"2. bullets can bounce off carpeted floors and hit somone in the back"
Don't want to spoil your party, but bullets actually can and often do ricochet off of hard surfaces, especially if it strikes at an oblique angle. It seems someone here learned all they know about guns and the behavior of fired bullets from the movies. -

Good ones BatCountryGrl! Here are some more:
- The correct First Aid for a hit-and-run victim with a shattered spine is to crowd around him and lift him into a sitting position (Say, did you just hear a snap?)
- You can make a person unconscious by grazing them with the butt of a pistol, making a pop sound. You can instantly revive them by sprinkling them with a few drops of water.
- Upstanding jurors won't tolerate pot-induced insanity, but have no problem suffocating the whole room with second-hand tobacco smoke.
- According to Dr. Carroll and his friend, group sex is more vicious than mass murder by axe.
- As long as both of your lawyers agree, you can be committed to an insane asylum for the rest of your life. (Then again, the odds of two lawyers aggreeing on something make this theory impossible to test)
- Jumping out of a window will cause your legs to fall off before you hit the ground. (Check out the suicide leap frame-by-frame)
Where would we be without the wisdom of Reefer Madness?
You mentioned the different-coloured smoke. On the DVD track, the producers mentioned that they intentionally made everyone's smoke a different colour. It's supposed to symbolize that everyone's high is different.

I watched this after watching the recent musical paraody. I'm having difficulty believing the original its self isn't some kind of a satire. I've met around a couple hundred weed smokers (at least that's roughly how many I know smoke) and I've not been killed, framed, seduced or killed anyone yet. I'm smoking a joint right now.

"Just being in the presense of a pot smoker is as bad as committing murder."
No, but being around particularly heavy users of marijuana is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. The smell, the group smoke-outs, the Floyd, the loud and silly behavior, the extreme paranoia, and the potato chip crumbs EVERYWHERE may make me want to commit aggravated assault, but not murder. If I never hear another bunch of bleary-eyed stoners sitting around discussing the merits of "kind bud" versus evil alcohol, it'll be too soon, because if there's one thing worse than nonstop pot smoking, its the accompanying arguments posited by self-righteous jackasses justifying it. Smoke banana peels laced with PCP for all I care, just do it somewhere else, and FOR GOODNESS' SAKE don't tell me about it. -

I consider myself to be a heavy potsmoker and I don't recognise myself in your description at all. Pink Floyd? Please, you're so stereotyping. Ever considered those guy you hung out with were just loud and annoying because of their personality, not the weed?
A group of drunken teenagers can be way louder and a lot more annoying.
The only thing I can give you is the smell. But I like it. Smells good.
"arguments about evil alcohol"?? What are you talking about, I love alcohol.
"Justifying it?" No need to justify it when there's nothing wrong with it, Jesus. It's the people that say weed is evil that need to provide evidence (which they still can't, they've had 70 years time), not the other way around.
Stop streotyping everone that smokes weed just because you know some a$$holes that do.. -

So after watching this movie I just wonder:
Was there ever a time when people generally handed out free joints? I mean everyone in the party gets one for free! Holy crap, wasn't this during the Great Depression?
This movie has more BS in it than an Oliver Stone "non-fiction" movie (like THE DOORS or JFK). -

Know what the best part of the entire movie is? The actual way the crazy piano player smokesnot only does he go into the closet and look maniacal, but he also puffs as quickly as he possibly can. In fact, I'm pretty sure that no one in this movie actually inhaled, which would probably reduce the effectiveness of the pot. I've never even see someone smoke a cigarette that fast, even some of my friends who don't inhale.
The only thing this movie did was make me jones like nobody's business.

by the way, is that dealers are evil. Didn't you notice that most of the "evil" that was attributed to drugs wasn't actually perpetrated by the kids involved, but by the dealers?

I've been offered a puff for free, but never a whole joint.
That reminds me of a funny "accident" that happeed to a friend of mine. He left 20 grams unattended on the kitchen table and discovered that cats LOVE the taste of weed. There was barely any left but the cat was sure happy.

Able to play even whilst twisting round and clearly not touching the keys.
I learned that if you tap someone with a gun not only do they pass out but they also believe everything they are told when they wake up.
