You may be intellectually right. I just don't know, and i presume correctness.

But, the point is that real people go thru real rehab. And the rehab centers ENABLE TOBACCO. I think it is wrong. But, That is what is really happening on the ground floor, on the streets, whatever. That is my experience. I don't smoke tobacco.

I was mad that my MJ was banned and their tobacoo was OK.

It is soooo not surprising that a CO dependent would a smoker. Shit, after enough AA meetings I would have become a tabacoo smoker too for the first time in my life at 50 yo old.

There's no such thing as CO dependency. Carbon monoxide is merely a poison. Your body would prefer to have none of it. There's no rehab issue here, get this rehab issue out of it.

Again, I have to admit to ignorance.

What I am saying is that people with CO dependency to thru these Rehab programs that Enable Tobacco. And that is wrong. Are you at all with me?

Self Appointed, Court Order, or whatever. The system ENABLES tobacco. It is fucking wrong, but that is what people really go thru. People go thru IRL programs. And that is what programs do.

Please ask more questions if you are at all confused about In-Real-Life programs.

LOL! How funny! Yup, cigarettes contain CO. I'm not dependent on CO, however. I like a little nicotine high now and then. I smoke a couple of packs a week for a total of $8.00/week. Yes, beleive or not, American Spirits are only $4.00/pack - OK, $4.10/pack here in Colorado.

I find it amusing that two heavy dopers want to jump my case about my two pack a week cigarette habit. Pot kills more brain cells than ever cigarettes do, and it does a worse number on the lungs, as well.

You boys need to get a life! :lol:

OK, Mari, now I pull my guns from my holsters... I go with the Herd Mentality here. Any weak brain cells that die, make the herd stronger. Ra!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! My comments weren't directed at you, rather LJ and UT who are pretty well known to be heavy smokers of non tobacco products. I actually have no problem with people who like to relax every now and then with a little MJ. A number of my friends are into it. I just think its funny that two heavy pot smokers should jump my case about cigarette smoking when pot is just as damaging. Yeah, let only the strongest brain cells survive! ;)

I think shaving my beard gave me a more professonal look for jobs, even in the Silicon Valley.

Today's Emos strung out on meth are skinny and deathly looking. Us old Pot Heads have a belly from 'the munchies'. At least we don't waste away. Keep on truckin'.

My 16 yo daughter is on alert for meth guys. She's been friends with some losers in the past. All these guys triy to brown-nose the sexy girl's dad. I can sniff out the false guys right away now.

Her current 17 yo bf is actually quite the gentleman. But, I'm still scared about the fact that he just got his drivers license and a car. They were dating via train before that. He still can't drive minors yet. So, he drives to our house and they walk around town together.

Double edge sword. The longer they date, I fear, the more he will want. It was somewhat better when she changed bfs often.

rkzenrage 04-28-2006 01:47 AM

I hear ya'... my son is two. When he is old enough to date I will have a tracking bracelet with gps on it!

Sun_Sparkz 04-28-2006 03:28 AM

17 and your worried about him wanting more??? Pfft that happened when she was 14 honey!!
