Initially yes they did Twizzy. But here the strange part , most of the bars now have dedicated outdoor, heated, smoking areas. Most of the bars, that i go to have told me that initially business was way down. Now its a different story. In fact, its a whole new social scene going outside for a smoke. I also smoke way less.

i think thats a horrible attitude. The isnt any proof the smoking greenery is any more physically dangerous than smoking cigs.
Actually there is.. 1 Joint carries about the same tar and nicotine in it as 1 pack of cigarettes.
Your clearley ignorant regarding this topic. Contrary to popular belive weed isnt the life ruining drug you might claim. Infact you want to look at your self... Companys such as coke, pepsi, macdonalads are far more life ruining than drugs and there products are proven to shorten life expectancy more than smoking weed in many cases.
So isn't a few other things.. we won't forget to mention the few parts you missed. Such as the wonderful cell phone and ehicles.. I'll go into that in a little bit.

I made my first post to Tribal because I thought he had manufactured the post just so he could tell everyone he smoked pot (though this wasn't necessary - see his avatar and nickname). What he does isn't anything to do with me - we've pm'd and i've apologised for being a jerk.
Sorry Topp - I enjoy reading your posts, but I don't want to get into an argument with someone who thinks "enough" is spelt "inuf". I'd just be wasting my time.

drugs do not ruin lives.
people abusing drugs ruin there lives.
there substance abuse is usualy the result of external pressure.
ie... its not the ****ing drugs that ruin there lives. its the parent who keeps slapping his kids whos ruing the life. The kids doing drugs to escape and is likley feeling better when he is high than when he is not.
ie- the drugs relieving the psychological tourment caused by the outside pressure and actually improving the quality of life.
this is esp the case with cannabis which has numberous medical aplications.
think about paracetamol... every one takes it!.
its changes your blood pressure and alters your heart rate...
exactley the same physialogical effects as cannabis without the psycological aspect.
you cant just say drugs are bad period... then say but other drugs are ok becuase the government says so.

Smoking is now banned in all public buildings in Ireland (inclusive of Bars, Cinemas, Offices etc..) as a smoker i have to say its fantastic. Take-away food at the moment is exempt from VAT !!!! This however is also about to change in the coming year (s) or so with the introduction of a "Fat Tax", in order to encourage people to eat better !.
Drunken arseholes are fine as long as its their own decision, as are pot-heads, druggies, take away junkies etc. However none of this should be encouraged to the youth. If your an adult then its your own decision. But as Rob said its not cool and not fun ! It will ruin your life.
All this advise from a forum of gamblers (lol)

second hand smoke is one think...
but i saw a 3 year kid eating the shit from burger king yesterday and they do make the products they sell adictive. especialy to kids under ten years of age. Anything fatty and sugery to a kid is addictive (in a psycological rather then physical sence) they want more and more and wont eat stuf that isnt fatty and sugery. This does often get tot the point where you have to feed your kid shit or he wont eat.
I think this is worse than smoking becuase its legal.
having said that some 9 year old kid stopped in the park when i was skinning one up and blagged me to lend him a joint. (he said his parent give it to him)... so i asked him if his parents could get me any lol.
he looked fat and fastfooded too. (life expectancy... fast food + pot = about 50)
o, its what i call lazy english.

(i dont use my name) sit down close my eyes until they bring me my chips... wait for the BB... and then start playing.... in between... if i win a big hand i'll fold my next hand no matter what i have.. folded pocket A's once and saw a guuy make a straight on the river with 5/8 os if i was in i woulda had a set of ace's... and every hour i'll get up smoke a cig drink and beer and go back =D

2. hoover out all the bits of crisps and other food remnants they have managed to lodge in the keyboard
3. clean all the sticky residue, from the drinks they seem unable not to spill, off the table

You can tell the psychie of the poor englishman. lol. Ignorance is great in poker competition. Give me a table of people who act out of ignorance everytime.
I always found bongs help. Id be playing for 2hrs in mtt and i just break the bubble and its the 2hr break. Perfect time for a bowl. calms the nerves a little as i start to bluff more.
I think the other guy only had a go at you to be cool.

i didnt read tribals thread and thougt that he wrote what he wrote to appear cool . Since pretty much people smoke and i like to smoke myself sometimes , i can understand that his routine just might feel good and hes having good results with it .
I really think people should care less about smokers and more about hard drugs or corruption in politics . They get criminalized for doing something more healthy than alcohol .
Your reaction , rob , sounds more if u have a problem with smoking or beeing tolerant about others .
I mean lets take the "wich beer do you prefer" thread . For me this thread was more "pseudo - cool " than tribals statement .

No routine here. I just need to make sure I'm ready to concentrate and not play too loosely. Cats on the desk is OK... husband in the room is not. Otherwise I can have music or no music, eating or not, dressed or in pajamas. I do try to be fully dressed for live play.
Do bong hits help? Depends on how many.

Online or live? I'll answer both.
Online - Get into some confortable clothes and go to the bathroom so there are no "interruptions."
Live- Again, go to the bathroom and sometimes I do some stretching. You going to sit at a table for a while so it's best to loosedn up before you get a strain neck or something.

to right,
everything you eat effects your mind.
Sugar for example, that you eat everyday. (or pig fat)
stop eating sugar for 2months then start again. That effects you mind. Just as the diet you does. Somepeople go to fast food places and get real fat. That has more effect on there mind than any amount of pot or skunk could.
As for the topic of the post.
Depends if i have anything to smoke. lol

Lol, if i tried this (the bong) i'd probably would get so paranoid and have to lock myself in the bathroom. The stuff just does not suit me, sends me a bit crazy.
The only thing I do to get ready is gather a few 500 dollar chips before I leave the house put them into my pocket and away I go. They come in handy.
