Would you smoke pot if it was legal?

[Hollywood]

I'm curious to hear. Personally, I've never smoked pot, mainly because I just know that with my luck I'd find some way to get caught. But if it just happened to get legalized, there's a good chance I would at least give it a try.

[Living For Love]

I don't think I would, but I don't really know what the effects of smoking pot are.

[Amazerful]

I wouldn't, I have never even had the urge to try it

[Bellissimo]

It`s legal here, so yeah I would :P

All those people in US, most of them think smoking pot is really bad and dangerous and stuff like that. It`s kinda funny actually.(I dont judge negatively with this post if you think that) What most people dont know is that alcohol is a harddrug and compared to marihuana way more bad for you.

As it is with all the stimulants. Don`t use it too many times and just keep yourself under control. :)

[vLiinx]

Id try it

[Baby-Kitten]

I don't know. Maybe. Ok yeah I would

[Mynick]

Yap, once in a while.

[sqishy]

Well I'd see what it's like after one try. But I wouldn't want to get too much of a connection with it.

[Miserabilia]

It IS legal here :D

[Derryck]

No, don't get me started on why.

[tundravortex]

not at all....even if it was legal i wouldnt do it

[Swagging god]

yes, I do and it's still illegal in Arkansas, unfortunately

[PinkFloyd]

It`s legal here, so yeah I would :P

The reason why it's so dangerous over here in the states is because sometimes the pot is laced with much more harmful substances like Cocaine and even Meth. The only way I would smoke it is if I knew where it was coming from.

[CharlieHorse]

Yeah sure why not?
Maybe on special occasions. Half of the kids at my school do it.

[kylem1229]

Definitley no...that stuff hurts your health

[1_21Guns]

I'd try it if it was legal, I certainly wouldn't make a habit out of it though. And like Rob said, I damn well wouldn't smoke anything unless I knew where it came from.

[Luminous]

Probably not. I've never had the slightest desire to try pot, legal or not.

[unknownuser]

Naw, I think I'd pass.

[Abyssal Echo]

if it was legal....yeah I'd smoke it.

[Vocabulous]

Nope, asthma

[conniption]

I've smoked pot before, but I think I'd try to make some weed brownies. I wouldn't want to make it a habit though.

[kitcate]

I smoke wtv is legal or not

[smashmouth42]

Ive "partaken" many many times, and as someone else mentioned, the only harmful things ive witnessed regarding weed is when someone isnt smart about it and makes poor decisions about where they get it from or what they do under the influence. If it was legal, in my opinion the only factors to look out for is that you arent stupid regarding who you buy from, you are making sure to keep yourself healthy and are in a good condition to partake (dont smoke if you have been having asthma issues lately or are sick ) and that you know how to moderate yourself. Not saying you should or shouldnt, but just make sure you're with people you trust your first time.

[zrt12907]

For me, it is just a big maybe. I have been offered, and said no because it is illegal.

[Greg1994]

Hell no, it's gateway drug and gross... I hate to be the douchebag saying this and I really mean no offense to those of you that do, but I think smoking anything in general is a bit trashy. I've never understood how any benefit could ever come from it.

[HahaWaitWhat]

I wouldn't. I doubt a lot of people would.

[AlexanderTheGreat]

I'm curious to hear. Personally, I've never smoked pot, mainly because I just know that with my luck I'd find some way to get caught. But if it just happened to get legalized, there's a good chance I would at least give it a try.

I would defiantly do it. I've done it before a few times and I don't see any problems with legalization. :D

[Blood]

Yeah, I'd smoke it. Pot is a great relaxer. You just have to be responsible.

[Mushin]

The reason why it's so dangerous over here in the states is because sometimes the pot is laced with much more harmful substances like Cocaine and even Meth. The only way I would smoke it is if I knew where it was coming from.

Marijuana can be laced with substances anywhere in the world, not just the United States.

I already smoke maybe once or twice a week as it is. There is no legality for juani here, but I don't think legality should influence your decision on using a substance as it is.

[lightPainting]

no, I don't think smoke inside your lungs is a good thing.

[Raynes]

The reason why it's so dangerous over here in the states is because sometimes the pot is laced with much more harmful substances like Cocaine and even Meth. The only way I would smoke it is if I knew where it was coming from.

I live in Los Angeles where it is legal for medical purposes. If you want it, you can easily obtain it. Almost everybody has a medical condition that can be considered to be (even if only mildly) improved by marijuana usage, and thus obtaining legality is usually a 20 minute walk in doctor visit away.

The way it works here after obtaining a recommendation from a doctor is that you purchase marijuana from dedicated dispensaries. You can be pretty certain that these dispensaries are not selling laced product.

Marijuana is a heavily studied drug with very few documented disadvantages. The legalization effort is only going to continue as people are further educated about marijuana and its benefits vs its disadvantages.

[riverboy]

I don't think so.

[snapple97]

Of course. I do it regardless, anyway :P.

[irogers707]

Hasn't stopped me. If it were legal It would just be easier for me to buy.

[kyler]

Probs not, I've tried it before but I don't like it. I just can't relax and feel all worried and paranoid so I just don't do it.

[ByXaz]

Yeah. But I'd want to be sure I knew where it was coming from. Like I wouldn't go up and buy it from some shifty guy behind the mall but I'd buy it from my friends who have parents/older brothers who grow

[darthearth]

If it were legal I would imagine companies would compete and it would end up being very safe to use. At that point, I would more likely try it. Also, if you use the same "stash" or whatever that someone else has used and it looks like good quality, then yeah. Never had it yet but am curious.

[johndoe1112]

im not promoting anything but i have tryed it and it is not something i can see myself doing everyday it is kinda weird my first time because i was on some shit going around my school and i was freeking the f#$k out

[antonwmillard]

Maybe... I'm curious how it feels...

[NeuroTiger]

I'm certainly not into these...

[SawyerSauce]

Yes I would. It reduces stress, high blood pressure, and can decrease risk for cancer. All of those things would be beneficial to me.

[Raynes]

DISCLAIMER: Everything following is written by a guy who has a part time obsession with drug research who lives in a state with legalized medical marijuana. My purpose here is to spread factual information about drugs backed by scientific research/studies and help eliminate common misconceptions, as well as to provide advice and opinions on various drug-related matters. If you have questions, feel free to pose them to me however you like!

Hasn't stopped me. If it were legal It would just be easier for me to buy.

Well, if you actually live in San Francisco, it's already kinda-sorta legal. Possession of less than one ounce of marijuana by any given person is akin to a parking ticket. Furthermore, you could pop into a given recommendation clinic and very likely get a recommendation without any trouble. It's hard to not have a suitable medical condition that marijuana is known to treat (insomnia, anxiety, etc).

I wouldn't. I doubt a lot of people would.

I wonder what makes you think that. Once you get over the stigma and do a little reading, one quickly realizes that marijuana is as legitimate a theraputic drug as any prescribed medication.

Let's do an example. Hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc, are all frequently prescribed narcotics for pain in various degrees of severity. They are highly addictive semi-synthetic opiates. If marijuana can provide pain relief at around the same efficacy as those narcotics, it is almost certainly a better choice because of fewer negative side effects and far less addiction potential.

Marijuana is a widely useful drug that can help with many medical conditions encompassing far more than just pain. It's also a relatively safe alternative to traditional sleep aids that tend to make you feel like a slug in the mornings.

Hell no, it's gateway drug and gross... I hate to be the douchebag saying this and I really mean no offense to those of you that do, but I think smoking anything in general is a bit trashy. I've never understood how any benefit could ever come from it.

The 'gateway drug' argument is a little bit of a cop out. If you want to do hard drugs, it's unlikely that avoiding marijuana is gonna prepare you to refuse meth from someone if you really want it deep down inside. It's going to happen either way. We can reach a similar effect by saying that Tylenol is a gateway drug for narcotic pain relievers.

As for smoking, indeed, it is the least appealing part of marijuana usage. Inhaling smoke, regardless of its source, is never going to be a very good thing to do! It is generally less dangerous for marijuana users than for tobacco users, but it still isn't really desirable. Luckily, there are alternatives to smoking. There are edible baked products, capsules, vaporization, etc. It's helpful to keep in mind that there are people who do use marijuana for medical issues and don't really care how they administer treatment. Some people who use marijuana legally in states where it is allowed do not smoke at all because dispensaries provide pre-made edible products.

[Wyatt 13]

Nope, never.

[ILoveTheHungerGames]

Never

[ImCoolBeans]

The reason why it's so dangerous over here in the states is because sometimes the pot is laced with much more harmful substances like Cocaine and even Meth. The only way I would smoke it is if I knew where it was coming from.

It's actually very, very unlikely that you would ever get laced weed from somebody unless you specifically asked and payed more for it. It would cost a drug dealer more money to lace weed and sell it to you for the regular price than he or she would make back in profit. So unless you specifically ask for it or they have a serious personal vendetta against you, I doubt you'd get laced bud.

[YourNameIsInvalid]

I do it now.

[YourNameIsInvalid]

"The reason why it's so dangerous over here in the states is because sometimes the pot is laced with much more harmful substances like Cocaine and even Meth."

That's actually not true at all.

You'd probably have more a chance of eating a space cookie at a prom than someone putting meth in your pot haha.

[Sandra Main]

No never ever

[deregisterme]

I wouldn't try it. I only take legal medication when I have a medical need for it, as most things have side affects

[Strelok]

No. If it's legal, government gets money from it. Nothanks. I get screwed by the government enough already.

[Sugaree]

I'm curious to hear. Personally, I've never smoked pot, mainly because I just know that with my luck I'd find some way to get caught. But if it just happened to get legalized, there's a good chance I would at least give it a try.

For medical purposes? Well, if I had to, then of course.

For recreational? Of course I would. But only once in a while. It would be like drinking. It's fine to do it once in a while, just not every weekend.

[lyhom]

Probably not.

I'm not really that interested. Maybe I'd try it once though.

[Katiya]

I would do it once. But not smoke, I'd eat it. Saying I know exactly where it came from and that its not contaminated.

And only in the company of close friends or family that I could trust to not hurt me or let me hurt any thing else if it went awry.

Even then just a tad to see what it was like. I am totally fine with it used for medical purposes. I think it's great, and they have types that don't have the psychotropic effects of street weed.

I would never ever do any other drugs. Ever! And I won't ever try weed unless it was legal. Breaking the law isn't my thing, I prefer to keep my sparkling clean record! :)

[Woryh]

NO i would rather have a brain later on in life thank you

[Stronk Serb]

Sure. But I want pure pot not something laced with heroin or something worse, I don't want to get hooked on a bunch of other drugs.

[Rascaldog24]

If it was being made in a clean place that was regulated like alcohol then I might try. It. No way in hell I would try it off the street

[martogogo]

no, I dont like it

[schoolgirlz]

I don't do any drugs now or I never have but if it was legal I might do some experiment.

[Fillie]

Occasionally, yes.

[Whatsgud]

I don't think it being illegal is the main reason why people don't smoke it.

[TheRedViper]

My friend smokes it a lot (and she's only 15, a few months younger than me), and she keeps telling me how good it is, and that I should try it. I said I would, but only with her, as I trust her not to trick me with it or anything. So I guess I would try it, legal or not.

[Shannon.]

Probably not. I've never wanted to try it, and I doubt that would change if it were legalized.

[Slender Man]

Yea.

I already smoke cannabis, so it being legal wouldn't change anything except that at a certain age I will be able to purchase it without worrying about getting caught.

[The Trendy Wolf]

I would never do drugs, as it will greatly damage my reputation and potentially ruin my educational success as of now. I would be devastated if that was to happen to me (or anyone). This is why I'm not planning to be drinking alcohol even after I'm 21.

[Mastretta]

I don't think I would, but I don't really know what the effects of smoking pot are.

None...

[Henry VIII]

I could never smoke illicit substance in this case pot. It would be damaging to my health & I love God to much to break our covenant.

Our bodies are temples, so let us treat them that way!

[doobie]

Considering the fact that im high right now yes

[Sandra Main]

No never going to happen.

[Akasuki]

i would in a heartbeat. the health benefits of it are amazing. i have anxiety so it would help with that a lot.

[Seemyheart]

I wouldn't. I've seen so many documentaries and stuff about how it effects you and all that, I just wouldn't do it even if it were legal

[mermaidfairy]

I have asthma so I don't know if I would. I may try a tiny amount.
My friend said he has asthma and he's fine though.

Or I'd figure out how to make pot brownies or something. No asthma risk that way.

[ksdnfkfr]

Probably when I'm old enough for medicinal
reasons to help with my anxiety. I think by
then it will be legal most everywhere.

[Cognizant]

Without being too blunt in my answer, yes.

[Celtic.]

Nope. It slowly kills brain cells Just like Cigarettes slowly kill lung cells. Id never do drugs

[Ihaveagun]

No. I don't smoke to begin with, so that wouldn't make much sense. ;)

[milo03]

Nope. I've never had the urge to smoke pot.

[CabbageMedul]

Joke's on all of you. It's legal here.

But yeah, no. I don't smoke it. I probably never will either. Maybe some day, but I don't know. :yummy:

[Ashthefox]

NO! Why would you even want to try something that could get you killed?

[teen.jpg]

I have no interest in it, so no.

[Woryh]

No, i would rather be able to think and use my brain.

[Jazzii]

I wouldn't only because I've tried it an didn't like it. So I'm not sure lol. My friends smoke A lot and I love them to death lol

[Synyster Shadows]

I would never try it. Besides, music is a better relaxing aid for me than probably any drug would be

[gliderman]

No way I would try it!

[HotGurlMixy]

Yup, I Probably Would.

[Nellerin]

I will smoke it even if it remains illegal for the rest of eternity. That being said, I don't even smoke now and only have once or twice. I'm more into psychedelics.

I guess I'm not one to care about unjust laws.

[Coolguy10890]

No thanks ! People in my school who do smoke it illegally, sound stupid and they're voices are too relaxed. It's stupid. And a I saw a kid who just smoked weed his face looked fucked up. I feel like weed can just ruin your brain. It probably can if used too much. No offense to people who do smoke it, but please THINK about what you are doing.

[Nellerin]

Ya, bullshit, sorry. "Ruin your brain", a simple understanding of how cannabis works makes it impossible to think that.

The worst possible effect is that it can bring about a few hours of paranoia at high doses in very few people.

Other than that, cannabis is safer than caffeine.

[Typhlosion]

Who knows? I've never done pot before. If pot were legal, how would it's general portrayal in the media be? How would it be perceived and hows socially acceptable would it be?
This, assuming that in the hypothetical situation that pot was legal for a nice while. Things would be different... how?
Would it get me chicks like beer commercials or would I be a filthy citizen? That would definitely change my inclination to the drug.

If it were immediately legal, I would wait for the market to stabilize first, get the big brands with good names...
Then, sure, I'll be saving my first try for some good stoner metal with my best friend. They say it's good... huh?

[Josef_]

mts
no

[Bluerhino666]

What people think is that its bad for you,but so many health benifits come from it. Plus you cant get addicted to it

[AdolescentBoyBlue]

I would,makes sleeping more easy and comfy,music is better and im more chillaxed

[Avenida105]

No thanks ! People in my school who do smoke it illegally, sound stupid and they're voices are too relaxed. It's stupid. And a I saw a kid who just smoked weed his face looked fucked up. I feel like weed can just ruin your brain. It probably can if used too much. No offense to people who do smoke it, but please THINK about what you are doing.

Well I hate to break it to you, but well most of the time those people we're stupid way before they actually tried pot. Sincerely I find it really amusing how people usually relate pot to stupid people, and people that are too relaxed. I am considered a stoner, but I also have straight A's, have a 4.5 weighted gpa, and I've gotten 5 on every single AP test I have taken. If it was legal I would keep on doing it at the weekly basis I do it, and would not hide it from my parents.

For a long time I also bought into the whole it will hurt your brain. The problem is that we label this things as taboos and when kids that have no self control start doing it, they feel liberated an soon get addicted not to the drug itself but to the feel that they are doing something that is prohibited. ANY SUBSTANCE, even water, used to an extreme can hurt you. That is why instead of prohibition we should be teaching moderation.

[inamorata]

I've smoke but I don't really like smoking so I wouldn't

[Jrxy98]

I would and I would like to know the person selling it just in case they add a little to much Kick

[teegoo8]

i'm from colorado. i have no idea about age restrictions, i'd assume it's 18 or 21, but my friend get it for me because her dad grows it :) i think it's illegal to sell weed though...but i don't do it often, it's only when i'm with this friend. it's also pretty good for me being diabetic, my numbers are always more steady over the few days after.

[ECSTASY]

Nope, just because its legal that doesnt mean that its good for health

[AlexOnToast]

It's not the illegality that's stopping me - If I wanted to do it I would do it anyway. I dont smoke it becasue my health is already not in a good place and I dont want to cause further problems

[Lisa12]

no because i think its un healthy but id also get caught. i get caught with everything. the first time i ever masturbated my sister walked in. first time i tried to steal a beer from the fridge i got caught. making out with my boyfriend for the first time and my mom walked in. i have the worst luck

[ElectraHeart]

I would, just for the experience.

[Shailene]

I do - not saying everyone should, but its a very safe high, plus no one is ever mad after a j :)

[mrmee]

No, because for some reason, if I inhale anything like smoke, dust, ect, I'll be hacking up a lung for the next month.

[Tenoka]

For medical orientated kind of things, sure. To legalize it to just legalize it? Eh. Of course, that being said I have smoked weed, but for medical purposes.

[Cjk_20]

No. I have to many people I know die due to lung cancer

[baseballfan]

I think a lot of people would. Look at Colorado where they ran out quick once it was legal

[Muscleteen]

No, I would not try it even if it was legal.

[jessi_s]

I would, and we'll be seeing other states in America following Colorado real soon, IMO.

[Croconaw]

I would never do that.

[DorkimusPrime]

I really have no desire to try it, even if it is legal. I mean alcohol and cigarettes are legal doesnt make me want to try them either.

[mww113]

It's legal for me. I have a medical marijuana card. It's gotten me off of anti-seizure and pain medication, so I'd say it's helped me a lot.

[Tendencies]

Maybe at an older age. Like after high school. But it'd be nice if it became legal so everyone would stop being so high-strung about smoking it...
