Marijuana thread

[leftForDeadPhoenix]

My friend invited me to get high today after school, but I declined. Ive never tried this stuff, but I want to one day.

You're probably better without it. It's not going to do much for you. People end up using it to avoid dealing with their problems. Not something you want to get caught up in.

I couldn't tell by your spelling but anyway...You won't be for long if you do this too much. Be very careful with this shiit. It lowers testosterone, btw, which will affect your mind.

I don't think it should be criminalized, btw. The War On Drugs is a big waste.

im sorry, english is my 2nd language.

i meant that i tend to be very analitical by nature, so when i smoked weed i started analizying way more and i saw new perspectives i did not had thought of.

i know im very carefull, liek i said i will only do it once every 2-3 months.

I use weed because it doesn't effect my gym progress, calms my ADD, and I believe it has better side effects then alcohol if used maximum once or twice a week.

I've never smoked it so I might not deserve a huge say in the matter. The thing is everyone I know who does smoke is someone who I really don't want to be. I don't know whether it is the its the people that pot attracts or the way pot affects people. Eveyone I know that smokes it is a loser that is going no where in life, definately not intelligent in the traditional sense but somehow gets lots of girls.

Hey that's just my experiance. I haven't done any research on the matter, and I don't know any of you, nor am I judging you. I haven't tried it because it isn't accepted in my social groups and it scares me a bit to be honest. Society programming. There is certantly no one that smokes that I want to be.

"The people you know who smoke" doesn't mean sh1t. ALL kinds of people smoke. And I assure you that many people you know or are acquainted with who you don't think smoke, smoke. At least occasionally. Smoking weed doesn't turn you into a hippy or a braindead pothead or something. It doesn't change you at all, unless you choose to make it your life. All it does is put you in a somewhat different state for an hour or so, and it feels damn good.

And yes, it should be decriminalized. Disagree and you're an ignorant f*ck, through and through. You support a law that pisses away our money and creates problems, not solves them. No government has the right to tell you that you can't use a harmless substance, no one should be imprisoned for it, and it's a GIGANTIC waste of tax money. In nearly every sense it's a "better" drug than alcohol is, and I don't see people complaining about that being legal. But then again, this is the United States of Ass-backwards, so it's no surprise that something as innocuous as marijuana would be demonized.

Good for you, Andy. That is a very mature attitude and wise decision-making.

I apologize for assuming you were another American who doesn't know English. I only know English, so you are one up on me.

If you stick to that formula, you should be ok I guess. It will ruin your brain if you use it too much.

 

[Deep Dish]

Every stoned loser and every stoned juvenile delinquent you find was already a loser before weed. Now, I personally don't think it's good idea for young teenagers to date Mary Jane, because their brains are still getting wired up and their sense of more meaningful interests and priorities are still developing. So, there is a minimum age requirement and I would conservatively venture to put the age at 18. Wait until your high school prom or graduation afterhours party.

There are many highly successful people who lead a secret double life. Doctors, lawyers, politicians, paramedics, CEOs, astronomers, evolutionary biologists, anthropologists, television anchors, realtors, stock market mavericks, and Deep Dish. Marijuana may be sought as temporary relief from problems, but so the same with anything else which feels good; chocolate, wine, Tiramisu cake, going to the beach, taking a vacation, getting laid.

Once again I have run out of time, because lead a functional, pro-social life. Sitting in my bedroom, however, is the book "Naked Girls Smoking Weed: Best of 420 Girls" by Rob Griffin.

 

[Deep Dish]

Your lungs, yes. There however is no credible evidence it has any long-term effects on your brain, and any such effects such as memory loss clear up entirely within six weeks.

 

[In Motion]

I didnt read the whole thread so I dont know if anyones pointed it out yet. You dont notice anything special the first time you smoke pot, what you experienced was probably a placebo effect.

get the fck out of my thread!

I agree it should be decriminalized, it's a lot less harmful then alcohol. I used to do it a lot when I was younger. Now what I did in a day last a month or 2. It is a good party supply to have especially if you get the good stuff. There are 3 negatives, and the main reason why I cut way back from the every day to the once in a while.

1. It makes you less ambitious especially when you "Wake and Bake" I suggest only doing it on weekends or at night when it's late and you've accomplished what you set out to do.

2. I get the munchies and the last thing I need to do is grub on easy to make food.

3. In the short run with women it works good since I tend to get more laid back and answer complaints and comments with shorter answers, instead of being blabby. the bad thing is it makes me lazier to make a move, and sometimes you drift off and don't hear what she's saying.

I wouldn't reccomend you get started in smoking da weed... have your own mind and make your own decisions..no pressure.. who cares if they think you're a *****... People on this thread may think I'm a ***** for writing this, but I don't care, lol.. Never tried smoking it, and never will...

I do think it is a good thing if done in moderation, but many smoke it until they end up selling the house to buy the stuff.. Oh and hang out in front of places...

I think you are getting weed mixed up with coke. Nobody is going to sell their house for some weed.

Everyone, stoners and non-stoners alike, can and do respect people who choose as matter of personal choice to refrain from smoking weed. For one, the personal choice to not do drugs, but secondly because marijuana truly tastes and feels absolutely disgusting the first time. I can almost believe Bill Clinton didn't inhale.

Since you speak of economics, I want to educate you on some mathematics. For the sake of argument, suppose if you waltz down to your local bar or tavern it may cost $30 for five drinks to get hammered, or perhaps $15-20 for a bottle of wine or liquor from a liquor store to achieve the same drunkard effect. Whether $15 or $30, that is just for one night of stupid hijinks. Forgetting about the alcoholics who drink two, three, four, five, six, or seven nights a week; let's just suppose you were to drink every weekend, once. That would be $60-$120 a month in booze, for four experiences.

One-eighth of an ounce of marijuana can cost $50-$60, let us suppose. Prices of weed actually decrease as larger increments are purchased, so our price is intentionally high—pun unintended. Approximately speaking, if a person takes three hits of weed per session, a bowl of weed can be good through about three sessions. There can be eight bowls of weed in one-eighth of an ounce, so that is 24 times being high or about $2.50 per high. Since each high is about comparable to getting really drunk, that's $2.50 instead of $30 in a bar. Plus, you save an untold many thousands of dollars in medical bills because you didn't destroy your liver and kidneys, and didn't get the laundry list of diseases and dysfunctions caused by excessive drinking.

 

[War Against Betaism]

I prefer getting drunk but smoking weed helps with my high blood pressure and makes me sleep really good. In fact I always feel great whenever I wake up after a night out smoking weed.

Word. I am a light weight at both but it costs me about $2.50 to get high (1/4 gram) or $10 to get drunk (8 beers). And that's assuming I buy the cheap brew from the beer store let alone more expensive drinks at a bar. If you're talking about selling your house to buy the stuff, you're referring to stuff that is more expensive and more addictive than weed. Weed is cheap and even if it is breaking your bank it's easy to quit as well.

However it does make you lazy and unmotivated, not to mention I sleep forever after a night of being high. So while I love weed for partying on weekends I stay away from it during the busy week when I have class, studying, working out, etc. Same goes for alcohol and being hung over though, obviously.

HandyAndy, good choice to decline smoking with your buddy. As you can see I enjoy smoking weed but lots of kids who start it at 15 or 16 move on to worse drugs and that's when the problem gets serious. Most of the guys who smoked weed back in ninth and tenth grade where I come from since fried their brains with hardcore drugs and can't pass high school. Not that you'd do that but at least if you wait until college like I did you'll have better judgment and know where your limits are at. I've smoked my share of weed but never done anything beyond that.

 

[The Inside Man]

I smoke everyday, a lot, and have been for years. tried to quit
several times. thc byproducts can stay in the body for months if youre an every day smoker.

one of the least harmful drugs but has potential for abuse. after smoking 1-2 grams of good stuff every day for 4 years, its no longer glamorous or even that fun, just a bad habit I have. Weed is tricky bc you can be a high functioning addict and still do well in school, work, and exercise. If you keep it up there will be negative effects on overall quality of life.
Weed wont **** up your life like coke meth or pills but Caveat Emptor!

Sure it will, if you get caught with it.

Good for you, Andy. That is a very mature attitude and wise decision-making.

Thanks
