Only if they manifest they've never even gotten close to it (and are under age 90) hlthe2b Feb 2014 #1

I didn't say that I've never gotten close to it. I've been offered pot many times, just never did it stopbush Feb 2014 #4

So just acid and shrooms? snooper2 Feb 2014 #5

Nope. Never even was in a situation to be offered those things. stopbush Feb 2014 #7

Shrooms are no joke.. giftedgirl77 Feb 2014 #9

Did you see the boar after you had found and taken the shrooms? stopbush Feb 2014 #14

As I said, I don't think it is 'generally' relevant... hlthe2b Feb 2014 #29

I believe you. SamKnause Feb 2014 #19

Rubio is a Republican politician, so I'd never believe anything he said. Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #22

Guilt by association is a lousy argument. malthaussen Feb 2014 #26
