All of my friends are marijuana users as am I. In my days before smoking I was totally against smoking weed until one of my friends told me that they were doing it. I then watched him smoke up one day and then realized it wasn't so bad. Next time I had an opportunity to smoke weed I did, and I must say it changed me permanently. I would say for me, the good weighs out the bad. I must say before I started smoking weed I was a complete dork with no friends. but I have also seen pot wreck one of my close friends lives. I wouldn't completely blame it on pot but pot was definitely a factor in what happened. back about 3-4 years ago when I first started smoking weed, I felt like weed was the best thing on earth and was a necessity to happiness in life. it takes years of smoking to realize that, smoking weed is a privilege and you can have too much of a good thing. Marijuana has made me have a different outlook on life. I've seen it tear families apart and I've seen it benefit people in so many ways. For me, It's become a daily ritual. 4-5 times a day, but I dont smoke so much to get high even though I smoke around .4/sesh. I smoke to get my thoughts flowing and to escape from reality, Im just high rambling on but I wonder what is every one elses take on marijuana and its usage
 
I think cannabis is a personal issue. I'd rather control my experiences. I prefer a legal environment were there are no troubles. An organic indica that has no PCP on it is not a bad thing. People hate weed because they think it's a subversive act. I know cannabis to be peaceful and an attribute to a positive healthy life. People also think you can't have a beer and believe in religion at the same time. I don't think cannabis is subversive to religion or any form of American life.
 
i think the positives outweigh the negatives and the negatives have mostly 2 do with legal issues.i dont belive in religion wether im high or not lol.
 
I don't like people who think it's absolutely harmless and there's no way you can get addicted to it and it could never mess up your life. However, it is definitely, no questions asked much safer and less addictive than other narcotics.
 
Oh... I thought you meant your look as in... your look. As in... red eye, messy hair, cookie crumbs all over face.
 
For me personally, I was just like you 420toking. I HATED the idea of everyone smoking (though I was not a dork), but all my friends started to try it and I was so against it because it was a "drug". Then I was just so curious what the hype was about that I tried it...from there on I was a full fledge pothead, and I didn't even enjoy the high that much as I did the escape from reality. Now, ten years later I see how bad marijuana is for me. Not physically, but mentally. I can literally list about 1000 issues that weed has caused or made worse in this ten year period. From making my depression (which I didn't know I had when I started smoking) worse, to lowering my ambition and motivation which led me to not care about shit as I grew up...therefore leading me to not care about grades....Now I look back and realized that the first wrong road I took was deciding to smoke, and from there on, pot made me take the lazy, non-progressive forks in the road to put me where I am today....A security guard at 24 yrs old.

Its just depressing even thinking about what I let marijuana do to me. I had ambition, high grades, and a high will to live before I started to smoke....now I am just stuck in a rut for ten plus years...
 
Hey guys, kinda new to the forum but would love to share my 2 cents on the matter. Imo cannibis is harmless, if smoked responsibly. My parents were potheads and turned me on to it at 13 yr old. Great parents, I know. They were a bit mis guided. I believe it was one of the worst things they ever did because I loved it. I'm 33 now and still smoke daily. Weed is addictive on a phycological level. Your body does not build dependency to it however so to those who classify it as a narcotic have got their facts messed up. A stimulant, maybe a hallucinagenic with the extra good stuff but never a true narcotic. I was precribed a true narcotic and I will tell you I have become addicted to that physically in only 2 weeks. Stop taking it and get sick, real sick. I've smoked weed for 20 years and can go a week without and not have any side effects other than a little anxiety. It does kill motivation, for some. For others its a motivational tool. I used to smoke all day every day and it did effect my life and my motivation. My drive wasn't what it should have been. However 10 years ago I decided that I wanted much more in life. Didn't really alter my cannabis intake much but still built a life worth much respect. It's not the weed that was holding me back as some thought. It was just me. Over the past ten years I've changed a lot and cannabis is slowly fading away. I like to smoke only at night now before bed because it imo is the best sleep aid available. I've never had the urge todo other drugs. I have, because they were there and I like to try things but I've never been much of a hard drug type of person. The prescription drugs came about 5 years ago due to a sever back injury. Now, that crap is dangerous... Anyway, so my take on it is, people need to stay the help out of other people's personal buisiness. Those who think its from the devil and people who smoke cannabis are hard drug addicts are clueless and most likely have atleast one close friend that loves the Shit. Potheads are everywhere and in everything. Theirs absolutely nothing wrong with lighting one up imo. Just be nice to yourself, moderation is the key....
 
Interesting topic imo. I had barely smoked in 20 years, occasional here and there. I have had my battles with mostly alcohol (still) and heroin ( last used in "08"). My alcoholism has been a life long battle. detox, rehab, wash, rinse, repeat since i was around 24/25 y/o...im now 42.

About 6 months ago me and my Doctor had a heart to heart about my future and at that point i told her i was done battling alcoholism, i was just gonna ride it out and not worry about it, her response was you had better damn well worry, your liver is shot. She said her best guess was at my current rate of consumption (case a day), id be dead in 2 years. Kinda got my attention, may be a scare tactic on her part, but it still got my attention.

anyway, i was drinkin with my buddy who's a daily smoker not long after that, and i told him what she said. He pulls out his weed and said heres your answer...lol. We packed 3 bowls that night, i was wrecked, but I only had 5-6 beers all night...may be 10 all that day.

Thus began my reintroduction to weed. I smoke everyday now, i still drink daily, like a 6 pack all day, but thats a far cry from a case per day. This is merely my alternative. I dont recommend taking one drug to substitute another. But in my case this is the lesser of two evils, that and i thoroughly enjoy smokin. If weed helps me to slow my drinking down significantly then im gonna keep on puffin.
 
i can use everyday and work, go to the gym and eat food... and be happy ;P
ofc my wallet dont support this. But cannabis is incredible due to its strangely potent effects with other drugs and the chillness u get from it
 
the positive side of weed highly outweight the negatives when taken with responsibilty....its laughable that it is banned in uk and usa ...there are reason weed juice is seen as holy drink in indian culture from thousands of years...they find it so harmless that they used to give it to even crying babies( old times ) in very small quantities to shut them up and they start smiling lol.

When I was 18 I had already experimented with a lot of different drugs. But at the time the only thing I did regularly was smoke cigs and pot. The marijuana used to help with my anxiety and depression but not as much anymore So I started experimenting with using other drugs on a daily basis. First it was things like kava and kratom. Eventually I ended up hanging out with some opiate addicts because my weed dealer was out of town for a couple months. They were the only ones who could get me weed and I wanted someone to hang out with. So before long opiates became it. Then pot and pills everyday got boring and expensive so I started drinking a lot too. Drug use has a tendency to build on itself and escalate for those who don't watch out. At the time I didn't realize\care that I was playing with fire.

I'd be scared to take a vicodin now unless I was in intense pain and it was prescribed to me. Because I know where things can go. For me marijuana was very much a gateway drug. Even though I had no reservations about trying other drugs before I ever tried marijuana. On the bright side marijuana helped me cut back on harder drugs.

Click to expand...

What everybody doesn't realize is that ambition is a negative quality, not positive.

At least, it's negative IMO/IME.
 
I've been hitting the good ol bong for about a year now and wouldn't turn my back if I could but even then the most I ever did was a 2 week streak of getting high everyday before I went on holidays for a while. Otherwise I do it every couple weeks (2-3)
If I wanted to I could be high every day, even now if I wanted but I don't because I know that doing that has negative effects plus you don't get as high if you do it to often because your tolerance goes through the roof.

Bro... every now and then is shweet but everyday and I believe you've honestly gone too far
 
I can smoke a maximum of one big bong rip every 2 to 3 hours, if I want cannabis to have a positive or at least neutral effect on my energy levels. Any more than that, I quickly become lazy or anxious. There is a fine line to get it right, and weed can probably increase quality of life for most people if used correctly.

I can definitely use cannabis every day without having it fuck up my life whatsoever. I am extremely far gone from "reality" or the normal, deluded and brainwashed way that people experience life, and I am a lot more in touch with myself and my own feelings now, I think more naturally and I am also more introverted (which people mistake for a bad thing). But also it can completely waste all my time if I am not careful with the dose.

I do not understand how the hell people can drink any amount of that dirty alcohol, without becoming a completely useless wreck the next day. Now there is a drug that fucks up your life.
 
As a sufferer of chronic back pain, I consider marijuana a medicine. I have been smoking everyday for the last 2 years at least. I maintain a great job , own my own truck and house and have a great girlfriend with big tits haha . You always have clowns running around smoking dope, cant handle their shiit, and and end up doing stupid shit tho
 
I think I could be fine smoking every day (I know many people who smoke daily and still breeze through in all other aspects of their life) the only thing is my brain turns to pot and I forget everything. I can't hold any information in my head and I imagine that would lead to me messing up my life a bit. I know pot is meant to make your memory functions a but hazy but I think it's super extreme for me, I'll smoke it one day and I won't remember what's been happening in my life or basic things for the next week.
 
Marijuana is neither good nor bad. The intent a person has when using it can be described by one of those terms, but the plant itself? No, it's very much morally neutral.
