Yeah, I don't believe a word of this post frankly. I'm not going to bother responding to it, except to say that Artosis is a paid commentator and probably doesn't walk around the street wearing Starcraft sweatpants and a Starcraft baseball cap.
then why did you respond. wtf are you talking about? are you too fucking high brow to give a real response? is my post not good enough for you, sir? its not even about facts... its about perception, beliefs and opinions. wtf is there to believe/not to believe anyways?
and also artosis regularly wears starcraft themed t-shirts and talks about starcraft more than anything else. if outwardly displaying obsessions is disturbing to you, how is his obsession less disturbing than another? and why do you continuously create these extreme examples for what you consider obsession? is wearing themed sweatpants required to be considered obsessed with something?

Lol, "terrible". Exactly what the government wants you to think. I've never smoked, but I wouldn't be against it. More to do with the fact I wouldn't know where to get it.
Drinks like these are an interesting idea, but they might need to make it clear what, like, the "equivalent" of that drink would be if it would be smoked. So people don't down a bottle and go a little further than they wanted, because they didn't really know what it would do.
A small part of me wishes i lived in California. lol

I'm sure you've never made fun of someone who acted different ever never in your life.
The point is, weed has become a retarded obsession for some. Several of my friends smoke every day. It's not even an option to not do it anymore. My fucking housemate moved out because he couldn't afford rent, but that didn't stop him from ending his 300 dollar a month pot habit. Every discussion with them is related to smoking pot, growing pot, finding other uses for pot, etc. It's absolutely ridiculous, and I know empirically that my couple of friends who are obsessed aren't the only ones who act like this.
And seriously, stop bringing up stupid tangents about other peoples obsessions. Just because he didn't mention it doesn't mean he considers it of less concern. You're just overreacting.

those specific examples you gave of pot obsession can be considered disturbing. but labeling and generalizing the 21st century's weed culture as being obsessive and disturbing was the original arguing point. and i have no idea how my post is more off tangent than bringing up an example of a grown man wearing super mario clothing.
I'm sure you've never made fun of someone who acted different ever never in your life.
what does this have to do with anything?

so it sounds like it might take a couple of these drinks before you start feeling the effects. dunno, i think it would just be cheaper to smoke weed normally and then buy a normal soft drink

35 to 75 mg is quite a bit of THC, you should def be feeling it after one of these.

Canna Cola is set to hit the market in Colorado medical marijuana dispensaries next month, and developer Clay Butler says it will offer a new option to those who use cannabis.
Butler, based in Soquel, California, recently spoke with the Santa Cruz Sentinel and said that though he's never used marijuana, his product is legal and ethical. Butler says he is a "firm believer that adults have an inalienable right to think, eat, smoke, drink, ingest, decorate, dress any way they choose."
Butler added that his new soda line will include the "flagship cola drink Canna Cola, the Dr Pepper-like Doc Weed, the lemon-lime Sour Diesel, the grape-flavored Grape Ape and the orange-flavored Orange Kush."
Each twelve-ounce bottle will sell for around $10 and will include 35 to 65 milligrams of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the main active ingredient in pot. Butler is hoping to distribute the drink in California as well, saying that his product offers a fresh take on a sleepy product.
"You look at all the marijuana products out there, and they are so mom-and-pop, hippie-dippy and rinky-dink," he said.
by RTT Staff Writer I always considred weed as a ''terrible'' thing, but maybe these type of products show us how we can manipulate certain drugs to make them unusual and atracttive stuff. Perhaps in some years I'll try one. Anyone buying this?  ![[image loading]](http://tendenciasmujer10img.emol.com/Fotos/2011/01/26/file_20110126105256.jpg) why would you consider weed a terrible thing?
I mean, where I grew up, I've been taught about drugs and they said ''drugs are bad and stuffs, and if you try one you will get addicted BLAH BLAH'', but recently I found that if someone has the enough willpower to control his/her body, I don't see why trying these subtances (obv considering the susbtances like THC, etc) will harm them in a deep way. I'm not saying that drugs are 100% safe, I'm saying that you will never find out how can they hurt you if you don't give them a try. But i repeat, the addiction is a problem though

well your perception of weed being a "terrible" thing is wrong to begin with; weed is one of the safest narcotic out there. weed, when ingested, will increase its potency significantly compared to simply smoking it. that said, these soft drinks should not have "too much" weed in them Well if you take a look at the THC amounts 35-60 mg is definitely more than I expected. Your average weed has around 5% THC so 1g weed got 50mg THC. Of course with the other cannabinoids missing I don't know how strong this will be.
Noob. First of all 5% is very low, even some Mexican sundried outdoorcrap is going to be more potent, so let's say 10-20%.
Second of all, when we are talking about 10%THC it means that the RESIN itself contains 10% THC, not the "weed" simply because of measurability.

You can get a couple of hemp based drinks in the UK, if you really try hard you can get a little buzz, but mainly I used to drink them for the taste.
I had a THC drink in amsterdam..... getting high is a slower process, you dont get the near instant gratification, however if cannabis use is ever going to be socially acceptable and allowed in public, its needs to be in forms that don't require them to be smoked. Pretty much every developed country has banned smoking in resturants and pubs, so a drink is a good way to go.

the problem is that people say "drugs are bad" but then they also don't include alcohol in that with that statement. my parents let me drink at parties from like 12 years old, but my mum lost it when she found out (when i was 16) that i smoked weed.... completely hyppocritical imo.
All drugs have effects on your body, they are all harmful in some way. Cannabis is relatively harmless, but most smoke it with tobacco and that means they often believe they are addicted to weed when actually its the tobacco, your mind just can't seperate out the two drugs. Having been a stoner for most of my adult life i can say confidently that i can take it or leave it, i usually take it tho.... because I enjoy it, but when its not available or I don't have the money.... i don't get all ancy for a spliff. I can't say the same about alcohol, I can't drink more than 1 JD and coke when i go to the pub or i'll spend the next 2 weeks drunk 24/7.... and thats not good, i know i have a problem with alcohol and so avoid it. I can't touch cocaine either, same problem.
The problem with weed is that we are funding criminal organisations who deal in far worse things than weed, and that is something that has always concerned me. If I could get it from a legit government source, I would be happy to do so, I would much rather know that my money was being funnelled back into something good, like the NHS or roads or whatever.

How obvious can it be that people are taking marijuana for recreational purposes and not medical ones... no one makes lipitor soda. No one even makes amphetamine or zolpidem soda.

and that is new? I mean CA tried to pass a proposition to legalize recreational use of cannabis. medicinal use is already legal in many states btw.

Those alcoholic softdrinks got so many kids to start drinking a lot way earlier than they normally would, so I'm not sure it's a good idea to have such things that are easy to market to a younger audience with yet another drug. I think the government could easily cite some "public health" concern and stop this from existing.

I don't see how people that are so against weed, they are also probably drinkers and have no problem with alcohol lol dam hypocrites

That's cause lipitor can be ingested through the mouth. Now thc can be ingested through the mouth as a liquid. So that makes it more medically legitimate. No one makes liptor joints that I can smoke?

Does anyone name their shit after something delicious.
What kind of marketing thinks naming their drinks: Diesel is appealing or remotely considered something of delight?
I'm so confused.

I would buy those just for the glasses =P

Sour Diesel a certain strain of weed, more popular in the eastern US I believe. All the brand names are named after references/strains etc. Don't ask me where the name came from though xD
