Why It's Called Dope.

I have never understood the allure of smoking Marijuana. While I've known many friends throughout my lifetime who've enjoyed firing up a joint/a bong/the one-hitter, I most often passed when I'd been offered the same. Those times that I didn't left me wondering, 'why did I even bother?' All it did for me was make me sleepy...and stinky. And all it seemed to do for my friends was make them stupid. And stinky.

Smoke dope = become stupid...and in dire need of a bath.

As if to remind us all of this fact, let's take the case of 21 year-old Charles Ray Fuller. Charlie Ray had big plans (BIG Plans) to be a somebody in the record industry. His dreams of greatness were no doubt given free reign when Charlie Ray partook of the herb. So great were his dreams that, he reasoned, all he needed was a little folding money to bring this dream to fruition.

So it was that Charles Ray Fuller - possessed of a dream and some weed - borrowed a blank check from his girlfriend's mom...obviously thinking he'd be so successful so quickly that by the time she noticed the check was missing, our hero would be able to repay his 'loan' many times over. He filled the check out, forged her signature, and presented it at a local Ft. Worth, Texas bank.

As he filled it out he no doubt though to himself, "What's it gonna take? $36,000? No, more. $360,000? No, that's just chump change. $3,600,000? As a big-time record exec, I'd spend that much on dope in a year!"

No, what Charlie Ray needed was to be liquid. So it was that he presented a check to the bank teller for $360,000,000,000. That's right: Three Hundred and Sixty Billion. With a "B".

After presenting his check, Charlie got to meet some new friends...all of whom just happened to be in the employ of the Ft. Worth Police. He was arrested for forgery, carrying a concealed .22, and being in possession of - you guessed it! - marijuana.

What a total dumb shit, huh?

Let that just be a lesson to us all...step away from that one-hitter, friend.

Studies have found repeated use of humor-blogs.com has caused a severe case of the munchies in lab rats.

If one zero is good, more must be better

That's not why it's called dope, dope isn't even a correct term. Dopamine is referred to as dope. Ignorant people call marijuana dope. Also, that guy is probably an idiot already, weed doesn't make you stupid, especially not that stupid. The killing brain cells myth is from a Reagan era unscientific test where they pumped marijuana smoke through a mask to a monkey. Marijuana smoke wasn't to blame for dead brain cells, the lack of oxygen fro pure smoke being pumped in is what killed brain cells. Simple science my friends. This myth has been discredited for a long time, yet people still belief the myth.

DEMAND drug tests for ALL public sector employees:::President, city managers, clerks, janitors (who aren't contract employees). Public sector job security should be a priveledge.
