weed in today's society

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

its so not overrated... weed doesnt make you feel like you are getting kicked in your mommy and daddy buttons all morning

I'll give you that.

It also doesn't give you false confidence in situations such as driving, where someone who's heavily under he influence of alcohol may underrestimate their level of intoxication.

AND, i should point out that there ARE strains (altho rare) that leave your head clear, but put a smile on your face. I think i remember hearing it has something to do with how strong it is, b/c the less you have to smoke to achieve desired effects, the fewer side-chemicals you absorb, which i believe cause the 'stony' feeling, and confusion/tiredness.

I think if it was legalized, and there was some sort of quality control, along with creating laws not to ban the use, but dictate when/where it's used (such as driving/public useage, etc.) it has beneficial relaxation/anti-stress applications.

But a combination of where the black market money goes/ people flaunting it's use/ using at inappropriate times and places/ use by such a young group of the population, bars adults from responsibly using, or atleast admitting using it, and are creating barriers to it's legalization.

i smoked the most in high school. hell mostly during school hours. looking back it seems like such a waste of time.

Same here, at some point it stopped being an 'enhancement' to normal social activities, and became more of a replacement.

I liked brock's point of view on this. Just the one thing i dont like about pot was large groups of classmates doing it before class... and just giggling in class for 2 and half hours straight. Oh yeah, my friend who was under the influence of pot, made a bad judgement and ran across the freeway and got hit by a semi...

i smoke every day and function just fine. that first sentence is for all you ppl that want to argue about weed. anyway, my life consists of waking up to go to class, then after class i go to work.. then i get off work at 5 PM and thats when it begins.. i purchase about an 8th (sometimes 2 8ths when i smoke my friends out a lot that week.. but we smoke each other out all the time 'so give and ye shall receive') .. ill usually bring home whatever weed i have left at night and smoke the night away out of my glass bong.. while "marinating", ill be watchen TV or frequenting this forum ,chatting with friends on AIM, playing counter-strike, masturbating, or doing some other activity i find more interesting while sedated. i smoke any chance i get but i NEVER smoke before i go to class.. im not stupid enough to do that, that's wasting money.. money on weed and money on tuition.. oh, and a waste of time also. yes im a responsible daily marijuana user.. i TRY to avoid being high while doing homework because well, ill put off homework for later.. but sometimes ill do it while high.. weed makes me lazy yes, but i like to reward myself after i finish my day's tasks.. if i could teach the world to be a thug in harmony, then i would teach the whole wide world to be a thugster just like me! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

i usually dont post on here b/c i like to just sit back and read wut everyone else has to say...it kinda keeps my day goin while im here at work...but i decided to post to this b/c i do smoke weed....everyday...and when i say everyday i mean like 4-5 blunts a day on the weekdays and unlimited amounts on the weekend..this is no BS...and other than maybe being a lil tired in the morning it doesnt effect my life at all really...i have a good job, i am 20 yrs old, i own 2 cars and i am currently buying a house...shit call me stupid or w/e else but i smoke b4 work and sometimes leave on my hr lunch break and go smoke...it just relaxes me and makes everything funner... i just dont understand why people make it such a big deal about smoking weed...i dont drink alcohol never have and probably never will, i dont smoke cigarettes, the only drug i do is weed..and until the day comes that weed has some kind of controll over me i will continue to use it...i honestly think it should be legalized but the fact is its never gonna happen anytime soon...i just get pissed off b/c all these people say it effects your decision making and it does this or it does that...ive only been smokin for like 3 yrs now but ive smoked heavily since i started and ive yet to experienece any major problems...so until someone steps up and says ive smoked marijuana for so and so yrs and thats it nothing else, and i have lung cancer or some other cronic illness from marijuana, im not stiopping...b/c i dont know about you but i have yet to hear that from someone living on this earth...

Dont you have a thread *****ing about being like 22 years old and living with your dad still?

You dont see any connection between dropping cash on dope, and still living with your parents?

Think about it man.......//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Just to be fair, there's plenty of douchebags who still live with their parents at that age, who dont smoke //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ok...OMG, where do I start. For whoever said they have an "out of body experience"...obviously...your stuff was laced with something else....and you dont know the "main source" of where you're getting it from.

As far as it screwing up your depth perception and decreasing your reaction time.....I drive every night ripped as hell, and NEVER have i been stopped, or ticketed. I drink.. BUT i dont drive...which means If I feel like i cant drive because im to high, I wont, because im smart like that. ALSO....my friends and I have been athletes all our lives...and this includes hitting a 70-85 MPH baseball. IF my reaction time is screwed up even a .01 of a second....do you think I would be able to hit an 85 MHP baseball...repetatively, and do a hell of a good job doing it. Maybe if I was ripped...then ya, ok it could change your depth perception and reaction time.

As far as health and what not....How many of you who smoke...TRIED IT while you were drunk????? DUHHHH because THAT is the real gateway DRUG...Alcohol.. Also...Marijuana smoke is healthier....there is jsut more tar in marijuana...if you cant understand that...BECAUSE...the particles in it are bigger than tobacco in cigaretts...therefor, your lungs dont absorb as much of it because the particles cant get there as easily.

For whoever said it just makes you lazy and not want to do anything all day....There are different kinds of Marijuana...There are the Indica's...which are used medicinally for people who have trouble sleeping, and they tend to give you a more lazy high...its called "couch lock" Then there are the Sativas...often used for enhancment smoking. This kind of pot can put you in a party mood, or make you want to go out and do activities. Even when I smoke Sativas late at night...yea it makes me tired, but not to the point where I want to go to sleep. I will just sit on the cough unitl 3 in the morning, enjoying doing nothing.

Then there is the "whatever it is" pot.....often called Beasters....nobody knows what it is because nobody knows where the hell it came from....thats why one kind you might smoke and it will put you on your ***...reason being is because its horribly grown. Its a foggy high, lazy high, and not enjoyable...doesnt taste the best, and has that thick yellow smoke when smoked out of a bong.

wheeeeeeeeew

and no I did not go to weed college....learned from the best

hello everyone. Normally..I sit and just read all the huge *** loads of info on here and laugh at everyone who argues with eachother, ive been on this site for about 6 months now and havent really felt a need to post until now.

Im 18 years old and smoke weed everyday of my life. Its usaully with my best friends, sometimes with other people. We usaully go through about a half ounce a day, whether it's in the form of a blunt or through the bong, or loading the bowl on the hookah. Weed itself has paid for alot of my hobbies. Turning over a 1/4lb at a time yields some fair profits the 3rd or 4th time around. I dont live at home because "I dont have money for anything else" a 1/4 of weed costs $25-$30 people, you cant say you live at home beacuse "marijuana is draining your funds" get real.

I dont see weed as a "problem" in society. I graduated top 5 in my class with a 4.0GPA and have colleges wanting me in multiple states. Right now im carrying a good job and living up the best summer of my life. I dont think its right to view weed as something that can ruin your life, yet go to the store and buy a case of busch and go home and get drunk. I had the love of my life taken by a drunk driver in a head on collision, yet when someone gets a DUI, they get a slap on the wrist and sent on the way. God forbid though if someone gets caught with a dime bag on them, lets arrest them interstate drug smugglers eh?

I dont do any other drugs and won't condone the use of them. Yes, it damages your lungs as do many other things, im sure people who live in LA or other large cities can vouch for how bad smog is. or maybe I should ask my mother who is currently dying from lung cancer from a company who mass produces products designed to do one thing..kill the consumer. I'll stick to mother nature's remedy.
