Re: sm –
Hey, those perscription drugs and that alcohol that

More people are killed, maimed, victims of abuse, get cancer from the two most readily available and legal drugs-nicotine and alcohol. When someone is stoned they sit in a room and laugh their heads off but when someone is drunk they can have a multitude of reactions. BAN ALCOHOL AND LEGALIZE POT and make the world a happier and safer place to be.
Lovie says – reply to this

That is so wonderful! Most of my stories start with that same line, and for everyone who is reading this and are having negative thoughts about me, go fuck yourself or go get stoned. I bet you'd be happier if you got stoned…

Re: yo – oh. my. god. honestly, does anyone think before they type???????? By saying what he said, he didn't mean that in order for his stories to be interesting, he needs to be high, he was just using the fact that "most of his stories start with " so okay, i was really high" to demonstrate how big of a pothead he is, that most of the time he's high, thus most of his stories start with ….

…. YOU are a moron.
Vanes says – reply to this

38

lmbao. most of my stories starts like that too. If pot was legal unemployment in the hood would be 0 %. and our jails would be less overcrowded. prescription drugs on the other hand should be outlawed. the symptoms are usually worse than waht you took the damn drug for. it kills me when watching those commercials for whatever drug and you see people with herpes walking around like they just won a million dollars. and just at the end of the commercial the little voice comes on. side effects may include heart attack, stroke, and a bunch of other shit yet pot is illegal. you gotta love America

tk says – reply to this

43

This is cool and brave. Most people that smoke don't talk about it because of the very fact that it is illegal; but it should not be! Do your research and you will find that marijuana is a natural, relatively harmless substance. Yes, filling your lungs with any kind of smoke is not good for your health, but pot can be cosumed different ways too. If alcohol is legal, pot definately should be, it's ridiculous!
simi says – reply to this

44

LOVE THAT. Legalize IT!
lucie says – reply to this

45

What gets me is that I'm sure that most of the comments that are being said against this ILLEGAL DRUG, are more than likely coming from people who go out & have a few to many drinks on occasion. Now - take these people & put a ban on ALCOHOL again, and see if they don't break the law. Pot is a lot more harmless than drinking!

SO HE LOVES CHRONIC…BIG DEAL. HE'S NOT HURTING ANYBODY. SOME PEOPLE ENJOY A COUPLE GLASSES OF WINE, HE ENJOYS SMOKING A SPLIFF…IT HAPPENS.
miche says – reply to this

55

Legalize it already. I've done alcohol and pot and I can tell you which one makes me feel worse! I don't think people get stoned and kill a family of four on the highway or beat their wife and kids…that's alcohol!!
s says – reply to this

56

one more reason to love Rob Thomas
legalize it!!!
jg says – reply to this

57

Re: GREEKGIRL – i hope its not a spliff, just straight buds.
Jenny says – reply to this

58

It would probably be more expensive if it were legal cause the government would tax the hell out of it. I have never tried it and never will but if people do it safely and not be dumb and get caught with it or drive while high I am okay with it.
Scien says – reply to this

59

We are the biggest group of smokers and potheads, didn't you know that?
Reall says – reply to this

60

you really think people should drive stoned? I know at least 3 people who started with pot then moved onto other drugs. I love the mentality on these posts, fat people suck but smoking and pot are okay. burning smoke into your lungs, very smart!
BITCH! says – reply to this

61

BUSTED!
FReal says – reply to this

62

I thought all of his stories started with "Okay, so this guy was fucking me up the ass…"
Mikey says – reply to this

63

Its called a vaporizer. It doesnt produce smoke, but simply boils the THC which is an oil. It produces a nearly invisible vapor. Much cleaner and safer method for getting high.

Legalize.

ps, Im in Canada….sorry americans for your expensive crappy pot.
Tom L says – reply to this

64

Hmm? Why did Perez make it look like cum was coming out of Robs mouth?

Could it have anything to do with the rumor that his wife walked in on him SLEEPING WITH TOM CRUISE!!!?
Zoe says – reply to this

65

Legalize it!
EastLansinglove says – reply to this

66

LOL, that's how most of my stories start out too…
miche says – reply to this

67

Re: Reall – No one said you should drive while high. I know atleast 20 people who smoke and don't do anything else. The government screws with your head by saying its a gateway drug. I'm sure if you asked heavy drinkers if they ever had a beer, they would say yes. If you ask heroin users if they ever smoked pot…probably yes. That doesn't mean, however, that just because you smoke pot, you're going to do harder drugs!! I am a professional and make very good money. If I want to smoke in the evenings to relax, that's my business.

how many people die in car crashes due to alcohol? and how many people die in car crashes/overdoses due to marijuana….oh yeah NONE! I'm a 4.0 college student and I smoke marijuana daily. I have never even got a speeding ticket so here is a big F YOU to the people who say what a bad role model he is for being honest! don't be sheep.

miami says – reply to this

84

He's so devoid of life and personality he needs to get high in order to have those? No different than a drunk saying "I was so hammered when…" Sad and pathetic. No wonder his career is in the shithole.
And, PS, I do think marijuana should be legal, but everything in moderation, people. No need to do it every fucking day.
