| ▲ | aidenn0 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm agnostic as to the harms vs. benefits of smoking marijuana, it's the smell that bothers me. I personally love the smell of frankincense, but I would understand if my neighbors objected to me burning it regularly. | |
| ▲ | galangalalgol 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Inhaling any particulate seems like a pretty bad idea. I knew a Jamaican guy who thought people were silly for smoking it and said tea was the best. I have no opinion, not my vice of choice. | | |

I have celiac disease and a wheat allergy, which presented at the age of 3 comorbidly. If I ingest gliadin, my immune cells take the gliadin, run a nice little check on it, and then raise holy hell and destroy my gut villae. If I come into contact with wheat, I get a histamine response. Even a bag of (organic, locally produced) wheat flour opened in the same room as me used to be enough to make my airways close up. | | | |

This is absurd if you know anyone with a gluten intolerance. They have an immune reaction to organic wheat (so no glyphosate) but not to any other non-organic non-gluten produce (like oats, chickpea flour, etc. which have glyphosate). | | |
| ▲ | its_ubuntu 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I've heard many anecdotes of Europeans who can't eat American wheat as it will make them sick. Even "organic." What is going on here? Something other than what we're told, is all. "Organic" is a word owned by the U.S. Government, and cannot be used without their permission. Now who owns the U.S. Government? Follow the money trail. Your anecdote is useful to further my understanding and I have no idea why it would be downvoted. | | |

| ▲ | its_ubuntu an hour ago | parent [-] | | Thanks. I appreciate the recognition. It feels good to be well educated and knowledgeable. |

| ▲ | idiotsecant 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | You sound just delightful. A wonderful blend of ignorant and weird-but-not-in-the-good-way. Smoking anything is bad for you, including the thing you like. PM 2.5 contamination is enormously harmful, and it doesn't magically go away if it's weed. | | |

| ▲ | jemmyw 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I did read their post history. I guess it's nice to understand that people who rant like morons don't believe they rant like morons. I always wondered about the self awareness of it. | | |
| ▲ | its_ubuntu 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I note that neither you, nor the masses of people who presumably agree with your viewpoints and find mine contemptible, have been very argumentative with me about anything I've said. Curious, as I've also noticed this forum is full of people who will argue with a brick wall if they happen to disagree with its color. My comments have also been strangely devoid of downvotes and flags for being so wildly unpopular as you believe--this thread being the sole exception. If you think any of my viewpoints are wrong, please do me the courtesy of pointing out exactly where so that I can either correct myself, or correct your misperception, whatever the case may be. Passive aggressive put-downs aren't conducive to helping further anyone's understanding of anything. Nor is engaging in censorship. (I do realize such behavior is more of a 'modern society' trait than a personal one. This is why I make it a point to keep far away from what you call 'polite society.' Most of you aren't really what I'd call polite.) By the way, I identify as a "HE", not a "THEY." It's only one person here. | | |
| ▲ | jemmyw 5 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I never claimed to be polite, although I definitely temper my writing because I've been reprimanded by the mods before. You didn't write anything to argue about. You wrote that you like the smell of weed. Well I think most people don't when they're not enjoying it, but that's only my experience with people, I haven't run a poll on the subject. I would certainly be bothered by it if it was constant. Then you started the rant, in the most stereotypical way, X is all lies. There seems to be plenty of evidence that any particulate pollution is detrimental to health, so this is not even about your particular vice: people don't want to breathe shit you're burning. |
