Tresspassing

[banderson]

Fixed! One can overdose from almost every non-prescription drug available.Cannabis is quite possibly one of the safest, substances on earth.Don't blame the substance because of the negative issues that derive from it's prohibition and non-regulation.

never had any kind of morning sickness from it, but that wouldn't be anything like a HANGOVER WOULD it? lol two things about that second article- one- most people wouldn't be smoking a joint every time a cigarette user would be having the equivalent.two- there is more than one way to consume cannabis. edibles, vaporizers, etc. speaking of which, I forgot I've got a potent brownie in the freezer You

I do it. If they don't like it they throw me out. If it looks like they will shoot at me, I don't.

See, that's the thing. Laws vary by state, and sometimes quite a bit. In Texas, Criminal Tresspassing during the nightime is an offense where lethal force is authorized. It is specificially mentioned in the deadly force statutes. No need to warn, no need to fire a warning shot, no need to ask that person to leave. It truly is a shoot first and ask questions later type of law. And you know what, as a property owner in Texas, I fully support that law.

See, the thing is, if you come around my house poking around, I'm not going to ask you to leave. I probably won't even let you know you are about to get shot.

See, I grew up different than you yank's up North. If I wanted to fish in a neighbor's pond or use somebody else's property, I asked permission, promised not to leave any trash, and promised not to disturb the livestock. If you didn't leave the area better than you found it and if you didn't ask permission, you weren't welcome back. We knew that at 8 years old.

Hard to believe that a bunch of adults can't understand the same thing.

Sounds to me like we got some folks here that were raised up as youngun's by responsible, sensible people. Why I would bet that they have even hear of this fella called Jerry Clower.

You’re Fixin’ To Mess Up”

“Just recently I had the privilege of doing a show at Samford University in Birmingham, [Alabama]. Some of the young people there said, ‘Mr. Clower, what’s right and wrong?’ Tell us, we’re young people, tell us, what’s right and wrong.
Well you ask a pretty good question. So I worked me up a rule of thumb I’d like to recommend to my own children, and to young people.



If you’re fixin’ to make a decision about what’s right and what’s wrong in your life, do you ask other people’s opinion about it? That’s a pretty good indication your fixin’ to mess up. I was getting ready for a date one night when I was a little ole boy. And I walked into the side room and I said, ‘Mama, is my shirt dirty?’ She said, ‘Son, if you’re in doubt, it’s dirty. Pull it off and getcha another.’ So if you’re fixin’ to do something, and you want to know if it’s right or not, number one: do you ask other people’s opinion about it?



Number two: do you argue with yourself? Man, I have spent a million mile on the highway arguing with Jerry about I oughta do a certain thing and I knew in my heart, I was lying. So if you’re arguin’ with yourself, pretty good indication you should not do it.



Number three: do you feel uneasy when you do it? Had ya just as soon for somebody not see you doin’ what it is you’d done decided is alright for you to do?



And Number four: Can you give thanks and say ‘Lord, I thank ya for providing this for me.’? Alright, you’d done made up your mind: you’re gonna do it. The Bible says, give thanks for all things. So when you do it, can ya say ‘Lord, thank ya for providing this for me. And I some kinda thank ya, for fixin’ it where I can commit to what it is I’m doin.’?



What is right or wrong?, Do you ask other people?, Do you aruge with yourself?, Do you feel uneasy when you do it?, Can ya give thanks and say ‘Lord, I thank ya for providing this for me.’? If you can’t, you better watch out…You’re fixin’ to mess up.”

May not be "cool" but damn good advise.

Well, here, we will just have to part ways. IMO, might as well ask Santa Clause for advice. I don't need to ask any fictional characters about what is right and wrong.

The only thing you said in your edit that made any sense was if somebody saw me doing it, would I be ashamed...well, that's an easy one to answer.

If you don't want somebody to see what you are doing, or as Tyler says, leave any evidence, than it's probably a pretty sure fired way to figure out that you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

 

[banderson]

It's okay, you can cry about your insecurities because your mom isn't as cool as mine. I'll even mail you some Kleenex and some Johnson & Johnson's "No Tears" baby shampoo. It's supposed to be extra gentle.

I'll let you keep "Cool" since cool losses it's luster rather quickly. Which kind of cool is she 3' Afro cool, Plaid bell bottom hip hugger cool? Hairy pits and unshaven leg hippy cool? Oh wait, I'll bet she is DISCO Cool. Me I prefer integrity over cool. Cool don't buy squat when looking for a good job, buying a house or buying the groceries. As for the Kleenex I'll send you the address of the federal institution. Plenty of "Cool guys" that had chemicals they shouldn't have that could use them. Instead of shampoo you might send them Vasoline instead. A 55 gallon drum would be nice. Plus they would put your Kleenex to good use after. Well................you know.

get off of your high horse. I work a full time job, go to school and have never had more than a simple parking ticket. in fact, I have been caught once- but the officer let me off because he knew that I am a responsible person. he even let me keep the bag I have never used or even thought about using another substance. Sure there are a lot of people who go on to use other drugs, but those people are predispositioned to doing drugs. that doesnt mean that the cannabis did it. I would say quite a few of your "citations" come from the findings of the Reagan administration. did you know that they actually used findings from a test in which they gas masked monkeys, and pumped cannabis smoke into their lungs without adding any oxygen into the gas masks. they did this for weeks on end until the monkeys died. they then used these findings to show that smoking cannabis kills brain cells, when in fact the brain damage was caused by lack of oxygen. if you read into more recent scientific evidence, youll find that cannabis use has been shown to promote brain cell growth. you can go on with those stereotypes spinning around in your head, but I can assure you that they are just that.

So here's a story to consider...

Let's say I "know a guy" and "he told me this"...

He was wandering around a baseball field where his boy was playing and wondered what was down this little dirt path next to the field. Yes there were no trespassing signs, but what could it possibly be right next to a kids field, right?

So he casually wandered down.

After about fifty paces he saw this large odd structure with signs all over it about public water supplies and some very threatening words about what will happen to you if you can read these signs.

Needless to say he made a bee line out of there and scurried back to his kids game....

... Just in time to see two state troopers and a local cop pull up lights ablazin... Both of the staties paused long enough to pull shotguns out of their trunks and all three ran down the path.

A few minutes later they were up scanning the crowd, and eventually they left.

My advice would be not to trespass. Ever.

You live in the states right?

That would probably explain that story. (not meant in a bad way) the US of A has that kind of reputation pretty much everywhere outside the US.

 

[Natalie]

That is true... Unfortunately the US doesn't allow the public the right to roam like many other developed countries do. It's really a shame, especially considering the fact that many states have very little public land even, giving people literally nowhere to go except Walmart, McDonald's, or in front of a TV. The disconnect between the land and and the people here is frustrating and ultimately harmful to the entire population - if Americans could (and chose to) spend more time out in the wilderness hiking and whatnot, maybe they wouldn't be so overweight and unhealthy.

[kharp]

I've trespassed just to see things and in turn got some pretty great shots. I wouldn't go into someone's yard without their permission. I don't want to be shot at. But, I don't see a problem with going somewhere that's been abandoned and nobody seems to care about it. I don't litter or destroy anything. I think, too, that if it's during the day you look less likey to be up to no good than you may at night.

WOW! Never heard of this from one person I've met in 25 years of smoking. Not one person.

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis or "Marijuana Morning Sickness" -- clinmed/2001110001v1 -- Clinical Medicine NetPrints
It says this right at the top of the page. Did you notice???

"Warning: This article has not yet been accepted for publication by a peer reviewed journal. It is presented here mainly for the benefit of fellow researchers. Casual readers should not act on its findings, and journalists should be wary of reporting them."

Cannabinoid hyperemesis: cyclical hyperemesis in association with chronic cannabis abuse
Did you even look at the reference section at the bottom. Their findings are mostly based on research that is decades old. Seriouisly.

Dangers of Smoking Marijuana
Even more WOW!!! Really, so did you research the writer of t his article? You should.

Marijuana Smoke Contains Higher Levels Of Certain Toxins Than Tobacco Smoke
You don't have to smoke joints my friend.

THE MEDICAL DANGERS OF MARIJUANA USE
Wow! Wow! wow!

So you should really do some background search about the articles you post and who is writing them and what their agenda is. Seriously. One of the first things taught in English classes is anything you read must first have the writer/s scrutinized first. The writers possible hidden agenda should be your main focus before trying to understand what they are writing about.

Here's an interesting study....Marijuana and pregnancy.

Not if they shoot first and ask questions later!

[snapcult]

M'erica, no trespassing... Well unless of course it's got Indians on it, then it's on.

 

[JSER]

I occasionally trespass (mainly for the lulz). Never on a property where someone is home, or working. Never do I leave any type of trace of me being there, nor do I take anything away from the property.

The way I see it: No harm, no foul.

If there is a place more deserving of a permit, then yes I'd certainly get them. It's all up to your own judgement. This is of course, my opinion... and I live in a pretty thinly populated state as well where most laws are pretty lax.

I would be ashamed to openy admit I brake the law and trespass onto other peoples property

 

[bentcountershaft]

The idea of trespassing and the seriousness of it is obviously dependent on regional influences. In some places it just isn't that big of a deal to people and in others it is. Where I'm from falls in the don't do it category. People around here are protective of their property and their privacy. If I were to move to a place where people are more forgiving about it I would probably be regarded as an over zealous asshole. If someone from one of the more forgiving places were to move to my area they would probably be regarded as too trusting and naive.

Regarding marijuana and it's varying degrees of legality I will only say this: I would gladly trade a drunk for a pot head.

Not me man... How many times do you hear about a person who smoked pot and beat his wife or kids compared to how many people get drunk and do the same thing.

 

[bentcountershaft]

I mean I would get rid of a drunk and take in a pot head. My communication skills are lacking today. I'll make it simple enough for myself to understand:

​Drunks suck. Potheads are whatevs.
