Athletes don’t watch porn? Do tell.  

The entire point of the thread was the frustration over not being able to attend a sporting event on campus without the stink of weed. I added my annoyance with the constant advertising barrage of sports gambling watching and attending sporting events. I don't have any idea whether athletes watch porn on not but they aren't filming in front of families on the 50 yard-line.

I was not prepared for this. 😂

Its one thing to take care of yourself and family, but another thing when you own a business and others are depending on you.  It reminds me of the "WIT" mantra.

Alcohol probably is worse for you yes, but pot is horrible for your lungs. And for the edible crowd out there, it’s horrible for brain development in young adults. The incredibly high THC count nowadays isn’t being researched enough for the effects it has on the brain. In 20 years we are going to see just how bad it is. Acting like marijuana is some miracle substance with no side effects is just as bad as thinking alcohol is fine. 

Truth.

To be clear, I'm not judging OTF for their sponsors. You can't watch anything on YouTube without seeing these ads. I still watch, just lament the fact these are the ads that pay the bills because they are obviously driving sales of things I personally would not like to see widely adopted by society as I view them as net negatives.

People love to make jokes and sometimes we make snide remarks, etc, but I actually think you are correct...in 20 years we may finally admit how bad it was, particularly for people younger than 25 years old (brain deveopment).   I appreciate your comment and the probable courage it took to make it, knowing that so many of us will probably pooh pooh it.  

It's a hot button topic.  I remember when MADD first formed and how much bad and derisive criticism those mothers received from the rest of us...we could drive in those days with open containers in our cars!!  And we did!!  We smoked in grocery stores and traffic courts and teachers' break rooms and offices and hospitals(!!)...you get the picture...it was crazy where we all smoked...and this was up into the early 90's!

I'll be curious to see what happens in the future...

Yea the problem is how new it is (as far as the stupidly high THC %) so we have no idea what is actually doing to our brains.

Fair. Similarly I’d love not to hear certain ads, but I’m not going to complain about getting a ton of free content. 

The midroll ads get me every time. CJ will be nerding out on some stat then @Blake Munroe is trying to make me a weed smoking gambling degenerate all of a sudden. Simultaneously funny and annoying.

I’m still curious on how legalizing weed debases society any more that alcohol.

As opposed to alcohol? Makes sense.

Alcohol is much worse for society BECAUSE it has been so widely adopted. It destroys families, increases auto deaths, crime, health care costs, etc. Far exceeding any economic benefit for the companies, shareholders and employees of alcohol companies. I'm not making  judgements on anyone that chooses to gamble, smoke weed, drink alcohol or watch porn. I do, however, believe that all of those pretty obviously make society as a whole worse off. I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand or comes across like some hot take.

Subject in section 420 complaining about something. Ejected.

Cool. Sadly vice has been a thing as long as there have been people. Even Jesus drank.

Plain and simple. Some people like and use cannabis and some don’t. Alcohol is here and there’s nothing wrong with a few drinks either. I am however big on respecting the space when it comes to smoking weed and/or drinking. In your house and in your own space, all good. In a public setting with many people, be aware of the people and things around you. Trying to break down what hurts who and what is an endless debate and all of you need to find some good food to eat and chill on this great Tuesday. Hookem!

OTF is the reason weed smoking has proliferated at Texas. Got it!

Not only are you and OTF to blame for all the clouds of smoke at DKR, but for all the alcoholics (Garage Beer) and gambling addicts (Prize Picks) out there as well. Mainly Brennan Sorsby 😂

Thanks to this thread, now I know why I am not as smart as I used to be as a teenager. Wait, never mind. I did some really dumb stuff as a teenager. Next subject.

[NTXHornsFan]

So if that’s the case and OTF is to blame. When @Gerry Hamiltonwas reading spots for Manscape, What the hell was going on in the stadium then?!
