Weed.

I use it on occasion. Usually it's either in *special* cooking, or via a vaporizer. I consume alcohol in moderation, but I avoid tobacco smoke. Cigarette smoke in particular makes me physically ill (headaches + nausea).

It's going to ruin you're life. End of story. Just say 'no' to drugs

And how do you know it's going to ruin my life? Also, as an adult, it it my choice to decide what substances I do and don't put into my body (whether legal or not). I know that it is illegal.

Also, what about cases of people around the wold who have actually benefited from the proven medicinal properties of marijuana? I also find it very strange for alcohol and tobacco to be legal when they cause many more problems than marijuana use does.

But! Isn't it true that Marijuana damage your body even though it still damages your body? There are still pros to it, but many more cons.

Is it true that marijuana damages the body even though it damages the body? Uhh, no.
In fact, there is no link with marijuana to any bodily damage, except lung cancer after excess use for an entire lifetime. It's hard to describe excessive use to someone who isn't a stoner, but to try my best, marijuana causes lung cancer at an extremely lessened rate than cigarettes. You've have to smoke like 10 times as much before you'd get lung cancer, and that's assuming you smoke continuously for an entire lifetime (i.e. you start smoking at thirteen, a half ounce a week, for forty years). Even at my most stoned self, I smoked merely a quarter ounce a week. And considering there is weed that gets you high with less smoke, there really is no need to smoke a half ounce a week, and lung cancer is completely avoidable. Not to mention alternative methods, such as eating it.
I believe your final statement is backwards. There are cons to weed, but many more pros.

true that - weed is actually healthier than cigarettes, after analysis. Weed don't have tar compounds in it, which are more likely to cause cancer to begin with, but cigarettes, and don't lets forget barbecued meat of any stripe, have more cancer-causing compounds than weed does, get over it.

And don't forget that weed can actually be used to make rope, and the seeds can be used as a spice in baked dishes quite legally, even if you're someone who doesn't think that weed should be legalized. Either way, it's a divided house; some people just won't condone weed use, or won't use it at all, while others do use it regularly.

It actually does have the tar in it, but in not nearly the quantities that cigarettes do. But items like water pipes and vaporizes do away with this problem. It's commonly cited that weed has X times more tar than an equal amount of tobacco, but the facts that they don't include are: you need 1/5 as much weed to get you high as you do tobacco, cigarette smokers smoke many times more often that stoners (since the effect of a joint lasts hours, while the effect of a cigarette lasts minutes), and the tar compounds in a cigarette far outweighs the tar compounds in the tobacco plant due to all the other shit in them.
Bob Marley didn't die from smoking. The Marlboro Men (all three of them) did.

And don't forget that weed can actually be used to make rope, and the seeds can be used as a spice in baked dishes quite legally, even if you're someone who doesn't think that weed should be legalized.

Which is why marijuana was required by law to be grown in the olden days. It's uses go far beyond that.

Either way, it's a divided house; some people just won't condone weed use, or won't use it at all, while others do use it regularly.

Which is where the rule of thumb comes in: Just because you don't want to use it doesn't mean it's just for you to pass a law that says I can't.

i would say weed is amazing! idk why the f@ck its illegal

Its just some American poison designed to kill us or get us really sick so we go to doctors so they make more money ff us then when where in the hospital they make you pay for stuff you dont need and they make more money then when your dead you pay like 10,000$ for your funeral

MONEY!

You guys need to learn what the fuck you're talking about. If weed is so bad, why do they(doctors) prescribe it. I smoke weed everyday, and I seem more then able to go trk, or school, or have a better social life then 90% of you kids on this website, honestly, weed isn't even a drug anymore, it's a lifestyle now. You have no idea the people I know and how high places they are in society that smoke weed. Just because you can't enjoy weed like the other 80% of the world, don't say stupid shit to try and turn us off of it, because we'll just go get high, and make fun of you.

Congrats. I was also able to maintain high grades (4.0) and a social life. I never had a job specifically, but I did odd jobs in programming and made a few hundred dollars, and many of my most advanced programs were written under the influence.

Weed is yucky xD Well, I wouldn't know, if a fourteen-year-old was smoking weed that'd be bad. :/

I used to do it once a week.
But then I realized my short term memory started going away.
But I kept it goin for another year.
Now I quit since the beginning of the summer.
Sure I gained some weight since quitting.

I say legalize it.
Cigs are WAY more dangerous and hazerdous to your health.
So why are they legal -.-

No lie. I couldn't remember more than a week into the past. Excluding knowledge, such as how to do mathematics and the like. But as for what I had done and who I had met and all that, it was lost in the realm of my memoryless brain.

Well im 13 and i smoke weed.
Lol. Age really doesn't matter.

Many believe it affects the development of the brain, which isn't that far of a stretch - drugs do affect brain development. The question is to what extent. If I'm not mistaken, mothers who smoked weed during pregnancy only experienced underweight children. Mental health was fine in them, so that should say that it only affects physical development.
I didn't smoke at such a young age, so I can't comment first hand on what affects it has on development.

I never tried one, bad for my health i think.

Why do you think its bad for yuor health?
Did you even read the things Chief has
said? ._.

Ive thought on trying weed, and I still think I wont but, after thinking long and hard, the risks are greater than the benefits.

I dont care if people do weed, as it isnt that bad. I just wont do it myself.

What risks? >_>
Especially, what risks of doing it once?

Mkaes me feel high.

It's alright. Its a pussy drug.

By pussy drug you mean one of the only ones that don't destroy your life?
Lmao.

Weed sucks!! I mean, I like the affect, but the second time I got like really high, My dimondback bike got stolen. SO i quite, because I forget everything.

Weed caused your bike to get stolen? Oh, okay.

I forgot to bring it in while at my friends house. But i guess i did get to eat all his fudge pop sickles.

Your bike got stolen because Weed slows down your reaction of things around you but u get a killer appetite. Plus weed stinks....yuk

No it doesn't. If being the local ping pong champion doesn't involve the best reaction times, IDK what does. Not to mention all tests have shown that driving high is just as easy as driving sober.

It's perfect for manipulating the masses. For personal use, I have found that it's not my favorite way of pleasuring myself, my personal favorite way of pleasuring myself is just pleasuring myself.

Uhm, by that do you mean masturbation?

Yes he does, even though masturbation and Cannabis affect two separate areas of the brain.

Both cause the same type of effect, being Euphoria. Weed actually causes Euphoria, whereas an Orgasm is "Euphoric" indicating it's an act that is done in order to give ones self extreme pleasure or Euphoria.

Edit; Weed does diminish reaction times; it also lowers brain activity as well as causing involentary muscle relaxtion, but no more than being tired; ALOT less than if you were to get drunk (: it also drops concentration, although when focusing on things like driving, you tend to sober up amazingly fast.

Edit2; After smoking every fri and sat for around 3 years i finally finsihed school (living in UK that was @16); i started going to college, after a few months i started smoking around an eigth a day between 3 people, hosting ten to get in parties on weekends, generally smoking blunts but often not - i eventually realised i had a dependancy on cigarettes, even without weed.

Weed is easily addictive, but not in the sence of MSGs but in the general sence that your brain can choose to make it a dependancy, but that works for anything - most people don't realise that they have a coffee dependancy, etc - but sadly weed is slightly more expensive than coffee.

The health risks for weed are few, but they do still exist; things such as short term memory loss, the tar contained in canabis can lead to lung cancer when smoked in rediculous amounts, etc. But the health risks linked to weed are only there because weed is generally smoked with tobacco, and tobacco leads to loads of health risks.



Weed also doesn't promote risk taking behaviour, like alchohol - and is therefore, in places where it's legal, is concidered more socially acceped than alchohol. Shame the UK doesn't see it like that. ^^

Except euphoria can be accomplished through different areas of the brain - different types of euphoria. It's like your saying crack cocaine and weed do the same thing. You'll quickly learn in any General Psychology class that the brain can produce multiple types of 'good' feelings, each one specifically different. The euphoria that meth causes (similar to orgasmic euphoria, but ~10 times stronger) is highly addictive, both mentally and physical. The euphoria that weed causes is only sometimes mentally addictive. So the way the 'euphoria' is achieved is extremely important. Someone addicted to meth would not be satisfied if they smoked weed, thus the effects are different. Of course it's smoked to 'feel good' and what-not, but when physical addiction is added in (which orgasm can cause), the euphorias cross a defined line into different, even amongst multiple drugs that cause physical addiction.

It drops concentration unless you don't want it to, e.g. with driving and the like.
There was a time when I got high to study, because it helped me focus. It's all about mind-set.

The reason you can choose whether or not to make weed a dependency is because it's merely mentally addictive. Proper mentality will fix this right up. Physical addiction (cigarettes, meth, crack, etc.; not sure about caffeine), on the other hand, cannot be rid of through will power.

The health risks for weed are few, but they do still exist; things such as short term memory loss, the tar contained in canabis can lead to lung cancer when smoked in rediculous amounts, etc. But the health risks linked to weed are only there because weed is generally smoked with tobacco, and tobacco leads to loads of health risks.

Also, most risks come from *smoking* it. There are many ways of ingesting the drug that don't result in any of the above. Also, smoking weed is safer than smoking cigarettes due to the parts of the lungs it affects.

I have never smoked weed and not planing to i dont want to get addicted to it

I tried it once and honestly for people like me it makes me speed up. Where as everyone else relaxes I get super hyper ... so XD it's not really as fun for me as it is for other people. I much prefer getting drunk to being high

I'm not a pot smoker, but I still don't see anything wrong with it. Especially since we have cigarettes. And it doesn't really hurt anything, besides brain cells. (so I suggest if you are a first timer, just wait until you're out of school and have nothing to lose)

For those of you that think weed is natural and it can't hurt you?
Your completly wrong, weed does kill brain cells, not alot but it does kill brain cells non-theless.
I'm never going to do weed mainly because crap that's supposed to slow me down, speeds me up into a basic un-controlled rampage (no joke)

@Gamechief
Physical addictions can be rid through will power. My bro smoked for awhile, until one day he was in the car, said he was tired of the crap, and through the pack he was smoking out.

One of my friends just got busted (literally 2 days ago) for selling. he's a good guy, but he's made some dumb decisions and got cocky with his drug use.
