That's just like saying "That girl Nicole is horrible, I've heard so much bad stuff about her. A lot of people seem to like her but I hate her. I've never talked to her or been around her though." How can you rightfully form an opinion if you have no personal experience with it? I'm not going to try and change your opinion about pot, there's nothing wrong with no agreeing with it, but saying it's stupid just kinda bugs me.

Unless you don't believe in Canada.

Hahaha that last statement made me laugh pretty hard.

But I'm not saying it's 100% not true. I'm sure if someone smokes pot like someone would smoke cigarettes it could have that effect. In Amsterdam, pot is legal, if pot had that quick of an effect were if you smoked it a few times you would get cancer or something of the sort, I'm sure they wouldn't make it legal.

It's pretty sad that there exists people in this world who do want to hurt others and that is what you're doing. Trying to influence people about this isn't right. Marijuana is illegal and is in fact a gateway drug to even worse drugs. Pot can even cause birth defects if you're smoking it while pregnant so you may not be hurting yourself but you'll be hurting the life living off of you. Let's hope you choose not to pro-create.


GET OVER IT.
I am not some DARE stereoptype.
I took dare, and a lot of what they said was bull.
ALCOHOL causes birth defects too, genius and that is legal.
It isn't no fucking peer pressure, I just know almost everything there is to know about pot.
EINSTEIN smoked it.
I'm not saying you should smoke it. I'm saying you should respect my right to smoke it because it isn't hurting anyone.
I would never infuence someone to smoke pot.
You're so brainwashed you assume the worst.

Ok, the big font is a little much, but... Eh.

Yes, Albert might have smoked pot, but back in his time, it was not as potent as it is now, due o all the crap we can sneak into pot/weed/whatever now adays.
Alcohol is legal, but only if you manage to survive to the age of 21 to buy it. Which, lets face it, is a hard feat to do nowadays.

I respect everyone's right to smoke, drink, or pill pop. Why? Because I feel that if you want to do that to your self, if you can afford it, and it makes you feel good, the sex amazing, or what ever, then go for it. I am not going to say that drugs are bad Mmkay? Because we know that, but most of use just DONT CARE.

Is that the point you are trying to make? If not, then wow I missed it big time xD

Oh, and to clear it up with everyone, I only take my presciptioned drugs, and personally, weed would most likely be a LOT cheaper, but eh... I can't even stand smoking a ciggy <//3

Zane Troy 12-30-2007 06:31 PM

I most defenitly don't, but my sister used to and it was so stupid because everyone knew she did, but she still tried to hide it by overdosing on cheap perfume.

naida 12-30-2007 07:20 PM

I don't smoke it, I'm waaay to young...
But anyway, even if I had the means to, including money, I wouldn't.
I don't like the idea of smoking stuff non-stop, and maybe pot doesn't harm you or whatever, but I hate the notion of smoking simply because of a personal hatred of it -- two people I was very close to died from smoking.
A third person I know... is on their way there.
I don't think I ever will try drugs... and I hope I stay thinking the same way when I get to uni.

Takuto 12-30-2007 07:26 PM

I would never do it.
It seems to be a waste of money. Even if it isn't illegal, you still get in trouble if you use it if a police man knows. It may not kill you, but it does make you more unhealthy. Being unhealthy just kills you in the long run. You can die from it if you smoke it through the nose. I can never see myself doing it like how my friends do.

But being healthy saves you in the long run.
I mean even though Pot cannot kill you instantly like other drugs, it probably does decrease years in your life. Many people have different views of the future, but one year of living more will make me completely happy.

Tension 12-31-2007 03:25 AM

  • I havent, and I probably won't.

    However, it's better for you than drinking is. It's funny reading some of these replies haha.

    Pot really doesn't hurt you that much at all. I had to do a school project on it, and find why it's bad for you. I.. basically couldn't find anything that wrong. And looked horrible up there next to the LSD group.

    I was basically like, "It's bad for you, but not as bad as drinking. No one's died from it.. and.. it should have more of a right to be legal than drinking should."

My Cup Of Chai 12-31-2007 03:29 AM

Eh, I'm not really into the whole pot thing. I have a friend who smokes it, and he actually smoked it on the porch of my apartment (was not so happy about that one). I don't know if it was because he had been drinking as well, but he was really paranoid after smoking it. :S

And then my friend (who was a little more than buzzed) decided to go swimming in the pool... some how she got him to jump in... @[email protected] That was interesting.... He jumped out really quick because it was cold, and then just paced back and forth because my friend refused to get out of the pool.... >.<

The whole thing was weird and a bit stressful, pretty good excused not to smoke or over drink. And especially not at the same time. : S

Cloth Roses 12-31-2007 04:33 AM

@ Tension: I still have to disagree about the lack of information, these days, you can find hundreds of medical reports on the effects of marijuana on a person.

If I might ask, where were you looking? Because even Wikipedia has an extensive article on it, with many citations to medical reports on the effects.

However, I also must agree that some of the responses are a tad ridiculous and not as well-thought out as they could be.

Reya 12-31-2007 05:28 AM

I will admit i dont know what im talking about so please dont judge. These are just opinions and guesses....

I think that it does harm you, maby not kill you in the short term, but like most drugs kills braincells and has long term and long lasting effects. I dont like that.

This is more of a personal issue, but i dont like being out of controle. I have complete controle over myself and my actions at all times, even if i dont seem like it. I will never, if i can help it, put myself in a situation that i might do something i might regret later(mostly im worried about eating meat.I is veggie.)This is a major issue about me, i refuse to sleep in front of people and i refuse to take things like painkillers that might impare judgment. I had a oralsurgery done and i absolutly refused to be put to sleep, i would have done it with nothing before being put under. So, getting to the end of my rant and accualy to the point, i dont want to get high, i think things out and i do not want that to leave. I have stoner freinds and i have seen how totally idiotic they act(amusing yes, but moronic all the same. accually it hularious, but only if its not me.)I never want to act like that!

And my final argument, it smells HORRIBLE!! I hate the smell! I dont think its worth haveing to smell lie that! (Even if one time my freinds said it was spposed to smell like mango...i dont know. it still smelled bad.)So...EWW!

My freinds have asked me to smoke with them and ive declined, :shrugg: maby one day ill just go with it. I dont know. Whatever.

Ok, rant over!

If you ever do decide to smoke weed, even just once, take my advice. Do it with someone or some people you trust. Don't do it with a group of kids you just met. Do it with an old friend or something. You want to make sure you're with someone who's going to help you through the first high.

Satomi 12-31-2007 05:43 AM

I don't smoke pot, and I don't think you can die from overdoes if you're healthy. But if your very unhealthy, like maybe have a bad heart or cancer or something that makes you very vulnerable, you might be able to die from inhaling the smoke and such. You can also die by choking on pot!

Ya, Thats smart. I know the group, their freinds. I dont think im going to tho. Ive got enought shit to deal with without having to worry about drugs too! I dont think its worth it. :shrugg: Im sure it works for somepeople, but somehow i doubt it will do anything but stress me out(when im not high). Id rather do kendo. Im kinda freaked also, i guess all thoes "drugs are bad, they kill" lectures at school paid off for the teachers, i think that i dont have the courage to accually smoke anything. Well, if i had that kind of courage, i wouldnt be here, why am i such a chicken?

Ya, but i didnt think you could really OD on pot. Oh well. Id kind of be like dieing in a fire, with no fire...o.0.

You could also choke to death on a spork, so are you saying all objects that are chokable, (like the poor innocent spork) should be illegal? you can choke on anything, its not only pot...

Alaunt 12-31-2007 06:21 AM

I don't do pot, nor do I ever intend to. As I noticed some people saying, pot may not kill you immediately, but it is very unhealthy.

Damballah 12-31-2007 06:57 AM

Grass, Weed, Pot, Cannabis, Hemp, Herb, Ganja...it all boils down to inhaling unfiltered smoke into your lungs, from a substance that is known to have some side effects. Chronic cough, short-term memory loss, broken brain synapses, lowers inhibitions, promotes lethargy, personality changes...the list goes on and on. And trust me, I tried it in college. It wasn't as daring then. I truly disliked the feet-off-the-ground sensation, and the lethargy. I'd rather be up and running, with brain intact, rather than trying to figure out which foot goes after which.

  • I already remember what I've done on drugs. o_O
    Yes, people were hurt by my drug abuse (NOT marijuana, and this is a different situation because it was not just recreational anymore) and I have also been hurt by other people's abuse. But that is abuse. Not just use.

    You "don't have a fucking heart" if you can only think negative things about drug users and abusers. Through the worst of my addiction I became closer to more people than I pushed away and I learned to be more caring for others. I found out that some people who seem to have it all together, who are doing so well on their career paths, whose talents I admire... I found out some of those people are or were major drug addicts. I don't regret anything I've done in my life. In fact, I am happier to have done drugs than be ignorant and uncaring towards a whole part of humanity like most people in this thread.

And now, I'm not saying that just because it's fun, it's good. Sure there are better ways to have fun, but there are worse ways, too.

And I smoke pot because it gives me a philosophical sense of life. It just makes me understand things. In kind of a screwed up sense. I know the things I tell myself when I'm high are pretty much crap, but when you're there, you see EVERYTHING.

And as far as F's go, meh. I think straight F's indicates some signs of failure. I'm actually quite an interesting person to talk to, but my grades don't reflect my intelligence. I'm a C student.

But were they really successful of their own accord or because they had pot/other possible drugs to help them along? I, personally, would rather be success based on my own achievements without outside help.

It's good how? Yeah, I know it's not the worst thing but still doesn't make it a good thing. That really doesn't justify smoking pot.

You see everything... Why don't I get the feeling, with your words, that you have a "philosophical sense of life?" I feel liking obtaining a philosophical sense of life is a time-taking experience of life... It shouldn't be instantaneous or require the use of anything outside of your own mind.

As for the grades... it's different where ever you go. Thanks to where I have grown up and where I was educated, I would feel as though I am failing with a C grade. In my world, C was practically never considered the "average" but "below average."

Edit: Sorry, Lord Orpheus is my mule, to avoid any confusion ^^;

memarcus 01-01-2008 10:10 AM

I don't smoke pot, but a bunch of my friends do. Observing their behavior has convinced me never to try it. Essentially the feeling of being high only lasts for a couple moments, and then immediately afterwards pretty much everybody feels worse or like crap. Also, without knowing where the product came from can make terrible things happen to your mind in which you can be hallucinating for hours. Yeah, a couple moments of exhilaration and then feeling like absolute crap doesn't appeal to me at all. Not to mention the terrible things it does to your body, especially since the smoke from products like that actually mess up your lungs worse than cigarette smoke (I think because you often hold the smoke in longer) It may have medicinal properties, but it also does a lot of bad stuff to your body too. You can also act pretty idiotic if you're high too, so I would rather like to be aware of my actions.

Sitting there dazed and being retarded isn't exactly how I want to spend my days. I'd rather have a good paying job, hang out with drug free friends, actually live my life and be aware of it.
Quit the abuse, there's nothing good about it.
And what makes you think you can convince others that doing drugs is right? When you do drugs your mind becomes impaired and eventually you start to deteriorate from the inside out. It's been proven by science and example.

Exactly what I as going to say. Drugs are stupid, and the only reason people do them is to look cool around other people who do them. It makes you look dumb, like you can't do anything. Can you not have fun with out drugs? Some of my friends tried it, they said it was stupid and pointless. And it is, I don't see how anyone can say drugs aren't bad. There is plenty of proof out there that they are, and to say the are good, you know somethings wrong.

Wynna 01-02-2008 01:01 AM

i don't and I think that I will never do it, I know that my brother has tried it and a couple of my friends.

I just don't agree with drugs and their effects on people. That's one of my own personal opinions and one of my values.

---well i think you would smoke pot, considering your user name is Canabliss. **Canabis

Chizuna 01-02-2008 01:14 AM

Drugs such as "pot", smoking, or drinking fall into the same catigory in my book. Simply because they're all things that I'd rather avoid doing since I perfer to be comletely aware of what I say and do.

wuyarox 01-02-2008 01:23 AM

yeah i did the first one.
but i dont really care if it can kil you or not!
