Biggest crock of steamy shit I've read in a long time.

[J pipes 71]

I know you are aware about cowards but it doesn't hurt to remind you again brother @ironwill , even in blind anger always assume everyone is carrying lead this days. Lost a friend that way, my buddy is a judoka blackbelt and knows how to fight but gunned down by a scared 17 yr old who panicked when he got manhandled after a road altercation.

I think this is a new trend your buddy isn’t the first or last ppl are cowards now and more reckless than ever. They might start the problem than as soon as they see your competent in defending yourself and they probly are gonna get shitcanned out come the weapons. This isn’t back in the day ppl are ridiculous now more than ever. Google UFC fighter Ryan jimmo got in an argument in Edmonton guy backpedals so he walks away not paying attention I guess thought It was over guy mowed him down with his truck and killed him. Another Time my buddy got in a fight at a night club in Toronto he was not the aggressor at all he threw a over hand I believe guy poked him in the upper bicep by his armpit cut his arterie he almost bled out. Like actually if his brother wasn’t there and compressed the wound and got him to hospital literally in the nick of time he would’ve been gone. Oh ya and this was 2 years ago his hand has made progress but it will still never close fully. The point of my story here is walk away hell even run away!!!! nvm sticking around unless ur defending ur family. I don’t care if your the biggest baddest mf out there one little poke or trigger pull it will not end well. Martial arts are a sport they’re cool but they’re a sport they don’t farewell against weapons. Those are just two things I could type a bunch more but you get the idea. Any martial arts that preach self defence are cringey if bad ppl wanna hurt you I doubt very much it’s gonna be fisticuffs.

Yup, i hear you...At the same time if everyone cowers, where does that leave society? I know what you are saying and absolutely is true, BUT wtf, we are letting the weak weapon carrying losers get more powerful..Stand for something, or fall for anything...I prefer to stand, and i am getting wiser, and mkeeping an eye on my back side and i just will never walk away from a bully, or a rager that is going out of HIS way to insult, disrespect or cause mharm to me and mine...Not a tuff guy, i just handle myself well in most situations, and not all situations are violent, many times talks, or rager going off and i just happen to be in the way...But at the end of the day, we should not be getting weaker as a society, this is when folks need to stick together against the aggressors and fucken bully ragers...BUT if any doubt or sense of a weapon, stay aware and stay safe!!..I am developing techniques at my ripe older age to slow down and walk away much more frequently. Its been awhile since anything has come right out and required me to do anything..Edmonton is becoming a fucked up place and i saty on my farm most times, but when i do go to town, i seem to see and come across the strangest fuckers in the city...I watched a guy pull a lady from his car and hit her with his fist right in the face, then she spit on him and her false teeth flew out and then she grabbed a beer bottle from the passenger side and smashed his side window...I watched and did not get out and help the lady and it bugged me all day, but it was the right thing to do...I had another guy give me the finger and yell blue blazes at me as i was waiting to turn in a parking lot with m,y one ton truck and it is not easy some locations, and i was sitting with turn signal on awaiting fellow driver to leave the spot so i could get in as he was backing up. Another guy started losing his shit on me for zero reason..Normally i would have gotten out and fucked up his day or week...BUT i stayed in truck and he got out and started walking my way...I pulled up my phone and no video on just said welcome to my youtube channel, what are we going to see today?? Me saving your life and letting you have a good day, or me beating the fuck out of you with verification you are the aggressor and i have no choice but defend myself..He ran back to his truck...It worked and i stayed seated anmd once again, my wife was with me and laughed after it was over and said good job HUnny!!...lol..I am trying, and many times zero is required for a fight, it used to be it takes 2 to Tango, not so much anymore, fucking whack jobs...I am taking more fighting classes to stay in shape as i hate cardio, and it also seems to help my control at times..
But we cannot all stand aside and say they may have a weapon, that is becoming an excuse for the weak as well, stand together, fuck the bullies...

I agree with you on all accounts.

Last time I “walked away” was 2 winters ago driving to work around 7:30 am in -30. A douche bag was tail gating me on the highway for a few miles. I slowed down and pulled to the right to let him pass, but he slowed down as well. I tried a couple times to allow him to pass me easily on a dotted line, but he didn’t. So I touched brakes to get him off my ass. He turned his brights on behind me while tail gating more. He finally passed me. I looked over and wanted to block his path so he couldn’t pass me, but I almost forgot I had my 2 or 3 year old son in the back seat.

By the look of the guy, wouldn’t have been a difficult fight for me.. but -30, pitch black and my son with me on a highway with no one else around

All my statements go out the window if i had a wee one with me, i will never do something at that point..Good Call AI, as your boy is more important than the prick looking for a stir of the pot, or if being that out of sorts, maybe he was hunting....One never knows these days...

as was said abov 20 years ago I would feel ok confronting the guy even with my son with me. Now, no way when my son is in the back seat.

I also feel though that 20 years ago, this shit just didn't happen. The number of absolute assholes and crackheads has gone throgh the roof.

That is the ticket my friend, 20 years ago it was very rare and if there were a person or two who was a danger they were identified and no one strayed near them and most times they would disappear after awhile, or they would move on ..Either way it was much different 20 years ago, much, much different..
The drug problem is beyond belief now and hey in BC, you can now have on person up to 2.5 g of meth, phentanyl, crack, coke, heroin etc with no criminal charges now...WTF?? I dont have an issue with weed, or zoomers and the like, but this is next level bullshit experimenting on people it almost seems like..

The amount of addicts is getting crazy. You can barely walk down town anymore without some weirdo scream at you tweaked out.
My grandson plays a game of how many crackheads can we see while walking to a resturant.

I have no idea what the solution is. But on the bright side my stepson has really cleaned himself up. He’s still a bit weird, has to take pills for the rest of his life so he doesn’t hear voices as much, but doesn't drink, smoke weed or meth anymore. I’ve been giving him a shift at work to make some money. (he worked for me for 8 years and is a fully trained butcher).

So there is hope, because he was as bad as you could get.

The whole drug problem is a giant complicated problem. Yup, you can make them illegal, but sending all offenders (users, sellers and smugglers) to jail isn't going to fix it. I believe sending sellers and smugglers of drugs straight to jail for min 10 years. But what the hell do you do with all the addicts? Jail might possibly sober some up, but vast majority do not. We also don't have the space to house all the users, sellers and smugglers either.

I honestly don't know the solution for the users..

Fuck me.. I try to tell my students how drugs can lead to psycological disorders and they just don't get it or can't think long term..

Last time I did first aid, the instructor was saying there is TONS of research out there showing weed can lead to schizophrenia. I think they are talking very heavy pot use, but people even think you can not cause harm to yourself with weed.

Good on you for being support for the stepson.. I was told a state about the % of people addicted to meth who actually kick their addiction and it was insanely low..

I am not sure how low, but low enough that I had kinda given up on him.

My brother smoked crack with him once, and said he jones for it for weeks after. Told me to stay the hell away of that stuff. my brother holed himself up in his apartment for a month, not going out or anything. It scared the shit out of him.

I see the effects of daily weed useage on teenagers at work. I have hired hundreds of students over the years and the ones who smoke the most, normally do not as well in life. They are usually depressed, and have anxiety. You got the odd one who does just fine like my sausage maker, but he is forgetful, as bad as I am and I fell 20 feet and smashed my head on a concrete floor to get my brain damage, lol.

But I’m not against weed, but in moderation just like alcohol. Getting drunk every day isn’t good for you either.

Yup, we are not going to solve it...BUT the answer is not to let it become legal...IMHO we should not be legalizing, or decriminalizing Meth, fentanyl, Heroin and the like...I do not know the answer, BUT...I know many, many people and i can tell you...Many of the folks i know with drug issues are and have gotten worse since this..A job i just left has been overcome with Meth and fentanyl...Literally on site i was director of 2 months after i left had search and seizures as a supervisor walked into a Haul truck, to see an operator for update and there was a rock of meth and a pipe right on the dash, like nothing...Then he called the law and they came in with dogs and locker searches revealed 70 of 300 employees on one site had drigs in their lockers, and all got tested and 70 plus were terminated. I looked after 6 sites and they are now all on watch now...In BC Its growing and growing..

Weed can't lead to schizophrenia; what it does is causes a first psychotic break in people who are genetically prone to schizophrenia. The psychotic break would have happened eventually, but the pot gave it a kickstart. Same as any hallucinogen. We have to be on the lookout for kids who may be showing prodromal signs of schizophrenia and make sure we steer them away from drugs—quite the challenge.
As for decriminalization, I feel we need to take a long hard look at Belgium, Estonia, Australia, Mexico, Uruguay, the Netherlands and Portugal and take what we feel will work best for us.

Agreed on the weed part and psychotic breakdowns...There are beneficial drugs out there aplenty, Shrooms, DMT, LSD, MDMA, etc...BUT they are still being researched, Meth, Fentanyl, heroin and the like have many, many years of research knowing it is a death trap and will affect your life in a negative fashion when abused...As we know fentanyl is a medicine, that turns to something evil once the line is crossed on dose and duration..

We must be cautious in handling harder drugs and not making them more accessible. Decriminalizing 'may' allow us to control some of the flow to the streets, but it is a slippery slope that can't be accomplished overnight. I certainly don't have the answers, and I worked in addictions. Hated it.

Agreed and kudos to you, that would be a tough career watching gains turn to relapses...BUT i am sure you helped some out and made it worth it...Tough job that one would be on the heart and feelings..

Extensive use of meth will cause it for sure. My stepson isn’t the only meth user I know with this issue. Usually they have used extacy as well. But you would know this already.

Ecstasy is a fascinating drug, but I won't delve into it because of the no rec drug talk.

See I was told it's now being shown to cause it, more specifically in older adults after years of heavy use. This was just first aid instructors, notthing more.. But they said this is what the data and research is starting to show.

It's not that simple because factors such as the amount of drug used, the age at first use, and genetic vulnerability have all been shown to influence psychosis. I haven't read a single paper linking heavy pot use to mental illness as we age. Still, there is lots of stuff about CIP (Cannabis-Induced Psychosis), not schizophrenia which is a separate disorder. DSM-5 categorizes cannabis-induced psychotic disorder as a substance-induced psychotic disorder. Get rid of the pot the symptoms go away. If hallucinogens cause a first psychotic break in people with prodromal schizophrenia, the symptoms don't go away (schizophrenia) but can be alleviated with meds. If I recall correctly, meds can paradoxically affect CIP, causing anxiety and depression on top of the psychosis.
You have piqued my curiosity, and I will try to find articles on the topic.
