That's wild that you can smoke in public in Canada.
It's the same as skateboarding in the 80s. It was always this rebellious 'punk' thing to do, and only criminals were doing it. Thanks to the Dogtown boys, or whatever happened (Apologies, I need to read up on the history that went down), it's now a widely accepted form of leisure and alternative sport, and they have skate shops and parks all over the country.
I can't agree with you that people shouldn't smoke pot. It's their choice, and it shouldn't be something that prohibits them from enjoying the sport. I mean, as long as people are discreet I guess. Plus, I think that people mainly get that image from the old Grateful Dead shows, and their college days, and stuff like that. Cuz they used to be hippies too!
The key is for us to introduce the sport to as many young people as possible, in a positive way, so that they and their parents can discover that footbag is about focus, exercise, intellect, and having fun! Not smoking pot and just slacking off. I think the image is starting to get better, and I've heard that in other countries it's already that way.
Let's do our part to make this happen!
Yeah, I agree with you about the fact that a lot of people think it's a stoner/slacker thing to do. It's ironic that they don't realize it's probably one of the toughest and most demanding sports out there!HenryG wrote:i wish so many footbaggers didnt smoke, so then we could get rid of the
hippy image..
it seems to be that that is the #1 reason people dont take this sport seriously

Decriminalized isnt legal, it means you get a ticket and fine instead of potential jail and criminal record for less than an ounce. I saw on tv about about that issue and the colorado officials were saying it didnt matter because the prosecutors already didnt care and were offering good plea bargains anyway.

i really hate how pot is illegal, its so fucking stupid....
i was just watching cops, and 3 arrests in a row were made on people doing nothing wrong except tryin to get a lil high and pass the time. Its really pathetic how some cops will arrest people for scraps of pot they find on the floormats and such. Those people werent doing anything wrong, and their lives are sometimes ruined because of it.
People smoking pot arent the ones commiting most crimes, theyr too lazy. IMO i would never go rob a bank or kill someone or commit a felony while i am high, it takes too much effort, and then u gotta run away after...THAT SHIT KILLS UR HIGH!!
idk...im just venting right now, it really pisses me off to see innocent people get put in jail for smoking a lil pot while people are getting away with robberies and murder...so sad

It's true. haha, Nobody does anything harmful except maybe buy a box of girlscout cookies. And it's a complete waste of time/money trying to "fight the war on drugs." People have been getting high for thousands of years, pigs will never stop it.People smoking pot arent the ones commiting most crimes, theyr too lazy

Agreed, a great reason why this stuff shouldnt take place in the open at jams.sniper4life wrote:I hear all this crap about people smoking at footbag jams an events, and it's making me not want to go to any. I would have to get a ride from my parents, and if they saw any of that crap I'd prolly be prohibited from doin footbag stuff.

i would never smoke in the open to begin with...i would do it in my car or something before i came to the jam...i respect that some people dont like to smoke, so i dont do it in front of people who dont want it around them.
However, i have never been to a jam or anything like that, and the though of smoking a blunt in the open while shredding does sound very appetizing

If a drunk person walked up to a cliff, he would be uncoordinated, but would still be able to turn around and not go off the cliff. If a high person walked up to a cliff, he would look normal doing so, but could just walk right off the cliff.
I hate hearing stoners bitch about how pot should be legal if alchohol is. They are two very different things, so one being legal should not affect the other.

Are you a [Mod edit.]? I usually don't like to be directly rude (Preffering more sniping attacks), but you're [Mod edit. ]. Explain to me why stoned people are able to realize they shouldn't be driving when they're passed their limit, but drunk people get in a car and drive home hammered all the time? Talk about jumping off a fucking cliff.If a drunk person walked up to a cliff, he would be uncoordinated, but would still be able to turn around and not go off the cliff.

Instead of calling me a mother fucker a dozen times, you could have provided me with a link that backs up what you are saying. If you smoke enough, you can do some pretty stupid shit.BainbridgeShred wrote:Explain to me why stoned people are able to realize they shouldn't be driving when they're passed their limit, but drunk people get in a car and drive home hammered all the time?
That post of yours threw the peaceful stoner image out of the window. How could you want to kill someone for one post on an internet forum?

Peaceful stoner image? Get off my dick bitch. Who says I ever tried to portray that image? Shows how much you know about smoking, bro. Fucking talking about jumping off cliffs and shit? You ever smoke in your life, bro? Obviously not.Instead of calling me a mother fucker a dozen times, you could have provided me with a link that backs up what you are saying. If you smoke enough, you can do some pretty stupid shit.
And provide a link that backs my shit up, bro? Yeah, I'm sure there have been tons of studies done on whether or not weed makes you jump off fucking cliffs. I don't have to look at studies,; I've been stoned around cliffs, and I'm still here to show you how much of a dumbass you are.
Kill you? Where did I say I wanted to kill you. You probably shouldn't be smoking weed, you're fucking dumb enough as is.How could you want to kill someone for one post on an internet forum?
All I want to do is kick your ass, which is what your daddy should of done when you were 12 and still had time to be made an impression on.
