Too many negatives? So drinking doesn't cause irresponsibility, immaturity, and ignorance? Looking at one side of the fence doesn't state a proper opinion. It's slowly becoming legal, and has been proven; a variety of different strands to help people. There are strands of cannabis that help with pain, PMS, depression, anxiety, and other health issues. It doesn't ruin your liver, and smoking out of a vaporizer is "healthier" than smoking cigs. "Cannabis vaporizers are designed to let users inhale active cannabinoids while avoiding harmful smoke toxins. They do so by heating cannabis to a temperature of 180 - 200° C (356° - 392° F), just below the point of combustion where smoke is produced. At this point, THC and other medically active cannabinoids are emitted with little or none of the carcinogenic tars and noxious gases found in smoke." There are plenty of ways to make it better to ingest to get the THC. I also don't think there is a rehab for pot smoking, but there is for alcohol. Imagine that. But cigs are legal too right? Just because it is illegal doesn't mean a thing. Liquor is legal, cigarettes are legal, big deal. If you are too immature to do something responsively that is your own fault. Jay walking is illegal too, but I'm sure you do that from time to time, right? And you are probably wondering, "Oh you're just a biased pot smoker." Actually I don't really smoke, I mostly just have a drink instead. If Ganja stayed in your system as long as beer did, or even cocaine (3 days) I MIGHT do it more often, sure. But, I am starting a career soon and there is no need for it to interfere. Gee, imagine that, an ex-pot smoker is mature. I just thought I had to chime in as well





Moving on....


Hobbies:




(no it's not me)

Other things, fixing up cars, talking about cars, buying car parts, music, etc.

 

I miss playing ice hockey. I haven't done that in a long time. I'm fat and out of shape now.

 

Let's see more pics..

 

Aside from my work which consumes nearly all of my life (surgery resident), I deal with some of the less glorious things in life such as foreign body removals:



I have the other following hobbies which are much more pleasant:

Drums: Got myself an acoustic set, which is still out in my home state of CA, and an electric one which affords me the ability to drum at 2am if I desire.




Saltwater Aquarium: Have a 170 gallon which i've kept up and running since Sept 2009!




Charcoal Portraits - got into this in high school, and I try to bang one out every now and then. The first one is my wife, and the second, well it should be obvious...

 

looking at this forum makes me miss a lot of the things I used to do, mainly skateboarding, but also stuff like going shooting with friends and airsoft (more or less the the last two, I do that for real now lol!) but I might pick up skating again when I move to Okinawa, there are some good parks that are close to the base. I stopped skateboarding about the time I started working out with the Marines so I'm not used to being so top heavy.

 

planar speakers are the best!

 

Computers and bourbon. I'm pretty easy to please.

 

Got a few:
1) Traditional Shaving. Just invested a couple hundred bucks on a shaving set that will probably last me for a lifetime. Got enough soap/replacement blades to last a few years too. I'm too young to remember anyone using this stuff but it makes me pretty nostalgic. My setup consists of a Gillette "Slim" or a Feather Popular and Derby/Feather blades. A puck of DR Harris Arlington and a Simpson Commodore and Semogue 610 make my fresh lather.

2) Fountain Pens. I just got a Mont Blanc Starwalker from the +1 during Christmas, and I have a Pilot Vanishing Point, Lamy CP1, and a couple of Esterbrook Js. I use Noodlers Borealis Black ink as well as the Mont Blanc cartridges.

Between those two hobbies, my girlfriend, and the car...well you can see why I'm pretty broke all the time.

Thinking about picking up some vinyl wrap, headlights, and some sandpaper... hmm
