well i dont smoke weed anyways, so i guess i wouldnt know cause its just a figure of speach(i think its stupid, i mean why earth would you want to get high fry brain cells and prolly end up having a child that you cant even support) say wat you want about weed, it isnt as cool as you think it is.

wtf? smoking weed gets you pregnant? hahahaha. you gotta learn some shit man, it doesnt kill brain cells, doesnt genetically mutate you, doesnt make you kill people. dont belive that shit you see on those commercials. im not advocating the use of marijuana, all im saying is, learn the FACTS, not the bullshit, and then make your own decision, dont let your parents or your school or the govt. make it for you. pot CAN cause short term memory loss (meaning youll have your child hood memories, but maybe youll forget your locker combonation sometimes), but that does not become permanent until after 5 years of habitual everyday use. if you smoke less than once a day, youre fine. did you know that cigarettes alone kill more people in a week then all illegal drugs do in a year combined. crack, coke, acid, heroin, meth, all of em, combined, kill about 10,000 people a year, while cigarettes off about 500,000 a year.notice how i didnt inlcude weed in that drug category, cuz its not a drug. think about it: the part you smoke is the flower of the cannabis plant. now how can a flower be a drug? this reminds me of sex ed so much, people are too scared to tell the ****in truth, so we end up with adults who think that masturbating makes you go blind and grow hairs on your palms. the reason that pot is illegal is monetary. pot is a naturla medecine, one that could take the place of many man made medecines. giant drug companies such as bristol meyer squibb and pfizer produce such drugs (which arent even as good as marijuana, and have much worse side effects), they stand to lose a great deal of money if people could just grow a pot plant instead of forking over hundreds of dollars a week for thse prescription drugs. these companies give very large sums of money to the govt., so that unlce sam outlaws the competition, cuz if the drug companies lose money, so does the govt. see how it all works now?

just get your laundry list together and get an estimate for material cost..

thats how much it is....then if you have to adjust your list to meet ur budget...also u dont have to get the materials from one place..shop around and talk to friends...u might find a bargin out there.

oldscoolelement-

i had to create a profile to give you major props on the post.
your knoledge of marijuana is very impressive. It sounds like
something that i would've typed.

It pisses me off when people run their mouths about how bad pot is
when they haven't done any research on the subject. 500,000 people
die every year from smoking ciggarettes. Zero people have died from
smoking pot. Thats right zero, nobody has ever died in the history of time from smoking pot. So why is it illegal?, becuase of people like skate or try.

You can build a 4ft high 8ft wide mini ramp for under $500 or less depending on how resourcefull you are. I recomend shopping around for wood prices from various lumber suppliers. You should never buy all you lumber from one supplier unless they can offer you a deal or free delivery. I recommend checking out buildaramp.com were you can find a 54 page guide called The Beginners Guide to Building Ramps, in it is a template you can use to call around to diffrent suppliers and then compare prices. Along with tons of photos, illustrations and over 15 years of ramp building knowledge.

my friend built a micro pipe for under $200 and it even has masonite on it (like skatelite except njot waterproof its only like $8 a sheet) the only problem is that itsin his basement and he doesnt want to move it to his yard because he thinks it will get ruined by the moisture. hes very protective with his stuff
