Dope activist to smoke 1m long joint
November 26, 2006
A MEDICAL marijuana user plans to see in the New Year on an all-time high - by rolling the world's biggest joint.
Los Angeles resident Brett Stone said he plans to usher in 2007 by building a 910 cm cigarette using around 112 grams of marijuana.
Mr Stone said he was inspired to try for a record after learning that the previous biggest joint was made with 100 grams.
"I thought the world's largest joint would have been a lot larger," said Mr Stone, 48, who runs the medical marijuana website dabronxnews.com.
Medical marijuana use has been legal in California since 1996, when voters passed a law allowing the drug to be used as a pain reliever.

I can't imagine he'd be feeling much pain at all after smoking that one. In fact i doubt he'd feel anything at all.
I guess dying of lung cancer wouldn't be too bad if you can't feel it or remember you've got it.
The whole arguement that dope has a role in pain management in this age of pharmaceutical advancements is a load of crap in my opinion. It is just propaganda potheads are pushing to see it legalised.
In the terminally ill I don't have a problem with it or most drugs for that matter even if it does just chill them out and temporarily improve their appetite, but to argue that it has beneficial analgesic effects over present medications is bullshit. |

Tess! Tess! Tess! S.T.F.U!...If people catch on to your ranting and raving about the effects on tobacco/alcohol, it's possible they could be placed on the banned substance list. Do you know what will follow this prohibition? Do you? No? Then let me tell you]. We will be placed in a higher tax bracket!
Tess I ask you, if we are placed in a higher tax bracket, HOW then am I to afford my moonshine?

I have this recurring thought, do prostitutes have a 'in-store' policy, you know, like a; 30 min money back guarantee.
P.S People have free will, if they wanna take drugs and remain dumb, that is entirely their choice. _________________ free energy i$ coming.... |

Hugor you have contradicted yourself in your first and final paragraph.
I've seen the damage and the horrible effects illegal drugs can do to people. From Dope to Ice the damage to the brian is something I wished I'd never seen. But if I had a choice I would prefer Dope over heavy shit like Ice. Alcohol also damages people and can have horrible effects... but it is legal. Smoking Cirgarettes causes cancer and emphysema yet is legal.
Whats needed is more intervention, rather than just pooh poohing the drugs addicts. The people supporting these addicts need help more than the addicts, you can't stop an addict being an addict. All you can do is wait for the fall and be prepared to help without judging them.
I've not heard of anyone turning to prostitution or living on the street to support a dope smoking habit! Hard drugs and Alcohol though.... different story.
Trust me when I say.... I have seen the under side of Grey/Greeves/Inkerman Sts. It's worse than you imagine. |
It wasn't contradiction just sarcasm which never sounds right when written. The purpose of palliative care is to improve somebodies limited remaining quality of life not rendering them unaware of their surroundings, their emotions and interractions with their precious ones. There are excellent medications around to relieve pain, anxiety, anorexia without dramatically altering ones mental state.
If your just going to bomb the terminally ill out with drugs so that they don't know what's going on then why not just euthanase them. Don't get me wrong I'm not condoning that.
There is nothing marijuana can offer in a therapeutic sence that is not better performed by other medications.
As I said earlier it's just potheads pushing propaganda. |

Legalise everything! take the criminal element out of drugs and let the government regulate it, sure it's exchanging one set of crooks for another but it has proven itself overseas... but they never will, you know why? the lawyers, cops etc make way too much money from it, nobody really cares about the "war on drugs" except how much money they can make from it... the lowly drug dealer has nothing on the real "movers" and shakers of the illicit substances world |

Dumb idea. Joints are the least economical way of smoking marijuana. Imagine how much of that 1 metre joint just goes up into the air. Waste of good dope. You're much better off smoking cones. More bang for your buck. _________________ Line and Length ... Line and Length ... Line and Length |
