Boxing is good for you, but don't take too many blows to the head.

Cheeseburgers taste good, but don't eat them every day.

Sunshine is nice, but everyday means a drought.

Everything is good, but it needs to be in moderation. The more extreme the experience, the more it needs to be moderated. Pot is a pretty extreme good sensation, so it should be treated as such. Once or twice a year is fine, hell it'd probably be good for you. Take a weekend when you're not doing anything, smoke a joint and watch a couple of movies or paint or something. But don't go to work high, don't spend every day of* your life stoned.

Everyone's always on one of the two extremes.

The honest truth is that smoking pot is fun, it can be enjoyable with the right people. A joint is not going to give you lung cancer or make you sterile and you won't go out buy a hooker and shoot up your work place. You're going to sit around and laugh and eat every snackfood you have. But smoking daily, or even every week will have negative effects. Some of them very serious, in both the social and physical health areas.

Too much pot will make you mentally slow and make you sterile. And too much sunlight will make you wrinkly and give you skin cancer...moderation people.

exactly what i mean , alot of ppl sayin boo this and that

but a little is always good
like i said i smoke maybe once evry 3-4 months not daily same with drinkin same with evrything









and is it just me or is it kinda ironiq your a Moderator on this fourm and you say that
/lol

madd u cant argue alchol is worse it all depends on how much u smoke or drink and deep blue has the right attitude. if weed was fine wouldnt we all smoke it and have fun and it not be ilegal. the only good thing it helps people with parkinsons. and mitch are slightly wrong u usually smoke weed with tobbaco and its not proven weed has any side effects except making u lazy and making u do things lyk jumping off buildings which did happen

Yep im already there and im only 14 so i probably be a lot like you in the next few years. I wont do it that much though probably just once in a while at partys and other things like that. The only thing i really worry about with drugs is od'ing and now knowing that you cant od on pot thats a major plus.

Thats retarded... thats all I can say about that. If you know someone who's jumped off a building because they were stoned, then your friend is an idiot. Since im pretty sure you "heard about some dude but never actually met him" then now you're an idiot... Try it and then try to tell me something bad about it.

Besides THC is stored in your fatty organs for up to 3 months after used...so if your looking for a job and bloodtests come up you better be ready for the consequences.

I guess it gives you a high but I don't think it is really worth it...

You sound like someone whos never gotten really drunk and really stoned in the same night... Ill tell you today why you're full of shit. Its mostly because Ive seen quite a few people smoke a bunch of weed after drinking more than they should have, and proceeded to puke all over the back yard. Tell them THC makes you succumb to alocohol poisioning...

If you're under 17 dont even talk to me about weed, you've never tried it, and if you think you have, you havent lol. In a few years all you weed-hating republicans will feel like idiots for ever saying you would never smoke weed...

sorry, i just had to vent that out. I even skipped whole lot of really good points, but these were the ones that bothered me the most.

He&#39;s right... you obviously believe what you saw, but it&#39;s been scientifically proven that weed nulls your body&#39;s ability to remove alcohol from it&#39;s system, resulting in horrible alcohol poisoning.

ha i didnt mean that from that qoute at all

im sayin ppl that live like that there lives usally suck , mine dosnt

and im glad for it i have a good family a good brain, an ok job and a girl that loves me

i dont have much money but i dont much care bout money, im sayin life for them sucks.

i dont even truly belive humans should emphazize there emotions soo much,
expessially thro teen years and so forth, goths, and so forth.

just a grab for attention that we all grow out of. so i agree with u just suck it up and deal with it.

and i think that some ppl may have the wrong ideas about me

im not a pot head
i barley use drugs and drink. maybe have had a joint 4 times this year. and gotten drunk once at my uncles wedding this year.
and im not cryin that the world hates me


im very happy with my life and i DO skip taking alot of drugs. like not takin a pill to make a headache go away i deal with the pain, and i am a better person because of it.
when i had my operation and they offerd me Morphine i said i would rather be awake and feel the pain.


im not some dumb pot head kid that wears baggy jeans and hoddies

atcually i wear pin stripe suits out, just because i can.

you are free to live your life however you chosse. and once u start doin that u become a better, happier person

Look what words do to you people&#33;

If you like pot, like it, I love it.

If you don&#39;t, quit bashing on everyone that does, because you probably have some fetish or have dreamed or actually do something that that very person wouldn&#39;t like as well.

I think pot&#39;s great if you enjoy it, and it doesn&#39;t make you succum to all the other dumasses out there.
That&#39;s my same view on alcohal, gaming, the internet in general, and alot of other subjects. If you enjoy it, and it bothers someone else tell them to turn away or find a way to deal with it. I don&#39;t bash on gay people when I see them holding hands, and tell them that it goes against religious believes or something. In turn I don&#39;t expect them to bother me about how long my hair is, or how I dress.

I run several businesses, and every morning I get up and dress in a nice business suit and all that.

I guess all that was to comply with Adam&#39;s post, that things are good in moderation and when a person can contain themselves without commiting crimes and such.

show me your "scientific evidence" that weed "nulls your body&#39;s ability to remove alcohol from it&#39;s system" I dont doubt the possibility, but my scientific evidence shows me a different result lol.

Im a pothead, I love to smoke weed, soon you all will too lol

Hmm i know two people who have developed phsycological problems from prolonged intense use of weed. I also know of someone else who has been changed by prolonged use of weed.

Two are brother in laws, one has been officialy declared as schizophrenic, the other is borderline schizophrenic with cronic depression. In one case, there was a pre existing condition of depression, the other I&#39;m not aware of a preexisting condition.

The other person is my brother. The problem with my brother is that he has used other drugs, some are hard drugs, as well as a heavy drinker, so its not fair to place the blame for changes in his behavour or mental capacity at the door of weed.

However I do beleive that abusive use does make you prone to psycological issues, and the jury is still out on the impact regular non abusive use.

As will all drugs taken for pain though, its a matter of outwaying the cost of the side effects with the benifit of the drug.

But I do agree that a lot of people here just ramble on about something they may have heard on jerry springer or the like.

it shrinks your brain yeah. basicly, if you do it alot, your brain will shrivle up a little, so when you move you head, it hits the side of the skull harder then it would if it were a normal size. this causes brain cells to die, and causing the slow reaction time and the studdering of a "pot head".

actually red wine is most prob healthier. Substances in red wine (such as flavonoids or resveratrol) help reduce LDL cholesterol, and elevates HDL cholesterol. &#39;LDL&#39; is the bad one, HDL is the &#39;good&#39; one. Of course these substances are in grape juice as well.

Due to a 60 minutes report a while back, the idea of drinking red wine came to the public attention. As we all know, 60 minutes is a brilliant source for medical and life style advice, I mean, they&#39;re so driven by improving the world </sarcasm>

I should note that red wine (especially Pinot Nior) has a higher level than non processed grape juice. But then Tea has shown to have similar levels of white wine, and grape juice, which overall is healthier for you.

i have yet to see any studies of Dope containing substances which have a proven benefit to your health. Oh sure, it appears that for pain management in cases of arthritis and so forth it is good, but i&#39;m not aware of any serious studies into it.

Personally anything that affects the chemistry of your brain has to be considered very carefully. Especially when no one knows what the full impact is, either as a casual smoker or as a regular consumer.

Would anyone here accept drugs from a pharmaceutical company that said it will make you healthier but it does affect the chemistry of your brain? I reckon the answer would be no without serious study into it. The only reason dope gets past this is because people enjoy the &#39;high&#39; and then look for reasons to justify their use of it.

well the thing is, that happens all the time. there are perscription drugs that stop heart burn or something, but can make you depressed, give you headaches, make you consipated, heart problems etc... i really cant see the upside to taking that drug. can you?

if you take medication to mitigate a problem, then the issue is are the side effects worth the benefits. This is the trade off in medication, which is well documented and any half decent doctor will make you aware of when your prescribed a course of medication.

Viagra is a classic example. It increases blood presure, but lets you stand at attention (if the problem isn&#39;t physical or is of the nature that it can treat).

If you have no problems with increased blood presure then your fine, but if you have a heart condition, then your best to avoid it.

The problem with dope is that the effects are not known. People smoked it and then started looking for excuses to use it.

Btw, your wrong. A vast majority of drugs do not affect the chemistry of your brain. Affecting the chemistry of your brain is a very serious matter, but if you don&#39;t beleive me then I don&#39;t see the point in trying to convince you differently.

i never said anywhere that a vast majoraty of drugs did anything to the chemistry of the brain. i said that there are drugs that do as a side effect.

ahh mis-read your post mate, thought you were saying that side affects are common in drugs and thus the known side effects with smoking dope are okay. I think you ment to say that side effects are not okay...

Alcohol is healthier for you than pot. Although, you have to factor in the addictive aspect of it. I personally dislike the effects of alcohol have on me, so I only drink rarely. Its fun now and then, but not near as fun as a joint.

People get angry, aggressive, assholish when drinking. You never see people getting in random fights when high. Or dieing from overdoseing? I sure don&#39;t. Theres so many advantages pot have over alcohol I cant even start a list.

Which is why I dont get why alchohal is legal and pot isnt. I can walk home high, but when Im drunk.. that&#39;s like an Indiana Jones adventure.

I know what you&#39;re saying. I mean - the drunk walk home can always be fun, but the high walk home can be very enlightening.

marijuana is better than booze i even had a discussion with my mate last night about it, i won :lol: ... i always do -locks- :lol:

well you got me deadloader, obviously you must be right.

lol this is a on going argument that will never be won, my personal view is that marijuana is a lot safer than alcohol and causes a lot less problems in short term, but if u do start to develop a problem with cannabis its very hard to stop because its all you know. i dont know if people will understand what i mean but its coming from personal experience. i suppose its different for everybody, just be aware of the affects cannabis and alcohol can cause thats all i have to say on the subject.

yes metal skin so right i don&#39;t even need to explain :lol:

Well I think head-to-head Marijuana is the safer choice but I think it is the "gateway drug" as within the first week I hit my first joint I was trying valiums and it just got worse from there.

yup, agree 100% ketamine, it is very much a gateway drug. pushers actualy use it as a gateway drug and its how my brother got into the drug scene in such a massive way.

But then I do know others who use a bit of weed and never got into the rest of the drugs. Partly I think its the individual and why they do it, the circle of friends and what they&#39;re into, etc. My brother was a big party goer, while the others were more laid back and into Bob Marley.

none

fair &#39;nough, i sorta changed my tone half way through my post as I realised a fair few people i know only ever have done pot... i spose the scene your into has a lot to do with it, and what crowd you follow. if your a big crowd follower and your crowd changes drugs, chances are you will too.

I spose the only real gateway drugs are the free samples that dealers give out, knowing that most will get hooked... and thats not realy a gateway drug perse but more a hook.

.. but how about those people who do it not to join a crowd did you take into consideration their view on drugs.. i mean if i was to smoke marijuana ( without tobacco ) i&#39;d sure as hell wouldn&#39;t take anything higher i&#39;d only smoke marijuana as a bit of ease every now and again just to chill .... what i want to know though is if smoking straight marijuana is anywhere near as threatening as smoking cigars/ciggarettes ... i know it&#39;s the smoke that kills you in cigarettes but it&#39;s because of all the rat poisen or the other addictive ingrediants which they put in them ( there are thousands ) does it harm you the same as marijuana if you weren&#39;t to put tobacco in it? i know that some people live a healthy diet from tobacco trees so it must be all the other ingrediants which kill you right? :huh:

Im not some kind of police that follows all paragraphs and all of that and I dont care what all of u do but no&#33; I wont do drugs cuz I have a high ground to fall from and Im proud of that

There are more people who smoke marijuana, than people who voted for George Bush.

I smokes grass for 11 years of my life. It was awesome. Fuck, I even sold it. Not quantity, but I sold enough to smoke for free and have a little extra cash. I had enough to smoke all day long. I also drank like a fish. I still drink a little, but I used to get a bottle of Jack and my friends and I would get hammered and smoke grass. I&#39;ve never heard of anyone drinking and smoking who got alcohol poisoning cause they couldn&#39;t puke. That was bullshit whoever said that. Pot is great&#33;

Smoking pot isn&#39;t harmful to you, and it&#39;s not for depressed little punks, it&#39;s for people who want to expand their mind. If you&#39;ve never smoked pot, put on your favorite CD and smoke a bowl. It will change your life.

I quit smoking about a year ago, and I still feel the same way about pot as I did when I started when I was 13. I graduated high school 3 weeks into my senior year. I was smoking on the way to school. I always got good grades, and I could always function in class. I always have and always will believe that pot is harmless and should be legalized, and alcohol and cigarettes should be banned, and I smoke and drink. That&#39;s how much I believe in this subject. Drunk driver or a stoned driver? Think about it.

Hard drugs that make you sick when you don&#39;t have them are also horrible. These are the real problem. The people addicted to hard drugs steal to get them and they are violent and unstable. Pot smokers are relaxed and easy going.

I believe that pot is a harmless drug, and alcohol and cigarettes are killers. It&#39;s gotta be population control and money that keep these killers legal. If pot was legal, the government would save money by not spending taxpayer dollars to lock up innocent pot smokers. Also they could tax the shit out of it. I don&#39;t know how it is elsewhere, but in the USA the government has a little thing called "The War on Drugs". This is to catch the big dealers and stop drugs from entering the country. Drugs like Heroin and Cocaine. Meth is a huge problem here now too. Anyways, it has gotten so twisted now that we are locking up innocent people who get caught with a little weed on them. This is taking up the jail space, and sex offenders are getting out early to make room for these "potheads" who sit on their couch and don&#39;t bother anyone. Violent ofenders are the ones who should be filling the jails, not pot smokers. Would you rather have a violent person, or a pot smoker move in next to you? Unstable and angry, or easy going and probably a really good person? I&#39;ll take the pot smoker any day of the week. Weed is 100% cool with me man&#33;

So if you got it, smoke it.

...wow, this is by far my longest post EVER. :lol:

i know that&#39;s what really pisses me off, how alcohol is legal and has been for years and so is smoking even though both are proven to kill you.... now why is pot illegal maybe just because it&#39;s considered newer than smoking and drinking, i think it&#39;s retarded that something that even on overdose can&#39;t kill you isn&#39;t legal and most side effects can be avoided i think alcohol and cigarettes should be banned because i have had more family die from it then anyone who has smoked pot
