Other Smokin, drinkin, pill popin while riding thread!

[sjetrider]

Great thread. It blows my mind how some can toke and ride really. I dont toke, but have tried it (two tokes) and was rendered WORTHLESS near instantly. Sitting on a couch laughing at the drunk peeps. Not interacting AT ALL but laughing and grinning uncontrolably for 2 hrs.. The tolorance level of those that do toke blows my mind. I have freinds that could not and would not ride or attempt anything without being BAKED. I see no danger to me as long as I know they are baked so no worries. Drunk and riding, No freakn way will I be anywhere near them while riding. Thats when you take to the bank and watch the carnage. Good show mates!
I do think the toke impares judgement to the point where that person may do something they would normally see fear in. But over all functioning I beleive is hindered. I often think how awesome a buddy of mine would ride if he were not baked.
Immediate focus on a single thing may be improved right that SECOND, but long term focus and goals are very much hindered by the green stuff IMO.
Once it becomes your norm however you will never see past it to see what could be.
Shake and Bake guys its all good for some. Just not for me.

I used to be a big pot smoker in my late teens, now when I do it, which is maybe once a year I get all paranoid and think theres people trying to break in or something, lol, so I couldnt imagine riding like that, and anytime im at the beach you can usually find me with a beer in my hand UNLESS im riding, I tried riding once after just 2 beers and had almost no balance at all, I already ride like so it definetely makes it worse, thats the one thing I really enjoy about riding stand ups, I dont even think about drinking beer or anything like that until im done. I guess alot of people just handle it differently, I can definetely function better after drinking 10 beers than after one joint, I dont know what changed from my late teens until now, but thats just how it is for me.

How terrified are we as a nation of pot? What did we learn from outlawing alcohol in the united states?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
- c.s. Lewis

Some people are barely tolerable sober. And some people claim to be "sober" but are really whack in some extremist way. I don't really care if you like to hurt yourself, long as you don't directly hurt others, carry on.

i dont think pot makes balls bigger, i think it shrinks them. stoners arent more brave, they are more calm. thats why i think pot is has a negative effect on adrenalin based sports, where concentration AND split second reaction time are necessary. if the boat is throwing a 3' wake, the stones sees it as a 5'er

Buzzard...in the interest of stirring the pot i disagree, anyone remember Ross Rebagliati..the canadian snowboarder who won the gold medal and tested positive for pot..didnt seem to slow him down any now did it ;-)
heck they even changed the olympic rules regarding pot use after this.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...iati-olympics-marijuana-drug-testing/2528283/

this whole south parks style "drugs are bad uhm-kay" mentality is ridiculous..ya some drugs are bad..but so is all gmo foods, mc-d's etc etc etc its all about being responsible and moderation.. i know plenty of very highly functional potheads..i was one myself, now that i have a career in aviation it was an easy decision..loose my career for failing a drug test or lay off the pot..pot doesnt pay my mortgage so i chose an income.

some are useless couch surfers, some you;d never know had smoked a joint.

in my life time i have met significantly more drunken idiots than pot smokers.no one ever smoked pot and went home to beat the snot out of their so called loved ones..
and even booze...look what prohabition did..heck it MADE mobsters. but booze is big business with big money to lobby with so we see it advertised everywhere..how many drinking and driving deaths are there??

anyway getting sidetracked here is my personal take on it.. i dont drink and drive ANYTHING..not even a sailboat.. nor do i want to be near anyone who does because one day..it'll directly affect me..drinking after the day sitting by the campfire..abso-fawken-lutely!!
do i give a damn about guys smoking up..heck no

i'd also like to point out that my views in regards to pot are just that..views in regards to pot..thats where i draw the line..all other "hard" drugs i want nothing to do with and i think are a scurge on society.

that being said...how many people are hopped up on prescription meds and thats deemed "ok" by society?? what hypocrisy!!
i've seen guys on percocets, guys on oxycontin guys pumped full of T3's etc etc etc..and no one would blink and eye because it got prescribed by doctors..those same guys think potheads are losers and problems to society..talk about pot calling the kettle black.

personally...lately i've been diagnosed with "OLD" and usually end the day with some ibu and robaxacet lol

again...just stirring the pot,.pun intended

 

[hugh jair]

and..just to drive the point home.

Can anyone REALLY say that pot does nothing over time to the minds of long term users? Can you honestly tell me your short term memory as a pot smoker is equal to mine? Can you really tell me that smoking pot soes not damage your lungs like cigarette smoke? Can you tell me your ability to plan an agenda and stick to it long term is as good as a non pot smoker? Can you tell me it does not effect your motivation for even the smallest and most simple tasks? I call BS if you do. I have nothing against pot smokers at all, many of my freinds are and I promise they are great guys without any intent of wrong doing at all. I have no issues with ANY POT smokers period and making it legal is absolutely FINE with me. But if my son starts doing it I will kick his freakn AZZ because I DO CARE about his personal well being be it mentally or physically and eventually monitarily.

Bottom line is that regular pot smokers have long term effects, the great news it does not effect me so far as I can tell. Crack users are another story, when they run out they have the rabbid ambition and motivation to steel, rob and kill for what they need.

 

[Freakrider]

Just say no to drugs when operating anything but your penis.

 

[MCrider]

^^^ Exactly if you want to smoke pot or get drunk that's fine just wait till your done riding.

 

[TheBuzzard]

hugh air, you can disagree all you want, but your boy, the snow boarder falls under the category of HAS ALWAYS SMOKED AND BEEN HIGH. are you going to try and tell me, that if he quit smoking, he would get worse at his sport? some guys have abilities way above and beyond ours and can be wasted and still out perform the rest of us. no smokers reaction time and brain function are higher because they do smoke. its BS and a lame theory. pot is not a stimulant that sharpens senses.

 

[TheBuzzard]

Mark youve watched me flip a 1000 times stoned as, lol. A few sloppy ass rolls too!

josh "i was doing some huge flips".
the buzzard "the biggest thing i saw was that swisher sweet you gutted like a fish and stuffed with bush"

i ride with some hard partying jetskiers. at some gatherings, the only thing missing is the tire fire. bottles of whiskey being passed around , pills , smoke. thankfully they usually are on the beach for a couple hours after that before they go for a gas wasting ride.

[hugh jair]

Buzzard, i dont disagree with you like i said starting my post was just stirring the pot by making a counter point...do i believe that pot actually makes you better,stronger, faster..like steve austin..not a hope in hell.
I have never claimed that pot is a stimulant or performance enhancer...quite the contrary..i'd say he should get a second medal just for winning the first one while baked ;-)
that being said i also dont think it automatically makes you worse.. however with alcohol its an absolute certainty that your reaction time and balance are affected.

take your own example , a guy with pure natural ability, he gets baked..and still schools everyone around him..take that same guy get him drunk..good luck producing the same results.

the OP was asking about smoking drinking pill popping and ridding..the answer, from my end of things is i stay the fawk away from drunks on the water or the roads, im not a big fan of heavily medicated prescription drug users in the same situation and pot smokers i have a take it or leave it attitude but i dont feel like my personal safety is threatened by that group.

the rest was purely to create discussion..hope that clears it up?

 

[fastgtfairlane]

those of you that are such anti pot activists, i recommend you watch " the union" the business behind getting high" on netflix.. lets not forget how legal pot used to be until right around ww2... pot is simply a medication that the gubbment considers illegal but we all know how hypocritical they all are.. just like drinking or anything else, take too much and you will not function properly.. the real truth about greenery and its benefits are slowly but surely starting to come out... if you dont like it, good im glad, just more for me to enjoy..

sure, it can have occasional side effects just like anything else.. more often than not its because you had too much or maybe toked on an empty stomach etc... id much rather smoke green for my pain or anxiety or depression than take what synthetic medication im perscribed by a doctor who is getting back end money to sell these pills that are truely poison.. at least i know where my greenery came from.. deny it if you want to i could give a rats ass..

now watch "the union" you just might learn something...... unless youre one of those that is tooo righteous to admit to being wrong about something..

 

[fastgtfairlane]

maybe if you put a seed in dirt and grow some dirt quality weed, it would be as close to healthy as you can get. but with all the high tech hydro indoor crap that sucks up all those chemicals to grow, its gotta be all bad.medicinal purposes only and not to be used when operating anything but the joy stick on some play station BS tv game.

haha are you a botanist?? have you ever grown anything vegetable or plant wise?? the hydro is the way to go.. ever been in a hydroponics store and seen what they have there?? obviously not, hyrdroponics is one of the best ways to grow anything not just greenery, people use it for vegetables of all sorts.. one of the biggest benefits of hydro is no bugs! they cant nest in the water because they need soil.. indoor really is the most efficient way, controlled lighting, room air, ph'd water.. and its wayyyyyyyy faster to grow.. if you really think people cant function after a toke, you must have never tried it yourself.. im also not talking smoking a huge blunt and expecting to go ride or do anything. im talking a puff or two of some good quality green.. again, not having too much is key..

im just curious why are you soo against something soo incredible??

[fastgtfairlane]

Meanwhile greenery is all naturally grown and proven non harmful to our bodies.

And if you're going to say "I've never heard of somebody dying due to marijuana" well I've never heard of somebody dying due to cigarettes, it always seems to be the DAMN lung cancer.

dude, who cares? i'm talking about intoxicated while riding and trying to be at peak performance levels at all times behind the bars , so your abilities improve and you up your game. i guess if you ride a 440, your game has nowhere to go but up. like i said before, i could get wasted and ride a beater 440 about as good as i see the beaters being ridden. if that level of riding is good enough for you, good for you. i want to have nothing but adrenalin flowing thru my veins when i'm behind the bars of my 800 , 1000 or 1200cc beasts.

 

[circafwsk8r]

i never seen so many STIFFS in one place in my life. you can buy adrenaline buzzard. its a drug. Also when you die its a proven fact that DMT is released in your body. NOW IM GONA STIR UP THE RELIGOUS CROWD HERE BUTTT........... some say thats were the idea of angels n such come from is people who have died and were medically brought back to life. DMT is euphoric and a major OBE. Sorry guys drugs are everywhere and alcohol was once illegal and still should be. Put a bunch of people in a room with booz! put a bunch of people in a room with marijuana and see the results.
