Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]
Jones, you have a point; stoned people never robbed a bank.
Rocky, I find it sad that you and your friend are abusing the drug law - it is definitely NO joke, for those whom it was intended for! At least acknowledge that mmj does help people who are in chronic, unremitting pain, 24/7 year round.
I have a friend whom I took to one of those 215 doctors, with his MRIs and doctor records. He has 10 conditions that he's suffered with for almost a decade, and was contemplating suicide to stop the pain, when I mentioned the mmj to him as an option. Even his own mother would rather he be dead than try it because of the propaganda (that's so sick and twisted). So I drove him. The doctor talked with him, and told him that he only needed two of his chronic conditions for a few years, to obtain the license - but with 10, she was shocked he was still alive, and said the program was definitely made for him!
So he's at $20 a week, he's been gaining his life back, and cut his regular drugs way down. Plus it's the FIRST thing he's taken, that has affected the nerve pain! After they figure out which type suits him best, it may go up to $30 a week (for pain free), but it's so nice to see him awake, and actually moving around!! Yes - the mmj actually has him active, seriously. I doubted it too, but from what the doc said, it affects nerve damaged people differently. He said he's starting to feel like he may be able to work a job again, and is vying for hopefully, pain free days.
Just sad people abuse it, but thank g*d people that really need it are being helped, and my friend didn't kill himself from the 9+ out of 10 pain daily. I'm going to see him tomorrow for a bit.

Sorry, but I digress; I don't feel it's a joke.
I do feel that it should be completely decriminalized, and treated like alcohol, as a DUI if you are wasted and drive. But otherwise, I've never had issues with wasted people.
Tolerance is needed, and yes; terrible things were done by the baby boomers, but no generation matures without mistakes. Just hope our generations can do it less costly - and stop tossing people into prison for marijuana related incidents.

ikey - sounds like you need to repost your comment in the Polish Relationships area, under its OWN thread for help, dear!
I'll give MY personal opinion, take it or whatever, but my feelings: most of us Polish families are Roman Catholic, and get the guilt trip laid onto us heavily. After four years, you should be in already married! Seems like you are both wasting precious time, by making things feel all iffy. Just make her an honest woman. That is my take on it, but my opinion is worth only what it's printed on (but from the knowledge of what her family is pressuring her about).
I definitely look like my dad, and his side of the family, and our ancestors. I miss my daddy very, very much...and wish I had a little girl and boy to take after me, tell about our history to. But I need to be married first.

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small.
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all.
Call Alice...when she's ten feet tall!
Rocky, I do agree with legalization. That's just money better spent elsewhere, say on violent crimes, such as murder, and helping the poor! America looks bad to other countries, because we have people, and families living on the streets out here. Heck, near my Aunt, there's an entire tent city of those who were foreclosed out of their homes!
A country is judged by how they treat their poorest; we suck at that.

Rocky, you are lucky, but also are incorrect. You are fortunate you weren't locked up or fined.
Out in OC and Long Beach, you go to 215 specialist doctors, who want ALL your medical records to look over, including MRIs if available, plus the MRI reports. Normally costs $150, and you are NOT guaranteed the doctor's written suggestion for MMJ. Then, there's the '215 mmj card'.
Guess what?? It isn't regulated, and really doesn't exist as far as I know. Ergo, the doctors print out their own for additional money to their written suggestions.
Because these doctors stick their necks out, they aren't your typical doctors, hell no, Cash only, on the barrel, no insurance.
Put dat in yer pipe and schmoooke it! (joke).
Also, MMJ people are allowed to grow their own plants for personal medicinal use, and have 8 mature plants.

According to a quick look on the internet, it says that Stalin killed 43 million between 1929 and 1953. Ukrainian bodies. You can see flip through, and see photos...have a strong stomach.
THAT is what Celinski is speaking of; Stalin began killing many people, before WW2, and Katyn. Katyn was just the icing on the cake for the mass murdering creature. He's worse than Dracula was EVER portrayed.
Note: My stepfather died a grisly death last year, from Multiple Myeloma. He took 8 years to die, and he wasted away to 87 pounds. What killed him, caused his cancer? Cleaning up the dirt from us bombing Japan with the A-bombs! He had to move the contaminated dirt. Did he regret it? No; he was proud to serve America in the cleanup.

I am for decriminalization, 100%. Treat it like alcohol intoxication, same rules: can't do it while ON the job, or driving a motorized vehicle (not even a boat).
Like what was said, that would remove the criminal element, and enable the mmj patients to actually be able to reasonably afford their medications. I've personally gone over the reports for the Four Federal MMJ patients, and it's amazing that the ALS patients are still alive and functioning! I've poured over research, and the different cannaboids, the active part, help so many ailments. Like Opiods, we have Cannaboid receptors in our brains. Together, those two drugs can just radically drop Chronic Pain below a 4/10, which is truly phenomenol.
Also, if legalized, people won't be putting Ajax up their noses or smoking horse tranquilizer, and perhaps save lives.
All I can point out, is that Grandma made corn whiskey and vodka during prohibition, and she wasn't a criminal. She had 3 kids, and none ever had a criminal record. Prohibition was wrong - and the War on Drugs is wrong, because the ONLY way to stop Drug trafficking is to: Decriminalize it!

None of those specific names ring a bell. What is important, is that they were on the Polish/Russian border, Kresy! Try using that as a key word, when looking things up.
I can only tell you that most people who could fled the Russians, and came here or the EU, it was a horrible and sad time, as you well know.

Yes, they were very strong people, all of them. I wish I'd known my family left behind in Poland, only met Alka, or Elka, on my grandmother's side. Very bitter that we had it so much better. We did send many shipments of good clothes, though, for 20 years.

Everyone is entitled to their own religion, and ways. I live near one of the biggest melting pots in S. Cali, where Catholics, Christians, Orthodox Jews and Muslims all live peacefully together, with a few Indian Sikhs, and Hindus. People here cover for each other's major religious days, so all is good.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]
I started another thread, that shows how Catholic Poles and Polish Jews were persecuted side by side. It mattered not to the Nazis; they would force the Priests and the Rabbis to carry excrement, defile churches by locking people in them for days, etc. If a German Pole refused to give up his being Polish, he was also murdered.
The majority of the time, the Nazis forbade the proper burial of the dead in the towns in the cemetaries, whether they be Jewish or Catholic. They did absolutely everything they could, to destroy the Poles, but it never worked.
THAT is what no one could ever understand; you could occupy her, you could attempt to destroy her; but Poland still lived on, in the hearts and wills of her people, whether in the country or without!
Poland has always been special throughout history, when she ruled over others, and was occupied. There has always, ALWAYS been a certain Dignity with the way the Polish people did, and still do things.
My Aunt once went on how she hated Jews, but when I pinned her down on it, she had twisted logic about how they caused our family to be murdered along with them.
Between two world wars, women were raped and murdered without any provocation or reason, and forced into prostitution!! The human mind will find a reason sometimes, no matter how fantastic. My great-cousin and aunt both blamed the Jews for our Roman Catholic family members being persecuted, murdered, and suffering a slow, lingering death for many in Auschwitz. They had no logic, only emotional feelings.
I can only recall the story of that Priest, who let the Nazis take away the ill, and did nothing; then took away the homosexual, and did nothing. Then, the Nazis took away the Gypsies, and did nothing. Then, the Jews, and he did nothing. When finally the Nazis came to take him away, there was no one left to stand up for him, just like he did nothing to stand up for the rest!
And that brings me to a little town, I can't recall where; but 26 Jews and Poles were set to be executed. The German Poles refused to let the Nazis kill them all, so settled for the deaths of 3, before moving on to the next village. They were lucky to all live, actually!
In first grade, my best friend was an Orthodox Jewish girl named Patty, who was adopted by older parents. When I was finally introduced to them, I for the first time in my life actually saw the number tattoos on their wrists! I had to ask Patty what they were later. I then knew what they were on my great-cousin, when she visited America.
I was never encouraged to be prejudiced, ergo, I never learned that trait; I'm glad.

From sources online:
The swastika (from Sanskrit svástika स्वस्तिक ) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) or left-facing (卍) forms. The swastika can also be drawn as a traditional swastika, but with a second 90° bend in each arm.

The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, meaning welfare (su = "well" + asti = "he is").

No, we are NOT negative; we are pointing out FACTS that are glossed over. And, by the way, the term 'manic depressive' falls under 'bipolar disorder' and I'm definitely not that.
I actually write cheerful, silly children's stories, as a matter of fact. Perhaps Lesser, you are the one over reacting, every single time WW2 and the Holocaust are brought up.
We simply wish ALL the victims are honored, not simply one third; ALL victims, which is 18 million, not 6 million.

I concur with Celinski and Isthatu, on this one - I'd rather not take the bait lesser is taunting us all with.
Obviously you are being pretentious, espana - you are fortunate you have free speech...don't abuse it too much. I'm glad 'Hitler' is dead, and I don't even care what happened with his worthless carcass...oh, wait - they showed his bones, finally identifying him, on the history channel! Yes, the bastard was a CHICKEN, and took his own life, rather than stand trial. If you wish to call him 'Uncle', that is your prerogative - heaven help you.
Yes, M-G - there were also Russian and Ukranian victims of Stalin, but that's covered under his regime.
War is something that is not to be glorified; those who's land it's fought on, never feel any glory - only dead and the dying on the fields, of which they are often drawn into. War sucks, communist and fascist regimes whom use and abuse their people like cogs in a machine are wretched. May we all learn from this, and try to never, ever start another war as long as we live.
The growing anti-Semitism, I see it always grow the more people suffer from unemployment, and desiring to blame their bad luck on others...well, oftentimes, there isn't anyone else to blame, and we have to have a stiff upper lip, and go on, change jobs if necessary.
Many young people never had to fight for their right to stay in a country, and became too indulgent and used to having everything that their parents never had. It isn't a right to live like this, it's a privilege that's fast flying by. So oftentimes as in the past, people will pick on a race of people they perceive who are doing better than them, even if it's by a few pennies - smells like a repeat of history to me, and it doesn't smell good at all!
We all need to be responsible for ourselves, each and every one of us - and work together, not against each other. "Together we stand, divided we fall."
I concur with Celinski and Isthatu, on this one - I'd rather not take the bait lesser is taunting us all with.
Obviously you are being pretentious, espana - you are fortunate you have free speech...don't abuse it too much. I'm glad 'Hitler' is dead, and I don't even care what happened with his worthless carcass...oh, wait - they showed his bones, finally identifying him, on the history channel! Yes, the bastard was a CHICKEN, and took his own life, rather than stand trial. If you wish to call him 'Uncle', that is your prerogative - heaven help you.
Yes, M-G - there were also Russian and Ukranian victims of Stalin, but that's covered under his regime.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]
Leonardo da Vinci and William Shakespeare both weren't gay. Neither is isthatu. Elton John is Bisexual, had many girlfriends. Rock Hudson is the correct spelling - he was a handsome guy, whom gals swooned over - I sure didn't care about his personal life, lol.
And then, Freddy Mercury - the voice of an angel, whom I feel was taken too early. But there are a few musicians whom do sound like him out there. He was also bisexual, not gay. AND WHO THE F* cares!? Not my business - no one on the list paraded their sexuality near any children, nor in my home. Of course, if Elton John wasn't so old, say 30 years younger, I'd be tempted...

joepilsudski, a monument to all these brave women IS something long overdue!
I've been seriously contemplating on changing my first name to both my first and middle name(named after grandma), which is a pretty older family name, to honor grandma, who was raped by the Russians. She stayed silent for decades.
Just keeping their memory and bravery alive helps to prevent it from happening to other generations, in any country.

Fascinating...I don't feel any hatred from any Poles on here, really.
People are people.
Perhaps with keeping memories alive as we go onward, we can live in the present, and keep the future safe for our families and friends, no matter what religion they believe.
I was truly touched by an older lady the other day, who was scammed into putting her house up as collateral for someone she hardly knew. All she wants right now, is a few people to go to New Mexico, and help her pack a few belongings from her house there, and bring them back. Before I even knew her religion, I offered to give her a few days of my time, purely because she's nearly 80 years old, and her children won't help her - but more than willing to sell her house for her.
When you are that age, a few items, books mean much to you. An elderly woman wanting her things, who am I to deny a few days of my time that will help bring her so much joy, so easily given?
That's how I feel for so many people who've endured so much over the past century - ever since I was a small child, I've given them my time many times a year, simply listening. For most, that's all they want, someone to remember them, recall their stories, and pass them down. Even my Jewish friends since I can recall that were Elderly, always been the same: tell our stories, good, bad, indifferent. We were here; we were ALIVE. Don't forget us, okay?
It's just that simple. I've enjoyed listening to all of these people, even the old guy playing Jazz, who thought I'd be afraid of him, simply because of the color of his skin.
People - are people. Everyone has a story, and it should be recalled, either by their children, their grandchildren, or strangers who cared enough to pause and listen.
That simple.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]
Bah, I tan dark...I was called a rather nasty name when we moved to the Midwest from California. Was held at the California/Mexico border, mistaken for Mexican as a young teen - rather bizarre thing to go through, but heaps of comprehension.
Come full gamut, being called a 'Vampire' because I'm now pale, and stay inside during the heat of the day. Didn't anyone say that tanning is bad for you!? I also pointed out to the cretins who dared to call me a vampire that my family helped to lock up Elizabeth Bathory. But then, I'd be called prejudiced, if I named the group who call me 'Vampire.' I actually tested the word around two ethnic groups out here, and discovered that its ingrained as deeply as the fear as snakes & spiders. I chose to remove myself from being around those people who accused me out of fear earlier this this month.
I find their children are more open-minded.
But I can tell you that "Multi-culturalism" doesn't exist everywhere!!
What is wrong with the world? Who knows - people are trigger-happy to name call, even when there isn't a reason. At least I learned about prejudism young, and know that only fools are that way along with being antisemitic.
