Joint?


Likely a dumb question, but it is a joint hes allways puffing on?

reply

it sure as hell is a hand rolled... thou i think its more thought as a hand rolled cigg =)

reply

Me and a friend were arguing over the same thing, it being a joint or a hand rolled. I just thought it would fit in better with the hip hop theme of the series if it were a joint.

reply

but hes a sword fighter, he would need to be clear headed if he were to fight and whatnot, he wouldnt be high all the time

reply

of course it's a joint. he's an AFRO samurai. and when he gives it to the whacked out ninja he coughs and exhales like he took a crucial hit.

reply

a lot of mma fighters have admitted to toking up before fights in order to clear their heads and put them in the moment. eddie bravo comes to mind.

Little do any non-weed smokers know but when you get high you can focus on something (if it interests you) 10x more intensely than being normal. Its why so many potheads like to get high and play video games, because its more fun and (me personally) we perform even better.

Nick Diaz (American 24 year old mixed martial artist) won the fight of his career defeating Japan's Takanori Gomi. After the fight Diaz tested positive for an extremely high amount of marijuana in his system and it was declared a no contest.

I attest that GanjaChef is right on this one.

Although it plainly does not look like a joint. Well, perhaps they had lots of weed there and whatnot.

reply

yes you do focus on thigs more...I like to puff when I am building modle RC planes...but you reaction time is slower....not good in a sword fight....I don't think it'a joint

ganjachief, come on dude. If your high or drunk it will seem like your doing well from your point of view, but your not.

I used to play softball with some potheads. One night we had a double header and if we won both game we would have won our league. We lost the first game so all the stoners went out to the parking lot and got high, we ended up losing the 2nd game something like 32-1 agianst a team who hadn't won a game in 3 seasons. The next week the stoners said that they should get high before every game because they played so well. They didn't belive me that they played horribly until I showed them the box score but from thier point of veiw it seemed like they were doing great.

Listen, do you smell something?

@Electricafroman
Your completelly wrong when you say "it may look like your good from your view when your high...". If someone plays a videogame (wich was one of the things said here) and you beat the highscore or drive faster in a race game etc - you got it black on white that you do better. Compare being drunk to being stoned while talking finger skills was kinda stupid. ;)

reply

Well I very much doubt that someone who is stoned would be able to do anything better than someone who is not. Just saying that they can do something better doesn't mean they can do better. I know a lot of potheads and play videogames with most of them and they are not better when stoned or drunk or whatever. If you can link me up to something that says otherwise I'll listen...

Interesting that you only posted the comparison between the high and drunk driver but didn't post the other videos on that site that clearly show the pot smokers were impaired. Pot smokers feel like they do everything better, that is a symptom of being high. People who smoke always pick and choose whatever evidence they can find to make it seem like pot is magic, but its not.

I'm not against pot and i think it should be legal assuming it is used responsibly but I have issues with the perception that it somehow doesn't impair you and makes you function at a higher level.

tell me jemi hendrix wasnt better playing high as balls then when he wasnt

reply

I dont know, because he ever played sober

Edit: I mean *never

As I was reading the other posts, I was thinking..... hmm.... seems like these non-smokers are commenting: "but .... you need to be clear headed"

shame we can't sit on the fence. cause then we'd see both sides. but the non-smokers kinda wanna do the "you're one of them now, youre a vampire!" like its crack or something.

the creators say on the official site that he "enjoys smoking his hand-rolled cigarettes". Case closed.

It does in fact straighten your mind (unless do do A LOT often). Alcohol is what makes you sloppy.

And NO im not saying this because im some stoner trying to promote it, i quit 2 years ago.

weed is different 4 everybody,it can make one much more focused or make you slower or however ones body reacts to it.
The high is defined (usually) by 2 factors,whether the ganja is a sativa (mental/head high), indica (body high,basicaly *beep* thatl keep you on the couch till you fall asleep) or a hybrid (mix o both).
the other factor is your own body, as everyone is different and will react differently.

although in the booklet thats in the directors cut boxset it says
Afro smokes rolled up cigs but i think its actually weed because it would fit in with the hip-hop theme & Afro alot more . its jst i doubt Gonzo would risk getting in trouble over promoting an illegal substance so thats why they say that theyre cigs.

reply

my two cents. its obviously ambiguous anyone could make valid points either way.
someone mentioned Ninja coughing hella after taking the hit... but anyone who has a massive hit from an unfiltered cig can tell you that you'd give a very similar reaction. though someone constantly engaged in intense physical combat that would result in intense pain would be wise to smoke p0t for its pain killing effects, so far as it impeding ones coordination and reaction know that its a very mailable drug. also the longer you smoke it the less intense the high becomes, and the more you're able to maintain focus and concentration.

reply

It's obviously a joint. Anyone saying otherwise is in denial.

reply

Agreed. No matter the heated discussiosn here regarding what the effects of ganja are, Afro is clearly smoking pot. I personally think it's part of the "afro image" they wanted for the character, even if people may feel that to be politically incorrect.

reply

I don't think it is a joint. It fits in better with the hip hop theme, but Afro doesn't even drink booze, so I kinda doubt he's smoking a joint. I think I can remember one of the empty seven having an opium pipe though, maybe I imagined that...

reply

It is a joint. Think about it like this if you will. The use of weed for rastafarians is a spiritual act used to clense the body and mind. Now take that into account the charector in question is obviouslly African American who has adopted a different culture but has a blend of rastafarian elements in his life. So for me it is a joint as it cleanses his body mind and helps him focus.

This increases reaction time. I played most of last rugby season high and it was my best season since I joined the team. I made a lot of plays due to quick reactions when noticing the oppposing teams mistakes.

Anyone else think its funny that people are saying a swordfighter wouldn't be high because it would hinder them, but they are perfectly fine with him smoking unfiltered cancer sticks?

reply

nah dude, hes too serious for that *beep* Its def a cig to cool him off. Also I doubt the *beep* ganna worry about dying from cancer

reply

I think he's too cool for cigs. Definitely a joint.

reply

yeah its joint, because if he wouldnt be stoned, he wouldnt see that ninja ninja guy who is in his imagination only as far as i know.

reply

ninja ninja is an extended part of his psyche, he was created by his mind when he was a child and the entire school he was at was killed.

now, as for the subject at hand, i use to smoke pot and do a few other things, and i think it's a cigarette, because logically, to me, if he was smoking a joint he would have no qualms about going to the bar he goes to into the first epsidoe and ordering a beer, but he instead orders a lemonade.

reply

well, i thought they explained why he ordered lemonade with the whole flashback swamp water thing from when he was a kid. it was a tie-in for the two scenes. at any rate, i think it is a joint, mainly because it's just cooler for it to be. plus, to the person who said you'll cough when you take a huge pull of an unflitered cig, well, yeah, you would cough like that, but why would you take a gigantic rip off an unflitered cig like that? ninja ninja was pulling hard because he knew it was a joint.

also, i know some stoners who don't drink booze, so just because you do one doesn't necessarily mean you do the other.

meh, either way. afro samurai kicks @ss.

that be a blunt, big difference
