I received an Email today from Brownells with the above title. The content of the email shows an AR receiver surrounded by wisps of smoke.

I have always considered Brownells to be a company that responsibly represented the firearms community. As a country have we come this far that this is now mainstream? I feel this is a good thing we need to stop sending people to jail for bull shit. It's good to encourage drug use?  You consume alcoholic beverages right? Most deadly drug so far on the planet. Good Lord. The only reason it is "most deadly", is because it is the most common. Bullshit. Come work the streets for a while and then talk to me. Alcohol and cigarettes keep EMS and hospitals in business. |

You know what pot and machine guns have in common?

If you weedies understood the chemistry of addiction, you'd run the other way from pot.
You like to claim it's harmless, but it produces the exact same dopamine hormone in the brain that heroine and meth do. Maybe not as much, but the result is the same. By altering the pleasure receptors in the brain and then requiring more and more over time to offset the sensitization effect, it's the same mechanics of addiction as any other drug. And the natural side-effect is to come to believe it's harmless, because the brain wants to get more of it and therefore rationalizes its continued use. It's a process that sneaks up on you while you're in denial. Write your future off now unless you quit, because otherwise you'll never be more than an under-achieving loser. |

Need to see if I can get a group buy going, since the State comptroller wants you to buy like 600 bucks worth of stamps at a time. |

I could name at least 6 guys ,who toke regularly, under 40, who have made 6 figures annually for the last 7 or 8 years, as professionals. You're full of shit. Txl Eta, they were not party buddies. Me and my party buddies enjoy camping with TRG (literally), whiskey and good (but reasonably priced) cigars. Bloody marys in the morning, and tannerite in the afternoon. |

As opposed to the no dopamine producing sugary foods, video games, and sex.

Instead of using these very dangerous drugs, I recommend everyone instead use a high sugar, high calorie diet supplemented with daily use of alcohol for personal pleasure. |

I agree that weed is addictive and smoking it is a bad decision. But it's a personal decision, and it's not the government's job to save you from yourself. If you want to use your free will to ruin your life, that's on you. Keep government out of it, and don't tax me more to use that money to enforce laws against it. |

I smoked the shit for damned near 20 years. While I am lucky in that I have a good paying job and never really allowed the weed to screw that up for me, to say it didn't affect my motivation and skew my sense of priorities would be a lie. I honestly feel as though I could have done far better in many aspects of life if I hadn't been a weed smoker. Of course, I support anyone's right to smoke whatever they want and would never agree with laws against marijuana or any other plant for that matter. But if I had life to do all over again, I'd never touch the stuff. |

I know quite a few very successful people who occasionally smoke pot. I also have had acquaintances from years ago who got addicted to prescription opiates and are now dead. I don't know anyone who has died from pot. I do know that if a person is lazy and they smoke, they are still lazy. If they are successful and they smoke, they are still successful.
