I started smoking pot in 1995, I smoked for years.  I don't smoke it anymore.  Why?  Because it numbs my brain into a coma.  Am I saying smoking pot is "bad for you"?  That isnt your ridiculous arguement.  Your mess of an "educated" explanation, is that "caffeine is more dangerous to the human body than marijuana". 
That is the most ridiculous 'pro pot' argument I have ever heard.  GTFO!

Seems like smoking grass should be a prerequisite for anybody using the handle "BigKingBud".

I know a thing or two about smoking some bud, and I know about all there is to know about using caffeine.  Both sides of my family were\are HARD CORE coffee junkies(black).  I also have family and friends that became all different types of drug abusers.  My cousin just died at 43 becuase his body gave out on him.  Let me tell you, it wasn't the coffee that brought him down.
Caffeine as harmful as marijuana, ridiculous.

My real name is actually Bud though(its a nickname, but I have always been called that).  What's funny is that BigKingBud is actually my VERY first internet handle(from back around 96-97).  Why did I need an internet username?  To play chess.  I just quickly picked bigkingbud(right off the top of my head), to play yahoo chess.  Just sorta stuck.

Like I said, caffeine is more harmful than THC physically, so where is your argument?.

You said it, it is ridiculous, and incorrect.

You are either 'just trolling', in denial, can't handle the truth, or an idiot.  Pick one, and move on.

Caffeine is just as much of a drug as anything else. Its legality is irrelevant. My advice for everyone - RESEARCH EXTENSIVELY before putting any drug into your body, legal or not, prescription or not, recommended by doctor or not etc.... Don't trust or distrust things just because of their legality. Smoking weed every day will be massively better for your health than drinking coffee every day. And not all drugs are bad. You just have to be cautious and aware of the inevitable downsides that come with the ups.

   It's legality is totally relevant as to whether it's use should be considered cheating or not. But, thanks for sharing your views on experimenting with drugs

So if I have a prescription for valium then it's not cheating, but if I don't then it is cheating? The effects are the same ether way, so what difference should a slip of paper make?

    Well if you've been prescribed it by a doctor for a medical condition, you're legally entitled to posses and take it. So, that's the difference the slip of paper makes and if you don't like it, don't have a go at me, see your congressman and start a campaign.

If it should be considered cheating under these conditions, I really don't know but, probably not !

I'm not "having a go at you", I'm pointing out your flawed logic. If you don't want people to respond to what you post then don't post it.

As for that slip of paper determining whether or not it's cheating - there are plenty of unscupulious doctors who will happily write out a prescription for pretty much anything at the patient's suggestion. Hell, pharmceutical advertisments practically flaunt this ("ask your doctor about...").

So if I wanted to use some drug to give me an edge in a competition (whether it be chess or some athletic sport) it would be a small matter for me to find a doctor willing to write me a legal prescription for that drug.

I love when people think their personal ancedotes are scientific, debate-ending proof.

Nah, Valium doesn't work.  Use Viagra instead!

Dear BigKingBud, education and information is good. Fear mongering is bad. Please find me one reputable source that mentions anything about marijuana killing brain cells. Alcohol does, for sure. Not all drugs act the same way on your brain. This is why you need to research instead of just spewing whatever fear emotion-based nonsense you feel like spewing.

Alcohol does not kill brain cells.  Look it up.

I think some quotes from Beloved Bobby should be insightful:

I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist who smokes dope.

I was never invited to the White House. They invited that Olympic Russian gymnast - that little Communist, Olga Korbut. So I rolled a blunt.

America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they're doing in Yugoslavia. I just can't play chess without that Yugo-dope.

Now my only income is a few royalty cheques from my books. Can't get anything up my nose on that.
