oh lord, that wasn't my intention
the video is not about "weed is fun" or "weed is good"... its about showing that adults over the age of 21 who chose to use it should not be made criminals
it is an illegal drug and i do not promote(or discourage) it's use
educate yourselves and know the risks before doing anything

I think second hand doesn't, unless you're hanging around with the intention to.
However, her answer applies to me.
I don't necesarily plan on it, but anymore it's not beause of "omg it's illegal" but "may make things worse"

I do smoke weed, yes.
I tried vaporising for the first time last night - omfg it's so much better than combusting it. I had to use about a quarter of what I would put in a joint to get the same effect and found it to be a somewhat different high. It wasn't a 'baked' high you get from having a good smoking session, it was a really clear, heady high. I quite enjoyed it tbh. I also feel in a generally good mood today and my resting heart rate and blood pressure is lower than usual. I'm also finding it easier to concentrate on things and don't feel as tired / fatigued as I normally do.
I recognise its legality, but I believe in morality, education and choice.

That's an intense high though. A bit of a waste too.
It's majorly intense, but I don't think it's a waste. It's a completely different high almost like a different drug called 11-hydroxy-metabolites. Your liver makes it to metabolize the THC, and that's when everything goes trippy lol. It's great when I get overloaded with thoughts and past-time guild and stuff. It kind of sorts everything out into file cabinets and puts it away, so I can focus on what I need to like school and things that are currently happening.
To answer the question, yes I do. I tried stopping, but anxiety and stress gets to be too much without it. I went for a while with just a couple times a week, but now I'm back to my old bad habit.
It sucks though, because some of my friends just want to do it to look cool and be funny on it, or just to feel good, and that's wasting it, you know. They must just not be mature enough to see that it makes you think about everything differently. My favorite things to do is to form my own theories on things that are unknown, and it's even better when I can talk to my friends that also think like that. (after smoking, or eating) :P

It's good to know you have a good head on your shoulders. There's some potheads out there that smoke for all the wrong reasons.

But it takes like a half O just to make a batch that wont even last as long as smoking. The high is better i agree, but i think edibles are best for every once in a while.

This pleases me very much. As AJ said, it's good to hear that you actually smoke it for a reason, not to look 'cool' or any of the crap. It's people who do smoke it to fit in / smoke it with no real purpose or reason who tend to completely tar it for everyone else.

Thank you two. As I said, the only reason I would do it is to relieve stress and to clear up thoughts in my head. When I use marijuana in any ways, I always make theories about anything in my head (mostly space and life :P), but when I share them with my friends they find it weird lol. I need new friends. It's wicked annoying to see my friends smoking and then just wasting it by doing nothing, or not using it to it's potential of mental empowerment. I've shared one or two of my theories on here, and although they may be weird, they make sense to me lol. Sorry for rambling on, I just like sharing my theory making habits, and hope that other people try it. It's wicked fun lol.

I smoke it for the exact same purpose as you really dude and I form crazy concepts in my head that I struggle to understand / communicate to other people when sober. You're not the only one who does it :P

Yes I have, and I would do it again. IMHO, weed has saved my life on more than one occasion, when I was contemplating suicide, I lit up a joint and everything went away..I saw things differently. I don't smoke now because I refuse to seek out a dealer, or buy from someone myself. I have always had other people whom I trusted buy it for me. I refuse to buy from a dealer myself because my father was a police officer and I know how many "fake" dealers there are out there.

i have, and i still do. I'm not trying to get flamed over this or change anyone peoples views, but to me, weed is not as bad as people make it out to be. Some people think weed makes everyone get crazy or get really stupid, when the real fact is that it all depends on how someone can handle themselves before going overboard. I usually know my limit when i smoke, and unlike other people, i tend to just get high enough to where i know i'm pretty stoned, yet i'm able to function normally throughout a whole day. But i know some friends, that when they smoke, they go for the whole "look at me, i'm a super-stoner" look, but then they smoke more then they can handle and usually either get so stoned that start making dumb decisions, or cant handle the high and get knocked out for either hours or days on end. I just hope some people really get a better outcome look on the smoking community because some people make weed to look like a really bad drug, when other times, this same drug is helping people cope with illnesses or other things.

And I agree about the whole DON'T DO WEED thing people try to throw around
If they even spent a second researching it instead of the one single fact that It's bad for you, they would realize it really isn't compared to everything else people could do
It is frowned upon though by many

Actually, for those people always putting it down, it literally is what convinced me to want to become a psychologist (which I am currently studying to be). It opened my mind to what seemed to be new ideas and inspiration! I don't do it often by any means but I do use it once in a while to just relax and get my thoughts together.
If you're uncomfortable with the idea of doing something, don't do it! Although if you're interested, I have to say it might be worth an honest try, but I should say not to abuse it, because 1. It can cause problems, not because of the plant itself, but because of the smoke. Smoke contains carcinogens from lighter fluid / butane depending on what you light the product with. So I'd suggest a light edible, something that would mellow you out.
2. There is always risk of psychological dependence, not physical with marijuana! Psychological dependence is best described as enjoying the feeling of being high too much so you feel an urge to do it again. There are no forms of physical addiction such as with alcohol or other "drugs." When alcoholics quit, they develop withdrawal symptoms, which are basically the body suffering because it cannot handle not having that specific chemical. These symptoms simply do not happen with THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical that gets you high in marijuana) because your body is naturally equipped to fight addiction to this substance!
What I'm saying is, be safe, have fun, make good choices! And by good choices, I mean what the good choices are for YOU personally!
Best of luck :)

One reason I dislike most police officers (I volunteered at the Sheriff's Department here for well over a year) is for their ignorance and bias.
1. No it's not illegal here in California if it can help you medically.
2. It's "stupid." Justify...? Otherwise you sound really dumb.

never ever ever will i smoke it
no and i dont plan to
nope, never really had the urge to i guess.
i have, but only a little. And that was a while ago.
Ive been clean for a year, and plan to stay that way :d
no, but i kno alot people that do
no i really really hate the smell!!
no. Never have, never will.
never have and as of right now, never will.
nahhh i dont. I've been offered plenty of times but i just dont see the need for me to smoke, i dont have any problems that i need to forget, and i can have fun in otherways. I just dont see the point, no offense to anyone who does.
i haven't and i never will
no.....
Regardless of whether it's good for you or not, if i need a drug to make myself feel good, there's probably something wrong in my life. I'd prefer to try and change it the old-fashion way before using an escape like that....
never have done it, never plan on doing it. Weed is illegal and it solves nothing. Its stupid.
why does it matter if it's illegal? It's less harmful than tobacco and alcohol. justin's chart. (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=90350)
i don't smoke weed. I have a friend who wants me to smoke with him, but i haven't ever. I want to, but i promised my best friend yesterday that i wouldn't do drugs, so it's not in my horizon of things to do anymore.
never, i'm to scared of getting caught.
nope never have, just not interested
haven't and probably never will lol

i did for the first time yesterday, honestly, its not that big of a deal... i got high, it was pretty cool, and i had a great sleep, and i was still sorta high the next day too. it was a cool expierence, you feel just more connected with everything, espicially yourself. But i did feel guilty when i looked myself in the mirriors and my eyes were mega red. But i dont see why people act like being high is life or any of that. And i dont understand why people are so judgemental of people who do smoke. No harms done, and its just chill. my only mistake was that i did it on a school day, i just cant concentrate the next day or do my hw. Ill probably only do it liek 1-3 times a month. Still like getting drunk better no comparison lol

I for one smoke it in moderation. Im bi polar and manic depressive so it really helps keep me sane. I also smoke cigarettes for the same reason. Before smoking weed I was on 2 anti psychotics and an anti depressant. Basically half of the time I was a zombie AND I would still have my serious mood swings on occasions. Its a strain on friendships or any kind of intimate relationships. Now that I smoke weed and I get that release a few times a week I am not on any medications and my mood is a lot more stable. For me weed is a godsend! But honestly if you would ever see me you would never know I touch the stuff :-)

Hey, its an opinion. And my opinion is that you don't have a right to have an opinion, therefore, I deem everything you say invalid.
I don't smoke pot. I don't like pot. And I don't like the general people (who I know) that smoke pot. To me, it stinks, and quite frankly, I don't like the feeling.
Plus, my dad died because someone just HAD to have it. They just HAD to smoke. They couldn't live without it.

Sorry to hear this. My dad is 50 yrs old and has smoked and cooked weed since he was 12. He is very successful makes 6 digits a year and is the best dad ever. Weed is a gateway drug as it gets u high and leaves your mind wanting more and if u cant control that then u will try harder drugs to get that same high. It has no physical dependence. I smoke it and cook it up in butter to make cookies bread brownies, but I don't need it. I use it socially like people do with alcohol,yet alcohol is highly addictive yet u can buy it anywhere. Check out places like Amsterdam that use it as a culture. They use it from everything like getting high to making paper etc. In the USA they need to legalize it and stop all the shit. That's my two cents.

Marijuana has never caused harm to anyone. The only times it has caused harm is the LAW and people thinking it is some actual drug. If it was looked at like cafeen then I bet you this fictional harm you say its caused would never of even been thought of.
Learn your facts
Also wtf do you mean when a guy gets caught with drugs then hits somone, you have obvoiusley never smoked, it isn't nearly like alcohol, it if anything it will make you hit a pole and you would be like "man... why am i parked..." then would just drive away because you where only going 5mph when the speed limit was 40. Weed makes you super chill, not crazy.
Oh and the only risk to smoking weed is the cops founding out. The reason it remains illegal is purely based off racism, and the fda not allowing research on it unless they fund it - when they do it is underfunded. Illegal or other studies that just managed to get by that where well done said nothing is wrong with weed.
No who is more believable, some underfunded study who is trying to make the fda look good because thats what they are getting payed to do, or a neutral well funded well done study.
Seriously, stop talking about something you know nothing about. Do some research. There is logical explanations to how humans where made to be high, with proof such as mri's and other stuff that shows that cannabinoids fill in the missing piece of the transmitters in the brain that pass signals to each-other.
Nice try, and go ahead, go support saying weed is bad, put money in the hands of the FDA so they get more money to kill people who are trying to bring some weed over the border because if they don't they cant feed their family. Also at the same time support making all us people who smoke (which is A LOT) buy from Mexican drug cartels so they have money to shoot back, and can bring more weed over, and make it easier for your future child to buy it :D. Who knows? At this rate of the acesability of weed raising 1st graders will be selling it.
I could write a whooollle thing on why it became illegal, but last time i did that it took 2 hours and was wayyyy to long

Where did you get racism from?
The fact that many hispanics and blacks were using it was exploited during anti-pot campaigns of the early 20th century. Ever wonder why is called Marijuana and not its real name? Because marijuana was a spanish word (http://books.google.com/books?id=VTYBbGybtNEC&pg=PA142&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false) and the word was popularized by propagandists around the time to make the drug seem more hispanic sounding and lower the appeal to the American public (who at that time was pretty racist and anti-minorities).
It was outlawed due to the fact that it created competition for other farmers.
Not really farmers. Hemp threatened paper and textile industries mostly.

The more people who think it's risky, the more profit the drug dealers have. Drug dealers do not want legalization because they'd lose money. It's an untaxed industry that brings in millions of dollars every year, but it's not going to the economy whatsoever...it's going into the hands of scumbags. I'd really like it if the money made from taxed weed would go to paying to fix the schooling problem where I live.

Plenty of people get high and drive. And if more people think it's risky then less people will be doing it thus declining the sales of drug cartels. Not everything that grows out of the earth is good for you, nor are things we make, but the things we make mostly help people that need it and those people accept the risk of other unintended things happening. Not saying that hemp users don't know the risks they're taking, but they don't go to the doctor or read a label saying what and what not to do. They have to find it out themselves and, not to generalize, but most druggies don't normally spend their time looking up the effects of the drugs they are using.

I actually think marijuana smokers are generally prepared for the effects. I know I had done *my* research on it beforehand. Your comment about not having a doctor tell you what to do, how to handle it properly? Marijuana is legally available in certain areas, with specific shops set up with legal pot for those with a prescription (given by, yes, A DOCTOR). The doctors can inform them of the effects. I think you're generalizing a lot when you say that most 'druggies' (and come on, you're making it sound like all people who smoke pot are deadbeats...maybe it's just where you live, but here, people from all walks of life [lawyers, secretaries] do use it and are still successful) don't make an effort to research the effects. I think that may be more common for other drugs, but that's something based on my personal opinion. There are certain people who need marijuana because it relaxs their body. This reminds me of a scene in a marijuana documentary that had shown a man who had an illness (I'm not sure of the name) that caused him to constantly have seizures, made it very hard for him to speak, and things like that. The marijuana relaxed his body a lot, and he was able to function more normally after it. I'm not saying marijuana is this perfect Godsend, but you have to realize that it can (and does) help some people. And really, if someone just wants to smoke it for pleasure and not because of an illness, what's wrong with that? If they don't plan on harming anyone, I guess I'm not worried.

Yes, I did know it can be and is used for medical reasons, which most people don't have. I shouldn't have used the word "druggie" due to its negative connotation, perhaps the phrase "drug user" would have been better. And I never meant to incline that all drug users were unsuccessful, but the word "successful" could be used to describe anything that is achieved. A person could be a successful serial killer. Actually everyone is successful, either at something or nothing, which is a something.
I'm not saying marijuana is this perfect Godsend
And I'm not saying it is the work of Satan.
If they don't plan on harming anyone
It doesn't mean they can't.
if you wanted to not generalize, you should have not said anything past "not to generalize." what you said is a complete generalization; it is also wrong, to boot. while many drug users are certainly ignorant, a great many are also well aware of the risks of drug use.
Yes, I am aware of that, but many people have the very common thought, "Oh, that won't happen to me." By believing that many think that what they're doing won't cause any harm, even if they are aware of the risks.
And the generalizations the STATISTICS (which I laid out in words) made are not entirely wrong considering you said that many are ignorant. Also, I won't argue the point, some drug users do know the main risks they're taking.
Yes, I find it funny too. :P

Well, in short..... no. I'll agree on the park about tobacco being poison, and that's why I never have and never will smoke a cigarette, or use most illegal drugs. Cannabis is more complicated, it was originally put under Schedule I (instead of schedule II) because hemp created competition for the paper and pulp industries, and now it's staying on there because medicinal marijuana creates unwanted competition for the painkiller industries because marijuana, unlike any other painkiller, is not physically addictive to any degree (in other words, your body can't start to depend on it to function), and has practically no side effects.
The risks drugs have attached to them are mainly due to the fact that they have to come from the black market. If they were legal, street gangs in the US would be practically obliterated overnight, and the entire mexican drug war over control of the mainland for growing would end. And also, since you wouldn't have to depend on shady people to get your marijuana, you wouldn't have to worry about other, much more harmful drugs being mixed in with it. That's the reason why a judge declared Canada's marijuana laws unconstitutional last week, in addition to an issue with the way medicinal marijuana works here.....

The risks drugs have attached to them are mainly due to the fact that they have to come from the black market. If they were legal, street gangs in the US would be practically obliterated overnight, and the entire mexican drug war over control of the mainland for growing would end.
Not exactly, most people involved in things like that don't know any other way of life. They'd find another thing to feud about, like other drugs.

I will not argue that point, considering it's a good one. If I could, I'd rather make hemp legal and alcohol and tobacco illegal.<---Really True
Fuck it! Lets make everything legal, the worlds over populated anyway. Please don't quote that.

Well, some stuff has to be illegal. I wouldn't want to legalize cocaine or heroin, but drug users (for THOSE drugs) should get mandatory rehab sentences if they get caught, not jail or a fine. And tobacco won't ever be outlawed because the government makes too much money off of it. Canada's healthcare system is funded almost completely (90-100%, depending on where you are) with tobacco and alcohol taxes, which is why our income taxes are actually lower than yours (Assuming that you're an american) :)
And thanks, btw

Lol. I know. I was only joking.
Here is where I think I draw the 'o so blurry line' on drugs. If used safely in a safe environment where harm to anyone but the user is unlikely then I guess I'd legalize that.
And thanks, btw
You're welcome.;)

Making things illegal just makes people want it more. Just look at prohibition. Once alcohol was made illegal, the demand went up two or three times the normal.

This. When implemented correctly legalization would reduce the number of users overall, would be better for giving the people that still use it help and most importantly would make it much much harder for minors to obtain the substance.

Well, the price went up two of three times the normal, but not because demand went up. Demand went down, and supply went down sharply. Since the drop in supply was unbelievably massive in comparison, due to the increased risk to producing it, the price rose by a lot

I remember posting in here when I first joined saying that I did once or twice.. but I'm not going to check back to see if I actually did post that. Regardless, I've been smoking a lot more recently. Every weekend or so. I have about one more bowl left, and was planning on smoking that tonight and then trying to get some more before 4/20, haha.
I hate talking about it though. It's just something I do for fun either by myself or with friends. I hate people who talk about it so much, almost like bragging.

Actually, the amount of users would most likely increase due to its new accessibility. And sure regulations would make it extremely hard for minors to buy, but not exactly harder to obtain. Legalizing it would put marijuana in many households across the United States. This would allow children to access it quite easily.

More accessible true. But as a society we would be able to look a weed differently. The assumption that most people who try weed will love it and become regular users is wrong. People overall would be more educated on the drug and would be able to try it and decide for themselves whether or not it's something they want to do. Plus, I think you'd be suprised to find it's not that hard to obtain for many people in the first place. Not to mention the amount of weed users/sellers below the age of 21 is a huge chunk of the total and would have a much harder time obtaining it.

How so? Parents don't let kids access their drugs(alcohol, meds, weed etc) easily. And like I said most people won't become regular users so it's not like there'll be a stash in every household.

People who want to smoke weed will get it no matter what. Legalizing it won't make a difference. If I wanted to, I could go ask my friend for some. It's already easy to obtain.

Sure, there will be some that don't and some that do like to get high. But I believe that there will be more that like it then not considering the amount of stress the current generations are under. Many people know the harm of smoking but they still don't try to quit. I know that it is VERY easy to obtain, but if it were legalized it'd be even easier and less dangerous to get.

I'm pretty sure padlocking your refrigerator and medicine cabinet isn't common in many american households. I'm sure many would become regular users.

Sure, I know that. It will make a difference, it will allow the people that were afraid to buy it (due to it being illegal), to buy it. Like this guy, not saying he is afraid because it is illegal, but he is an example.
I have not. Would I? Possibly. If it weren't illegal, definitely.
It's already easy to obtain.
Yes it is. It's too easy.

So, your point is that you don't want more stressed out people to access marijuana (which would help their stress)? No, it would make it harder to obtain for me. Right now, there are about five places I could go to get weed (just off the top of my head) and it only costs me the price of the weed and possibly a bus pass. That's easy. If it were legalized, but there was an age limit on it, it would be extremely hard for me to get it from a store. I'd have to have a fake ID (or some other means of faking my age) to even get a license (which would cost a lot of money) to be able to buy it from a store clerk, who can still refuse it to me if he thinks I'm underage. On the street, there are no restrictions. A paying customer is a paying customer. They'll sell to anyone with money.
I'm pretty sure padlocking your refrigerator and medicine cabinet isn't common in many american households. I'm sure many would become regular users.
Do you honestly believe that most parents make their drugs (whether it be medicine or alcohol) that accessible?

I think people are afraid to buy it because it's illegal and they'd rather not go into a dingy jail cell.

No, that wasn't my point. It was merely used as an example to show why people would want to use it. There are many much better ways to cope with stress. That was also my point, it would make it harder for minors to buy, but not exactly harder to obtain nor easier. And yes, that is why buying it from the street is dangerous.
Do you honestly believe that most parents make their drugs (whether it be medicine or alcohol) that accessible?
Yeah, I do think many parents make it that accessible. Every parent I know doesn't lock their refrigerator or their medicine cabinet. I'm pretty sure nobody does.

Exactly, the more that don't do it because it is illegal the better. The drug cartels in the United States would go bankrupt and leave if everyone didn't participate in the use of drugs.

But why do you care so much? Weed isn't some dangerous drug. Weed doesn't make you violent. Weed, for the most part, is harmless. This thread is about weed, not every drug on the face of the Earth. It's a thing people do for leisure activity. You don't seem to understand that weed isn't a dangerous drug.

No, I don't smoke it. I don't see anything wrong with pot, as long as the people smoking it don't affect me. I think it is beneficial in some purposes. My mother smokes a joint every day since I can remember to handle her BPD. I'd rather her relaxed and high on weed than freaking out and yelling.

I care so much because the stupid people in congress dont know how to handel anything. I'm not saying I could do it all, but I'm sure most other people could do a better job. I'm fully aware that the drug itself isn't dangerous nor are the effects but it does impair you slightly and could ruin your life. The activity tied to the drug is the dangerous part.

Narcotics impair you slightly and can ruin your life. See what saying that does? Nothing, since most narcotics are legal and have more dangerous side effects than weed does. And what is so dangerous about the activity? There are multiple meanings. Explain what you mean.

Actually the word "narcotics" is used mostly top refer to illegal drugs and most of the legal ones don't have harsh side effects other then the risk of becoming addicted. Also, the strong legal narcotics are most normally administered in a hospital setting. Other narcotics require a legitimate doctors prescription. And yeah other illegal drugs, even a few legal drugs, are more dangerous then marijuana. Many people that are involved in selling, using, and buying drugs are also involved in various other illegal activities. I have explained everything and everything I said can be read in my previous posts.

Then what is with your anti-usage, then? In the grand scheme of things, it is safer to use alcohol. It is rarer to find a violent stoner than there is a violent alcoholic. Do they exist? Of course they do.
