Asscuse me? I have a full head of hair and a beard like that (albeit with a bit of grey) and I ain't on sh!t. Just naturally gifted.

I have to admit, I laughed my ass off when I read about Mays in the paper Sunday morning. Wife had to pound on the bathroom door to find out if I was ok. Of course he was on coke!

Buzz...pretty sure many of us had some similar stories. I know I do.

But we made it...some don't.

I'm reminded of Bony...used to dye his beard and hair, except that when he sweated, the beard would leach the dye and it would run down his shirt.

I believe Dan40 made the comment that pot may not be addictive ... and I agree with that , however , I also feel it is a gateway drug for the hard stuff . A good friend`s son started off on pot and then decided he wanted more and stepped up to crack . I watched that boy go from a fun , productive young man of 180 lbs to a non functional scarecrow of about 130 lbs . He chased me down one night ( took him 5 miles to catch me ) just to "borrow " $10 for "gas" . He also almost destroyed his parents and wiped out what savings they had trying to help him .
I have ZERO tolerance for drugs and anyone who uses them !
Yes , I agree that there are some people who are predisposed to abuse drugs/alcohol ... but drugs have been proven time and again to be so destructive , why even try them ?.... and I grew up in the 60`s drug culture , and never had anything stronger than alcohol ... and , yes , I know that is also a "drug " . Today , I drink very little , other than a glass of wine or a COLD beer after cutting the yard . I can`t stand the pain the next morning of the good time I think I had .
