What an idiot. He's bragging about how he's supposedly hurt just to get his fix.

You know, Oxycontin is just as great, and you can get a prescription WAY easier than legal pot. ALOT EASIER! Darvocet works too.

And let's not forget Vicodin.

hey now brokenwings. pot is not addictive physically while oxy will give you withdrawls after a weeks use.

f***ing trust me. pot is the closest to a safe "drug" you will find. its barely a f***ing drug at all.

I was just implying that the rest of us who have to get it illegally have an easier time getting Oxy or Darvo.

Ciggarettes have a better chance of killing you than pot.

But pot puts you on a trip, not really coherent, so your actions may kill you.

Rather than be a skeptic a$$hole, i'm going to politely assume that post was not Shavo. I imagine he's quite the busy bee right now....If it is infact him more power to him for finding the time to come here. The odds of him coming here are about the same as getting hit by lightning.....I have been hit by lightning....directly, not a near miss.......so his odds of stopping here are probably better than my odds of being struck again but still.......Also the delay wasnt due to song tweaking from what I've gathered but system have a perfectionists mentality.....I need to go to bed....Im thinking about this too much........

I have never heard of anyone killing themselves on a Marijuana "trip". Thats the biggest load of sh** I've ever heard. Acid or mushrooms maybe, but not ganja. I've been smoking for a while now and have found that it relaxes you. The only way you could die from this is maybe by some freak accident in your sleep or if you're some dumbass who drives around stoned and can't handle it.

Marijuana is one of the only drugs you can't become chemically dependent on and unless the sh** you guys smoke is laced you shouldn't be tripping or running into sh** like retards.Oh yeah and if anything it will make you drive slower and more cautiously. All I'm saying is don't knock it till you smoke it. light it up and watch it go

Amri Indonesia is right. It messes with your life.

Do you ever read about the intoxicated people(who happened to be high) ram their vehicles into a tree or fly off an overpass? I know, most drivers are killed by drunk drivers, but quite a few die from being too stoned.

pot makes u more cautious but your reflexes go to sh**..so in the end your'e still handicapping yourself a little bit when u drive.......I know cus i spent 2 years of my life stoned.

2 of my best friends STILL do, their going on something like 8 years now, and their only looking worse for wear......one is bloated to beyond reasonable health, and the other is an emaciated pale shell of his former girl nabbing self, his last ex told me he couldnt get it up for her and she was a bacardi girl (see also "hot") at this bar where I would go see shows.

Fortunately pot isnt quite as psychotic as say pcp (the other white meat) or deadly as heroin(besides famous musicians i know 2 casualties personally of that drug) or erratic as Lsd (i knew a kid who can only use his legs to 30% of their normal functionality from that sh**) he used to work as an ems driver now he just sits at home with bipolar sisters and hellion little brother with ADHD.

so if your doing pot and nothing else, good for you....you may dye of something less unussual than other kinds of junkies. but your not doing yourself any favors by turning your lungs black and making your brain into honey glaze.

as for gold and multiplatinum recording artists....more power to em, so long as their performances dont start lagging as can happen with even good ol reliable booze.....then they are exempt from this lecture.

31. brokenwings13 writes:

Tendonitis isn't a serious injury unlike breaking your leg or something of the like. I don't see how he could've gotten weed for it.

AND ANOTHER THING! Read this part again......

"I get it prescribed. I told my doctor that I get a little tendonitis in my leg," Shavo explained. "So he writes me a prescription for marijuana and they hand it over. It's fu**ing great!"

He gets a "little tendonitis"? Go take a f**king tylenol! Anyway....

His whole statement there says he's not hurt.

"So he writes me a prescription for marijuana and they hand it over. It's fu**ing great!"
isn't something you should say. It's just like faking a mental illness and depression for Zoloft. It doesn't work. The statement logically doesn't add up.

I stopped along time ago because it began to f*** with my better judgement.However that's just me.If it work's for you then use it.I believe that Weed and Prostitution should both be legal simply because this is money you can tax the hell out of instead of sticking it to the Poor while simultaneously giving tax break's to the Rich who by the way don't need them.Chris Rock saide it best the reason the U.S. won't legalize weed or Cocaine is because the best Weed and Cocaine is not grown in the U.S.

I love weed.If anything, it enhances me rather than f*** me up.I just aced my last math test that I took high.I think I would have done worse had I been sober.I prefer not to drive stoned, but I have no choice sometimes.Its not my driving that worries me, its the fear of getting pulled over by one of what seems to be 1,000 cops around here.My driving is fine, if anything, its better.Its fun too.Feels like a damn roller coaster.Either way, I dont really want to continue being a pothead for much longer.4 years is enough.
