If we cooked it down for the resin, how much marijuana would it take to glue 4 sqft of latex painted HDU letters to a sheet of Dibond? I noticed Joey's list all of the products which can be made from the stuff like construction materials; Amazing! Animal feed? I have this mean ram in my pasture; I wonder if I fed him some "grass" hay would it mellow him out?
Seriously, for the latex-painted HDU on Dibond: would silicone work? Gorilla Glue?

Would it give him the munchies too? Never mind, he's about the eat me out of house and home as it is.

"Stoned Goat" - great name for a rock band.....

OK, I asked for it... My bad

It may calm the goat yet will never educate the sheep
Posted by Wayne Webb (Member # 1124) on :
Actually the sheep would have better sense than to eat it in the first place.

Joey, Probably the best medicines we have or will ever have, come from plants; penicillin comes to mind, coca, opium, aspirin etc.. God even made sex, religion and politics but it's what people do with it all that makes for bad stuff.

Wayne, Hemp is not Marijuana.
Did you at least read that link?
Posted by Wayne Webb (Member # 1124) on :
Joey, Saying 'hemp is not marijuana' is like saying 'a horse is not a Clydesdale". I looked it up: all 'canabis sativa' plants contain THC with 90% of the varieties having weaker amounts. Like I was saying; there is nothing inheretly evil about hemp or marijuana; the problem with anything like that is in how WE abuse it. The reason we have "Clydesdales" is because some people wanted more "horsepower" and the reason y'all have "sensamillion" is because some people were more interested in getting high than in making biofuel, rope and birdseed out of their hemp.
I skimmed your article, no I don't think we need to legalize marijuana or hemp, but I would be interested in knowing what's the best glue to fasten some painted HDU letters to a sheet of Dibond.

Going though life blindfolded must not be an easy task and I am thankful to God the Creator I wasn't made that way. There is a huge difference between believing in God and believing church is the way to God.
When I want to see God, I drive this
As far as glue, I use glue made with Hemp

Going back to the original post, what the heck was the purpose of this thread?

Never mind, Don. It was a request for info with a jab at the pot thread. My bad. I got my answer from the Coastal Enterprises site.

How did we get so far off subject, and go from a pot smokin' goat to cars? Unless it's a gto.
Nice car Joey. I don't have any old cars right now, but one of these days... My favorite was a 68 dart gts, 340 4 speed.

Pete, I've done in plenty a' big block Chevys in my little 2478 pound 479 horsepower roller cam small block powered 64 Signet you once saw above. Haven't a clue where the photos gone. Car ran low 11's and I'll be changing a few things to make it a little more streetable like a rear mount twin turbo setup, removing the race trans and installing a T56 six speed, I've owned this car almost 30 years and almost 29 years of street racing with it. yet I do like GM and have couple modified trucks that can scare even me sometimes but in a different way...

Wayne, if you're against legalizing industrial hemp you shd take a look at that documentary "Hempsters". Netflix has it. It's entertaining, has Woody Harrelson, Merle Haggard, Woody Nelson. It's poorly edited, but has plenty of great information, a lot about the heavy-handed interference of the DEA, broken Indian treaties, and the moronic arguments put forth by gvmt people defending the present laws.

From 1000 B.C. to the nineteenth century, hemp was the world's largest agricultural crop, where it was also used for paper,lamp oil and glue. During this period, several well-known books, including the Bible were made from hemp.
Kind a makes you all ticklishly inside eh?

Pot causes retardation - which we didn't need to have proven by scientific study... a simple visit to this site would suffice.
and you never smoked............
Posted by Dave Grundy (Member # 103) on :
Aww, come on Todd...
Read the article in it's entirety...Smoking pot at an early age is the point of the article.
Shirl and I are in our late 60's and we have both smoked pot occasionally over the years, even as recently as a couple of months ago.
I don't think anyone would consider us "retarded" as a result.
Well...Maybe we are kinda retarded...we got ourselves retired, bought a Mustang convertible for driving in summer in Ontario and a Ford Explorer to drive in Mexico in the "winter". I guess it IS kinda retarded to have 2 vehicles and 2 homes to maintain year round...BUT...I guess that is the kinda thing "retarded" folks do!!!
BTW...We got to be as retarded as we are by working hard and sensibly, saving and investing sensibly. Smoking pot once in a while did not hurt us one bit. Posted by Todd Gill (Member # 2569) on :
If you consider material 'stuff' and self-gratification your measure of success in life, then I rest my case. :-)
Posted by David Wright (Member # 111) on :
I was going to say something, but I shut myself up. I'm just an idiot.
Posted by Dave Grundy (Member # 103) on :
To reverse the question Todd...What do you consider your measure of "success in life?"
If it is professing to be a "Christian" and then posting about how to treat others in a movie theater, that annoy you...??? NOT my idea of success
And yes...I figure that being comfortably retired IS one measure of success. Visiting and conversing with others that think the same way is also good. Thanking God for our good health and good fortune is also good.
My parents worked hard and enjoyed a lengthly retirement..We are doing the same.
Two Bob Dylan songs come to mind..."Dignity" and "Gotta Serve Somebody"...Google them and listen to the words. OOOOPPs, BTW Bob Dylan has been known to smoke pot, so his words would probably make no sense to ya Todd!!!
Edited to say...Check out "Gotta Serve Somebody" first. Then check out "Dignity" next.

Nothing is ever black and white, and anything used in excess can be harmful. I have one big concern with marijuana and that is the multitude of research that points to a link between it's use and the onset or worsening of schizophrenia. I have first hand experience with this, keep your kids safe from it until they are adults.
Posted by old paint (Member # 549) on :
scitzoid....hummmm sorta how people who DRINK A LOT ARE, not so much pot smokers. PARANOID, maybe, but thats because your doing something your not allowed to do)))))) as for getting that way in older age, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POT....this disease is like most other mental disorders.....IN YOUR BRAIN, and only becomes active at some point or incident in your life that triggers it into activity. WE ALL POSSESS IT, just some never become so bad it interferes with living a somewhat normal life. this is the same with ALZHEIMER disease. WE ALL CAN HAVE IT, but many never experience it. i allways wanted to have a sex addiction.....but darn for all of my trying....i cant seem to get it))))))

Kelly, more and more I'm finding I'm like Pooh in your tag line “Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?”
and I neither drink nor smoke!
Posted by Joey Madden (Member # 1192) on :
I am neither a drinker or smoke marijuana, yet on holidays I do dabble and also use marijuana for pain. I have a grow card as well.
Todd, I too am retired, own my home outright and bought with cash and a handshake, have six vehicles registered, insured and drivable and my lady is twenty years younger than I.
BEER kills more people on this planet than all the illicit drugs put together and that is a fact no one seems to care about yet they will voice their opinion on an herb which should never have been illegal to begin with sit back smile and drink a BEER.
If I have to go any further, next subject will be Religions and how many lies are told Posted by Michael Clanton (Member # 2419) on :
hmmm- I don't see anywhere in the post where Todd refers to religion in any way, shape or form.... It seems he was pointing to a study on IQ effects of smoking pot. Why is religion continually thrown back into the posts as a rebuttal? Just because you don't like him, he can't contribute anything?
Kelly then makes an observation and caution about using things that have the possibility of worsening certain mental issues like schizophrenia... and the rebuttal is "well, it's not as bad as beer" ....really? That's all you got?

In a related thread a couple weeks ago, someone commented to the effect: “Those with closed minds will never know what they missed.” The choice NOT to use drugs doesn’t mean someone has a closed mind. Usually, they have examined the evidence before them and decided, in their case, it’s not for them. I chose not to get drunk, not to try tobacco, not to smoke pot, not to try other drugs because, after examining the issues, it just didn’t make sense for me.
When I was very young, I loved the smell of cigarette smoke. My father often had co workers over for dinner, many of whom smoked, and I’d sidle up to them to get a whiff of that aroma and I’d ask them about smoking. Every single one of them answered with some variant of: “I hate this habit... I wish I could quit... It’s a nasty habit... I’d quit if I could...”, etc. At age FOUR, I thought, “If everyone who smokes wishes they could quit, why do they ever start?” After that, I never had a desire at any point in my life to even take a puff to see what it was like.
Years ago, I had dental work done under nitrous oxide. I absolutely hated the feeling of not having control over myself. A couple years ago, when I had day surgery, I had the choice of a general type of anesthesia, which would have required my wife taking a day off work, or a different type in which I’d be conscious but unable to feel pain. The latter would allow me to drive home a couple hours later and I opted for that. Again, I found the experience completely miserable, with all kinds of bizarre thoughts and sensations. I don’t know how any of that compares with being stoned, but it’s certainly not for me.
I have many close friends and a brother in law who used to abuse alcohol, use tobacco in various forms, partake in hemp on a recreational basis (a terminology nod to Joey), and use other drugs. Every one of them is happy to be far away from that lifestyle. They feel better about themselves and where they are in life and they have better jobs and more disposable income. Recently, I was with one of those friends in a convenience store when several of his old high school running buddies came in. They were very friendly to us but were all glassy eyed and wasted on various pharmaceuticals and alcohol. After they left, I commented to my friend on one of them, and he replied, “Oh him? He was practically sober!” Although they all went to school together a dozen years or so back, they also looked much older than my friend.
Call me closed minded if you will, but my decision not to use these things is based on rational thought and experience. I won’t attempt to force anyone to think like me but I will give my observations if someone is interested in them. Another person might look at everything and choose differently, which is his choice and responsibility.

@David Harding:
I won't step into a dentist's office that doesn't offer nitrous oxide. Actually, I eat hard candy just to get my regular fix.
Posted by David Harding (Member # 108) on :
Don,
Is that why the dentist office always has a bowl of candy in the reception area?
Posted by Don Coplen (Member # 127) on :
Of course! You didn't know that?
Posted by Steve Shortreed (Member # 436) on :
This is one of those times I am second guessing my decision to allow this post to continue. Most of you know we have first hand experience with a loved one suffering from schizophrenia.
The whole discussion on the use of dope, as a medicine, or just another way to relax and/or escape reality is of big interest to me.
I broke our own rules for selfish reasons. In the process, I created a "monster". My bad.
There's nothing wrong with talking about this stuff. It's all I can do to not to get involved in the debates. Here's why.
Letterheads is still very important to me. Too many of my old Letterhead friends are gone and I see nobody stepping up to carry on what they started. Who's teaching outstanding design? Hand lettering. Are there any left that still believe sharing how to gold leaf and all that other old stuff that turned me on in the 80s is still relevent?
We've been at this website stuff longer than most. Experience has taught us that discussions about social issues like religion and politics only serve to divide and bring out the worse in us. We decided to ban those discussions in the interest of seeing this place survive.
We know some of you dislike this policy, but I saw other "sign forums" turn into disasters. It's not easy to enforce the law. There are times we are heros, but you do tend to hear from the unhappy than the many I know understand the "rules" here.
I'm rambling. The point is there are all sorts of blogs that cater to these other discussions. I regret letting this go on. There are better places to talk about this stuff. I forgot this time. Thanks for reminding me.
