Understood. I'll correct say that I've used illegal drugs once in my life.

That's extraordinary. I went through a drinking phase and a pot phase.
Now I drink a little, but I developed a strong adversion to liquor.

I tried pot once when I was 16. I didn't do it anymore because A. I
didn't like it

How many people got high the first time they smoked?
All you liars can put your hand down.
Your as FOS as Clinton.

B. I was a "good kid"

since gone astray...

and it didn't fit with the rest
of my life, and C. An arrest for pot at that time ruined people's lives.

What state and when?



A big month of drinking for me is two in a month. I'm pretty boring that
way.

Homeless drunks are far less of a burden on society than homeless crack
addicts.

Probably true.

Is that why they opened a trial home for the homeless drunks where
they let them drink?

http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/l...ory/90624.html

The whole premise is that it was far cheaper than
the 3 trips a week to the emergency room.
Crackheads can't find the hospital and aren't nearly so
numerous.

Interesting. One step at a time, I suppose.

Well, except she didn't state that she got high, she said

"I tried pot once when I was 16. I didn't do it anymore because
A. I didn't like it"

Which is a completely legitimate statement. Maybe she simply didn't like
the smell, the taste, didn't like inhaling smoke.

And maybe, just maybe, she did get high and didn't like it.

Who would without persisting long enough to experience a buzz?

People who are silly enough to claim they tried pot once
are too silly to understand that once isn't really trying it.

And maybe, just maybe, she did get high and didn't like it.

Yeah... a Reefer Madness experience on her first toke.
Insert the sarcastic valley girl "I'm sure" here.

I believe you tried to smoke pot, couldn't choke it down

Anyway in '72 Ca. passed the "drug diversion program"
allowing first offenders to have all charges dismissed
in exchange for a drug treatment/education program
which was about as tough as traffic school.
In '75 they decriminalized small time possession completely.

We were told that
such a thing would affect college acceptance, scholarships, etc.

Another Reefer Madness victim. Do you know who made that movie btw?

I'd have duplicated the filters on alt.test and performed a test
post
there. If the result worked but still failed on RAO, the RAO filter
is
obviously corrupted and needed to be reset.

This
is obviously so important to you; show me the way.

You came from a family of prudes who would banish
you for drug use but accepted your sexual orientation?
Kind of an odd mix.

You're a bit

Just a few years. Your implicationt that the whole nation
sufferred your families social paranoia in the 70's is really
a hoot. Did you go to private school or perhaps a convent?

But true.

What you were told is true or that
you were truly told a lie?
Try to be clear.

Yes

Probably explains your disdain for evangelicals.
They stole your youth with lies and fear of
social recrimination.
