stoner furs

[Dervacor]

i don't believe the highlighted words above are what is permitted in this discussion thread.  discuss the safety of the volcano, willingness to escort a city tour of places of interest to a smoker (cannabis cafe etc), legality, decriminalization etc but not actual consumption, different quality, making a connection, selling or buying and more.   just use your brains or have you fried them out already?  

to discuss these things and more, do it in private

Relax, bro!

Nobody is forcing you to read through this thread and be offended.  Not only that, but nothing you highlighted in my post is indicative of any more than the very subject of this thread.  I want to make contact with likeminded furs in Vancouver that's it! ;)

I just wanted to leave my post at that and talk offline, certainly!  So no sweat, we are on the same page there.

Cheers!  And on a more serious note, I really don't intend to offend!  I'm a pretty respectful fur for the most part, but you are kinda walking into a thread looking to pin someone, and nobody here wants to stir trouble!  So let's relax and not read any more into what is said than the words say! :)

*edit: Happy talking to Tokar in PM's btw, I think we are both on the same wavelength for the most part!  My first post I do not think sounds so bad on its own (and this is where I was being a bit defensive), but the response frames it pretty blatantly!  So, yeah, regardless, I didn't mean for discussion to become blatant, I was hoping to take more explicit discussion offline!  :O  Still, I just want everyone to know I have nothing but hearts for everyone and hopefully I did not offend with my puffy magical dragon speak!

PS: Is art games?

I'm actually somewhat offended by the fried-brains remark :/ When somebody says "So what're we doing again today? I forgot" I don't say "You can't remember? You must be an alcoholic, because clearly you suffer from alcohol-induced memory-loss". Please, stereotypes are the last thing we should be throwing around here, if anything it makes you sound like a tool :c

Regardless, if you or anyone else has a problem with stoners talking about pot in a manner that we would use amongst ourselves then maybe you shouldn't have clicked into a thread named "stoner furs"? I think anyone knows that the phrase 'stoners' indicates pot. This thread is probably the best place to be introduced to pot (if you've never known anything about it before) because it advocates the positive, mind opening, love-and-peace atmosphere associated with the mellow, pleasurable drug. It would be different if we were talking about shooting up or how we can't find people in the city to help us find any because we're needing our fix.. but we aren't. This is more PG than most things on television :v

If anything it's good that Dervacor was asking for a local fur to get him into the game, it's much safer (and more enjoyable) than walking around downtown aimlessly until someone who looks like a dealer passes you by and you can attempt to strike a deal (whereby you run the risk of injury, robbery or just bad quality bud!). I personally would rather take him under my wing to get him situated, even if it's just for knowing that I'm keeping him safe.

Sheesh sorry about that guys, just, I'm not one to sit back when faced with double-standards. If people on here are allowed to talk openly about alcohol in plenty of threads and everything pertaining to it's use, surely little old marijuana can't be so bad/harmful as to bar it's open (but non-pushy, mind you) discussion in one thread

It has a lot less to do with people's individual likes and dislikes than it has to do with the fact that, like it or not, pot is technically still illegal, and people openly planning to engage in illegal activities could have negative repercussions for the board. There are also plenty of people who read the board via the most recent posts list and will see these posts anyway, possibly at school or work.

I don't think pot's any more harmful than alcohol - probably less so - but the fact remains that alcohol is legal and pot isn't.

*pokes his nose in from the sidelines*

Despite whatever anyone believes about the effects of cannabis, it is, by law, still a controlled substance. Asking for a place to find a controlled substance would be like asking for a place to find any other illegal item until laws are changed otherwise.

Also, skipping the topic if you don't like it is certainly the best option if it offends and no constructive criticism can be added, but the moment a topic steps over the rules-line that defense loses teeth if the user is identifying a rule-breaking item in the thread (politely one hopes). We're all supposed to care about our community, and that includes making sure no one is straying outside the borders of what is acceptable for the whole community.

As another note, having input from those who are offended by a topic expressed in a constructive manner is good for any topic. It provides an opposing side to weigh beliefs against to test their strength, and can perhaps bring to light aspects that were not seen and are worthy of ponderance. Of course the key here is constructive.

someone didn't notice the name   tokar  where do you think it comes from?    what i was pointing out which has been pointed out before is that we are allowed to discuss the use, the pros and cons, the legality, decriminalization, etc but NOT the "looking for a connection", or  "i have a guy" aspects of the use of pot (marijuana).  we also may not post or set up a meeting to get together for a buzz fest.  that would also be easy enough to do in private.  i think one exception to that rule would be to maybe ask - anyone going to attend 4/20 and care to meet up as a group?  since it is a protest and a public event i feel that it should not be a problem.  (admin??)

read this thread form the beginning and you will notice comments by the admin of this site.  his site, his rules.  choose your words carefully before posting.  if you want to offer a connection then discuss that IN PRIVATE.  not in the open thread.

i do not mean to be a downer and ruin your buzz but just pointing out the rules set out by admin.  i do not like some of them but i must follow them.

i was planning on having a 420 meet when it got closer to the date. we would probobly meet on the stairs or somthing

[Zythren]

Isn't openly discussing a meetup based on the consumption of weed still against the rules, even if it is a public event? :popcorn:

I adore that this thread is being taken semi-seriously. I like reinforcing the positive stereotype that it doesn't "fry your brain" or "make you dumb." I used to be a somewhat regular smot-poker and functioned quite well, had a great job, lots of friends, et cetera. I've been off it for a few months now, still leading a great life. I certainly don't believe it's something to be abolished or looked down upon, it's like any other luxury, sometimes we don't know what's gonna bite us in the ass in life, so imbibe once in awhile, and if you can't handle your high, put the joint down.

@zythren   granted it could be taken as that but since the event (4/20) is 2 months away i did not mean it to be.  i suggested that it could be an exception to that rule and in brackets at the end i wrote - (admin??) to ask them their thoughts.

[zadow sunfire]

there was a 420 meet last year and it didn't get taken down

[Ember]

Pot smells very strongly a bad way. It's like ripping a giant fart to get high.

[zadow sunfire]

just taking a glimpse of your account says you like mind altering drugs
mushrooms also taste like crap but they're fun

[tokar]

i spoke with RainRat last night at sushi about the 4/20 event held at the art gallery lawn in downtown vancouver on april 20.

he said that "it is ok to discuss the meeting up to go as a group BUT it is NOT ok to discuss the actual partaking of product."  

one can assume that it should be assumed that to partake of the 4/20 event that product will be brought or definitely will be there since that is what the protest is about.  but in this or any other thread on this forum we may not discuss the actual use or sale of product.  that discussion is to be done in a private conversation.

for example -- we cannot say ... i will be there near the corner of [redacted by RainRat] and [redacted by RainRat] smoking my brains out and i will have lots of joints to sell for 2 for $5.

however we can say ... i will be going and if anyone wants to meet me,  i will be at the corner of [redacted by RainRat] and [redacted by RainRat]from 2 pm until 3 pm then moving in to mingle with the crowd.

disclaimer:   my examples are NOT to be taken as subtle messages saying i will be there selling and smoking.  i haven't attended a 4/20 event in at least 4 years.

[admin]I edited out the street names. While I personally believe tokar just wants to follow the rules and make sure everyone else does, there was a concern brought up that he was trying to slip something by. I couldn't be absolutely sure that he wasn't, so I edited out the street names.[/admin]

[Zythren]

mushrooms also taste like crap

Not saying I have ever taken shrooms, but if I was to speculate on what it tastes like, I would say it's almost exactly like the outer shell of peanuts. :-X

[zadow sunfire]

they taste like (at least the stems) chewing a piece of bark or a stick with a slight taste of cow poo
