Marijuana and YOU

[Abhorsen]

marijuana is good.. dunno what else to say lol, braincells are non active but alright ill tell something.

i dont want to get anyone here on this stuff but just some good advice if u really want to try, take note that everyone reacts different to marijuana.. if u just started/starting dont put too much in it, try with as little as posible cause the effect will be huge anyhow, use little weed and lot of tobaco. if u put to much u will most likely trow up/become totaly white in the face, or getting some serious sweathing issues/blackouts. the longer u smoke the more u can start putting it and the less effect will it have on you. once u got that trough your system its a great soft drug. i shouldnt say this but i'd call it the number 1 mmo grind drug lol.

but if u get nasty side effects worse then the one i named just stop with it..

as chris tucker says..."weed i from the earth..god put this here for me and you!"...its has less severe concequences than drinking and smoking...but most people dont know this fact: weed kills more braincells than cigarrettes (it was in my university psych txtbook )...but yea i love it lol

it doesnt kill my braincells cause i dont feel getting any dumber over the years to be honest.. i started experimenting when i was 13, and started smoking non stop when i was 16. (21 now)
i think it paralyzes the braincells a little but not kills them =p but who knows what will happen if i continue a few more years >.> only time will tell.

Tobacco is legal because if they made it illegal people would riot. One of the main reasons they keep marijuana illegal is so people can't have a solid reason to rally behind rioting for it. Remember when they banned alcohol? Yep that's all you need to know.

Marijuana is legalized in some way in many countries such as the Netherlands, and last I checked that place is doing pretty well. So I don't think society will crumble if it's legalized in the US.

Anyone who simply says "Marijuana is bad because its illegal, and illegal things are wrong" should reevaluate their positions. Lots of things have been made illegal at one time or another, such as interracial marriage. We shouldn't blindly follow things just because the government has declared it illegal.

I don't hate the substance, I hate the culture that comes with it.

Fucking peace loving hippy fags.

Well it has all the characteristics that flooding your brain with neurotransmitters has;
Leading to personality change, addiction and psychological disorders (in this case schizophrenia and depression).

That is because the brain adjusts to compensate such influences, which it does in a permanent way.

No one has convinced me otherwise as of now, because that is all the direct effect of what it is;
Otherwise it wouldn't give you a high.

Cheeseburgers don't, playing WoW doesn't; nothing of that sort just obliterates the boundaries of what your brain can naturally produce and sustain.

last I checked that place is doing pretty well.

You didn't check throughly though, because it changed rather a lot as people who have been there tell me.

@Topic:
There are fair enough people who think that the purpose of life is getting high. I don't really want to be mistaken for a person who tells others what to do with their lives or being obsessed with the topic at all, but as everyone is so eager to talk on the subject, I might as well join in.

There is imo nothing wrong with enjoyment or getting drunk and stoned and high for it, but i don't really enjoy the effects that come with it;
I do not want and do not feel free to forget myself.
There is near to nothing I want to get rid of in this world, which everyone should consider as a very real one in comparison to other not so real ones. On the other hand there are lot of things that I have to deal with in this world, that would go down the drain if I did simply exclude myself from them and avoid them.

I might have diffrent values and goals of achivement and I am still motivated by the idea of making a diffrence, over the idea of providing relaxation for myself. I can't see myself giving it up.

@But people who make bad experiences are just idiots and it's their own faults.
I won't hold everyone accountable for what they say do and want to do all day long, because i would have to despise an awful lot of people with all my heart.
It just shapes an impression though of the person, how he approaches the question of guilt, selfless or selfish.

You can't look down on other people without ending up as a hypocrite, one way or another.

Marijuana is what makes geeks cool people.

[blablabity]

Marijuana is what makes geeks cool people.

This is the reason those "above the influence" commercials are geared toward teenagers.

[woshiibreak]

one of the candidates for the election in my country're pro-marijuana.
their campaign's "give the tick to the leaf"


anyway, i don't have anything against the actual thing, just that all the shit that it causes to the community; the shit done to get it, etc.
though i think that's been said in this thread over nine thousand times, didn't bother reading the whole thing.

[cell59]

Its good for you!!!!!!!!!!

[Paladin Catling]

There isn't a week when there isn't a drug thread.

[ChickenDewd21]

I have a good job, there's a great chance that I'm much smarter than you, and I indulge in the use of marijuana. There goes your ignorant stereotypes.

;/ Blow me.

[Krunkmasta Flex]

as an avid smoker of both cigarettes and weed, i can say that the most damage to my lungs have been from the cigarettes. Yes weed does "get you high" but does it make you stupid, not really.

As someone stated earlier, the anti-weed propaganda is usually blown way out of proportion. here are the over all effects that i can explain, you become light headed, your hand eye coordination drops somewhat(varies on the person i suppose), you get dry mouth and you become hungry. after effects include wanting to take a nap for the next week, and you wake up wanting something to drink really badly.

People who are saying its illegal for a reason, haven't explained why as of yet.

useless trivia, Did you know the Bayer company invented one of the most addicted drugs ever?

[PurplePeopleEater]

So your denying that when you smoke weed you do not go to a state of minor ******ation?

Because i can tell you right now that when your stoned on this illegal narcotic you look ******ed and the whole feeling of being stoned and spaced out is proof how bad for you it is.

Really? Because there has never been a time where I was stoned, that I was spaced out and drooling like a mentally challenged kid. EVER.

In fact it was quite the opposite, my mind was quite open, I felt alot more creative, finished a painting that I had started weeks before hand, and totally did another piece of art right after that.

I dont see anywhere or anyhow that is any where close to "******ed and the whole feeling of being stoned and spaced out "

Thats just me though..

Most of the times when I smoke weed, I can not only concentrate better on certain things, but I am more in tuned with things around me. Yes the feeling of euphoria and total relaxation seems like it would totally make you a basket case ******, but its nothing at all like that.

[gratscorpio]

i think everyone who is saying to legalize it aren't taking into consideration that theres a reason its illegal.

the cons majorly out law the pros and no amount of debating will stop people :P

personally i have nothing against people who use it because obviously looking like a complete ****** is fun.

um no......

It's not legal because they have not figured out a way to tax it yet..



scorpio

(like the government cares about your health....)

[BeerPower]

Living a good life already. Don't need to smoke something to make myself feel good or whatever. Also, the smell just makes me run the other direction. So I would say it's bad.

[Oisterman]

Anything is OK in moderation. Some people can moderate themselves, some people can't.

People with screwed up lives should not be smoking marijuana. People with problems at home, problems in relationships, problems at work, problems FINDING work, people with other addictions, etc, should not smoke.

Its not that marijuana insta-demotivates you. It might if you let it, but it never has happened to me.

It CAN be used as a crutch however. People can use it as an excuse for their own ****ups, which is why it gets such a nasty name. Anyone can say "Oh, I don't have a job at 40 because I smoke pot." Truth is, you don't have a job at 40 because you are a pace of shit that smokes pot all day.

If your life is messed up...set down the bong and straighten yourself out.

Yeah, its a healing herb and makes everything better IMO...but you can't use it to find answers to your screwups.

[Danuve]

The only thing I know is that Marijuana Culture sucks ***.....I wonder if people actually hate the drug or they just hate the douchebags that come with it.

Yeah we are totally thinking the same thing lol.

[Civil]

I never use any single drug (unless given by a doctor..or caffine) ever.
I don't like any drug, because they can all be harmful.
I don't like weed, (or rather I don't like the people I know who do it) because they think it makes them cool, and they ALWAYS end up getting arrested and going to court and shit. I know this kid, total douche bag, and after years of weed, he moved on to heroine. He's been arrested 8 times just over 7th and 8th grade, and he used to be a football player with adverage grades, now he's addicted to drugs and fails every class.

Now, I'm not saying weed itself does this to everyone, I'm just saying when I see the kids who use it, they ALL act the same, moving onto worse drugs, failing school and being giant douchebags. Except, I'm friends with some of them.

Same with beer. Usually the ones who do it are my friends (Jock dicks heads) who think it makes them cool to drink beer and be mean to women. They're douchebags to their friends, and because of that, I get all the ladies ;D


EDIT: Wow, this has been said above.
THIS!

[egoodie]

Ive been smoking since i was 14 it helps me focus when im doing something it also helps me with stress. Never had any serious health problems from weed and it also makes me patient, And many ppl say it's not addicting but it actually is mentally ive tryed to quit few times but i give in after a week.

[Str1der]

ITT: A bunch of potheads on the defense.

Don't pretend for a second that putting ANYTHING in your body is in the long run good for you. Get off your soap box and stop preaching that smoking this drug is beneficial for you. All of the crap you all claim to do while your stoned just involves "panting a prettty picture... drawing a doodle! weee!" If you want to smoke marijuana, by all means, go ahead. I'm not and don't intend on stopping you. But it is illegal. You are breaking the law by smoking it. You will go to jail if you continue to do so.

Any substance, be it alcohol or marijuana, that screws with the signals in your brain, should not be used/consumed. You people comparing smoking marijuana to eating a cheeseburger are just ******ed. Yes, eating lots and lots of cheeseburgers will hurt your body, but at the end of the day your brain is not phsyically effed up.

It's illegal. It should stay illegal. Marijuana does nothing to improve society as a whole. Alchol doesn't and Cigs don't either, but unfortunately for you "tokers", they are legal. I don't think they should be, but they are.

[Lawliet1]

One of my old enemies got busted by the FBI (not just some local hick cops,the FBI) for selling large amounts of marijuana

Hes facing up the maximum of 10 Years in prison at the moment

Theirs nothing wrong with smoking weed,but don't try and sell the stuff.

[the calico kid]

People become spaced out, but not ******ed by any means.

Actually, marijuana can make you schizophrenic. And a symptom of schizophrenia can be, (but is not limited to) ******ation.

[Froz]

Another "look at me i smoke weed, Im Cool!" thread... Great.

QFTW, and fixed it at the same time.
