Very true actually. No problem with stating that, and I'm sure it can be quite the influence.


But not everyone who smokes is a "pot head".

Not everyone who smokes marijuana is a "pothead". You'd be surprised at some of the moderators and support staff on this very site who use pot.

**To those people: I hope I'm not out of line mentioning that. You've posted elsewhere in the marijuana debate discussing it, so... just report my post if you'd like people not to know ^^**

I don't remember using that term. However, it is an accurate moniker. See dictionary definition below:

American Heritage Dictionary - Pot·head (pŏt'hěd') Pronunciation Key
n. Slang
One who habitually smokes marijuana.

I think it will depend on if you have lower or upper, spinal, etc...check them all out and hopefully you will come across one that will work for you or at least offer some guidance and possibly relief. I know how horrible back pain can be. I am fortunate that I don't have any back problems but my partner has severe back problems as well as my brother. It is miserable at times, I am sure. Good luck and I hope you find some answers.

wow, anyone remember what this thread was about?

oh yea, MJ. Laughing

The family influence DEFINITELY makes sense. Although I was aware it was 'illegal', I was always confused to why my parents could smoke pot and the police didn't bust down the door like in movies. I was always afraid that when they smoked, the police would smell it and come take my mom and step dad away. My sisters didn't see that so that's why I believe they are now pot smokers. (I must be the good girl Rolling Eyes )

Sorry, Lilly--we have a poster that always likes to define words from the dictionary ie., habitual, pothead, because he thinks i guess we do not know the meanings of these words. Anyway, he is constantly throwing off the thread. He really needs to go to the Grief forum or as his name suggests back pain 1955. Yes, i think u are the smart one-- u must have been the eldest-- i bet. I think if parents want to smoke a little weed,then they should try to keep it from the kids --as to what they're doing anyway -- i mean it is illegal and u can get in a lot of trouble depending on where you are. Parents have a responsibility to protect them and try to keep them within the limits of the law and try to set the example. i mean how hard would it have been to not expose ya'll to it? u are a smart girl!!Peace-love--prayers--Bobbette

Yes, sometimes it is necessary to demonstrate dictionary meanings when people wrongly assume a term I use is wrong. The dictionary meanings are cited for accuracy and to help those that don't know a specific definition. If any already absolutely positively know the correct meaning of a term, then by all means, skip the post...
It is quite evident one person wishes I would just go away....but it isn't going to happen.

You almost remind me of Yodavater, except his grammar and spelling is better than yours. I think.
