A friend of mine tried to pressure me into trying the devil weed, this weekend. The dreaded Mariajuanna! I first protested that the reefer, as it's addicts refer to it, is illegal. My friend corrected me upon this point. My next protest was that the reefer is unhealthy, however my friend was quite quick to point out that the reefer is a much healthier and safer alternative to all of the booze I had been swilling that afternoon.

Here is my questions, gentlemen – is the Marijuana *respectable* ? Can gentlemen safely smoke it?

Being safe and being respectable aren't one in the same.

Its safe to have a tramp stamp, but it isn't exactly respectable.

yes, in a word. Probably better not to, but in terms of risks, it is less harmful than other things that are legal. Probably best not to do those too much either. I've known a number of very very capable people who partake regularly. They still kick ass in the courtroom.

and it is "Cannabis"

Respectable? Not really, even here where it's nominally legal. Perhaps someday.

I would agree with your friend that it's probably healthier than alcohol, but that's not really saying much.

Does this come up often in relation to Diplomacy?

Well this explains a lot about you 2WL

As far as wacky weed goes, it's soon to be legal everywhere. There are a plethora of reasons it should be legal, both for medicinal and recreational use. The medicinal only is a good reason. As to health, not to many things in moderation are that bad for you. It is not physically addictive.
I've been a user for quite some time, and I'm quite successful. So the things are not mutually exclusive.

More seriously, it's amazing to me on the webdip forums how it seems like the serious OPs are always met with sarcastic replies, and the sarcastic OPs are met with serious replies. I don't know if it's on purpose, or tone-deafness, or what lol

@thucy, was that a picture of you on the Jamaican beach stoned to the bejesus
Thucydides (864 D(B))
31 Aug 14 UTC
But, on the subject of the discussion, it's interesting how Jamaica is seen by outsiders as the ganja country, but internally, not that many people smoke it, and those that do, although they do it openly, are not exactly embraced by the community at large for it. I would say "tolerated" is more to the point. Much like drunkenness in most places.

They grow some great weed thucy. I've spent a lot of time there, and know some people who own property. It was ganja country till the cocaine trade came though the country, from Columbia.

As long as it is legal and you don't extract and inject THC into your veins, it's almost entirely safe. It's also largely non-addictive, though it can happen if you try. It's worth experimenting with if you engage in creative activity - my friends swear they make the best music while a little high, though I'm not entirely sure I trust them.

Actually pretty much every crop they grow there is of a higher quality than is found in any other part of the world. Pineapple, ginger, turmeric, coffee... other herbs and spices...

As long as you're not doing it all the time, weed is great.

It has a wide range of medicinal uses,it bolsters creativity, and it makes normal activities more entertaining.

The Goose Public Press Series
Hi all, as you may know, I've always been a huge fan of public press games. I was hoping to get a 7 game series started where you play public press as each country. Non-anon. 48 hour phase 10 point buy-in. If you think you have what it takes to send subliminal messages to your neighbors, post below.

Kazakhstan on the Modern II Map
Er. The Caspian Sea works as an ocean spot, correct? And Kazakhstan is adjacent to it.
Why can't I convoy to Kazakhstan then? I can convoy to Caucasus, Volga, etc. but not Kazakhstan. Even with a fleet in the Caspian, moving an army from Iran to Kazakhstan works without asking for "via land" or "via convoy".

Is this a known error/glitch/bug?

The Great Pot Debate
No, not another de-criminalisation thread.
Just a suggestion that, for replacement players, the contribution of points to the 'pot' should be abated by the amount of the defaulting player's initial contribution. So, with an original bet size of, say, 40, a 6-SC power would cost just 24 to take over, while a 3-SC power would cost nothing.
This would provide an incentive for substitutes to come forward.

I just noticed that I've spent the last two months on the overall top-100 GR list. I joined about a year-and-a-half ago, so it's taken a while (I only play full-press games, usually with long phases), but it's pretty sweet.

Congratulations, me.

He said Hamas had insisted on discussing demands first before ending the war, which only served to prolong the violence needlessly." 1. How "unified" is a Palestinian govt. that blames its own and 2.
