Pot Vending machines. YEAH!
Tell your doc that you have a hard time sleeping, he\'ll write you a prescription for 3 ounces of joy and you are set.

I wouldn\'t say its very private. Instead of just the pharmacist knowing what you picked up, now anyone who sees you at the machine will know you\'re on the stuff. And its not like a snack machine. This pretty much stands out.

"You have kids that want to get high and that\'s not what marijuana is for,"
thats the greatest quote i\'ve ever read

California is on the cutting edge once again.
When are you rednecks gonna catch up?

MJ is good. It\'s a cancer fighter. It makes you feel good. It\'s not addictive. You can make clothes out of it. It\'s a fucking weed and can grow anywhere and doesn\'t need insecticides.

it\'s also the gateway drug

That has been disproven over and over again.

You can say what you want, I\'ve witnessed it over and over. I don\'t care that people do it and I\'m around it every other day but to act like it\'s not a gateway drug is foolish.

Me and my friends did it and none of us felt the need to try other drugs.

Boy you guys must be indicative of everyone.....

I smoked for awhile then jumped to coke. Found out coke\'s a rich man\'s drug so I went back to weed. I don\'t see why it\'s such a big deal; I smoke, I get redeyes/increased hunger, cough here and there, maybe the occasional burnt finger(s); when I\'m done, I sit down, watch tv/movie/or play a game, I eat, I drink(cotton mouth is a bitch) and eventually fall asleep. Oh well though, most of you know that I do but I\'m not gonna go to some vending machine and buy it. I\'ll just call up "dude", give him money, he goes and gets it, drops it off to me, and that\'s all.

I\'ve tried it,...but i never thought of movin\' on to coke... i guess because i\'m one of the few that doesn\'t really like how weed makes me feel... it just makes me feel heavy... give me a shot of tequila and a corona any day over that!.:fro:....that said tho,..i do believe that most drug heads have started off from weed and have moved on to the heavier stuff from there....i\'ve never really heard of people just jumping into cocaine from the jump....the majority of the time it\'s starts from weed....and i don\'t agree with this machine bein out in the open like that....i know it\'s in a herbal store and whatever,...but when i think of weed i still think of it as an illegal drug, and for folk to just casually come up and purchase it just seems like the gov\'t and the powers that be are contradicting themselves all over the place...

Gateway drug? :laughing: So\'s alcohol, cigarettes, college, high school, older brothers/relatives, movies, TV shows...etc.

We\'ve already been through this \'gateway drug\' discussion 3 years ago. Just read this thread and stop mentioning it.
I don\'t feel like rehashing everything.

it depends on the person. I\'ve smoked, but i dont have an addictive personality, so iv never done anything more than MJ..i did salvia once but thats a long story.
But iv had many friends that started with MJ and went to shrooms, etc, etc..so to those people, for the most part they start with weed and go up..so for them it is a gateway drug

it can\'t be "disproven" or "proven".
you need a control group for a test, and how many drug users hop right into the heavy stuff without messing around with pot?
aside from alcohol, pot is the starter drug for teenagers.
most stop there. other don\'t and want a larger high.
pot is one of the cheaper/more available drugs.

I betcha they have snack vending machines next to the pot machines.
COINCIDENCE?
I think NAWT!

Which is why pot can be seen as the gateway drug. Its easy for teenagers to get. You just have to know someone which isn\'t that hard. Its relatively cheap (not for me though. 20 dollars for a day\'s high is a bit on the high side). Now if coke was that easy to get, that would be seen as the gateway drug.
