You know, I'm surprised this subject hasn't come up before. I've noticed there is a distinct lack of pot smokers on this board. I'm really surprised, because I'm sure most pot smokers would really like Firefly. Kaylee has the hippie love and so does River. Hell, they all do.

I think all Browncoats should do whatever possible to help tap into this wide open market.

If you know someone who is abusing marijuana, be sure to mention Firefly.

Not because Firefly is "fun to watch high" but because pot smokers tend to think of themselves as Independents.

I was given the gift of Firefly by the biggest dope fiend I know. Long may he smoke.

In terms of drug use on the show, I have always really appreciated the fact that in "Safe" Jayne is sure to steal pills from Simon's room. I always imagined he was just gonna try 'em, see what they did.

Its always bugged me that scene in "Serenity" where they get buzzed by the Reavers, Inara has a handy syringe all ready to go. It has been assumed that it was meant to kill her, rather than be taken by Reavers. Supposed that is mistaken?

I had never considered smoking pot until y'all just suggested it, but I'm gonna try it now! I am glad to find a support group for my soon-to-be addiction. I'll let y'all know if it's any fun.

Never let it be said that this is not a full service site. I just posted a recipe that will be great when you get the munchies! Of course, I've heard people get the munchies....personally I have no firsthand knowledge of this.

Hmmm... read this thread last night, didn't much consider it, till I was asleep... bear with me... I dreamt that I was on a ship, and the crew had just discovered an amazing plant that you can smoke, and feel really really good from, *cough*cannabis!*cough*, but then after a while, you develop an insane appetite, and there just happened to be another ship passing by, so they boarded them and ate them. Thus, the origin of the Reavers.

Ok... I know that's pretty twisted, but in dreams, it doesn't have to make sense to be funny... kinda the same when you're high...

Yeah that is pretty twisted. I have never heard of weed turning a person cannibal. (there is a story out about a guy who fried his own toes and at them after sniffing butane.)

I would expect a weed induced crew to note the other ship and go "Wow. Look at the lights out there."

I can't believe what we have started here.

Cannibal and Cannabis are very close in spelling, and I think that's because eating people can make you feel high. Or maybe it's smoking dead people, I can't remember. Does anyone speak Latin?

Knowing Latin's not gonna be much help. I actually heard a professor of cannibalism talking on the radio not long ago. Cannibal comes from the Spanish word Canibales. And now thanks to the magic of the Oxford Dictionary I know that Cannabis is from the Greek word Kannabis.

Firefly and marijuana were once part of an eagerly aniticipated weekly ritual of mine and several friends.

No cannibalism involved. Justice League and Samurai Jack on cartoon network were the warm acts. Firefly and whatever flavor Ben & Jerry's was handy were the main feature.

Then, to get the adrenalin pumping at 9pm there was the ceremonial sprint to the TV to shut it off before John Doe would come on and kill the buzz.

I MISS THOSE DAYS!!!!

Personally, I believe that if Kaylee can develop inter-engine fermentation, then certainly the crew of Serenity can find room in one of their many hidey-holes to grow a little grass. Then they can use it to bribe Alliance officials with.

And Firefly is a little like smoking the pot, it leaves me hungry for more. . .please Joss, make that movie quick!

Me being the sick mind that I am, I always wondered which characters would be most likely to get stoned. My vote is Wash. Though I'm sure he would have to be cautious of Zoe (don't see her as the type to get stoned), you have to admit it would be funny as hell to see him trying to fly the ship completely blitzed.

My opinion is that Jayne is a closet pothead.

My reasons,

i, He spends an inordinate amount of time "in his bunk"
ii, When he is asleep, not even an intruder can wake him up.
iii, He gives names and assigns personalities to inamimate objects.
iiii, He's almost always eating (big time munchies).

I would have loved a scene with Book, Inara and Jayne smoking the hookah in Inara's shuttle.

I can picture Inara and Book philosophically discussing meditation and religion -- and then Jayne just bursts out laughing.

Or something like that.

Not that I don't respect you and your decisions, but get a clue. So alcohol and tobacco ruin lives. Thats just because it is sold over the counter to anybody with the proper (or at times inproper) credentials.
Working with kids I see the direct and indirect consequences of pot usage. Can you imagine seeing a kid three years after they start using. And thats all they use. Only to see them dumber that the first time you met them. Or friends that you grew up with having the same problem.
Please do one thing for me. Look outside yourself. I'm sure many on this forum will tell you the same thing. From the outside looking in most potheads only think of the world as it realtes to being high, smoking pot, or your next experience. Its kinda like dragging a person whose never left New York City to the wilderness of Nevada (I've done it). The insecurity of looking at the world without the hazy glasses can be a scary thing.
But who am I to talk. I sometimes watch FF/BDM while sobering up and eating whatever. Just limit yourself while having fun. Hate to find out that FF/BDM were just a novelty for the high times.

Hey nvghostrider:
I've seen and experienced the highs and lows of cannabis, and seriously Tobacco’s effects are far more dangerous to all, plus there's the whole fact that it is one of the most addictive substances known to man, while cannabis is non-addictive. Alcohol will cause harm to anyone who drinks to excess and is likewise addictive.

If you smoke twenty joints a day it's going to have an effect, if you drink twenty pints a day it's going to kill you and soon. Violence and borderline sociopathic behaviour go hand in hand with alcoholism; cannabis’s harms are far more introverted.

Sure Cannabis isn't as safe as proponents would like it known, but the worst thing cannabis will do is bring out an underlying mental condition that may never have surfaced.

What I mean to say is that you’re seeing absolutely the worst of cannabis and then looking at the big picture of other substances. Seriously Tobacco and Alcohol's reputation of 'being worse' than cannabis is well deserved and has nothing to do with them being more easily available.

That’s not to say that when people start in on the “cannabis is completely safe!” line it doesn’t piss me off. Be under no illusions cannabis really can ruin lives, and ‘cause’ serious mental illnesses in a minority of people, but to say it is worse or even as bad as Alcohol or Tobacco is just wrong.



More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

Well thanks to this post I just had an entire scene play out in my mind of Wash getting totally high. I started to type out what I imagined but realized it would be too long so I'll post it in a blog (my first.)

Actually it would make for a good fic, but though I can write I've had a problem with the FF lingo. Just want to get the idea down though before I forget it.

I can see all of them getting high, and Mal mellowing out for once in a long while.




If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

In regards to this post, I actually made it into a fic, don't know how it happened it just evolved. Part 2 is yet to be written.

My two cents,...I started at 22 and have smoked for over 30 years.(God,am I THAT old?)I don't drink, don't smoke cigaretts, and don't drive stoned. I do not see any affect on me or my brain,....latest IQ test said 131, so I guess the brain is still holding.

Thanks Citizen for the input.
I have to correct myself a little. To say THC is as dangerous as other legal drugs may be wrong. But only in certain populations.
Not tryin' to yank your chain 'cause you are miles ahead of me in the brainpan. Not to mention I think if given the chance you could argue even the pope outta the papacy.
I just wonder where you're coming from. Are you a minority? And from what minority groups?
Combine any number of people's minority groups.
They are the majority.
I had compiled a list of arguments and observations directly from experience, but most are wasted on paranoid and clouded ears.
One point I'd like to make. Studies, no matter where they come from, will always be wrong on this subject. There are so many variations of Marijuana that an accurate study will probably never be done. Pot is no longer natural. Its been bred and altered "naturally" so many times that there possibly no way to ever get it back in its natural state.
Just concerned for the well being of my fellow 'coats. Though it has been stated THC is non-addictive, see it from my shoes. As a human service worker for a "minority" group, as with many other workers from other groups, we are on the frontline of the new world. From what the children are telling us, We're headed down a bad road. Just think about your kids.
(Sorry, sounded like Mr. T for a sec.)

One of the funniest movie quotes I’ve heard was from Jackie Brown...

The Samuel L. Jackson character (Ordell) tells the Bridget Fonda character (Mel)
“Damn girl, it’s 8 0’clock in the morning and you already getting high…. All you do is smoke and watch TV. That shit’s gonna ruin your ambition..”

Mel replies:
“Not if your ambition is to get high and watch TV…”

An old friend visited me about a year ago. He wanted to borrow ten bucks from me. I knew what it was for so I said no. He started to cry. Like a baby.

I won't describe what he looked like or what his clothes were like. Just say he matched the gutter he was probably living in.

I've gone to more than one funeral involving drugs. Not pretty. They do a fair job of covering the exit wounds to the back of the head.

I've been there. I got out. God it was the hardest thing I ever did. I've seen more lost souls than I ever would want to count.

One was my father. He lost his work, his family and then his life. He was 58.

Ever visit a mental hospital? I have. Do you know why most people are there? I do.
Drugs. You don't beleave me. Go visit one. Talk to some doctors while your there.

I have on more than one occasion taken somebody to a hospital to be treated for this disease called addiction. These are things you learn to do in AA. Holding people so the know their alive.
Sitting up with somebody and just talking nonsense untill the urge is gone and the can finally go to sleep. You do it because they did it for you. I don't like losing friends to this shit. I'm tired of it. You learn what it is like to be locked up. You learn how to make coffee. You learn how to listen if it takes all night.
You learn to stay sober one day at a time.

Alcohol and pot take years. They are very patient. They aren't worried about time. Coke and crack are greedy they want your life right now. That's about the only difference. The end is the same.

To say it isn't additive is not true - it can be psychologically addictive, and to say it isn't harmful is also untrue. Smoking it for 20 years caused my brothers brain to stop making serotonin. As a result he is on antidepressant now and will be for the rest of his life.

Bottom line, anything you inhale into your lungs that isn't oxygen - is harmful.

But on a non-serious note - I am not sure we want to encourage pot smokers to embrace the verse. Got nothin against pot smokers, but imagine their distress when they day comes when they have to choose purchasing a nifty firefly bit o memorabilia - or a dime bag! What Horror!
