Worried me there for a second bro. Even though you're my brother I wouldn't let you off easy on doing drugs. And as for the drug, it's marijuana. ( No people I'm not advertising this as a good thing) you're friends used a street name for it, Dope. I'm not sure if that's the name I haven't really gotten interested in drugs. As for similar experiences yes, and i regret that day. Took me 4 months to quit. PLEASE be careful of you hang with and what you do. I worry about you a lot. I'm planning on going to your high school grad btw so stay safe.

[Kuervo]

don't worry tose so called friends of mine are going to different high schools than me, anyway. well maybe for one of them who is going to the same as me, but you know me, i wouldn't do any type of drug, big bro.

[Ryandel]

I dunno. I'm worried now... Just stay safe.

[Kuervo]

you know i will and im 14, i can take care of myself. i know right from wrong.

[total_blank420]

i know this one guy who i used to be very good friends with, until i found out his whole family grows and sells weed. now i haven't talked to him for about two years.

Whoa whoa whoa, marijuana isnt a bad thing. I don't agree you should completely cut yourself off from them unless they are pressuring you into it, or it is impacting your life. It's their choice. If it effects you yourself though, give 'em a big kick in the balls, and a polite fuck you.

I agree with that, but I'd rather have my brother not even start doing any. Even if marijuana is the safest of them. The drug itself isn't that dangerous... it's obtaining it that's dangerous.

I agree, and I recommend staying away for drugs for as long as possible (Let's face it, the majority of us don't make it to the end of our lives without having atleast one toke). You are also correct about obtaining such substance. I have seen many things go wrong, however usually with marijuana it isn't that bad.


Drugs are bad, mmmkay

Whoa whoa whoa, marijuana IS a bad thing, where'd you get your information, my cyrillic friend? Spend some time online and look up the health effects of MJ usage.

There's this tendency to minimize the bad effects of the things we do (I believe that's called 'Denial'), and justify them, too (See: rationalization).

The antidote to these is called "Information" (See also: Reality). Get some, spend some time looking it up.

If you believe those medical reprots about the effects of marijuana not being unhealthy, you must have had more than one toke in your life.

I have in deed, and I am not ashamed of that. The ONLY negative physical effect from marijuana is smoke inhalation. If you were to cook it into food, it is 100% okay for you.

[total_blank420]

are you actually trying to promote the use of it?? and if you say the only negative effect is smoke inhalation, what about the impairment of the senses which can have deadly consequences.

Obviously not, as there is a strict rule of not promoting drugs, nor would I recommend anyone do drugs. I'm saying it works well for me.

Impairment of senses comes alongside the smoke-inhalation. If you eat it in cookies or something, you'd be fine.

Just because I'm not saying something neagtive about drugs doesn't mean I'm promoting it.

[total_blank420]

well, it sounds to me like you are trying to coax people into it by telling them it is harmless when it really isn't. And if the impairment is caused by smoke inhalation, how come it isn't illegal to smoke cigarettes?? Or how come people smoke before and while driving and don't weave all over the road??

i fail to see how impairment is deadly? are you saying that if im sitting at home slightly impaired on marijuana im really hurting myself? I agree that people shouldnt drive stoned. I do drive stoned often and i will admit that. My driving ability stoned is not tampered with. I am just as good as a driver because i know that i have to pay attention. And no i do not weave around the road like an idiot. I drive safe. I would not recomend that others do this however. Ive become quite amune to marijuana aswell which helps, but thats really beside the point.

[total_blank420]

yes you are impaired because after smoking MJ, you could get up and go for a drive and injure or kill yourself and others

[serial-thrilla]

way to not answer my question. besides impaired driving what harm can come from being impaired by this so called deadly drug?

[george]

Marijuana is not a deadly drug, like Rudi said, the only physical effect is the smoke. The only addiction would be a psychological addiction which are easy (heh) to brake, you just need some self control. Cigarettes on the other hand, are a physical addiction because of the nicotine in them. Your body craves it and needs (more like wants it really bad) it.

As to why cigarettes are legal and marijuana isn't, you'd have to ask the government about that :)

[SirRawrsalot]

And you will smell BAD. lol I would never think of doing any drug. I can't even drink. It definitely isn't worth it. You seem like you know exactly what not to do, but for anyone reading and think "that's b.s." , you are officially stupid. OFFICIALLY. I'm not even gonna explain why. I could rant on for hours, so I'll try to spare you.

[george]

wait.....I'm confused.....

anyone reading and think "that's b.s." , you are officially stupid.

I don't get what your getting at, reading that its bad for you? or reading that its not bad for you?

[SirRawrsalot]

reading that it's bad and not worth it. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, Serial, you justify your own behavior by denying the facts. again, i;d encourage you to turn off the Grateful Dead and spend some time looking at medical websites. MJ has been extensively researched for at least 5 decades now.

Even if you are sitting in the privacy and relative safety of your own home, there are still long term health effects of toking. These include (but are not limited to) increased risk of respiratory disease (including emphysema and lung cancer) due to the hotter MJ smoke, and decreased testosterone production (we know what that is). There's the cognitive impairment, which might feel good listening to 'Franklin's tower", but after many years might not be such a good thing, as these effects often are cumultive.

Go spend some time reading the research. And keep in mind that your body is like a giant plastic bag with an opening only at one end: What you put in stay there. Forever. Accumulating.

(Oops!)

[SirRawrsalot]

I think something happened to the posting script or he just clicked post twice lol.

Anyways, that's what happens when you assume instead of research. I'm gonna write my next paper on assumptions. See how well I do. I think if everyone would just start to listen to Sam we'd have a Utopia of sorts. (like in 1984 except....Sam is the only inner or outer party member and we are all the proles and know nothing and love our lives.) lol

[george]

But you cannot deny that weed is far less worse drug than say LSD, coke, or any other one of those. But because this thread isn't about whether its good or bad I guess we should stop. :)

Oh yeah, whats up with the double post? accidents happen I guess.

First, as a public service reminder I should say i am very anti drug. I think all that stuff is very dangerous. And, i should also add, that anyone who knows me also knows that I am extremely open minded and tolerant, and I've been accused of being fairly intelligent, too. So i arrive at this position based on more than ignorance or being 'conservative'. Niether is accurate.

Also, saying that pot is 'better' or 'safer' than coke or LSD is like saying it's better to be thrown out a window than shot twice in the head or drowned. The bottom line is that all of those choices aren't particularly appealing and result in the same end, and the best alternative is none of the above.

[SirRawrsalot]

Well, you can't say that exactly. It all depends on the quantity. One puff of pot isn't equal to being thrown out a window, but 6 or 7 joints a day is pretty bad. (both are bad in my opinion) I don't suggest it, but one puff will just make you cough a lot and will not get you high. I've never done pot, but honestly, I'm assuming and have asked a few people and they say at first it's like breathing in smoke from a fire with a bunch of dry leaves on it.

Actually, you CAN get high from one "puff", it just has to be some really good weed :D I honestly somewhat like the smell of marijuana, for some reason it smells.......sweet? to me. idk

But yeah, enough with whether its good or bad.

Well, people don't usually take just one puff! The problem is, people tend to use rationalization as a way to justify their own behavior. But rationalizations aren't the same as being rational, there's danger in chronic drug use, and people tend to minimize (or deny) them. Point is, any drug use carries with it the potential for long term health risks.

[SirRawrsalot]

Everything has it's risks and consequences. If you want to do drugs be prepared to face them whether it's in a few weeks or a few years. That's all I can say. People can do what they want. We can argue all night (or day depending on where you are.), but we should just stick to educating, because that's what it comes down to. Do you know what the risks are. People can make their own choices. They just should know something about both sides before they chose.

You're just a scared kid. I can see that you've done a small amount of reading on different drugs of abuse, but you're taking your own views and what information you've learned from the web to the point of fanaticism. You've never done drugs, and that's okay, but you don't have to be an asshole and tell other people that how they run their lives isn't right. Why don't you try to be objective and try to understand where other people are coming from?

[josh92]

Any one who smokes weed knows that it doesn't effect how you drive. You are not swerving all over the road or anything like that. But i dont recommend doing it because getting it can be dangerous, or if you get it it could be laced you have to know what to look for.

[mr.sexy_bomb]

yeah i think we all know about drugs and this post is not need it any more so
lock please

[polarbear]

y dont the two of you just talk face to face u bros?
