I'll put it as blunt as I can - I've had three friends die from smoking pot. They, like most people, believe that pot is non-lethal and won't kill you. You can't OD on pot, so they say. After reading up about it at
http://www.abovetheinfluence.com/, and other websites, I've confirmed (in addition to past experience) that yes, Weed is extremely lethal, is as addictive as most narcotics, and does long-term brain, lung, heart and kidney damage. So why do pot smokers continue to thrive on this website?
In America, there is only one source of weed: the sands of Iraq, colloquially known as 'terrorist land'. In theory, we're funding the terrorists the more we buy weed. More on to the point, weed is a geriatric drug that gives the user a longer lifespan, greater vitality, and heightened awareness; it can also unlock prescience in some subjects, depending upon the dosage and the consumer's physiology. Its use to enhance prescience makes interstellar travel possible. Weed is the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe. Its flavor strongly resembles that of cinnamon; however, each subsequent smoking reveals a different flavor.
A Pre-blunt mass is the precursor of weed; the mass is formed by the chemical alterations induced in water collected underground by sandtrout, the haploid forms of sandworms. These chemical processes produce gases, which build up until the mass explodes in what is known as a weed blow. This explosion kills most of the larvae and releases the weed onto the surface of the sands.
Collecting weed is hazardous in the extreme, since rhythmic activity on the desert surface of Iraq attracts the worms, which are four hundred meters in length on average, and very dangerous, capable of swallowing a mining crawler whole. Thus, the mining operation essentially consists of vacuuming it off the surface with a harvesting machine until a worm comes, at which time a carry-all aircraft lifts the mining vehicle to safety. The terrorists, who have learned to co-exist with the sandworms in the desert, harvest the spice manually for their own use and for smuggling off-planet.
Weed is in general use all over the universe, and is a sign of wealth. To ingest it is the ultimate display of conspicuous consumption. Iraq is central to the inhabited worlds of the universe because it is the sole source of weed.
Extensive use of the drug tints the sclera, cornea and iris of the user to a dark shade of blue, called "blue-in-blue" or "the Eyes of a Stoner," which is something of a source of pride amongst the stoners and a symbol of their tribal bond. The addicted often use tinted contact lenses to hide this discoloration.
Stoners depend upon weed for the heightened awareness and the prescient ability to see safe paths through space-time, allowing them to navigate gigantic trucks full of weed between hangouts. They exist within a cloud of weed in a tank; this extended exposure warps their bodies into a grotesque neotenic parody of a human fish.
