to introduce me to the world of drugs without me knowing it,I knew the room stunk, of what I did not know but I was getting a very bad headache so finally put 2+2 together and can say I very much did not appreciate their attempt to get me high.

LOL - Wanna know something, I'm 43 and I too never used drugs all my life. Not even one small hit or puff of pot. However, I had a similar situation as you were. You see, when I was about 19 years old, I use to belong in NJ Deaf Club and played softball for a few years before I'd moved down to Fla. Anyway, in one Summer season, we went to Montreal Canada for a softball tournament. And as we drove on the way to Canada, there were five of us guys in the car and here I was, sitting in the middle of the back seat minding my own business while they were smoking pot like crazy. It was bad enough that they were smoking pot, they wanted to keep all the door's windows shut, just in case, ya know...so, I'm like "Aw shit, get me the f*** out of here, I can't stand it any longer!!" And by the time we got there, I was pretty much in "high"... LOL So, I can understand where you were coming from...

This is the first time that I'm agreeing with you

I also think the drunks are worse than stoners.

But I know some friends who are heavy stoners. I compared them to drunkards whose behavior I have found to be worst than those who are stoners. That's my opinion.

Lol, actually one time I drank some red bull after I smoked, I turned into that guy!

Red bull + mary jane = stoner speed. lol. I heard about it, so I thought I would try it out one night.

Lets just say that the night didnt turn out well. lol. It makes you all hyper and paranoid. Never try it!

SilverPanda · 05-01-2006, 06:09 PM

I use it once in a while for special occassions such as July 4th etc and I have a lot of friends who use it so I have nothing against it but one thing I know for sure is that I'd rather ride in a car with someone who is high than drunk.

I think we should legalize pot and tax it. It will definitely make our economy BLOOM which is what we definitely need. There are high taxes on cigs and alcohol, etc.

I read somewhere that the reason why the gov't wont legalize pot is because they will not be able to control those who grow it for personal use.

HippieSnow05 · 05-08-2006, 07:48 PM

I hope this debate still going on because I've got to say something about this 420 issue.

Only I can say is two world of people who use it.

This cateogry is who people are well-educated, hard working and motivated to put world at better place for our children and grandchildren. They will just will be not an avid smokers but use as "once in while " users.

Honsetly, I'm not sure if you ever notice that there are highly professionals except "doctors" or suregons or whatever that cannot deal with this kind of drug but some highly professionals might just go home after really world-changing day and just to smoke it up and relax. I'm sure they dont smoke around children because they care.

Another cateogry is who people are un-motivated, become careless because they just want to be stoned, really stoned... forget about what world is really about and want to spend all on greenies which is not nesscary to do that. Some kind of hippies are like just wanna to be chilled or "fuck the world".

So you have think about what's good decision of drug use, of course I am not talking about over A-Z drug list. I am narrow to the point of this marijuana use.

Reba · 05-08-2006, 08:03 PM

I guess I'll never understand why people need to waste their money, and risk their reputation for pot. Why do they need pot to "relax"? It just doesn't make sense to me.

I don't get it either.

Why would someone start after learning about all the bad things pot does to you?!

Because nowdays are the most stressful everyday when honset people who are the users to try to make a change every day so they smoke it and relax after hard work. You have to understand people's cirmustance and view of lifestyle. It's not a lot to explain. You have to meet right people (not to the stoned-lazy people).

jazzy · 05-09-2006, 11:40 AM

Children are not that stupid, they would know if thier parents were smoking pot. They ended up smoke themsleves when they get older.

Lots of people face stress every day. That doesn't mean they have to use a drug to relax. They can take a walk, take a bubble bath, pray, chop wood, meditate, go for a swim, listen to music, dance, get a massage, or enjoy nature. Sometimes they just need to confront whatever is causing the stress, and make a life change that reduces or eliminates the stress.

How does it reduce stress by using an illegal drug? It seems that would increase stress because then they have to worry about finding a reliable source, and not getting caught. If they rake leaves, or soak in a tub, they don't have to worry about getting busted, losing their jobs, supporting unsavory dealers, or getting unexpected side effects from impure or "extra-strength" weed.

You're right. I understand but I'm saying that theres only two world of who use it that's all. Make it intersting whatever what it has on marijuana view.

Yes, not everyone smokes weed to relax, but you have to remember that some people are DIFFERENT. Just cuz others dont do that isnt a good reason to not do something.

You are right that there are other ways to relax, but sometimes weed is just much more effective than other things for THAT person. Like I said before, some people are different. Sometimes those things you suggested dont work for that person. Like HippieSnow05 said before, you gotta understand the person's cirumstances before you judge them. Also, just cuz its illegal doesnt mean it is wrong. The government isnt always right and sometimes let other people's interests shape their laws.

Plus, what about the ones who take legal meds to relax? Xanax or any other social anxiety drugs which have LOTS of side effects? They dont count cuz they are legal? Right? Drugs are drugs. Legal or not. Weed does basically the same thing which is to help you relax except its illegal and have less harmful side effects.

It isnt really that hard to find a reliable source if you know where to look, believe me, so its not really that stressful. The "unsavory" dealers are the ones who deal on the streets. Only idiots go to them. Otherwise, most of the sources are people the smokers know and are usually pretty good people overall and only sell if contacted. MOst even smoke themselves. As for getting caught, I know alot of people who have been smoking regularly for YEARS and they havent been caught. The secret? Dont do stupid shit that increases the possiblity of you getting caught. Most responsible smokers smoke in private or along friends in houses and take precautions, not out in public or places where it is easier for you to get caught. Most of the people I know who have gotten caught were reckless IDIOTS. As long as you dont do something stupid like smoking in a place where it is easy to get caught or go to a dealer on the streets or getting LOTS of weed at one time, I would say theres little to worry about.

As for gettting "impure" weed, weed is a plant that is grown and dried before smoked. Thats it. Its not chemically processed like other drugs. Heres a link on how weed is processed-

http://www.marijuanapassion.com/Dryi...Marijuana.html

Also, "extra-strength" is just another word for weed that has lots of THC. It doesnt cause unexpected side effects except it makes you higher.

That being said, I have never personally heard of people who have gotten unexpected side effects from weed. I m talking about people who have been smoking regularly for YEARS.

Now, I dont care if you smoke or not, but please be open minded about the ones who do. You will be surprised at how many regular people actually smoke. Not all are losers who sit around and smoke all day. They may be lawyers, doctors, businessmen, etc etc etc.

hootster · 05-09-2006, 07:33 PM

To those people who are wondering why anyone would smoke pot, I could say this to you- "Why do you (fill in the blank)? I dont understand! I mean, that is kinda stupid because (fill in the blank)."

This could apply to almost anything you do. Hobbies, vices, sports, extreme sports, etc etc etc.

Here is my point- People have their reasons for whatever crap they do. It doesnt matter if you understand or not.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

***~SG~*** · 05-14-2006, 04:39 AM

My own opinion of Marijuana, I would like to see it legalization, why? because the blackmarket wont be able to earn $$$, even the gang members too, plus it cut down putting innocent pot smokers in jail.

Also the prohibition is failing and it arent working, so it an waste of $$$.

Use drugs to reduce stress do not solve anything.

When I´m stress... I lovveeeee to soak in a oil bath and look at few candles...

When there´re good movie, I want to watch... I like to have a glass of red wine and watch on good movie on TV.

Make evening walking... and watch at sunset... it help to reduce stress... Why drugs...?

This is way better explianation because I think we should try educate people about this because sometimes they think we just take more drugs than "mota". I only can say, just dont judge them from their own exprience and their cirumstances.

Weed is wrong and pointless, yet red wine is ok? I mean, like weed, red wine does alter your mind and help you relax.

I dont understand the double standard.

Saline Eyes · 05-17-2006, 09:49 PM

If you aren't predisposed to alcoholism and enjoy wine in moderation, a glass of red wine can actually be beneficial to your health. From what I understand, there aren't any published studies showing the benefits of weed, aside from it being used as a controlled substance for those suffering from terminal illnesses? Not looking to quarrel here, I just don't know of any possible benefits to pot for the average smoker?
