Marijuana use = sexy women?

[Guest]

ok may bee back door was not appropriate..but i have been smoking long before it was medical for me...i believe it should be legal........im not against medical marijuana..but i am for recreational marijuana for sure..its a wonderful plant that every one should enjoy whether sick or not..peace

Yes Brainthor, I can see your point, but as a medical user, I kind of resent that "back-door legalization" bit! Cannabis MUST be legalized for medical users- the people who NEED it! Or don't you give a flying f*** that it kills pain for so many people?

Yeah, it would be nice if you could get high without breaking the law, but walk a mile in a medical users shoes (especially when we are out of cannabis!) Take a look at the link in my sig! READ IT! Just the titles would be enough. MS, Alzheimer's, migraine, cancer, arthritis, ALS and SO much more. People with these problems NEED cannabis- you just want it! They NEED it now and, as one of them, I am thankful that MEDICAL marijuana is available. - Granny

Hey dude, stop trying to incite an argument. We all think it should be legal. What you don't understand is that Cannabis is kept illegal due to the stereotype that it is given and it's users. The DEA and it's supporters constantly try to convince the public that it has no valuable use, that Cannabis makes you stupid, dumb, horny, and fat. They make million dollar tv ads that lie and cheat and further spread ignorance to maintain the status quo of the war on Cannabis.

Many of the same dollars that fund these commercials and propaganda are used to make other media such as lame ass hollywood movies portaying Cannabis users in general as stupid, dumb, smiley, fat idiots who are always dazed and confused.


Meanwhile, many people who love the herb and know of it's benefits, values, medicinal properties (be it insomnia, lack of euphoria (depression) whatever Aids), health benefits and harmlessness, are being thrown in jail, fired, ridiculed, beaten and even killed in the world because of the mass hysteria and lies which spawned draconian laws to punish Cannabis consumers.

Furthermore you, as a Cannabis consumer, should be very worried and focused 100% on changing this bullshit and doing something for those millions of people who live in paranoia daily just trying to feel better or heal.

In my opinion, putting naked girls that look like hookers next to Cannabis further creates an image of sexual deviousness associated to our demonized herb. What would your mom say if you tried to convince her Cannabis was a wonderful herb that should be legalized, then you pull out your porn calender with a ghetto bitch and a blunt in her hand. How does that help our image, how will that help legalize our plant?

Oh, that's right, it's too much trouble....it won't ever happen. And with your attitude of comparing it with Ecstasy, you obviously haven't done any research on how many people have died on "Ecstasy" whatever the fuck that is, explain how heroine mixed with PCP or speed is medicinal? what a dumb thing to say, did you mean mdma? sheeesh

dropped...i can agree that we disagree

 

[PoppinFresh]

But I want to know, if we're going to have the scantly-clad hot women, where are the scantly clad men in the marijuana magazine too, huh?

Why not start your own? I am not into that kind of thing personally (scantily clad guys) but I have enough know-how to start a magazine. I'd be willing to help you if you were serious!

You can call it....

Weed and Men!​

Be blatant! Why not!?!?

I know I said before it's a man's world (just me bein an arrogant man lol) but at this point in our evolution the truth is that it's anyone's game if you're willing to take the risk. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on what you think, we men love to take risks at a rate that puts us in the grave faster lol!

FYI: Ladies, if we ever end up together, I will buy your feminine hygiene products but I'll be damned if I will risk myself being seen with such a magazine! Get it yourself!

 

[PoppinFresh]

I am kind of with Brainthor on this - give or take a few points. Unfortunately, there is a truth to both sides of the nature of marijuana. For some people, marijuana is the socially fun substance that a lot of Hollywood movies are based on. For a few people, it is the dazing and confusing drug that's vilified in the press! For a group of us, it's a key that opens the door to creativity. For others, it's a medical necessity for survival. These are things that we will have to accept. It all depends on what you're getting and how you use it. We, the people, use marijuana for different reasons and experience different aspects of it. For a person like me, I am all of the above - get fucked up with friends, zone out in front of a movie, puff little before a project, or a damn good sleeping pill!

The reason I bring up all of that is to point out that regardless of what negative or positive stereotypes that exist, a good many of them are quite true! So, why is there such a focus on the negative aspects? It's those non-medical aspects that make marijuana exciting. Obviously, this is why the media is so skewed toward these relatively negative concepts.

But, the real question: Why aren't we DOING anything about it? Instead of complaining about marijuana not being seen by more people as something serious and necessary, what have YOU (generally speaking) done to bring the serious nature to light? Do you donate your time or your money to specific causes? Are you part of any organizations? business developments? political movements? Would you put yourself on the line if some group decided to smoke marijuana in front of the White House? I understand a lot of us can't do as much as we'd like for whatever reason but figure out something because going at each other isn't going to help the general cause at all!

On another note, I am somewhat pissed at the medicinal marijuana community at times because I feel as though, once it's legalized for medical purposes, the general consensus is, "Fuck you! We got what we want! PEACE!"

I am with Brainthor on this one because marijuana ought to be legalized... PERIOD!

Concentrating only on the medicinal qualities may get us all fucked in the ass because that will still criminalize, or rather leave criminalized, a large, possibly larger, group of people outside of the medicinal marijuana community. Imagine if some poor sap leaves his medical marijuana card at home to pick up a prescription of afghani bullrider (shout out to Michelle Rainey) and the cops catch his ass and decide to fuck him in the ass anyway because they can and he ends up dying in custody from the stress! It's unlikely but I'd rather not find out how likely it could be.

We would all benefit is marijuana were legalized completely and not some half-assed attempt that barely gives medical users extra consideration and still leaves a drug war intact that continues to destroy lives in and outside of this nation.

Sorry i misunderstood the question. This sexy woman on magazine covers is bad I don't know what a pretty man looks like but the women on magazines are quite sexy. This sends the wrong message to young girls and women. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. Self confidence is very important. A confident person is always beautiful ....maybe

 

[skar]

When I buy a weed magazine, I want to read about and look at pictures of weed, not "sexy" women.

i hear you but that's the same for the one who buy a car magazine, he go for a mag with cars pictures, and tips/news on the car world and ended up with a hot girl picture one page on three...

at this point, some people stick up to the hot girlz pics, some stick up with the car pics & infos they need lol.

Idem for weeds mag', some people just need the plants/growing photos & infos plus the articles etc.....but it seems they are more people who want the same infos with added pin-up all along the magazine...

Magazine like high times, skunk and others think about that very simply : how many mag' they sell if they are hot woman in ? and how many if they are not in ?

now you know why they are in...

my 2 cents (and sorry for the crappy english writing)

 

[teddybud]

so that means you group me with the bad image type then? wow... lame... glad to know your views are so clear.

Wow, I was being sarcastic really. If I was going to start a magazine (which I am not, as I have zero time to do that in) it would be about marijuana cultivation, legalization issues and the like only. No sexy stuff for my magazines. I agree that it makes it harder to be taken seriously when you put your argument next to some almost naked sexpot...

I agree with you most out of anyone who has responded to this thread, but most people have some valid points behind their arguments. I am a combination of the kinds of marijuana users, as I use it recreationally and medicinally. But up until now I have kept it under my own descretion, meaning I don't have a medical card or anything like that. I haven't weighed out the pros and cons of getting one... Plus I am all for legalization of adult recreational use.

 

[Pops]

Queenof green, I don't personally read those magazines as I am looking for med info. If you ladies object to naked ladies so much and want to see a few scantily-clad men, I will gladly peel to my knickers for you. Just be prepared to vomit in your stash box. Nude pics of me will be available by PM for those ladies who are anorexic and want to shed a few more pounds.

 

[Canna_Blissful]

Does it ever make anyone else irritated that all of the magazines/publications out there that support marijuana usage and cultivation objectify women so much? I'm not saying that ICMag does this at all, I'm talking about things like Cannabis Culture, High Times and Skunk Magazine. The latter in specific I actually purchased a copy of despite the girl posing on the cover, only the read her article and be greatly disappointed. The other articles disappointed me greatly as well. What is up with these 'bongsluts' (to even quote the magazine)?
I don't understand it...

"bongsluts" ?Uh, maybe they should use the bong for smoking...lol Obviously what they're using it for is wrong with a name like that.... Anyhow,I don't get why that stigma is out there either....but I noticed on all the forums alot of guys are asking about sexy stoner chicks... ?? I don't get it either...

 

[Canna-KaliSpice]

Just donate $10 a month to Norml.

Buy Cannabis Culture to support Marc Emery and the broader aspect of legalization.

The end will justify the means. When we legalize our plant (of many uses), then we will no longer look back and decide whether the magazines were lewd, vulgur, profane, dirty, immoral, or distasteful.

We have a goal, do whatever it takes to complete it!

It's like when you go to cast your vote. You like a candidate, but the candidate lacks in many areas except one. He/She may be a republican (such as Ron Paul), but in the end it shouldn't matter because if they will bring us to our end goal, that's all that matters.

I buy skunk and cannabis culture mainly for the good growing advice and columns. I know I'm supporting the movement by purchasing CC because those funds further the campaign of activists around the world.

Peace,
Canna

we are NOT trying to be dificult . . . but is Emery really supporting anybody but himself and his legal battle at this point?

we've read where he's behind on his taxes . . . and getting hit financially from a number of different sides . . . so he's living on a shoestring . . . at least that's what's reported . . .

we don't want to join the legions of Emery bashers . . . and we can't call ourselves "fans" either . . . but we aren't kidding ourselves about his legal battle . . . it really is a critical / pivotal thing for the community . . . if the US get's possession of Marc it literally spells the end of seed sales in north america . . . and likely would threaten any shipments to the US . . .




sorry all of that was off topic to a great extent . . . we are in agreement with the principle that it's unnecessary . . . and even harmful to the cause in long term . . . to have the "spokesmen" (that's what magazines end up being) sell their wares with sex . . . especially by making sex objects of women . . .

we're no prudes . . . we enjoy a very limited amount of adult entertainment . . . that's not objectionable to us itself . . . but "pandering" to the lowest common selling point (sex) . . . certainly doesn't help legitimize anything . . . and our community is in desperate need of leaders . . .

Mature Sexy Stoner Chicks, what a lovely vision, naked Mother Earth muff, in the garden, hot and sweaty in a patch of mj, doin a dead dance variation...................Ahhhhh...................then in a pile of budskis we get down......................ahhhh...............what's not to like.....?!!


Oh, the mags, well, those aren't my idea of stoner chicks, young enuff to cost too much to **** with, but for the mags, I quit buyin em long ago for that and other reasons...............

 

[indicalover]

I believe that the scantily clad women are in those mags to sell to the younger crowd. I would prefer to see the bud pics than a naked chick in a pot mag. When I was 18 it may have been a different story

Jack, there is nothing wrong with being a recreational smoker. Basically anybody not smoking for medical purposes would be a recreational user. Yes a lot of these people use MJ similarly to alcohol, but that seems like a normal view point of a recreational user that also drinks. That does not mean that a rec user feels any different about legalization. Some do, but not all.

I do think that even if it is not legalized for everyones use that it should be able used for medicinal purposes legally, but in general I think that it should be legal for all. It would need to be regulated, IE can't be wasted high and driving around, you would need to be a certain age, things like that. I am sure some don't agree, but realistically if it is ever legalized it will be regulated.

Some magazines are so shitty (example: SoftSecrets-italian version) that the only good thing left in them are the pics.. naked girls posing in ganja fields and budshots are the only good things... the rest is just wrong advices and rude arrougant presumptuous comments directed to non-expert growers.

i agree: sometimes their comments at their readers' plant shots amaze me, they jump to quick conclusions in the most arrogant and stupid way.. and for no reason.

 

[EZlistener]

being a 38yr old male i don't mind the chick pics being in the mags, soft secrets has plenty but is also an excellent read but it wouldn't bother me one bit if they did stop doing it, i read for the knowledge of the plant and growing purposes but like its already been said sex sells. its the way we are perceived as a whole i suppose, i hate that

 

[Closet Funk]

There isn't nothing more sexy then a down to earth hot stoner chick. I'll share my kind bud and thoughts with one anyday.

 

[Mister Postman]

Thread is a bit old, but I'll respond as it is something that bothered me about handing money over to these larger marijuana mags who feel the need to fill every page in the mag with woman..

I am a male who loves naked beautiful woman, but there is a place for that.. I'd love to be able to have my pile of hightimes or skunk next to my toilet bowl for my reading enjoyment without my gf/family knocking me for finding interest in something clearly marketed towards 13-16 year old pubescent boys. My gf doesn't mind the marijuana to much, but she seems to mind the stereotypes attached, and advertised clearly in the mags, and other publications.

Sex has found it's way into most advertising, but every page, every item is pushing it IMO... To see a woman standing in front of a grow box, wrapping her legs around a bud-swelling fertilizer etc. is a bit much, but at least the product is for those growers-smokers reading the mag..... Recently though they started to go further and advertising products with clearly no value to the grower/smoker who reads the mags, but clearly marketed towards those who buy the mags for the pin-up woman themselves... The FLESHLIGHT!!! Yes, a masturbatory tool being sold in a marijuana mags is sickening IMO, and just taken to damn far for the almighty dollar.. Don't get me wrong I saw these items growing up every time I opened a hustler or similar, but to find it in a marijuana mag is just wrong IMO and clearly off topic of the mag, unless the topics of these mags has changed from marijuana to sex products/porno.. It like these people contacted Hightimes, and as long as the fleshlight opening (looks like a mouth) had a joint in it, it was fair game for the mag... If human ejaculate was being used for fertilizer that's one thing, but it's clearly a masturbation device being sold in a marijuana growers-smokers magazine, and IMO thats to friggin off topic.. I mean how can you grow good buds when your head is all clouded with woman LOL..

I don't mind some sexual content in the mags, but it's gotten more, and more, and now to the point the objects they are advertising/selling have no value to those who purchase/buy/read the mags solely for learning more about marijuana, and clearly marketed towards the sex trade.
