i will probably get some flack for this post - but never mind.
Its really sad that many people including stoners, categorise MJ users as barely coherent half- wits who can't cobble together a grammatical sentence using appropriate syntax.
The fact of the matter is that MJ users are a fairly representative sample of the population in general. There are many high flying and successful stoners, it's just that they choose to remain under the radar as they feel they have too much to lose, considering where the law stands right now in most jurisdictions.
As eP said in his post yesterday, we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard to make life easier for the tireless folk who are trying to get MJ legalised.
Sloppy writing/spelling is just that, it's got nothing to do with being a stoner. "My 2 cents"
I'm Dyslexic (I have had full psychological report and have attended "The Dyslexic Institute" to learn coping mechanisms and strategies to deal with it).
You would not believe how much time I spend googling words when writing posts. Sometime I am the first to reply to a post and by the time I get it finished there will have been 8 other posts posted, though often not as verbose as mine.
I am not a small man and typing with what are effectively sausage fingers doesn't help, god only knows how anyone sends a text message on a smart phone.
Many stoners are highly intelligent and articulate with a wealth of knowledge, forethought and insight in to many technical subjets.
Sitting in front of a PC late into the night and my spelling may get a little more cranky but hey that's life.
Having said that I still love "Rickyisms" from trailer park boys and a whole host of stoner comdey.
