"
WendyFr says, "I just don't agree with the fact that you say
drugs are not bad for you at all"
AndrewGo says, "I don't think he is saying that though"
AnandVy says, "Is a plant that was made by whoever or what
ever made us worse than a beverage (beer) that we produce. "
WendyFr says, "what's he saying?"
AndrewGo says, "What are you saying, by the way?"
AndrewGo says, "But we use plants to produce beer"
AnandVy says, "If the answer is yes we humans give ourselves
too much credit."
WendyFr says, "I'm not saying alcohol is good for you by any
means"
AnandVy says, "But we have to manufacture it. We have tyo."
AndrewGo says, "Then you bviously have never grown before"
WendyFr says, "what?"
AndrewGo says, "Not that I have, mind oyu"
WendyFr laughs.
AnandVy says, "We do not have to manufacture a plant that
grows in the wonderful sun and soil"
AndrewGo says, "Processes have after"
WendyFr says, "true"
AndrewGo says, "I'm sorry, I cvan not type"
AnandVy says, "Look man I can grow the dank, i know all about
it."
AndrewGo says, "Hey I'm not saying you can't"
WendyFr says, "don't get defensive, it's your business"
AndrewGo says, "I'm just saying that is a more effort into
growing then making beer"
AnandVy says, "I'm saying it takes a mini factory to make
beer, but the sun can make this wonderful little plant."
WendyFr says, "I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it"
AndrewGo says, "You can't smoke that 'wonderful' plant, it is
a waste"
AndrewGo says, "I mean the whole plant"
AnandVy says, "In Jamacia, I've been there, this man took me
to his field. It was beautiful and sun did all the work."
AndrewGo says, "But how did he get it from the field to you"
AnandVy says, "By cutting it"
AndrewGo says, "By curing, harvesting, scenting, etc."
AndrewGo says, "ther are some many more ways then ppeople
think"
AnandVy says, "But man you're missing the point. The plant
would be here without us humans, beer would not. Think abouthtis fact."
AndrewGo says, "Get a book called The Harvestor's Grow Guide
Great book"
AnandVy says, "I have it, I prefer Ed Rosenthal to anybody
though."
AndrewGo says, "He is okay but High times is monitored by the
gov't"
WendyFr says, "so anand, do you think that it is good for you?"
WendyFr says, "just curious"
AnandVy says, "What?"
AnandVy says, "What is good?"
WendyFr says, "do you think that doing drugs is healthy?"
AndrewGo says, "No"
AnandVy says, "It depends on which ones. "
