I used to be a camp counselor, and the first night of every session, we told the kids in our cabins the list of contraband--booze, smokes, drugs, fireworks (for the boys). We'd give them this list and then we said, "If you have anything that you shouldn't have [the counselors] are going to a meeting, and while we're gone, you can leave it anonymously on our beds and we won't tell, and you won't get in trouble."
Judge Judy and Tracie are hitting ultra mind-meld mode and putting their rings together and saving Captain Planet or something. JUDGE JUDY vs POT PSYCHOLOGY? Yes. I see this happening. Please.
Nice try, buddy. As someone who has chronic pain and an allergy to anti-inflammatories, even I don't buy it. I am definitely of the belief that marijuana should be legal, but it's guys like this that are bringing the argument down. If you do it just to get high at least admit it. I think more of people who just admit that they just want to get high than those who hide behind an exaggerated medical reason. The fact that he surfs, a very strenuous activity, tells me that his pain can't be that bad.
I wanted to crawl under my seat when that guy was talking about his injury. You can tell that even he heard how silly he sounded. Cringe-worthy.
Although, as someone with chronic pain, I also felt sympathy for him. I believe that he has pain. I'm just not so sure he needs the marijuana to treat it, when there are alternatives. (Judy brought up a good point - I really hope he never gets high and surfs, although I'm sure people do it all the time.)
@LovelyHue: Well, marijuana sounds like a better alternative to me than prescription painkillers, frankly. Both in terms of safety (can't OD on marijuana) and addiction issues.
@LovelyHue: I didn't always think marijuana should be legal, until I was diagnosed with lupus 3 years ago. Every day, every joint I own just aches and aches, and I can't keep taking ibuprofen or my stomach lining will erode. Pot would do wonders for me without giving me a GI bleed.
This is why marijuana should be legal - so people don't have to attempt to explain with a straight face that they need it for their 15 year old neck injury.
Well, I think everything is better with a bag of Hugo Chavez and I really don't know where I thought I was going with this joke. I think I need a cutscene.
@stacyinbean: Sure. Chavez finds the rest of it pretty funny. He only wants them to stop broadcasting so everyone will have to come over to his house to watch.
I saw Whitney perform in the late 90's and it was amazing. Probably one of the best shows I have or will ever see. Two and a half hours of pure talent and this was during the height of her drug use. I think she can come back, but she needs to really work on it.
@ArtfulSlinger: I find it interesting how she sort of skims over her participation in the emotional and physical abuse that took place. This does not seem like a woman who would have willingly walked into such a relationship and she appears to be aware of how wrong everything went down was.
TMZ recently caught up with Debra Wilson from MAD TV. She used to do a really great Whitney impression back in the day, and she spontaneously gave the paps a little show right there on the sidewalk. It was hilarious. She still does a great Whitney impression.
Okay, first of all, she was smoking crack. The rocks are clearly visible in the "Whitney's Drug Den" photos that ran in the Enquirer.
Second, when is this woman going to come out of the closet? (See: affairs with women during crack binges (Enquirer article), though I doubt the drugs made her do it.) That marriage to Bobby Brown was a sham gone bad. There have also been ongoing rumors (since the early 90's) of her having an affair with her longtime friend and personal assistant, Robin Crawford.

And then we used whatever we got.
The end!
