Reefer/Weed/Ganja/Potski
I'm a pot smoker. Not going to lie, i fucking love the shit. But i cant stand when people who don't smoke act like its worse than cigarettes. WHO CARES? because YOU are the people that need to chill out and smoke some reef. your "facts" are wrong anyway. Cigs have so many more chemicals than pot does. Weed is organic, comes from the earth, its mother nature at her finest. Cigs have man-made chemicals as ingredients. you're not just sucking down tobacco, you're inhaling some carbon monoxide too among other things. look it up.smoke weed everyday.

Oh yes everyone. I need to pick up a joint. I have many pot head friends. I have seen what pot does to people, which is why I choose not to do it. In fact one of them committed suicide while high. But I guess that the fact he was stoned when it happened had nothing to do with that right? I mean obviously getting stoned doesn't affect how a person makes their decisions.
By the way did you functional stoners know that when you're high your chances of contracting the HIV virus that leads to AIDS is increased, just like when you drink alcohol? This is b/c pot is a mind altering drug that lowers inhibitions.
I'm not promoting drinking. The difference between smoking pot and having a drink is that most people get high after one joint, many do not get drunk after a drink or two. Of course if you go out and get drunk you can’t drive.
I could give a flying fuck if you choose to smoke pot. What bothers me is you are promoting doing drugs. I would be just as pissed off if this post was about drinking and someone was telling everyone to go and get drunk everyday.
I do know the process for growing marijuana. My uncle is a habitual smoker with his own little crop. He is also going to die because when he was younger and high he had unprotected sex with a woman and contracted HIV, the doctors say he won't live to see his ten year old graduate from high school.
Don't act as if I'm preaching at you and that I know nothing about pot. I happen to know too much. What you and other stoners are doing is dangerous. I don't care if you choose to screw your life over (it will happen eventually) but do not promote pot smoking. It causes cancer and is not meant to be inhaled, no matter what anyone says.
I have a job, go to college full time, volunteer at an animal shelter, I contribute to society but I do it legally. Drugs are a form of escape. You can say you are happy with your life but if you need to smoke pot obviously there is something you are not happy with. Just like alcoholics are trying to escape something. If you were truly happy you wouldn't need to get high.

We are not intended to inhale smoke of any form, hence why we breathe oxygen, smoke lacks oxygen, it's common logic. OP do not say that pot is natural so it's not harmful, so is deadly nightshade but that doesn't mean you can smoke it or consume it. One joint is equal to a pack of cigs and most pot you get from dealers contains high of PCP, the stuff you grow is not without harm. "A recent study by the Canadian government found cannabis contained more toxic substances than tobacco smoke.[48] The study determined that marijuana smoke contained 20 times more ammonia, and five times more hydrogen cyanide and nitrous oxides than tobacco smoke."
Thanks for the advice to look it up, now that I know pot is so bad for you I will never light up.

#40, 44, 45 Thank YOU. You kept me from having to say it. And I must add I am a college graduate and a contributing member of society. I've never been to jail. I'm not even in credit card debt. And I smoke pot on a regular basis. And ya'll are stupid talking about shoving it up people's ass crack. That might happen with other drugs, but not weed. Do you know how much weed you need to be able to smuggle for it to even be worth it? Way more than you could shove up an ass crack that's for sure. It's been said before, but I'll say it again. Some people over eat, some people drink, some people use nicotine, some do crazy weird shit and some manage to be a little healthier about it, but we all cope. Weed is my coping mechanism. We all have one. Don't be sheep. Don't be sheep to the Government's wolf and just eat up the bullshit they're feeding you. Don't just fall in line because you're told to without truly finding out for yourself. I could quote a lot of websites saying that smoking isn't harmful to your health like cigarettes are. Furthermore, it's about documentation. So you can quote a study all day long, but find me a documented death resulting from pot use only. You can't. You also don't contract HIV from smoking pot. How ridiculous. It doesn't lower your inhibitions that much. Jeez, are you kidding me? That's like blaming alcohol for getting Aids. Control yourself people. If you can't, then it's true you do not need to be smoking or drinking, you should be seeking therapy. Don't blame Mary Jane for that kind of shit. Not fair. Not fair at all.

#46: (poster #40 here) I'm sorry to hear about the marijuana-related problems your friends and family have gone through.
However, it's not right to blame marijuana for such things as your uncle contracting HIV/AIDS, or your friend commiting suicide. Chances are the same behavior would have played out without the influence of marijuana.
If I were to get stoned, then drive around and kill someone in a car accident, it would be irresponsible of me to say "marijuana made me do it!". No. Marijuana does not make my decisions for me - I make my decisions and live with the consequences, good or bad. Your uncle made a bad decision. Your friend made a bad decision. Neither of them probably should have been consuming ANY intoxicating substance.
I am not advocating you should go out and start smoking pot. I don't think less of non-stoners just because they don't see eye to eye with me. I'm all for freedom of choice. If you choose to never experience it's effects for yourself, then so be it.
The only thing I protest is the way smoking pot is criminalized. I'm a law-abiding citizen and a productive member of society, so why should I live in fear of being arrested because I'd rather smoke a bowl instead of having a beer after work? It's about freedom of choice.
Think what you want of me for putting a harmful substance in my body - I don't care how you judge my morals. The fact is that I am a responsible stoner, and should not be criminalized for it.

Poster #17 & 48 here. I'd just like to reiterate my point earlier about how you can use a vaporizor or you can cook up a batch of brownies. What is the argument against doing that? It does no harm to your lungs. And so what if I want to fuck up my lungs? How does that effect you? The way I see it, my life could be over tomorrow so why waste time worrying about whether or not I might get cancer? And why would my having freedom of choice offend you or make you uncomfortable? It should not be a crime any more than smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol. I've smoked pot for the past 6 years (quit for 5 months in there actually) and I've never done anything high that I wouldn't have done had I not been high. I can't say the same for some of the times I've been too drunk. I don't have any regrets from smoking weed. I haven't had sexual relations that I blame weed for causing. I haven't made any major errors while high. If anything weed has helped me. I am a calmer person. I keep my friends and family close and I focus on the good things in all of them. I appreciate music and people just that much more. I can focus on the here and now and everything that is good about it just that much better. Even if I've shortened my life... even IF I get cancer and die at a younger age because I've smoked too much pot, I will still think that it is one of God's best creations. At least I thoroughly enjoyed every second of every moment while I was here. Here is something organic right in front of your face that was intended to help you cope and live in a peaceful community and you're afraid of it. And you chastise those around you and punish them for wanting to partake. I'll tell you what though, I'm pretty sure I wasn't put on this planet to follow rules. I'm pretty sure I wasn't put here to get in line and shut the hell up and take what's coming to me. I'm pretty sure I'm here to enjoy what little time I have (Heaven only knows how long it will be). I'm pretty sure I should be able to decide for myself what's the best way for me to make the most of my time here. I could be wrong, but I sure do hope I'm right. And in the end, smoking might be a bit of a selfish move (no more so than being fat, really), but I don't have any kids I need to worry about and my lust for life while I was here would have been infectious.

You don't say "pot made me do it". The truth of the matter is that everyone makes their own decisions, but when someone is under the influence they are less capable of making good decisions.
In my two examples both people chose what they did, but my uncle and my friend would not have been nearly as likely to make the decisions they did if they were not high.
I don't care if you smoke pot, get drunk, or do any other type of drug, you cannot be responsible while on it. After all if you were responsible while under the influence then the law wouldn't state that those who are under the influence of either drugs or alcohol are not able to consent.
Do whatever you want with your bodies I'm just tired of seeing people getting high or drunk and making stupid decisions that effect the lives of other people.

"After all if you were responsible while under the influence then the law wouldn't state that those who are under the influence of either drugs or alcohol are not able to consent." <--- Please, do not place trust in the law to clarify anything for you. Just because something is a law does not mean it makes sense. Do not place trust in the law to be there for any other reason that to make somebody else rich. Some of them do make sense, but a lot of them don't so you shouldn't really use the law as a point of reference. Money, it's always all about money. There is no "common good". To place trust in the law is to place trust in the hands of a politician and they're all corrupt, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get to the position they got to. And I'm just curious, have you ever BEEN high? Cause you said that you can't be responsible under the influence or make good decisions, yet I have for 6 years of my life been able to. And I can't imagine someone trying weed and then afterwards saying "woah, hey, that shit made me go craaazzzy!" It's not like that at all. Not at all. You still have your wits about you when you're high. I'm curious to know if there were other substances on top of marijuana that were consumed by those people you were referring to who had made some big mistakes. If not, I'd imagine they weren't the most stable people to begin with. Be honest with yourself when looking at the situation and don't just blame weed. It's a cop out to do that. It's a cop out because you don't want to look at the fact that your uncle and friend were just fucked up in the head all on their own.

(poster 40 and 49 here)
Like the person above me, I've been smoking heavily for years now. There has NEVER been a time where I was high and unable to give informed consent in any situation. I have NEVER woken up in the morning unable to remember what happened the night before. I don't make decisions while high and then regret them later (at least, not anymore often than it happens while sober, which is almost never). I don't get high and then shirk my responsibilties to my job, my friends, or my family.
I'm tired of people making bad decisons that affect others, too - only I don't care if they're high, drunk or sober. Drink if you want, but don't use it as an excuse to fuck up. Smoke if you want, but don't use it as a crutch. How can you claim that it's impossible to make informed decisions as a stoner, without actually being a stoner? So you have stoner friends who screw up a lot. Chances are that they'll be screw-ups whether they smoke pot or not. Individual personality types play a big role in this situation.
My life has only gotten better and better since I began smoking regularly. I'm much calmer, my emotions don't run wild, I no longer suffer chronic insomnia, nor panic attacks. Instead of being depressed with any of the little things wrong in my life, I focus on everything good in my life, and am grateful for it. I feel good about my life and myself. I am a much different person than I was 5 years ago, and it's been an overall improvement that I give a marijuana a lot of credit for.
Too often people look to place blame anywhere but on themselves. When I make a mistake, I own up to it and make it right. I want stoners to have a good name, and so I try to set a good example in myself.
I don't believe marijuana is right for everyone. If someone has schizophrenia lying dormant deep within their psyche, it's possible for marijuana to exacerbate the condition - the effects can be worse if someone already displays symptoms of schizophrenia then smokes pot. I even knew someone who refused to smoke pot, saying that doing so made him feel violent. I know others who won't smoke simply because they don't like the feeling of being high. I also know people who won't drink for the same reasons. Some people I know undergo a complete personality overhaul (a bad one) after having just. one. drink.
I would never dream of pushing marijuana on someone else, just as I wouldn't suggest to someone that they should drink away their sorrows, but I still believe I should have the right to drink and smoke responsibly if I want.

I wasn't even going to go this far, but yes I have been high. But guess what, it wasn't my choice. Someone laced my water with barbituates and I was sexually assualted. It's called date rape. I'm against all drugs, not just pot. My uncle is fucked up in the head, but I'm not even going to go into that. My friend on the other hand was going to college on a scholar ship. He got high at senior prom and drowned.
I don't care what you say about drugs and the law, but maybe when someone has taken your choices from you then you will be glad that the laws are there to protect us.

#55: So you were date-raped after being slipped a barbituate... this does not in any way make you an authority on being high.
First of all, different drugs give a different high - you lose control on barbituates in a way that would never happen with marijuana. Secondly, you were an unwilling/unknowing user. People who unknowingly ingest drugs often have much worse reactions to them than someone who takes them purposefully, because they don't understand why they suddenly feel different or how to deal with it.
You're against all drugs? So you don't drink coffee, or caffeinated soda, right? No guarana? You're against using painkillers for injuries? How about nitrous at the dentist's? These are all legal drugs. Oh, they're legal, so that's why they're ok, right?
Those nasty barbituates have legal, legitimate medical uses too, you know. But they're a drug... so they're bad... but they're legal... so they're good... but you had a bad experience... so they're bad... but they've helped others... so they're good. See how your argument is starting to sound?
So you see, not all drugs are created equal. It's not right to lump marijuana in with harder illegal drugs, because it's just not similiar enough.
I DON'T NEED THE LAW TO PROTECT ME FROM MARIJUANA! It doesn't break into my house in the middle of the night and force itself down my throat! It hasn't stolen from me. It doesn't whisper bad ideas in my ear.
No one can take advantage of me while I'm stoned simply because I don't let it happen! I retain full control of my faculties and decision-making capabilities - I control me.

number 49:
"but when someone is under the influence they are less capable of making good decisions. "
The however did make the decision to smoke/drink so much that they lose control of themselves in the first place. It's called responsibility.
This is the typical "blame the substance" argument. It fails the logic test. Sorry.

"I don't care what you say about drugs and the law, but maybe when someone has taken your choices from you then you will be glad that the laws are there to protect us." <------ Someone did take my choices from me as well. I was a virgin until I was raped. Weed helps me cope with that horrible thing that happened to me. The government also has taken my choices from me. They took away the choice I should have to choose to smoke pot on a regular basis without consequence because it makes me happy. I'm supposed to be granted life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mary Jane makes me happy and doesn't prevent the people around me from being happy as well, so it's kind of messed up that I could get in trouble for smokin a little reefer.

Wow! Most of you people are mindless sheep. Sleep you slaves. Sleep, watch T. V. Believe the government. Don't question authority. Purchase. Consume. Get married. Reproduce. GO TO CHURCH. Don't do drugs. Get your vaccinations ( which you will later find out have many cancer causing chemicals)
Go back to sleep sheep. Keep giving the government your rights in exchange for your "security". Big Brother is watching you.

I don't care what you say about drugs and the law, but maybe when someone has taken your choices from you then you will be glad that the laws are there to protect us.

#55: So you were date-raped after being slipped a barbituate... this does not in any way make you an authority on being high. First of all, different drugs give a different high - you lose control on barbituates in a way that would never happen with marijuana. Secondly, you were an unwilling/unknowing user. People who unknowingly ingest drugs often have much worse reactions to them than someone who takes them purposefully, because they don't understand why they suddenly feel different or how to deal with it.
You're against all drugs? So you don't drink coffee, or caffeinated soda, right? No guarana? You're against using painkillers for injuries? How about nitrous at the dentist's? These are all legal drugs. Oh, they're legal, so that's why they're ok, right?
Those nasty barbituates have legal, legitimate medical uses too, you know. But they're a drug... so they're bad... but they're legal... so they're good... but you had a bad experience... so they're bad... but they've helped others... so they're good. See how your argument is starting to sound?
So you see, not all drugs are created equal. It's not right to lump marijuana in with harder illegal drugs, because it's just not similiar enough.
I DON'T NEED THE LAW TO PROTECT ME FROM MARIJUANA! It doesn't break into my house in the middle of the night and force itself down my throat! It hasn't stolen from me. It doesn't whisper bad ideas in my ear.
No one can take advantage of me while I'm stoned simply because I don't let it happen! I retain full control of my faculties and decision-making capabilities - I control me.

number 49:"but when someone is under the influence they are less capable of making good decisions. "
The however did make the decision to smoke/drink so much that they lose control of themselves in the first place. It's called responsibility.
This is the typical "blame the substance" argument. It fails the logic test. Sorry.

"I don't care what you say about drugs and the law, but maybe when someone has taken your choices from you then you will be glad that the laws are there to protect us." <------ Someone did take my choices from me as well. I was a virgin until I was raped. Weed helps me cope with that horrible thing that happened to me. The government also has taken my choices from me. They took away the choice I should have to choose to smoke pot on a regular basis without consequence because it makes me happy. I'm supposed to be granted life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mary Jane makes me happy and doesn't prevent the people around me from being happy as well, so it's kind of messed up that I could get in trouble for smokin a little reefer.Posted 5 months ago | Report

Wow! Most of you people are mindless sheep. Sleep you slaves. Sleep, watch T. V. Believe the government. Don't question authority. Purchase. Consume. Get married. Reproduce. GO TO CHURCH. Don't do drugs. Get your vaccinations ( which you will later find out have many cancer causing chemicals) Go back to sleep sheep. Keep giving the government your rights in exchange for your "security". Big Brother is watching you.
