View Full Version : 92% of IT workers have smoked pot.
Rotifer 08-01-2002, 01:41 PM Almost 92% of the people that work in the technology and telecommunications industries answered "yes" to the survey's question asking if they had ever smoked cannabis.

Hmmm... now I wonder how many lied. Article from the BBC website yesterday - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2163416.stm
Despite being the biggest group of users, technology workers were not the most regular smokers of cannabis. About 22% of those questioned who work in the teaching profession said they tried the drug on almost a daily basis.
Look at the surveyed folks though. One thousand people aged 18-35 across the UK. I think the number would significantly decrease in the US.
Rotifer 08-01-2002, 01:50 PM I don't see how that age group differs significantly in the U.S. Having traveled extensively in Britain and the U.S., I would say pot is more readily available here. Granted, that is a small group.

Sorry... j/k :)
ned patter 08-01-2002, 01:55 PM 13 year olds smoke that rubbish.
Americans have it but they got it taken off them before they get the chance to smoke it..
The last time i tried that stuff i got all dizzy, disgusting.
Not before long we will be talking about crack instead of hash if junkys get there own way once again.

Rotifer 08-01-2002, 02:04 PM What about :fork:?
Oh, i think the rate of fork use is much lower.
Studio64 08-01-2002, 02:08 PM I just found the irony in the URL from the BBC

"hi/technology" :D :pimp:
Andrew 08-01-2002, 02:09 PM Just say no to :fork: !!!!
Rotifer 08-01-2002, 02:13 PM Not before long we will be talking about crack instead of hash
Don't worry Ned, I don't think crack and computers go well together. The computer is probably the first thing to go when you run out of crack money. Well, considering this crowd that may not be the case. :buck: And, hash is different than pot .. doesn't hash have opium in it? No wonder you became dizzy.

Nope. You're thinking of a 'snow cone' :)
Hash Definition:
"Cannabis resin" means the separated resin, whether crude or purified, obtained from the cannabis plant (1961 Convention, art. 1 para. 1).
Certain common street names
Charas Hash Khif **** <- 4 letter word for backside biscuits
H Hashish Pot
Hmm oddly I never thought Pot or H were hash (Pot = dope | H = Heroin)

Er, same here. Though I'll admit to having a good time in college.

JUNKYS HAVE GOT CANNIBUS LEGALIZED IN THE UK WELL NO ONE CARES If ANYONE USES IT BUT NEXT ALL JUNKYS ARE GOING TO WANT OTHER STUFF LEGALIZED..
webarama 08-01-2002, 06:33 PM Dumpling head :D :D
Thanks for that. Just for the record I don't live in the US, I am in Australia.
Yes, 13 year olds smoke it, so do 14 year olds, 15 year olds etc. In fact I am sure there are cannibis users across every age group, not sure why you picked out 13 year olds specifically, unless you were trying to make some kind of insinuation that because 13 year olds do it then it must be in some way a passing fad or juvenile in some way.
And no, I have never had it taken off me in my life (been smoking for 17 years).
I am glad to see your government has some brains, it's about time others woke up also. Banning cannibis DOESN'T WORK, simple as that.
ned patter 08-01-2002, 06:54 PM Well just to hit up something:
Tomy blair is the biggest fool in the world, not only because of this hashy thing but all other things..
It's not hard to stop crime and he's not even attempting to stop it and the uk's not a big place but obviously too big of him, maybe the shetland islands will do him.

I know I have only meant 4 ppl in the 6+yrs of IT work that DID NOT smoke pot!!! (here in US) Hell even the semi-big boys at motorola here would fire a joint up w me during our smoke hour... err I mean lunch.
okihost 08-02-2002, 10:02 AM Hey Willis! It's PUFF PUFF PASS :pimp.
Rotifer 08-02-2002, 11:35 AM It is funny that the same people who argue the evils of cannabis and alcohol have few qualms about abusing their bodies in equally damaging ways. Say, scarfing down junk food or avoiding exercise.
ned patter 08-02-2002, 11:56 AM Well that's true rotifer.
You should listen to Rotifer lads, he's cycled the world.
He's a man of the world like me.
