I have this thing with joints and (when with my black friends) blunts lately. We make cannibutter, but hash, eh, idk. I'll think about it.
But anyways, yeah, so, I have been friends with the guy for like 3 months. Apparently he liked me enough I got to finally come to his house (he is also one of my dealers) and go into his basement. Its the shit, like, I'm wondering what I did to get such good karma.

Black people don't smoke joints around where I live, they only smoke blunts.

You might as well, since you can get weed for so cheap.

Maybe that. I also just lost a girlfriend, so maybe the universe is just saying that Mary Jane always has my back?

I think it's more likely that it's YOU saying that. There's this concept known as "projection"...

AlphaFalfa said: I can see that there is good evidence that suggest this.
However, what is the measure of such a claim?
Is a human being social, meaning that human beings thrive and maintain a higher level of happiness socially?
Is this strictly based on survival?
The only reason i think the mechanism which drives biology cares about happiness, is because those who are surviving are more likely to be happy than those suffering... now i could be completely wrong about this, but it just seems to make sense to me. As for being social, i think humans that are social, do so by being social in groups. It just so happens that when humans band together and form groups from gangs to countries you have a better chance of surviving because you are not alone and are part of a group. There are MANY advantages to living in a group, so many that not being apart of a group greatly reduces your chances of surviving. IMO being social is synonymous with this being apart of the group... and is why humans are naturally social animals.
