Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Fifty Years of Smoking Dope

might be doing a "reverse mortgage", living off the value of the house his parents gave him. sad.

Apparently that guy was Elon Musk....and neither are you!

He sure looks happy. Prolly the trips to visit Epstein.

This will be an interesting thread.

The guy now suffers from depression, anxiety, has no home owners insurance and now he has a reverse mortgage...... of course this is just page three.....

You of all people should be smoking pot... should help you back away from your conspiracy videos... or at least help you laugh at them like most normal people.

lol, yes, lots of people left to weigh in

Not all losers smoke dope.
But the wake and bake crowd are almost always losers.
Then theres the semi functional stoner.....that turns 50or 60 and cracks mentally.

Seen a few do that. There is a long term effect IMHO.
And that from old weed.

Not the new thumper chit being smoked today.

Moderation in all things is key

Are you talking about me? If so your assertions are absurd. I didn't say anything that was judgmental. I just stated the facts.
What did I say that was stupid?

I didn't make any remark as to whether I favor pot smoking or not, so it is you who are judgmental. In fact, newbie, in previous posts I have repeatedly stated that I favor legalization of pot.

Well, "Normative ethics"
The damage he has done is imaginary according to some people on here and isn't anyone else's business (not even his parents). Society has no interest in a better outcome for this person or his family. Free will, liberty, freedom, blah, blah, blah.

No facts, just hearsay...

Why don't you go knock on the door and talk to the guy, you may be surprised by what you find.

I know many people who smoked pot as teenagers that are successful just about any way you want to measure it. Some of them still do. I don’t smoke pot now but smoked my fair share in the 70’s. I also believe pot should be legalized or alcohol should be against the law. I’d also rather encounter another driver who’s smoked some weed than I would someone who’s been drinking.

Yup.

The pothead chorus will chime in here soon chanting "but booze is worse".

Roosevelt and Churchill were both drunks and still managed to defeat Hitler while most stoners can barely manage to tie their shoelaces.

The same thing happened to my parents home. They don't smoke weed.
After my Dad retired he would just make excuses for not fixing stuff. I would offer to help him and argue with him about it but he was stubborn. He did not have his roof replaced for 30 years even though it was covered by insurance. He was proud of removing the gutters because he said they were too much trouble to remove the leaves. As a result his insurance refused to cover the resulting damage to the ceilings (and most of the downspouts could be reached with just a stepstool!). Mouse problems, leaking pipes, fire danger from dead wood in trees. He hated when I would come fix stuff because he felt obligated to participate. He will sit and watch CNN until the same stories come around again and again. He was never like that when he was younger.

I'm not defending the use of weed in any way. Sometimes it is hard to say what causes someone to just let go of responsibilities.

Agree. There is more going on there then weed.

And the 24 isn’t the place to properly diagnose it.

Conspiracy theories, like the Trump/Ruskie collusiin crap your heros Hillary and the DNC had made up? Ha.
You and others, like your bud in the pic, have good reason to hate Trump. They hate him out of fear.

They should be fearing HIM and their bud who runs Hell.

Smoke some more pot. It seems that and BS is about all you've got.

And Hitler was a dope addict. Started out with prescrribed drugs andended up a meth addict. Almost non-functional, physically and mentally, the last year of his life.

Gateway drugs should not be permitted. Today, one of these is pot. We know that pot permanently reduces brain development for those under 25.

Hell it motivated me

The more I worked, the more I could smoke,
That motivated me to work even harder and sell even more technical, higher priced jobs.

Then I could smoke the really good shît.

toothbrush, visine, shot of Listerine, splash of Dolce n Gabbana, spare white dress shirt, Clark Kent double life...

I was a STEM major, finished my BS while being a contractor, made the dean’s list every semester.


Your bud just wasn’t wired for the Dope Show or could be a totally unrelated issue. Maybe the guy is on the Austism spectrum. That seems to be everyone’s go to excuse as of late.

I have a friend that could uncannily fit this guys description.

He has so much family money he could use it for firewood.

He don't work and pretty much never has..there was just never the need.

People that don't know him but "know of him" talk a lot of schit.

He resides alone on his families water front estate, which by far is not in the pristine condition it once was.

Many claim he has squandered through most his assets.
He parties too much and knows it, you might see him washing down a hit of pot with a rum and coke most any hour of the day.

The reason people don't really know much about him is due to him not claiming fame or recognition for the things he does.
I wouldn't know what I do, which is little, if I didn't drop in on him from time to time.

I've seen numerous paper tagged used vehicles at his place over the years, I've asked him about a few and every time it's been a rig he had purchased because it was a good deal and he had plans to give it to people that needed it.

A couple times over the years he has called me to go take care of his mutts because he was stuck at the hospital where he'd hauled someone in that needed a ride and someone to sign them in that could foot the bill.

I know he paid 30k for a guys cancer operation after his medical bills drove him broke, I only know this due to the guy having the treatment telling me.

People don't know this stuff, but they talk schit about him anyway, schit they don't know, just schit they hear second hand getting tossed about.

He and I go out to dinner maybe once a month on the average, last time we were out our conversation turned to wealth management firms, we both use them.

It was the first time I ever heard him complain about anything.
Seems he thinks paying 500K a year for two different firms to deal with his finances is too much.

I don't think he has quite yet squandered though his inherited wealth, yet he lives a simple life in a home that has needed a paint job and the lawn mowed for years.

Agreed, but I’ve seen it before, star athlete, smart, handsome in HS,whole world appeared to be laid at their feet. And then when they take the next step, life gets harder. Perhaps for the first time in their life they have to really work at something

And it’s just too hard for some.

I experienced some of that. Fortunately I had to work hard at the athletic part, plus I grew up on a farm. Most farm kids know a lil sumpthin bout working hard. Still going from BOMC to just a broke swinging dick was a bit of a comeuppance


Charlie’s probs weren’t his drug of choice


Same can be said for many alcoholics
