What Y.o.u Know About Marijuana

[Yukin]

In your perspective and knowledge is it

Bad or Healthy? Misinformed? Good or bad for society? Useless? Is it actually a "gateway" drug? etc.

I'm trying to come to a personal consensus to whether I should be totally fine with doing it or not. I have not done any personal research as of yet. I just want to see what NGers think

I kid I kid, I don't think it's necessarily bad for you, but if you abuse it then yeah, it will harm you. Just like over the counter drugs if used irresponsibly.

[SpinkickScarface]

Despite popular belief there are two main types of smokers.

1. Deadbeat- You've heard about him all your life. If you smoke pot you will never be able to be productive or responsible unless you quit.

2. ?????- Who is this? This person eats desert after dinner and smokes a fat blunt after homework assignments, work, and other responsibilities are completed. ;) This person is you.

If you make it a habit to reward yourself with a bowl or a joint you may work harder, faster, and eager to smoke a nice bowl while watching Adventure Time with some friends.

Simple as that.

This.

Even my stoner friends laugh at the people who claim that weed is harmless.

I believe marijuana should be legal. When it's illegal, people who sell it can do whatever the hell they want to it and the consumers can't complain. The only time marijuana is truly dangerous is when it's cut with something that's dangerous. Marijuana does have long term effects but none worse than smoking, and that's legal. When you legalize it, regulate it and sell it for a better price than the dealers it is less dangerous for society as a whole, because if you legalize and tax it (but still sell it for a lower price) there is more money going to the government (whether they're misusing it or not doesn't matter.) and being cheaper there is less criminals stealing and hurting people for their next fix. Also, with it legalized it would be one less drug that would cause gang warfare.

I see no reason to not legalize marijuana in fact.

The point is, making it illegal is not going to wipe it off the face of the earth, and it will make things much better if it were just legalized already.

Do whatever you want to do.

It's not harmless but I doubt you'll ruin your health by trying it. Don't tell a soul either, because if you get caught the consequences are pretty severe.

It's not terrible, but anything used to excess, marijuana included, is disastrous for the body.

Hey guess what, idiots.

If you use a vaporizer, what you inhale does not damage your lungs.

[LolwutPolarbear]

As a daily user I find that it really doesn't change me all too much. I'm still able to make good grades, hold solid relationships and pursue my goals. There aren't any severe health problems if any at all to be honest with you.
Honestly there isn't much I can say, you really won't be able to understand what all the fuss is about until you try it out yourself.

[CalvinGodly]

I don't see it as that bad. To the health side of it, the only real thing that is bad about it is the smoke in which you inhale from it, if you use a vaporizer with it, there is no real permanent side effects from its use. But there is the social side of it, many people think that if you smoke weed, you automatically are a fucking idiot and is a worthless human being, which, IMO, is untrue.

Whenever I inhaled (I say inhaled because I never ever smoked it, I would always used a vaporizer) I was more active. When I went to go workout, I would inhale a little bit before my lifts, and because I was fucked up, I would lift until failure, then just drink my shakes and what not afterwords, needless to say, during that time, I got incredibly buff. The same effect came when I worked on school work, I would just keep reading and filling in answers that I would sometimes get extra credit when I turned in the assignment, especially in English class; some of the stories I came up with while high got me tons of extra credit, even a few of them were used as examples in her later classes.

But that is just my experiences with it...

But not like "OMG imma die!" bad for you.

In moderation (once a month) it's effect on your health is negligible.

Well of course... unless you are drinking battery acid... everything is fine in moderation.

That's apples to oranges and you know it. Any more Strawman Arguments you want me to destroy?

My friend had once told me taking marijuana puts you in a state of mind similar to just before you fall asleep? Have you heard of anything like that?

Weed is harmless if you're vaporizing or eating it.

Also the way it's smoked increases lung capacity through exercise.

[II2none]

It's a drug who gives a damn. Matter of fact I could careless if the usage of every single addicting drug or alchohlic beverage was punishable by death it would be very extreme and we'd have a fucked up government but it wouldn't effect my life outside of seeing a lot more pissed off people.

Seriously tthough, Live and let live, however I couldn't careless about whether weed is legalized or not.

Yeah, I've heard of this as well as experienced it. When I did fairly little at a certain time, It felt like I was day-dreaming constantly while still being able to move about and do regular things, and when I would do extreme amounts at a time, it was as if I was in a deep sleep, I would sometime actually have out-of-body experiences because of it, the most profound one that happened was when I was in my room, I had just inhaled quiet a lot of marijuana and then went to put everything away because I was about to lay down, then actually got in bed and laid down, while I was in this dream state, I saw myself laying exactly as I was when I got it, as well as my cat moving about my room; I seen the cat jump up on my computer table and lay smack dab on my keyboard, because of this, he typed a long line of letters in the start menu, after I got up, I went to go check my computer, and the same text that I seen in my "dream" was on my computer.

you're dumb if you think smoking is the only way to enjoy cannabis. actually you're not dumb, just misinformed, but you're dumb if you also make posts like "weed is for fags"

there are considerably less carcinogens in weed smoke than a cigarette, and studies have shown that weed smoke does not cause cancer (actually significantly reducing tumor growth in some cases) and it is much rarer to have permanent damage to your tracheal cilia with weed

there is no such thing as a 'gateway effect', or at least in the way policy makers believe. weed has no physical dependency and is actually fairly boring. some people look for harder stuff because they want to- and it just so happens that the white suburban kid who sells bud 'knows some guys'.

im assuming most people on the bbs have probably tried it once or twice, and base their beliefs on movies and from government programs a la DARE. ask questions. dont embarrass yourself.

also, vaporized weed and second hand smoke arent really comparable. no one even really knows how bad the latter is- but vaporizers are designed to only heat THC, which is totally safe to ingest.

[CalvinGodly]

With marijuana, the vast majority see the negative side-effects from it, and they never know the whole story. It is fine if you vaporize it. It still effects reaction time and brain function, but nothing permanent, so be smart around it and it goes without saying that you shouldn't drive while high, among other things. When I got high, I always had someone around me that was not high, just in case anything would happen, nothing ever did, but I always played it safe.

[chaos114]

I won't judge what you do smoking marijuana isn't really that bad but be careful how much you do.

Do not be smoking it everyday since it can cause serious problems (Health-wise) And level yourself to the amount you smoke as well...

Also make sure to not be mixing it with any other type of materials (Crack, cocaine, And such on) For it can cause Extreme major affects and even death..... :(

The way i see it marijuana isn't really "Bad" as long as you know how to smoke it safely but even if you do it's not 100% safe and it's still dangerous.... Just not as dangerous as smoking it everyday and not leveling yourself with the amount you smoke....

AND DO NOT DRINK BEER OR LIQUOR AND THEN SMOKE MARIJUANA (Weed) EVER!!!!!!!

[pickdon]

from what i know from weed specially from using it it has several health benefits but the key one is that it calms you down yet it also make you more alert

[CritcalOne]

People who do weed are losers. The people who say "I have a good life yet do weed" are lying, because who the hell has a good life and do weed? Weed is for the dumbasses and ghetto people to feel better about themselves for 20 minutes.

Don't get me started with the "in moderation" bullshit.

[Spilda-Bongwata]

drugs are bad

[RacistBassist]

I like how everyone goes straight to "You can use it without smoking!" even though odds are they smoke it like 98% of the rest of us

[Piggler]

I smoke almost everyday. I feel fine. I'm in honors classes and I ain't failing shit. Might as well enjoy my life.
