Stoned Person Buying Bullets

I have to disagree with the demyelinating swiss cheese bs too. Most of the brain is grey matter, not white matter. Grey matter is not myelinated to begin with. This sounds like something straight out of Reefer Madness. Which I have watched part way. I only got partway through it and thought, man, I have never smoked this crap but I think you would have to be high to actually make it through this hystaria laced pos.

As far as the original post, perscription drugs will impair you a lot worse than pot will but we don't stop all the house wives on vallium from buying ammo do we? I agree with biker, here's another non- skinned Johnson to add to the count.
 
I highly doubt pot had anything to do with them being nutjobs, especially Kennedy with all the booze he drinks. I know quite a few people who smoke pot , both my age and from that generation and they're not all screwed up. I'd bet that quite a few of the older people in my State AG's office smoke recreationally even now, and even more did it in their youth.

effects of marijuana include problems with memory and learning, distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch), trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor coordination, increased heart rate, and anxiety.These effects are even greater when other drugs are mixed with marijuana.

Why do these traits seem to outline so many babyboomers then? Clinton and Kerry have trouble with memory, Bush has trouble with learning, Pelosi has trouble with thinking and problem solving, Feinstein suffers with anxiety and distorted perceptions...need I go on. I don't care that people choose to smoke pot, I just get sick of the arguements made about the health benefits and how safe it is. It's about as safe a alcohol IMO, and has close to the same effects. Our country is about freedom-especially freedom to do something others don't approve of (unless you are infringing on the freedoms)
 
whose eye contact is not of the eagle-eyed full-contact

Nothing gets on my nerves more than people who think its an arm wrestling match when you shake their hand and then stare you down.
 
Anybody ever hear of potheads shooting each other? Seems like a buncha anti-drug propaganda/hysteria.

I used to smoke a LOT of weed, but having a family was the end of that for me. I personally think alcohol is much more inebriating, but thats MHO.

As for the OP, who's to tell if there stoned or not? Worry about something else.

As an aside, there's a gun shop here in Fort Worth that has a sign by their front door asking customers who are high or smell like pot to not bother coming in.

Yeah, there's an honest and unbiased source. :rolleyes:

These are the same people that lied to the public, showing the brainwave activity of a child in a coma and claiming it was the brainwave activity of a child on pot.
 
Stoned

Interesting how the "Chicken Little" mentality catches on...even amongst gunnies...in the wake of a tragedy.

Go to your local pub/bar/beer joint/sports bar...and watch. You'll notice several of the patrons making multiple trips to the bar for refills of their favorite brand of Sam Adams. Within a couple of hours, you can be pretty sure that they're all inebriated to some degree...and you can probably assume that at least half of them will be sliding behind the wheel of a motor vehicle when the place closes. Some of us will offer a ride or the call for a cab...and if refused, we simply admonish the guy and remind him to be extra, extra careful...and go back to our party while the bartender pours him "One for the road."

Which is the more dangerous...A pothead with lungful of sweetleaf and a box of ammo in a bag, or a drunk behind the wheel of a 2-ton automobile on a Saturday night?

The drunk for sure. The pothead is mellowed out somewhere. :)
 
not sure that this matters - but I've noticed there are a lot of things that smell similar to marijuana. Or at least to what I think marijuana smells like. I probably overestimate because I've never actually smelled marijuana up close. Only at sporting events where somebody nearby was probably smoking it, or in a college dorm where I was pretty sure the kids in the room next-door were smoking it.
 
Perhaps they were Native Americans, or followers of some of the Native religions, and had just finished smudging their house or car with some sweetgrass before heading out to buy some bullets.

Up here on the rez, you can often smell the smoke on people after a sweat, or a smudging.

Just because you hear hoofs doesn't mean there is a horse headed your way, it could well be a zebra.

Rather than being concerned about the bullet buying, you should have been concerned they were going to get back in their car and drive away, while being "stoned". You can call the police for things like that, you know.

But, but, but...It's illegal!!!!!!;)


Good googaly moogaly that is the best arguement that some of you can come up with.:barf:
 
Oh come-on! Why can't I use biased info to criticize politicians? And yes I get all my gun info from brady.org:neener:
 
So a stoner wants to buy some ammunition. What's the problem? Sell the guy a bag of brass. If he's truly ripped he won't know the difference ... :)
 
And I'd like a twinkie with that box of .45 please.


wow man, did you see the flame that came out of that barrel!!!
 
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of hippyness. Or was that happiness?

Either way more power to them as long as they don't hurt anyone else's shot at life, liberty, etc.
 
Going to Drugfree.org for info on drugs is like going to the brady campains site for gun info. Go to erowid.com for the truth about drugs not made up loony propaganda.
 
My initial reaction to this is "so?". Trust me, I fully understand that shooting while drunk/stoned is a bad idea, and I would never suggest that one should do that. That being said, I can't say that I see the problem with someone buying bullets if that someone is stoned. I have eaten at restaraunts when I was drunk, and the only factor that I was judged with then was my behavior. Of course, there are some pretty big legal ramifications. I can just see the headline "Stoner buys bullets for semi-auto assault rifle at Timbo's House O' Guns!!! Tape at 10". I guess what it boils down to is coherence and attitude for me. If s/he was coherent and if s/he wasn't being a jerk, I don't know that I would turn his business away, especially if all I was going on was smell. If there was some absolute proof? Probably I would tell him to come back in a less inebriated state.
 
Combat-wombat,

You're right. Indeed, there are no known long-term dangers from using marijuana--except maybe weight gain from overeating Doritos. Short-term, there are plenty of dangers from impaired reaction time of course.

Obligatory disclaimer: I've never used the stuff myself, and don't see any point in it. But the fact remains that it's less dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes.
 
This may sound crazy ... but not every person you might think is stoned really is.
Indeed! And some people you think aren't, are. :D

When I was at Brown, I worked as a janitor with other work-study students. For two years, we had a blast--they were the funniest, most down-to-earth bunch at Brown. It was near the end of my senior year that I learned I was basically the only one who wasn't stoned every night. At first I was disappointed in them, but then I wondered what it said about me. I still wonder.

If this happened at a range or somewhere that the person was going to actually be shooting near you, then it may be of your concern. Noone can say what someone else may do while under the influence. Personally I feel that every drug out there, illegal or not causes more impairment/lack of mental ability and reasoning than smoking pot. I am glad that it seems so many of you understand this.
As far as looking stoned, anyone can look it. I have problems with my eyes all the time where they look puffy and red and it has nothing to do with weed.
As far as drugfree.org, they are the worst spreaders of propoganda there is. I'm tired of all their commercials targeted at children, pouring out misinformation. If you want to see a good documentary that tells the real story check out "Hooked:Illegal drugs and how they got that way" on the History channel. They play it every couple of months. http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=70805
