Smoking Marijuana is something that many people assume to be a safe and risk-free recreational activity. The drug, which has countless street names (such as Pot, Herb, Green, Ganja, Chronic, etc.), has gained a reputation for helping to facilitate good times and relaxation. However, many users aren’t even aware of how the drug affects the body or why they feel the “high” that they do when they smoke it.
At its most basic form, Marijuana is a shredded plant, and the typical form found on the streets is leaves, stems, and seeds that are all shredded up into flakes (think Oregano). This compound can then be put into a pipe (or bong), or rolled into a cigarette-like tube (joint). More potent varieties of Marijuana, such as Hashish and Hashish Oil, are found in similar forms (except for Hashish Oil) and are consumed in similar ways.
The active ingredient in Marijuana, THC, affects the brain on several levels. Though many users experience different reactions to Marijuana, it has a relatively universal effect on the brain. THC binds with cannabinoid receptors in the brain, causing reactions across the body depending on where in the brain these receptors are located. The distribution of these receptors is relatively uneven, explaining why some people experience a massive loss of function while others are less affected.
When you consume THC (typically by smoking Marijuana), the compound travels quickly through your body. It is absorbed into the bloodstream and is carried into the brain where, depending on the dispersion of the cannabinoid receptors, it will begin to have various effects. Once the user has ceased consuming THC or if the THC has reached its highest saturation point, maximum effects will be noticed by the user. This “high”, or feeling of euphoria, can typically last from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the quantity of THC consumed and the tolerance of the particular individual.
The typical results of THC consumption:
- Loss of coordination. Cannabinoid receptors located in parts of the brain associated with coordination and movement can drastically inhibit motor skills and coordination. This is why many users become quite clumsy and unable to efficiently conduct themselves when they are “high”. This type of result is usually moderately pronounced, though it tends to taper off as the individual begins to sober up.
Users typically report experiencing this type of effect during the peak of their “high”, when the THC is at maximum saturation within the brain, and that it is not as evident immediately after consumption or when the effects are slowly beginning to wear off.
- Audio or visual distortion. This is a result of cannabinoid receptors that are located in the parts of the brain associated with hearing or vision. These receptors set off a chemical reaction within the brain that can cause many different effects, from slurred speech to the inability to piece together a coherent sentence. It can also result in “looping” audio, where one particular sound (that is usually one syllable in duration) will repeat over and over again, as perceived by the user, until it is either replaced by a different sound or the effects of THC begin to wear off.
Users report that these symptoms begin to manifest within minutes of consuming THC, and can last throughout the entire duration of their “high”.
- Lack of time perception. Once again, this is the result of the cannabinoid receptors location in relation to the time perception areas of the brain. This can create feelings of longevity, or “time passing by slowly; this can also create the sense that time is passing quite quickly. Given the nature of the symptom, there is no way to quantitatively state when it begins to manifest.
- Feelings of euphoria, insecurity, joy, or paranoia. As THC triggers various reactions within the brain, different people will experience different results. These results are dependent on the environment and surroundings that they are in when they consume THC, the people that are around them, as well as their state of mind or mood before consumption.
Intense feelings of happiness and joy are quite common, with uncontrollable bursts of laughter being quite common. Feelings of paranoia and worry are also quite common, though they are not as intense as the feelings created by other, more dramatic drugs.
The reality is that the effects of Marijuana are not identical within each individual, and though we certainly don’t encourage experimentation or consumption, it is impossible for us to state with any level of certainty the effects of Marijuana on each unique individual.

this was very intresting because now that i’ve read this i will be quitting smoking weed after today because i’ve a blunt at home waiting for me when i get there so after i ruin my brain today for a couple of hours thanks to you i will be quitting, that blunt is not going to waste…sorry.
i live on newell….
in waterloo iowa
lmao thats close to where i live (dubuque iowa)
but anyways a lot of this is true except for the street Marijuana is mainly the bud produced by the plants, not the leaves or the stems. i’ve seen people grow Marijuana where the THC went to the leaves instead of the bud but thats vary uncommon
this also explains why when i’m stone i have the repeating of sound effect and my vision gets f***ed up a lot. and Marijuana actually does more good than harm to some people
Thc is secreted by every part of the plant, you can smoke every part of the plant, it’s just the concentration is only high enough in the budds to get stoned.
I have never seen anyone with the name Artemis except for Artemis Gordon
on the old show Wild Wild Wild West with Robert Conrad and West and Ross Martin as Artemis Very Cool there Artemis
Please do not represent users of Marijuana anymore. Ignorant individuals who are too lazy or incompetent to write in complete sentences give society a misconception about the people who use it. Zach I’m sure your not a retard, so please put in a little more effort next time. We’re trying to legalize it not try to show the world how stupid it makes some people (if we wanted that, we’d use alcohol).
Nick, before you begin to criticize the grammatical skills of others, perhaps you should assess your own skills. In your little paragraph above, you did not put a common after Zach’s name, used “your” instead of “you’re”, and should have written your last sentence as follows, “We’re trying to legalize it; we are not trying to show the world how it makes some people stupid.”
I am uncertain about your last comment in parenthesis. I can only assume that you meant to say that if you wanted to become stupid and therefore give someone the grounds to accuse you of such that you would use alcohol, but in the form that you did in fact use that note, it actually indicates that if you would use alcohol as a tool to show the world how stupid marijuana makes people, if you wanted to in fact show the world that. But perhaps your own grammar accomplished that goal for you after all.
Stay in school kids.
Alright, enough with these grammar shenanigans. Julie, your self-righteousness has cost you at least 5 valuable minutes, during which time you could have been fulfilling your subtly-implied M.O. of convincing every new acquaintance that you are of above-average intelligence in a face-to-face encounter. The grammatical mark you were referring to above is called a, “comma,” not a, “common.” I am debating whether or not to begin laying waste to the total lack of voice in your second to last sentence, but instead, it behooves me to address your closing jab, which I think should have gone a little more like this:
“Stay in school, kids. A private one, or a public school in a wealthy municipality. Otherwise, you’ll end up turning out like me, a graduate from Bumblef*** High, who (not “whom,” although I have a feeling self-aggrandizing ego-maniacs of limited intelligence such as yourself would be tempted to use it in this instance), instead of taking a couple of Advanced Placement English courses in High School, or paying attention in English 101 at my university (the universal, last-ditch effort to teach our generation how to write with mediocre proficiency), thought that I could preach to other people with my trusty, 580 SAT Verbal score and innate feeling of superiority.
Future generations of Americans are fated to receive increasingly sub-standard education in the English Language. As a twenty-one year old, and pot smoker of three and a half years, I have resigned myself to this fact, and wouldn’t dare to pick on others’ internet shorthand.
If you happen to be the young, middle-of-the-road, middle-management career type that I imagine you to be, I truly hope that, while you are eating your heart out over this post, you go for a big fat doobie, instead of drowning your sorrows in the bottle. That may be the only way to prevent the tears from streaming down your face when you lie on your bed, staring at the ceiling this evening.
Great points, Julie! However, no one’s perfect. You were doing great until your (not you’re) second paragraph. For example, you have a run-on sentence above that qualifies for a marathon! I won’t bother to post a correction. That’s not even the point I wanted to make. Marijuana is a controlled substance. Alcohol once had the same status. Whether controlled or not, when abused, it can do harm to various areas of the body. Marijuana has 20 times the tar of a cigarette and cigarettes have filters. I’m sure many pot smokers have hacked up those nice brown “morning goobers.” I was a light smoker before I quit. I always used a bong with water and crushed ice to remove some tar and cool the smoke. Whatever intoxicant one chooses, he or she can overindulge to the point of getting sick. It’s all poison!
Grammatical errors don’t necessarily mean stupidity they just mean lack of effort or to be so overwhelmed with emotion to get thoughts expressed on a page for all to see that you miss typos and just hit reply. Rather than critique grammar; critique content. Marijuana is not for everyone and affects different people in diverse ways. One can’t speak for another; yet some try to speak for all! For me it helps pain, headaches, nausea, social anxiety, and sometimes appetite. I do get heavy headed and lose all sense of time sometimes, but it comes with the territory of how it affects my brain. Sometimes you must deal with the consequences in order to relinquish the benefit. I would rather smoke herb than take meds any day of the week!!
This is, invariably, the largest waste of time I will experience today. However, I would like to point out that, just because you can type like a diplomatic lawyer-type while throwing in your distasteful, emotion-attacking punch-line to amuse your own intelligence (What does that tell you?) or put down others, is hands down the perfect way to describe the air of general society. (I’m referring to how “acquaintances” act versus “friends”, although I realize I’m leaving a ton of room for interpretation, so bear with me, furry friends.) I try my hardest not to live in a world of unnecessary hate and ridicule and it works for me, so much that I wish I could make all of you sit down, at this very moment, and begin that self-help book you’ve been eying for weeks. Teaching your brain to analyze, comprehend, and interpret information in a logical and critical way is essential for psychological survival and for the fluidity of social actions (Which is not only a part of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs’ lower structure, supporting, not the least of all, self-actualization, but also to be a vessel of learning and improvement.) I encourage you all to catch your righteousness on your tongues and be more scientific. Without being neutral, however much it hurts, how much are you gaining?
I am really amazed to admit this, being the kind of writer who doesn’t express much emotion publicly and all, but the main driving force that started me on this journey of needing to learn rather than feel was a quote from my dad, (being the “wise old man of 40 years of therapy” and all.) “We cannot change the people, places or things around us, but our reactions, only.” An amazing start, indeed. After practicing this over and over, the amount of control I had over myself and the situations I encountered was remarkable. Wrapping this up, I basically win all of my conversations now because everyone else wins, although I’m the first one to seek justice when I am perpetrated against, which has been my position in the past; I’m glad to report nobody was severely injured. Which is funny to consider, that my main issue growing up was the control factor. Now that I am twenty and have devoted my time to learning and digesting and referring back to the books written by those with knowledge of the areas I lack, I feel that, although the road is bumpy and sometimes leads on tangents less than distasteful, I can see the control issues of others and help promote a healthy outlook that may save or promote the saving of your emotional life. Don’t ever stop reading.
EDIT: I would like to point out that typing like a diplomatic lawyer-type while throwing in your distasteful, emotion-attacking punch-line to amuse your own intelligence (What does that tell you?) or put down others, is hands down the perfect way to describe the air of general society (Interpret as you will).
Julia, I’m sure that with the parenthesis statement, he was saying that if we wanted to show the world how stupid weed makes people, we would be better off showing how stupid alcohol makes people.
Uhh… You spelled “comma” wrong. Sorry, you seem to be grammatically inept yourself. Get off the drugs.
Julie,
You are the perfect example of an incompetent, ignorant woman, whom i am positive is reading this article to convince your children not to smoke marijuana. I used the word ignorant above to let you fully understand that you have an extreme lack of knowledge on this subject. Julie, you should go and comment on a post about grammer because you seem to excel in that respect, however, please refrain from posting in forums about drugs and drug use. You simply are not versed enough to contribute. I am a college graduate with a finance degree, professional golfer, and consider myself to be intelligent. I smoke weed on a daily basis and yet, I still make money doing what I love. (And please help me with my grammer mistakes. Maybe that will help me get another top ten this weekend)
Julie, I love u.
Nice one Julie
I just thought I’d be a botz and chuck my 10 cents in; even though I’m writing this comment at a local library on a School day, Hehe…
I smoke bud though and find that everything witten on this page is particularily true. (words to the wise) If you dont already smoke bud, have a little go but be careful, you CAN change the state of mind that you’re in without even knowing it. P.S: How’s my gramar?
Nick, one you have like 15 run on sentences. Haha, I smoke weed and I can type better than you. And Marijuanna is being legalized in stated across America. And Alcohol can be more harmful to you than Marijuanna. So boy, learn your facts before you talk.Kay?
HELL YES alcohol does more damage to your body. Marijuana does do damage to your lungs, puts a strain on your cardiovascular system, and impairs certain functions of the brain, but alcohol does all this and a HELL of a lot more. Also, the withdrawal of alcohol alone can do more damage to your heart than smoking marijuana. With that being said, Marijuana IS a drug (well THC is actually lol), and it is addictive IF you use it multiple times a day for a month or more.
I got derealization from smoking pot…
First of all, Cass, you are an idiot. Obviously, you cannot use the keyboard. You put a space after every punctuation mark. Secondly, The word “kay” is not a word, nor is it grammatically correct. Thirdly, you started two sentences with the word “and,” you may NOT start a sentence with a conjunction. Fourthly, the attempted sentence, “Haha, I smoke weed and I can type better than you.” is a run-on sentence. There is simply a conjunction, you need a comma and conjunction, smarty pants. Lastly, the word “run on” is a compound word, meaning you need either a space, hyphen (-), or no space at all in between the two words. So, no, you do not type better than Nick.
Yeah I agree with nick. Alcohol does permanent damage to the brain and weed doesn’t. I am in my last year of college and am getting a masters and phd. I have a job and a house and I am responsible. Ive never driven under the influence of anything and I don’t intend to. Ive Smoked weed frequently since the Age of 14 and i turned out fine. Point being marijuana will only make u stupid and lazy if that’s what you already are! People need to stop making people that go have a joint at the end of a long day and are not hurting anyone feel like criminals. I think the pregnant whore with the cigarette and the lazy fat guy on welfare should feel like criminals, not us!
Do your homework. The statement that marijuana does no permanent damage to your brain is, to put it bluntly, extremely naive. Where is your research for this ? where did you source your information from?.
You people don’t seem to understand the difference between fact and opinion – Just because you believe it to be right and could not understand why it could be wrong does not in fact make it a correct statement.
Coming from someone who has regularly consumed marijuana for an extensive period of time (Around 5 years) after giving the stuff up i come to one definitely conclusion… regular pot smoking does in fact make you moody prick.
Feel free to disagree but that is my opinion (not self proclaimed fact), at least I can see it for what it is, the question is can you accept that just maybe your thoughts on marijuana being a completely safe recreational drug could in fact be wrong?.
You need to learn to spell or to use ( you’re or you are) when not using a possessive. What you was saying is “your not a retard” when it should be you’re or you are. So who is the retard? Both of you if you touch pot, and if the pot is not the problem, then lack of studying may be, but of course that would take you away from ruining your brain with the dope.
popular blog. coincidentally, I grew up in dubuque, but I live in Minneapolis now. I stumbled across this blog because my (ex) girlfriend was hospitalized, and the doctor told her it was because she smoked too much pot.
Apparently, this doctor had been on the front lines of new studies that are not yet published that seem to be revealing what the real effects of LONG TERM pot abuse CAN cause, but NOT ALWAYS…. who knows if the study is B.S. or not….
but all I can tell you, is that my GF was in the hospital for 4 days, and she smoked and still smokes more pot than anyone I’ve ever known ever. It is practically all she does, she was unemployed (still is) and wakes up at 5PM and smokes literally every 15 minutes until 7AM and has been doing that for about 8 years.
Apparently, the doctor said that prolonged use can lead to permanent changes in the receptors in the brain… and the symptoms are
psychosomatic vomiting (she was vomiting every 15 seconds for 4 days)
compulsive bathing (took 20 showers in one day at the hospital and ran my jacuzzi nonstop at home)
panic attacks/moodiness (she was a huge bitch and I threw her our two days after she was better)
I’m sure there are more symptoms…
Whatevs… was wondering if anyone else had heard of this.
The thing I find most interesting about this article is that it actually says nothing negative about the effects of marijuana, yet people like you decide it’s automatically a negative article because it’s about how it affects your body. Yes, you become a little impaired while using it, but so does alcohol, and it effects you much more dangerously. are you seriously this brainwashed and controlled by society’s lies and propaganda that once you see a medical article on pot, you project your own presumptions on it even despite its content? The article is completely neutral, it doesn’t sanction smoking it or go against smoking it, the article tells you that THC affects people differently. Are you that blind and impressionable that you can’t even see the obvious?
yea, thats what im allways trying to explain to my friends, but they dont listen!
Honey, I don’t know what medical school you went to but there is much more recent, updated and relevent information than anything written here. I’m sure it’s because that probaby 99% of those commenting here are pot users!! There is current medical research from the US and Canada stating that long term use of marijuana does, indeed, tend to cause precancerous cells in the lungs, plus a multitude of other things – espcially immune system problems. Those who smoke both marijuana and cigarettes vastly increase their risk for developing COPD, other breathing problems and lung cancer. My sister smoked both pot and cigarettes for nearly 40 years – she’s now, at only 55 yrs old, being treated for Stage 4 throat cancer with lymph node involvement on both sides – 5 nodes on the right and 1 on the left; sadly, her chances aren’t good but we’re praying she will survive this. Anyone who’s never witnessed a loved one going through something like this should stop and take stock of what’s more important – a little “enjoyment” for the moment or the possibility of facing something like this in a few years. The doctor told her it was definitely caused by smoking BOTH. This comes from an ENT at Mayo Clinic in Florida. – one of the best in his field. So, don’t believe that pot is not addictive or dangerous – it’s every bit as PHYSICALLY addictive to your brain as cigarettes. (or what’s going to be left of your brain in the next 20-30 years). If you like, I’ll send you some photos of my sister held down by a face mask receiving radiation that will likely damage her vocal cords, taste buds, (perhap permanently), hearing, etc. Or perhaps you’d rather see her throwing up; crawling on the floor because she’s too weak to walk, or the feeding tube she uses because her throat is so burned and raw. Shall I go on?? For those of you who have your minds made up – this won’t mean a thing. Hopefully, however, some of you will listen and stop this before you’re laying strapped to a bed with a mask over your face having a panic attack from the stress. Please, just think about it. I’ve watched it all and sat , stunned, when the doctor gave us the diagnosis and the causes. I’m NOT an alarmist – just putting the truth out there instead of more of the same misinformation spewed forth by pot users who will never admit the truth – to you or to themselves. Please stop smoking both marijuana and cigarettes while you’re young and the damage can still be reversed. I wish you all the best.
Did you know that many studies have shown and proving that simply being fatigued is far more detrimental to your IMMEDIATE health (ie impairment while driving) than even alcohol. Just because you read a document that lists off effects that a drug has on your system does not mean it implies any negativity associated with those effects.
if the majority of americans think that weed should be legal then it should be legal isnt this the land of the free and isnt this government for the people by the people to the people
weed should be legal and i will fight for legal really its homesome wht will happn if we smoke weed
i love how people read about what weed does to you while your high and assumes it continues as a long term effect even after the high is over
actually you are all wrong, for we do not even exist and reality is actually a dream, and our dreams are our reality.
THATS TRUE BUT ARE THERE ANY EFFECTS ON AN INDIVIDUALS HEALTH.
This is good advice especially for the people who do it because as it said in the story they dont know how it will affect the body. Some people dont know how it hurts especially when your parents find out. They dont want you doing it because they know what it has done to people who smoke it and they dont want you to have to go through this either. So my advice is to stay in school and dont do drugs or drink.
I would like to say my dad is a very successful business man and a stoner. He is not concerned I smoke pot because of the way I carry myself. We does not effect you when you come down. Therefore, you are wrong. Parents are concerned because their kids have no work ethic or drive. That is not effected by pot, but how you were raised and your personal drive.
I’d like to say that i have smoked pot many times, and am very aware of what it does to my body and i am aware of the (few) dangers there are. I also have good drive, am successful and am in no way what a stereotypical stoner is perceived to be. When you say “What it has done to other people,” i feel that you’re referring more to people who smoke weed because of problems rather than people who have problems because they smoke weed.
youre stupidity baffles me my friend i’ve smoked pot for over 3 years daily and let me assure you that it makes you go insane after a while + cigs only psychologically addictive??? lol keep ignorant and telling yourself it creates (few problems) id like to tell you i hope you get as bad in your skin as i was just to show you how stupid you are but i wouldnt wish that uppon anyone (and before you tell yourself oh oh look at all the grammar mistakes im gonna bash on his ass) don’t even bother i speak french dutch and english just having some trouble writing
this is the biggest load of shit. first of all, everyone who uses weed recreationally is pretty much aware of what it does to them. secondly, thc has no adverse health effects, and its psychological effects are no worse than that of being drunk. it is not physically addictive (it is psychologically addictive, like nicotine) and the only adverse health effect is through the smoke. there are ways to ingest the cannibinoids aside from smoking marijuana that are more healthy, such as baking or vaporization. legalization of this drug would not only produce income for the government through taxation but would also eliminate tax money that goes towards sending marijuana offenders to jail, arresting them or trying to seek them out.
oh, and we WOULD know more about this drug if it was rescheduled. in fact some studies (like whatever study inspired this) show heightened tolerance to breast cancer, help with stomach problems, as well as the reduction in size of some tumors. i wish people would realize that this drug is so much less devastating than the effects of alcohol and alcoholism, and that someone would speak the truth about this among all this crap.
Nictoine is physically addictive dumbass
no its not!!! you only have withdrawal symtems for 3 days after the nicotine is taken away, after that it is all in your head!
“3 days” exactly the point
Weed is a natural plant, grown from soil. It isnt as bad as any other drug that was made in a lab. Its NATURAL. so im on ur boat, they should legalise weed! Yeeeeeeeeaaah
well it’s thanks to people like you who can’t spell legalize, that they don’t lol.
Are you trolling, Joey? If not… That’s the
correct spelling in most countries. Bless your
cotton socks.
Coke also starts out ad a natural plant, so that’s cool too?
nunya, you are so right
I think you have wrote very good facts… I get very upset at my fiance because he smokes weed and its ruining our relationship because I dont smoke for some reason I think its the worst drug ask me why but it really bothers me… I tried smoking for a week and some days I felt good and relaxed and happy but one day I got really stoned and started freaking out I was scared so i havent tried it again after that…. I’m just trying to find alot of information on it so maybe I could stop fighting with my fiance because it seems like alot of people smoke because it relaxes them or helps them with pain or anxiety… tell me if im wrong im not a smoker so I dont know… thank you for reading this
Paranoia is a normal side effect of weed. It happens to a lot of people. Some way more than others though! Pot isn’t for everyome though! Also, some advice -because you said one day you felt good then the next you were freaking out – just try smoking every now and then! Not all in one week! And start with a blunt or two bowls of low grade reggie and just work your way up to better stuff! Hope this helps, especially with you and your fiancé!
I definitely plan to do just that!! I’ve ALWAYS been a extememly good at arguing my point. Also, when I want something, I get it. I know that sounds spoiled and shallow, but it’s not like I hurt everyone getting what I want. I don’t hurt anyone and I’m happy! So back to what I was saying, I do plan on becoming a big shot something or another, – that way I’ll have some fans and some pull in society – get the idea out there, and thm fight for what should be! I know it’s a long shot, and I know there’s probably a lot of grammatical problems with this, but just ignore all that, please? I’m a teenager, a high schooler, and I have good grades and smoke pot! So don’t judge! This is all my opinion and I really don’t care if any of you don’t like it
thank you nunya for that comment. now the last ten minutes of my life didn’t get wasted. i have asthma and since i started smoking weed i haven’t had an attack. that’s 13 years without an attack so it affects everyone differently. besides that the problems i had before i started smoking i still have now i just deal with them differently. i used to get into fights and i had a really bad temper but since i started smoking weed i’m alot more calm. i know there are bad things that come with smoking weed but not as bad as drinking or cigarrettes but yet those things are legal. i honestly feel like the world would be a better place if more people smoked weed once in a while. so thanks again for telling it like it is.
f*** whoever left the last comment ill smoke a blunt and then go to school high like a kite
are you rob mack?
GO AHEAD AN SMOKE THAT BLUNT AND STAY YOUR ASS HOME CAUSE EVEN THOUGH YOU LOST YOUR GIVE A DAMN ABOUT IT OTHER CHILDREN IN SCHOOL CARE ABOUT THERE FUTURE SO KEEP SMOKING IT AN WHEN THAT REALITY CHECK FINALLY HITS YOU AN YOU REALIZE HOW PITIFUL YOU ARE IN THE FUTURE JUST REMEMBER “I TOLD YOU SO” im not against smoking weed cause i smoke too but any civilized human being would know when an where to smoke!!!! its something called respect!!!! and people wonder why it hasnt been legalized yet HMMMMMMM I WONDER!!!!!!
While all this is good and true I am all for smoking marijuana. I have never smoked a single joint blunt or cig in my life and I don’t intend to start but there are also no conclusive scientific studies showing that smoking marijuana is harmful to humans. I did read that when a marijuana tar was applied to animal skin tumors formed but animal skin is not a human lung. Also there is no evidence that it is addictive nor is it fatal. No one has ever died from marijuana. So to the person who asked if it is harmful. No the worst thing you will get is a bad cough when you smoke. But getting high outweighs that.
Actually the information you provided about tumors is incorrect, josh. The latest studies show that in fact topical tumors such as those caused by skin cancer can actually be CURED by application of high-concentration hemp oil. To add to that, internal tumors can be shrunk and in fact completely eliminated by a high-dose treatment of marijuana. There is a 2000 paper showing a glioma (brain tumor) being completely eliminated by use of marijuana alone- we have known this for 10 stinking years.
Why is this not common knowledge then, do you ask? One simply has to asses the billions of dollars that pharmaceutical companies would lose on chemotherapy agents… propaganda is a scary thing my friends.
it is true that weed does not kill but dont get me wrong its not good for you either. and dont listen to the people who say stay in school dont do drugs and dont drink yes stay in school but eventually you will try alcohol and drugs its part of life everyone goes through it just dont get attached to drugs or alcohol thats when a problem occurs.
Doing drugs is not a part of life… Maybe it is to people who don’t trust themselves enough to think for themselves, but I’ve never tried drugs or alcohol or anything, and I don’t plan on it.
My babys daddy smokes weed and he doesnt want to ever stop. He says he does but when he does stop he starts back up. He runs from life and smokes to make it better. We were engaged and when he started back up on smoking he changed and we couldnt ever get along. I dont smoke and i think smoking is for stupid people who dont know how to make choices and live in life. He ruined our relashinship and ended us for good from smoking weed. He isnt a part of my babys life becuase smoking is to important to him and he doesnt see it. He calls himself a dad when he really isnt. Smoking weed can change a person and ruin lives. It makes you think stupid.
well nicole if you have NEVER TRIED ANY DRUGS AN DONT PLAN ON IT then why in the hell are you looking up the effects it has on people?????? and dont use the excuse you are doing it for school because if you were THEY WILL TEACH YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW THERE trust me i have spent 4 years in college taking drugs an narcotics expert informent and not once have they used the internet for a resource
Haha, dude. You’re wrong about that one. I’m currently on this website for a school project. Just because you didn’t do any projects on drugs doesn’t mean no one else is. :]
Congrats mother teresa! Don’t criticize something you’ve never tried! I’m all for people never smoking or drinking. More power to you! I respect the opinions of others. But don’t say we can’t think for ourselves. I like smoking weed and have never had anything bad happen because of it. Anything can become addictive including bitching people out on the Internet over something you know nothing about. Don’t ever try it if you are against it but others may decide to and that doesn’t make them stupid. It just means they are more open to trying things before they publicly bash them
Look yeah, i have smoked a spliff everyday for the past 3 years and it hasn’t affected my ability in gaining 3 A’s and 1 B in my A levels. So i think i can think for myself.
well sami you have to consider that when these PEOPLE you are talkin about eventually TRY any kind of drug an they like the feeling of it i guess they are gonna keep TRYING IT over an over again lol
i have experienced all of these feelings ..im not one of the greatest kids in the world but i smoked once and felt these weird feelings in my head. all over i was stuck, i literally couldnt move any part of my body!
dont smoke weed its really not a good feeling to accomidate.
shut up you just couldnt handle it so its not for you but me and everyone else are perfeclty fine
yea sounds like matilda needs to find another hobby lol
I don’t think you smoked weed lol
The first 1-4 times i ever smoked marijuana i had intense visual and body highs that were frighting, but i think it was because i was more worried than excited to smoke, but after that i started having amazing highs that felt good and made me happy. if i were you i would give it one more shot( especialy if that experience was more than a year ago) but if you dont like it some people just dont.
to matilda: k thats only happened cuz the weed you smoked had alot of crystlas wich couses bodie buzzes where the not moving body things happened, and i have had bad experienced to but becuz one had oil n it and the other i dont know what was in it cuz i recentley found out the person i got it from mixes it with other drugs so u really dont know if its just weed yer smoking unless u can tell the difference by side effects
ya because it was ur first time smoking. after u smoke weed a few more times it gets better, i smoke everyday and im 14, ive been smoking for almost 2 years now
HAHAHAH this happen to me too the first time but i fought it and some how i stood up and i was like sooo heavy… i smoked some “super skunk” for my first time.. a damn blunt too, shared with 3 ppl
was a bit over load for my first time (i was sooo thirsty but i didn’t know that ROFL i couldn’t feel my tongue or throat xD then after i ate i felt awesome) but i smoked again later that same day and had a blast.
Say goodbye to your nice life. Pot makes you lazy, fat, stupid, and unambitious. I never heard of pot making anybody successful. Say good-bye to school,college, and a good job. Say good-by to your parent’s and other’s respect. You are bragging about your pot smoking, when you should be ashamed. Your just a little kid that is trying to make himself look good to stoners, and pretend he is a grown up. Very sad. Say hello to Juvie, and good bye to self-respect.
“Say goodbye to your nice life. Pot makes you lazy, fat, stupid, and unambitious. I never heard of pot making anybody successful.”
okay, first off..
pot does not make you anything. it cant make you lazy, fat, stupid, or unambitious. you do that to yourself.
you know what’s funny? i’ve never heard of pot making anybody successful either. do you want to know why? it’s a plant.
I can think of a few very successful musicians, songwriters, and singers who will tell you weed helped them to be successful :p haha. Fail, it’s just a plant, calm down and stop looking up and/or commenting on pages you would have no interest in finding based on your above statements.
well weed actually motivated me to get my homework done, i am a zombie without it.
Um, there are actually plenty of smart, creative, successful people who smoke weed. Just saying.
Also nothing makes anybody anything. It’s people’s choice to be fat, lazy, stupid, and unambitious whether you smoke weed or not.
Okay, I’m not a smoker, and I don’t condone smoking, but SERIOUSLY? I know some smokers who are some of the smartest people in the world! They’re not at all the stereotypical pot-smoker that you described. They have AMBITIONS. They are intelligent. They just choose to smoke pot! PLUS, a lot of famous musicians did pot and actually got their creative ideas from it! Yeah, it might harm your lungs if you smoke it, and it might kill brain cells, but it doesn’t make EVERYONE who does it a lazy, obese low-life.
aunt debbie i did not know you got on sites like this lol but you should explain that to jimbo instead of trying to make a point to people across THE INTERNET you are wasting your time and call me later on its kinda important
omg Debbie this is the funniest one yet!!! I went through high school and college and i smoked on weekends the whole time. My parents have always known i prefer weed over alcohol and they are VERY proud of me. And no, they are not bad parents at all so dont even go there. I am successful, I respect myself, I am responsible, and I smoke weed a few times a week. I’m very active, underweight, ambitious, and intelligent. So there goes your whole theory!
exactly, I’ve said goodbye to so many things including family members sadly. i went in juvie an my step dad died while i was in, saddest thing is i don’t have one good SOBER memory with him besides when i was way little, which i can hardly remember. my mom, him, and my bros are the best things in life i got now that im sober for once and i realize. my real dad was a real fuck up like i was starting to be for years, he “pretended” like pot was all he was gona do, instead he then moved on to bigger drugs to get more hallucinations an better trips, it was marijuana, then shrooms, then acid, then on to the worse ones, like crack, cocaine, heroine, meth, speed, stupid stuff like that. now hes in prison been there for my whole life, i honestly could give a fuck less about him for what he did to my family, but i realized i was goin down the same road as him, minus the crack cocaine heroine meth an speed an shit.
why waste your timne doing the most stupidest things
do something useful like help people with problems insted of people having to help you
try something new for a change do something good for yourself mot something that short’ns your life….not trying to be a bratz in all just saying
If you like it, you like it. You don’t, you don’t. These are all opinions but lucky for us they’re like a**holes, everyone’s got one. Go smoke some pot… or don’t, end of story
Hey it’s different for each person
What hapens mentaly 2 frequant users of merijuana
WEED IS THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE.
mannn u gonna kill ur selffff
Its probably the only thing in your life.
If you are so against smoking weed, then maybe you should mind your own business and stop harassing people on here that DO enjoy a harmless good time. I bet you’ve never even tried it before. Maybe you should practice before you preach. Also, I am a Biology major in a University with a Pre-Medical concentration, and I smoke and am doing just perfect.
Hahaha, the f**k??? Drink, do drugs all you want yo!!
i will thank you
haha its not so bad….
no, i dont believe pot really does anything bad to you health wise or even mentaly (except things become a little fuzzy sometimes), it just typicaly leads to stronger drugs. so if you think you can control your self and stick to weed, pack a bowl and light up!! B)
peace, love, and pot!
and paranoia and anxiety…
i will hit a blunt every now and then but as far as smoking everyday 24/7, i do not like the way it makes me feel afterward…i cant stand it…it changes my voice and all…but dont get me wrong i will hit it every once in a while…..
pahahahh thisis reallly funney tho?
well this has alot of info nd im glad 2 see it tells the truth nd doesnt try 2 scare ppl away from pot oh nd here for one reason [2 use]
Well i learned a lot from this crap but i smoke practically everyday & I’ve been smoke for a long time & i just don’t see anything wrong with it & plus i did extreme research before i started to smoke but i didn’t find anything that would keep me from doing it i enjoy the feeling & don’t really plan to stop since its not harming my school work my job my realationship or anything else in my life so i don’t see why its so bad i still don’t understand why its ilegal i thinkits stupid that its ilegal because company’s can make so much money off of it since SO MANY people do it anyway
P.S-”SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY”
i dont think its gud to take marijuana because it can damage ur body party
PLEASE DONT SMOKE IT
The problem with smoking weed EVERYDAY from a young age is that you do not mature. You stay stuck in teen age land. If you want to stay stuck there it’s okay with me.
It’s like drinking every day, you don’t face your problem you HIDE behind the smoke.
I do believe it should be legalized, but like any mind altering drug should be should be used sparingly.
Also I have found that people who smoke everyday, become lethargic, and play games all day, while mom goes out and works to bring home the munchies.
one hit wouldnt hurt a bit
weed dose not kill but when u smoke it it makes you do stupid things that can kill you
It couldn’t have been said better if I said it myself.
That’s incorrect. That is what alcohol does. I’ve smoked weed for 4 years and even the first time I did it when I was 15 I had complete control over my body. Go smoke weed and come bacon here and I’d love to hear about all of th “stupid things it made you do”.
lmao yeah, I’ve been smoking pot for about 2 years now and never has it caused me to make a dumb decision, sure it has made me act stupid but that’s completely different, infact weed makes me more thoughtful of a situation that I’m going through, and when I’m high I think things way more thoroughly then when I’m sober, I’ve made up a whole theory of life itself and what’s gonna happened when we die when I was high and I still live up to that theory now, and I’m sober, I don’t think the problem is that it makes you do dumb things, I just think it’s how some people handle it, some people get completely obsessed with it and they don’t know how to handle it, they think that it’s all fun in games until they have to go to rehab, others take it seriously, like me, and to be perfectly honest I think weed has made my life better since I started smoking it, sure when I first did it I was thinking straight but I’d say up to a year ago weed has done nothing but help me, I feel like it’s put me on the right track
i know a couple of ppl that hav tryed and i wnt 2 try it but i cnt get my hands on it yet since im only 14
yes there is sum upsides 2 it but ther r bad sids 2 so dnt be a dumfuk and do it evry day do lik 3 joints er so
3 joints ain’t shit.. Learn what you’re talking about before posting
what does 14 have to do with it, 13 year olds score it!
Would you jump off a cliff if someone else did? What is so great about it? You think it makes you cool?
You replied to Tom’s comment… Unless you had a temporary brain malfunction and clicked “reply” to his comment by accident, then I would like to inform you that Tom didn’t mention ONCE ever smoking. He just said that 13 year olds get pot. Is that a fact? Yes. If I said that, would that mean I smoke pot? Nope. You know what they say about people who assume…..
Some people enjoy it. Just like some people enjoy harassing people about their hobbies over the Internet. What a world!
How can you compare smoking pot to jumping off a cliff? Getting high is what’s so great about it, and it’s just fun. Who smokes it to be cool anyways? Watching TV is fun and everybody does it, but nobody does it to be cool
im only 14 too, and i got hands on weed since i was 13 and still do. but um, dont try it. it feels good to be high but you get hooked to it. you might think you’ll stop but you wont. i know i can but i just dont choose to. if you do, you gonna get high! well, it depends on how much you smoke
key word people “HOOKED”(: you can quit, its hard, and you’ll have withdrawls, ive been trying to quit ever since i was your age and i cant, but now im 3 days sober, an it feels good. just not the with drawls, stoners fall in love with the smell, the taste, the feeling, some the way you act, the way food taste, everythingg. it is an exacelant feeling untill you realize what a f**k up your addiction caused you(: i like you too, i dnt accociate with 14 year olds much, mainly bc they think theyr all cool for smoking weed but you actually make sence. you an Debbie, no one else really.
im 24 and smoke weed but i would say wait till your 18 before you try it……your brain is still growing
i smoked a blunt 2 times a day and 2 years after i started me and 3 of my friends got into a car super high after i got out 2 of my friends are dead and me and my other friend has been in wheel chairs ever seince
cuz yo dumbass dont know how to drive! it was ur stupid decision that has nothing to do with smoking pot.
Good for you.
That’s because you and your friends were being stupid. When you smoke, chill out on a couch with a few friends, turn on some music or a movie, or just sit and talk. No one hasever died from smoking marijuana. It’s illegal because of racism, can’t tax it, control it, misunderstandings, and there are only 36% of the population in America who support legalizing it. It isn’t addictive, I smoke it, and I don’t NEED it; when someone asks if I want to smoke some, why not? It doesn’t cause violence like alcohol, so I say marijuana is the better way to go.
I hope you don’t have any children.
Debbie, there is no reason to harass people for their decisions. Smoking weed isn’t the best thing in the world, but its certainly not the worst. I smoke often and I am a sophomore in college, and I have ambitions of getting my doctorate. I would just like to know, what makes you think you’re so much better than all of these people? To me, you are worse than anybody on here because I simply cannot stand negative people. It is not your place to determine who is a good or bad person, and who is living their life wrong. I would much rather be around pot smokers than some ignorant, stuck up, negative person. My point is, you and everyone else that act like you’re God and are somehow better than everyone else. And this is a reply to all of your comments, by the way.
Why? Because Tash is one of very few on here to make sense? I would bet my Zong that you drink at least occasionally Debbie, therefore I would consider you a hypocrite.
The fact is marijuana may impair some motor function slightly, but alcohol impairs all motor function significantly. I choose to smoke pot because I can’t stand the taste or feeling of alcohol. I am in no way a heavy smoker and I have never put a drug into my body, including prescription drugs. I don’t even use over the counter medication due to the fact I am allergic to aspirin and many of the ingredients found in the pills.
Every one should look at themselves instead of pointing the finger at every one else for what they choose to do. We all use something to take away the pain or “escape” from time to time. Whether it be alcohol, weed, prescription drugs, or any thing that is designed to relieve pain or give you a “good feeling.” I mean I’m sure almost everyone here has swallowed some cough syrup at least once in their lives, that instantly makes you a hypocrite. Congratulations on experimenting with what is basically meth to “sooth your cough.”
Lighten up and enjoy yourselves, we only get a short time to live why do we waste it arguing about lifestyles and the choices other people make?
all you people who have read this essay and don’t want to quit or think its all a lie are stupid. Weed is not good for you and it IS HARMFUL TO YOUR BODY MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. If you claimed to have done some research you need to do a bit more because obviously you didn’t understand nothing you read. You will see when you start to experience some of the horrible things that are coming. You know as well as I do that its not good for you yall are just the EFFIN DUMB to stop. I bet most of you are young too. I am only 20 years old but I don’t want to throw my life away like so many other failures out there and I know yall are thinking that you can smoke weed all day and still be something great but thats impossible. Yall need a serious REALITY CHECK. I hope yall get one before its too late. BUT I highly doubt it.
ok i didnt hear u once say how it affects us in our health besides little things that stop after a little while, I mean what do you care what other people do…. and i no pot heads that function just fine maybe you as your own person cant handle weed, but others can stupid
People think that Bob Marley died from smoking marijuana, he died from blood poisoning; nothing to do with marijuana. It actually helps prevent lung cancer, and it doesn’t effect you mentally or physically. Maybe when you’re in the state of being high, you lose track of time, you get a bit of short term memory loss, but you don’t forget personal identity. It honeslty is the better way to go than drinking alcohol. Which sounds more dangerous- a drunk driver speeding down the main road and hitting a car and possibly killing them and the other person/people, or someone who is high driving 10 miles down the main road and hitting a stop light? Seriously, don’t judge it without actually knowing the FACTS. People these days…
Actually, we know it is not good for us; but we choose to smoke it. Cause it is our life.
I agree. Why do you all think they call it dope? Because dopes smoke it.
For one Ms Andrea if you went to school you obviously didn’t understand ANYTHING you read! There is nothing in this article about it being harmful to your body, but about the affects it has on the body. The horrible things that are coming? Have you ever actually consumed weed or are you just one of those people that decides to comment on things they know nothing about? It may not be good for you but its also not bad for you. Since your so smart can you tell me one person that has died because they smoked weed? So you don’t hurt yourself trying to think about it I’ll answer for you….NO. They may have died because they did something stupid while they were high, but honey thats just cause there are some dumb ass people in this world. Most of us are to young? Since when does weed have an age limit on it like alcohol or tobacco? Oh that’s right…it doesn’t. How do you know that you can’t be something great even while being a stoner? Seeing how uneducated you are I’m assuming the pot heads you know probably won’t amount to anything in their life. Remeber its a big world out there besides just where you are. You need a serious REALITY CHECK before it’s to late. BUT I highly doubt you would comprehend it.
I love how you assume if someone smokes they must do it all day everyday! maybe its like drinking and just used socially and at parties. maybe some people smoke at night while watching tv. Guess what! some people only smoke responsibly and dont go to work or school high and never drive under the influence. And what horrible things are coming!?! The devil is gonna come out of my bong and steal my soul?? Please inform me cause Id love to hear it…
GO WEED
i smoke ti middle scholl everyday ^^
does this affect your memory in any way ??
yeah it sucks but there are ways around it like me i just put reminders in my phone so i wont forget haha
No haha, only when you’re in the state of being high you tend to forget what you’re talking about, small things like that. But when you’re sober, you’re perfectly fine. You dont’ get horrible after effects like you would from drinking.
Of course it affects your memory. Even the dopers on here can’t deny that.
Ahhh Debbie, you’re just a barrel of laughs. BTW dope in heroine. and it really doesn’t affect your memory, I smoke once every 2-3 months and I’ve never had memory lapses, but when I go on my 6 mile jog every other day and I come back, my runner’s high makes me forget where I put my keys and it makes me forget why I left the refrigerator open. Does that mean running long distance is also considered dope? You need to get your facts straight. Don’t write about a topic you just don’t understand.
yeah it does but it affects the short term memory, like say you need to get something from a room and once you go into that room you’ll completely forget what you are doing, or you’ll leave something somewhere and completely forget where you left it, sure that happens to everyone but if you continuously smoke weed it’ll happen way more often
And Yall Wonder Why Yall Have Dead End Jobs Including Lousy Pay,Pot Heads!!!
i smoke weed couple times a month and im in medical school…i have one more year to become a doctor…im doing great in my studies… and then is nothing wrong with me… there are no health affects of weed unless you do it for 80 yrs every day after another ….so plz u dont know shit and f*** off
I hope your never my doctor. You are such a f*** up! Who wants a doctor that’s high? If you could put yourself in a parents place, would you want a doctor for your child that is high? But I’m sure you can’t even imagine that because your in LaLa land. And your life revolves about yourself.
OMG debbie you honestly seem so god dam scared of weed. i dont smoke but your making such a big deal about it and how you’ll be a failure in life. For a lot of people smoking weed helps people cope with difficult things going on in their life. it makes you mellow, and you’ll just go with the flow. do some research smoking weed is perfectly fine. Debbie YOU are the definition of a close minded person. Its people like you that other people get upset at learn to open your mind, think outside the box.
Oh Debbie don’t you know that all doctors and medical employees get drug tested and randonly drug tested, and guess what if they fail that drug test…THEY DON’T GET HIRED. So don’t worry your precious children, whom I hope are smarter than you, won’t have a doctor that is stoned. I’m sure medical school is hard (though I highly doubt you would know) so if they are still doing good in school AND toking it up, then they are just fine. You should get out a little more Debbie, or smoke a bowl every now and then. (;
Once again, I must intervene… He smokes it a couple times a month! You’re not high for weeks after you smoke!!! He’s obviously intelligent since he’s becoming a doctor (that takes a lot of intelligence), and he knows his limits. If he’s operating on a patient, he’ll wait ’til AFTER to light up!
Uh he said he smokes!! that doesnt mean he is gonna go to work high! of course not! Are you slow?? If you drink does that mean you shouldnt have a job becasue you will apparently go to work drunk?? No! So what the hell are you talking about DEBBIE??
Debbie, Debbie, Debbie. Alcohol is perfectly legal, but you’re doctor doesn’t show up drunk everyday. If Marijuana was legalized, it would be treated the same way. Smoke it at home, or at night. NOT AT WORK. It’s thinking about close-minded people like you that makes me grab ma big-ol bong every night
I would hate to be one of your children Debbie. you are a very closed minded person and that’s the reason why your children won’t tell you when they start experimenting with sex, drugs, alcohol etc. Narrow minded people like yourself are the reason people are too ashamed to talk about drugs and other problems. If we were all open, receptive and not naive like yourself, those people with problems would be more likely to talk about their problems and address them.
ummm… Just cause he smokes weed doesn’t mean he’s going to be high on the job. Turn off your blinders. It’s 2011.
You know whats funny debbie ? your kids are probably more likely to smoke weed than anybody els’s kids on here, just cause your zoo against it. Obviously you have absolutely no knowledge on this subject!
I am 24 years old. I work full time as a Respiratory Therapist at a local hospital. I smoke weed ~1-6 times a day for two years now (1 time being on nights I work I’ll take 1 bong rip to help me to sleep after I get off work. Never will I smoke before I go to work, there’d be no pleasure in that). So since I work three 12 hr shifts a week, I have 4 off days a week. So if I’m off work & it’s a rainy day, I’ll smoke more like 6-7 bong rips during the whole day. If I’m busy with running errands or going places then it’s usually just twice a day.
I am not fat. Actually I just lost 40 pounds & am no longer considered obese. Weed helped with this so much because being high made me enjoy healthy foods a lot more than I ever would have. When I get tummy aches from anxiety, weed helps that. When my boyfriend has awful migraines everyday & no doctor has figured out why or how to help it, he smokes weed & the migraines subside. He also has to have surgery on his knee in a few weeks & will not be taking the dangerous narcotics he will be prescribed for pain; he will be smoking marijuana instead to effectively take the pain away without doing a number on your liver or causing other side effects like nausea.
Basically all I’m trying to say is that we are normal ppl who perform our jobs at the best of our abilities, we are very social, we are not lazy we have many hobbies that take up most of our spare time. But when I come home from a tough time at work, I’d prefer a bong rip over a beer.
No what I think would be funny. If you ^^ got caught smoking and your whole career falls down the drain. Why would you throw away 8 years of expensive school just so you can get a nice feeling once in a while. Damn, you people are so stupid.
smoke weed everyday… dont give a f***….
2012 “dummy”
ha motha f***a what?
who cares if we live or die from weed..
it keeps me alive..
as a matter ah fact…
its keeping you alive you stupid ass hick..
if weed wasnt there people like us would kill you.
its a weed war.
we come to earth to grow.
you come to earth to f*** guys.
its actually really simple. the real answer is that…
if you some one hit you’ll die.
10 you die.
im pretty sure i’ve hit the jack pot with pot..
and im still going to die.
look at it this way…..
hitler didnt smoke..
satan is banned from smoking..
im pretty sure santa did since he gives me plants for christmas.
oh yeah… and your parents smoke.
hahahahahahahahaha
You must be high, because what you said makes no sense what so ever.
Haha, Debbie, your prudish behavior has cost you credibility. Lets perceive how we wish and not be negatively driven. Leisurely consumption could do little harm, however abusing anything could have long term disadvantages. Its all about self cpommel and priority. I agree that a young persons mind has not completly formed and could not know self control at the normal level, therefore could not comp rehend abuse.
keep at it boyo youll be getting paranoid and then insane and youll have to go to the hospital
think your smart? lol keep at it youll see
take it from a person than seen alot of cases. this will kill your brain slowly and you will start to notice the poison in your body sooner or later.
smoking weed is the badest
my friends and I all smoke not everyday but a good amount and most of them are all very successful people. most all go to very prestegious universities and get mostly all a’s and some of my friends are very lazy and don’t do much bt there’s much less of them. another thing is I know many adults who smoked or still smoke and have normal to great lives with children wife a great job so the whole stereotype is not as common as you think. of course there are the harmful things like an increased chance if getting lung cancer but it’s a very low chance
You must be having a out of body experience.
I used to smoke marijuana every day. I quit smoking cigarettes and marijuana every day on November 30th. I have noticed that my memory and concentration have increased since then. I enjoy life more than I ever did while smoking marijuana. I believe the government wants you to smoke cigarettes and marijuana, and consume junk food and fast food, so that you will commit crimes and end up having to pay them money. Stop smoking marijuana now. Marijuana makes you THINK you want it, this is what so many people do not understand. It’s also the same way with cigarettes. Drugs are a combination of something that makes you feel good, something that addicts you, and something that harms you. Think about it. Stop smoking marijuana. Stop smoking cigarettes. Learning and advancing your mind is more enjoyable than any drug out there.
ok as an X pot head u no there are times when you have had a really bad day and need to relive some stress so smoke n a bowl or two helps its the person descsion if they wanna f*** their memory up and I love how my life is go n even if i smoke
You dont even know how your life is if you smoke.
yeee makc knows what hes sayin, bun trees n go to school and youll see what you were really meant to learn LOL
okay well im a 14 year old girl and i recently started smoking,
anyways, i have found a new love in this world,
weed wow all i can say is that i would get along with a couple of people up there
since ive started smoking(everday)
im able to remember more things afterward than i normally do sober,
also it helps me think
the feelings are just a plus;)
my grades HAVE NOT been affected im still an a honor roll student.
also if you havent already read this users comment i sugest you do i highly agree with this person(>>>)
nunya
u just started tho and if your body works like mine then u will start to loose concentration cuz i felt like that too but then if u take a break like a did untull u think youve gained controll where you dont feel like that abt it then do it
wait 3 years then you will see
I smoked weed every f***ing day for a long time. Did it benefit me at all. NO! Sure I would laugh for hours with my friends and every food I put into my mouth tasted great, but really it made me into a real McAsshole. ( I just had to say that lol) I really found myself to be enslaved by the weed. Not physically, but psychologically. I lost relationships with people whom I really did enjoy spending time with, I had much fear and anxiety and began to isolate myself from people including my family so that I can “enjoy my high”(before smoking weed I was a more outgoing person.) I got arrested, did jail time, got into very bad mental and physical shape (I could run miles with no trouble before.) If I could go back I would. I mean really, when actually has there been a time where you got that really “good” high? I mean sure maybe a couple times out of the hundreds of times you have smoked, but usually the “session” turns out to be moderately disappointing. I will not judge you and tell you not to smoke pot nor consume it .I was also in your shoes, but from what I have seen from all of my “homies” , friends and some loved ones, I have only seen a path filled with a blinding cloud of smoke leading to nowhere. To a path where the only thing that is keeping you content is marijuana smoke burning your lungs. It really did make me hit rock bottom, and thats what pulled my head out of my ass. It really did. So for all you little mocos out there, your time will come, maybe not tomorrow, nor today, nor maybe not even in 20 years, but someday it will come.
*Think of marijuana as a food. For instance Pizza. Many people would agree eating a whole pizza is bad for your health, correct? It contains much fat that can clog your arteries which can lead to serious health problems. To much of it is bad for your health. I believe the same applies to marijuana, but really to much of ANYTHING you put into your body is bad, even to much water. If you would start eating a whole box of pizza everyday after work or school or whatever it would become habit, and eventually start having harmful effects on your health. Same applies to Mary Jane. To much will start making you slow, less witty, and make you into a social retard.( I have seen this first hand.) So for you potheads out there who can’t live without the intoxicating smoke of marijuana, just smoke less. Take 2 slices of pizza instead of taking the whole box, and once in a while. And please do not start with that “My tolerance is to high to smoke so little.” IF YOU STOP SMOKING SO MUCH THE TOLERANCE GOES DOWN. Therefore you can still get high, but with less weed having less harm on your health. So instead of smoking a fat blunt, having a bowl or two from the vaporizer, bong, or better yet, don’t even smoke at all
AMEN.
weeds alrite but coke is where its at
So after going through and reading most of these comments I feel as if I must voice my input. I to some extent agree with Sanchez but only on the part where moderation is spoken about, the key to everything in life is moderation. I began smoking weed going into my Junior Year of High School and have been smoking since ( now about to graduate) I have found that it doesn’t have a profound effect on you as long as you keep it in moderation.
The only 2 downsides to weed is the paranoia and the tar, while paranoia differs from person to person it is all psychological and can be controlled. The health effects of marijuana are few to none, with one of the worst being the tar you inhale with the marijuana smoke that is nothing compared to cigarettes that some people smoke multiple times a day.
The argument that marijuana is a gateway drug is completely unjustifiable, of course there is that group of people out there always looking to get “f***ed up” but for the majority of users of marijuana in this country the only reason to turn to “harder” drugs in because of how pot has been shown in a criminal light making it look evil and so when you are going in for a drug test you are not going to want to test positive for thc so one will take other drugs that will not show up on your average piss test.
I will admit I am not even close to being the healthiest person but I can also say that I enjoy Lifting weights almost every other day and doing strenuous cardio on the days I don’t lift, I try to maintain a balanced diet and eat real food not processed shit that this country is trying to feed us ( a big-mac left out in the wild will not get eaten by bacteria, what does that tell you?) and of course I work extra hard at the gym when I’m going to be munching out lol.
Also a part that gets to me is that people assume all “stoners” and all “potheads” are going to be dropping out of school and going to their dead end jobs, I for one strongly disagree with this, I am a Senior in High School, enrolled in various AP classes, have a 3.45 gp ( funny thing is my gpa sucks/isn’t what I want it to be from the first 2 years of high school prior to smoking weed), smoked the day before my ACT test and scored a 29 on it (1st try) went back during the summer and scored a 30 on it, and I will be attending a big 10 school this year with a $16,000 scholarship a year for 6 years to become a pharmacist at the 16th best school in the country for pharmacy.
So please while everyone is entitled to their own opinion don’t try to force yours onto people, I just ask you this, if the government needed an amendment(19th i think) to prohibit alcohol, why do they have any right to prohibit drugs without one? Also if they can tell you what you CANNOT put into you’re body doesn’t that basically give them the right to tell you later down the road what you MUST put into your body? So sorry for my huge speech but I had to let it out after all this misinformation was given out by people. I guess I’m just proud to be a stoner, have a nice day.

Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use… Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana.”

There is tar in poT? I thought there were just little circles going round and round.
Well marijuana isn’t even bad.
It’s a plant, not a chemical.
Therefore, god created it because he wanted us to have it.
THE END
I thought I had already read all the stupid comments. But I must say, You topped them all!
My grandpa smokes weed, he has a few nice cars a pool, and he is fine other than his memory loss. all that other stuff isn’t true.
How would you know? You can’t remember!
He never said he smoked. Also, people who smoke don’t suddenly have their memory washed. If it is affected at all, it’s a gradual process.. once again… STOP ASSUMING. You know what they say about people who assume… (I’m gonna have to start copying and pasting this to all of your comments now!)
debbie, ive seen all your posts and just want to say, you have no facts to back up your comments, you know nothing about weed, and you think youre so high and mighty for judging people about there life style. heres a fun fact, weed has 50 less carcinogens than tobacco ciggarettes and guess how many people have died from smoking weed.0!!! Im 14, and ive been smoking for 2 years. Weed kept me from committing suicide and has helped a big part of my life. Weed has been proven to cure glaucoma and has been used to treat AIDS and cancer. The sad part about all this is, is that i know more facts about marijuana than you ever have.So stop trollin! and have a nice day!
Smoking marijuana alone has never killed anyone, ever. Tobacco and alcohol kill millions of people each year, but they are legal. The only reason it is illegal is because cigarette companies pay the government tons of money to make it that way. No one would smoke tobacco when they could be smoking pot. Marijuana also does not lead to harder drugs. All the crackheads that have smoked weed would be crackheads if they haven’t smoked weed. It is all in your own personal choices. If it was dangerous, than why did God make it. It is 110% natural, and the only reason it is bad is because Obama says so. For all of you who think marijuana is bad, smoke a joint and tell me how you feel about it.
P.S. Barack Obama was a pothead, and he is the President of the United States of America, so how can you say that it turns you into a low-life working at Burger King.
HAHA yeah that is all true I hate how pepople say that weed encourges them to smoke crack or what ever BULLSHIT you made the choice to smoke that u made the choice of becomig a crack head
Your saying Obama says smoking pot is bad, and your saying he was a pothead. lol.
If it was dangerous, than why did God make it? God made Tobacco! Among other things. So God made pot because he wanted all his followers to get high? Obviously, the reason you made that off the wall statement, is because you are not in your right mind. In other words, you are high.
Also, cigarretes are enhanced with chemicals and all sorts of disgusting things to the point where they are, in fact, NOT natural. Weed, unless tainted with other drugs or substances, is natural.
I have never heard of a menthol tobacco plant… and i have also never heard of a menthol marijuana plant either… you seem to me like an ignorant person… i can really argue with you to the extent that you could possibly go insane or entirely mental but i do not wish to do that because you would not listen anyways you oh ignorant little person… why do you seem to be the person who never questions anything? why does it seem that marijuana has more than a simple reason for being illegal? im sure that if you ever read this you will just come up with some kind of snide comment or long devoted poetry of more bs that can be shot down and verified as complete ignorance… people like you make the world a bad place… and i have some questions for you… lets say relaxing was illegal because studies showed that people who relax more tend to be more lazy… now would people see this as bs? would their right to do what they want be taken? im just saying is that people should have a choice to do what they want with their lives… and if marijuana makes one lazy and stupid then why send them to prison? so that they can be taken care of by you the tax payer? ef that i dont want to pay for someone who makes mistakes… i would rather see someone who has messed up their life in a gutter than in a prison where they get food… so maybe legalizing marijuana isnt such a bad thing? and then you would say at this point zomg car crashes!! high drivers!! well the money saved from not feeding the now homeless would be put to educating the stupid not smoke and drive… kinda like what they did with alcohol and still do…
yes marijuana is a good drug and other ones are to but people tend to over do it and when you do that then you get addicted. of course you do common knowledge same thing with marijuana.
why?
the answer is you are getting high and if it is not addicting then why do you get high every day
i did a test with my brother and he told me that he can stop smoking weed well i took all of his money then i tool his kill switch on his car buy the end of the day he was sober for like 6 hours then his girl friend called and they got in a fight and so on. At 11pm he said can you give me my kill switch i said why do you what it he said he had to go to THE STORE okay. so i gave him the kill switch and his money then when he left at 1230 then he came home at 230 f***in’ stoned out of his mind.
i asked him a question are you high he reply-ed yes i am i high as f*** . why i got in a fight with my girl.
if getting high is so good why do people lose there job and get divorced over time. well if i owed a business i wouldn’t want a pothead using equipment. and i bet who every reads this massage is going to be pissed.
when you get high because you get in a fight then you are doing it in the wrong way all you are doing is going to create a bigger problem in the future.
and why would
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
make that comment well lets see he is making a killing selling weed he get a cut thats why and the guys/women who own the weed shop can make a killing too by going to AZ. and sell that ounce for a shit load of money.
sam thing with George Washington, U.S. President he made a lot of money selling Hemp
its all a business good or bad.
Your grammar is worse than the effects of weed LOL
Who cares? Compared a lot of processed food crap that people eat daily, this doesn’t matter. And none of these reasons are compelling enough to make marijuana illegal.
You mean you can say big words like that when your high?
Debbie, you either need to get high or you need to get a life. You are a very annoying person. what has weed ever done to you to make you hate it so much?
Debbie, why do you say amen and praise other peoples opinions but you can’t state your own? You only respond to short comments, but if someone makes a valid point you shoot back at them like it’s a personal attack rather than using qualitative evidence as your response.
none of these reasons???? gosh i hate you guys most of you are probably American …. lets do a little experiment shall we?? first. get high second. go on the internet and look up how fast the world spins on its axe third. think about it and go insane THATS WHY ITS ILLEGAL cuzz it makes you insane or gets you psychosis
If marijuana makes you “cool” with the world, then why do people defend it with all the ferocity of a crack addict? I don’t understand why people get all hyped up over this stuff. I can tell you I’ve seen what it does to people mentally and it does change them. People will defend this stuff before they will defend their own family and yet they still don’t see a problem? I personally don’t care if someone is doing it, I just want them to know that it does cause psychiatric disturbances in the brain, I have seen it happen to more than just a few. Just an FYI. Although I’m sure it will get the regular out of control responses, could someone just for once explain to me why it is so important, important enough to defend in this manner?
They are high. They do not know what they are saying or doing. They think they are on Mars.
People who smoke are not constantly high… STOP ASSUMING. You know what they say about people who assume…
oooh you can read minds now too??
I have been(and still) smoking weed(likes da KUSH tho) for 22 years and I am thinking about putting it down now. I guess after all the real(sobber) times and high times I have had in my life I must say the things I remember the most are from the sobber times. People will always judge others just because they can.
lol. This is all some bullshit. I’m high as hell right now and I’m using my brain. Why are you people so hard on weed? Ok lets talk about cheating wives and husbands and gay people and lesbians, or child molesters, or how about over weight people that just over eat for no reason, or maybe skinny girls that are to damn small, or all you fake barbie bitches with implants, or people who wack off. Hmm whats that silence??? We all have flaws, ups and downs, some good and some bad, it’s your body, you know what it likes,what it wants and needs. How many of us in life can honestly say we do everything right and all that we are suppose to at all times. Stop all this judging and let’s just live people. Perfection comes after death,for those who don’t understand that statement. After you make it to heaven that’s when you will master perfection. My life is mind and yours is yours. S.T.F.M {STOP THE F***ING MADNESS} Look at yourself before you judge the next person. For those of you that are catching my drift holla at ya girl kredrick@aol.com. Later
Hmm this argument seems to be irrelevant..
You said it yourself. What your body needs. If it needs pot, it’s a problem.
weed is the next best thing and it should be legalized over in or country n ireland ……
It’s like what the SOUTH PARK episode explained ( and im summarizing, because I was high when i watched it. ) Weed may not have any long term harmful side effects but if its all you do all the time you may wake up from your highness one day and realize your not good at anything else. The short term memory loss prevents you from being able to learn anything at a higher level. Thus, your life may never reach a higher level. I’ve met alot of smokers along the way, and only a few could perform tasks the same as if they were sober, everyone else was just kidding themselves. That’s just the truth from my view.
Thank the Lord! Someone has some sense on this line.
Im sitting in photography watching this stoner ass bitch eat the whole damn cafeteria because shes high as fuuuck. but who gives a shit right? Weed is amazing, Ive never got so smart in one year and grew so many more brain cells, ITS AWESOME! I like smoking every day every week every month and every year, weed for life is what we call it down here tha south life. Aledo is a thuggin azz nigguh town and all we do is grow, all you guys that are against it gently pull the dildo out of your ass and light up a blunt.
I’m not at all against the fact that people use different methods to feel arroused, and yes weed may have som positive medical effects that alcohol certainly does not. I personally don’t want to socialize with a high person when I’m not high myself as well as I don’t want to socialize with a drunk person when I’m not drunk as well. When a person smokes/drinks several times a week and you don’t, it puts you on different levels way too often, which will have a negative effect on the relationship (I’m mostly reffering to couples living together). So to summarize this: Smoke and drink as much as you want (it’s your own body) as long as it doesn’t affect your loved ones in a bad way.
Impossible.
weed is the best thing in the world! maybe people who havent tried a few joints have no idea what its like, weed makes me soo happy.
And you make everyone else sooo unhappy.
Hello people
I basicly have been smoking weed everyday since I started.
No need to say I love marijuana, of course everyone has their own opinion about it, but we just need to respect one anther with our decisions. Bummer it’s illegal, if not I’d grow a while field of da shitt
Its like everything in this world, it has a good side and a bad one, but as it may be harmfull for ones health, it can also be beneficial in many ways. Tumor reduccion, pain relief, stimulation of appetite, etc.. I feel it helps my creative side, I like to play music and draw and insted of afectng me it helps me. Oh, and I shall forever light up a J before I go surf :B
Live and let live.
Hey this is really helping me for my school project. A little more information would help me out a bit. Thanks soo much!!!
First of all, this article is full of shit.
Marijuana is not the product of grinded up leaves, seeds, and stems etc. It is the the bud (flower) of the plant. So before someone decides to post an article, do your research. While carcinogens are present in MJ smoke, just like any other smoke, studies show that it actually can counteract cancer. THC has no harmful effects on your body. However, just like alcohol, Weed can remove a persons inhibitions I.E. saying stupid things that pop into their head and stumbling around. But this soley depends on the person. If you smoke. act all crazy, are not able to control yourself and annoy all the other potheads around you, then smoking weed isn’t for you. Personally, i go to school, work, and athletics high and i can hold my shit together (these can be massive buzzkills though). I’ve taken tests high before and gotten A’s but like you said it depends on the person. While paranoia is one major side effect, a pothead must realize that its all in their head and quit coming up with stupid scenarios (like “Oh that guys on the phone, hes probably calling the cops on us for being high”). Once you chillax, being high is very enjoyable and the only real major downfall i see is the lack of motivation it can bring occasionally.
Weed is a miracle that’s grown from the earth, and people need to see that its not addictive, it has medical purposes, it shouldnt be illegal due to the fact thats its exponentially safer than alcohol or tobacco, and our gov is spending more and more deficit money on prosecuting people that like to have a good time. People need to wake the f*** up and smell the bud.
All in all : Marijuana for the WIN!
It is good for medical purposes which is what it should be used for. The reason Medical pot in not legal in some states, is because so many people get fake doctors excuses, and expect to use it even if they just stub their toe. Pot users are making it harder on the people that are really sick and need it. They should make it easier for the people that have terminal illnesses, and harder for the fakers. I have heard dopers say,”Pot is going to be legalized in a certain state for medical purposes, so
I can get it.” Why should anyone be able to get it legally if they aren’t really sick?
well that’s america babe…sorry to hand it out to you but there is a lot of people out there who are raised by people like you who close their children’s minds with doors of solid lies and twisting stories of false truth.
america has problems yes, we do stupid things yes, like harass each other….but that’s fun, anyways sorry, back to the point…medical weed is limited to people with medical records, anyone who abuses this gets their rights taken and their plants stripped.
…they get the laws changed to benefit themselves.
Well, do you use oregano in your food? Do you use lavender, or use herbal supplements to balance your diet and mood?
“Why should anyone be able to get it legally if they aren’t really sick?”
Marijuana is an herb with a purpose, just like lavender, sage, eucalyptus, thyme, etc. Should you have to be sick just to use those herbs too? Regardless if one herb makes you high and the others just adjust your mood to whatever you see fit, its all still just herbs.
The image that marijuana is bad was provided by the media and funded by the alcohol, textile, and oil industry so the rich stay rich. One of the first cars manufactured by Harrison Ford was fueled by marijuana oil, and was used until lobbyists paid the government to start the war on drugs to keep up the image of “black gold”. (could you imagine being able to grow your own gasoline?) This image that marijuana is bad for you is a lie, as stated above it just has to be used with moderation for the medicinal effects. Its not for you to judge other people for their habits because you yourself are not a perfect person. (“let he who is without sin, cast the first stone”)
I won’t argue that smoking everyday isn’t good for you. I’ve smoked almost everyday for the past two years and I’ve finished college and started my career as a graphic artist. My life has been going uphill since I started, I’ve even started giving my money away to charity and telling people I don’t even know that I love them, because Jesus does.
These are my reasons for being at peace with it. You’re the only person on this website I felt I should share with. You don’t put up a solid argument at all, you just say hateful things to these people which isn’t Christlike at all. I honestly don’t care if you change your mind about marijuana, just don’t act so judgmental and hateful towards my people because its not your place. Let God decide whats best.
this was good infor, but unfortunatley i smoke and wont be quiting. it was nice though to see how it affects your body
haha thats exactly what i said
I agree 100000000000000%
i’m a meth addict…whenever i feel, it’s getting more than enough, the only way i find is mary jane. i don’t know about you guys, for me, it’s lyk a dream, i wish i could leave all the fucking drugs and get laid on my mary jane, for the rest of my life.
this is something the sobers will never get. she makes me want to feel, she makes me smile, lemme talk to my friends with PEACE…
that’s wat this is fellows…the ultimate PEACE…so ppl who dn feel lyk doin it….don’t. and to the high society….light up ur joint…i knw tht makes u laugh ur ass off at the sober fuks…let it go…some r jus not meant to be high…peace
yer right u do feel like yer in a dream when yer high
your all a bunch of faggots and retarded. ive been smoking weed everyday for the past two years and i have witnessed no side affects of having visual distortion and brain nt being abe to think right and all the other bullshit your telling people, and dude with the blunt kep smoking after today cause as a user you see how it affects you, an have you become dumb with no vision or lost of memory? dobt it. i have an b average in school, about to graduate, live on my own, and skate for a living. so either your another gay website trying to stop marijuana from being legal with false advetising or ive been smoking oregeno for 2 years which i dobt the headies i got are.
if you peopl want real information comment me back, dont believe there manipulating shit.
haha i like how u posted this at the time 4:20 lol but i agree wit u ha
You have been smoking oregeno for 2 years. You didn’t notice because you were high. And from your spelling, I can see your brain’s been on vacation for quite some time. I hope you have a nice day. Thats right, you will. Because you are high and you don’t know where you are.
Totally agree with you. I saw you said you skated for a living and then I looked at your name……….. If this is really you then that’s cool as hell. I believe that everything in life requires temperance; whether its weed or even sunlight. Weed puts you in a different mindset and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, it’s truly up to the individual on how often they want there OWN MINDS to be altered. Ive smoked a lot of super dank down south Baton Rouge chronic over the years and I’m still able to appreciate the small things in life. If you like to smoke then smoke, if you don’t then don’t. SIMPLE AS THAT
Peace, love, and skate. “Don’t judge anyone, cause one day you might get beat” haha
i was jus smokin as im readin all thes comments.. i agree with both sides it is harmful 2 ur body but it didnt take a life n givs a good high oppose 2 hardcore shit…lik heroine or meth or crack or wateva weed is the greatest xspecialy 4 stress.. but i think people who dont smoke shouldnt down smokers … cuz i m sure us smokers dont down yous…if n e thing we ask you if u want 2…. and im sure most of u nonsmokers no that….im jus sayin i loooooovvvvveeeeee weed… its gods creation…. no 1 eva said not 2 smoke it we jus did and some1 said its illegal…
what happens to the body when you smoke weed…???what are the damages….no one have told any tng like that….n how many people have died because of weed….i think 0….any thing is not good for you to over use….if you are a regular user i think its better 2 limit it….outher thane that there are no harm….i knw dr who use weed….DON’T BE AFRAID USE IT….BUT LIMIT IT….
This was werd cuz i sent out to find something I didnt know about what happened when i smoke weed but after going to many websites i didn’t learn much that I didn’t already know so I still have yet to find a reason to convinse myself why poeple say not to smoke pot.
you have to find that out on your own after a certain time of smoking that shit youll get anxious and paranoid
um yeah. today is my 23rd birthday and Ive been smoking weed since i was 11. and im honestly fine. i live life. i work. i function just fine. other drugs have fucked my brain up. which is why i only smoke weed now. but i knew all of this information before. and i still smoke it helps me relax and fall asleep at night. im not slow by any means, im an artist with talent, i make music, i wrote a book, and i have a great understanding of the world and universe around me. if anyone would like to check out the art or music go on myspace and look up madness beneath the universe. or look me up on facebook. Fran Lussier. it was a pleasure people.
You have smoked since you were 11. Is that all you have to be proud of? What a loser.
“Is that all you have to be proud of?” Um……No, actually Debbie, if you take a minute to reread the post, you will see that the poster makes music, has written a book, etc…..I know its hard for you to keep up when you are trying so hard to think of witty little quips, but seriously? Gee Deb, if you arent careful, people are going to think you’re high! tsk tsk.
P.S. Perhaps you wouldn’t be such an uptight, humourless b****h if you smoked a little weed now and then!
P.S.S. This post was written by a 30 year old, mother and successful business owner who……..GASP!……smokes marijuana.
*LIKE* hey sara go fuck up your life an smoke weed all you want, just look back on your own immaturity when you GROW UP! so many people have been to juvie like me, an thats when you realize wow what a “dumbass” i was. not only bc you smoke, but bc of shit you do when your high notice your life before you started an then notice your life when you f**k it up., Debbie forget her, you just have some common sence.
you’ve smoked too much weed when u think the grateful dead is a good band.
also. i hate mankind. mankind fucked itself and still does every day. people cant look past there ignorance and stupidity. look at it this way, we are all trying to live our own lives on a tiny ball of dirt and water floating in an endless amount of space. what the fuck is there to fight about, who cares if your black or white or chines or Japanese or Mexican or w/e. why should it matter? why.. sum one give me a good answer to that question. anyone. and here will be my answer your wrong. its life. you get one chance to live it from the second you drop into this world. there is no god. you are your own god. you choose what you do with your time in life. so make it worth living. sum people may get this. others will not. and those who don’t. i have one suggestion for you… guess what it is…. go ahead.. no no no take your time.. got it yet??? smoke weed. look at the world from another s perspective.
Well, you certainly can’t look past your ignorance and stupidity.
AHAHAHA(: you crack me up. alot of people dont like you because you actualy have braincells unlike them, and your obviously more mature. but thats ok f**k them(: i actually like you, and everything you say makes sence. and you actually have a real name, not like Dead an 420, an mary j.
This whole articles stupid, weeds no where near as dangerous as alcohol. I smoke weed everyday, am in high school, skipped nearly a year and am still graduating on time, with good marks. Besides who wants to hear a bunch of mind f*cked alcoholics talk about how bad marijuana is? And the short term memory loss, ya i’ve had that, but that doesn’t make you forget everything, sure maybe a few details, but it’s only when you’ve smoke it and i can remember other things a lot better sometimes when i’m high, so it helps and hinders so I don’t mind. And weed doesn’t get boring. Shit I always used to do tons of crap when I was baked and never had a bad time. But I guess i’m from Canada and it’s basically accepted as much as alcohol and almost more than cigarettes. No matter what, just think about this, how many people die from Alcohol? And how many from Pot? None. Even cigarettes cost less to society than drinking so raise the f*cking booze prices and lay off my cigs haha.
And Go California! Legalize Weed!
Grow up!
I just blazed again yesterday first time in like 6 months. It was the best feeling in the world, I really regret not doing this everyday !! I think everyone should do it atleast once in their lifetime. Legalize this shittt <333 don’t worry so much, smoke a dutch.
it make me feel better i love it
am a 21 yr old father of twins….i smoke weed since i was about 11….every single day since about 15…i wanted to give it up big time cause i never have a shillen with da cuntin thing…but its lovely it hasnt made me lose my memory R ne of da shit dat all these ppl say….weed relaxes ya nd doesnt make ya fight nd b narky like alcohol….dnt put it dwn til u try it….hundreds of deaths with alcohol,ciggerates,cocaine etc zero deaths wer caused by weed FACT all i can say is Smoke Weed Every Day swed
Those poor children. What a role model.
Debbie, I try my hardest to respect every opinion I encounter in my life, whether I agree with it or not. In your case, you are simply going along as people comment on this thread and saying absurdly ignorant things that make you sound like a walking heap of warm propaganda. I can tell that you have never seen or consumed marijuana, just because you compared it to oregano; which is nothing like it, the only similarity I see is that it is also green. The sad part about it is you believe what you say. It’s not my fault, and this is where my inferring begins, that the government has fed you twisted statement after twisted statement and you ate it up. That is perfectly understandable. Almost everyone took what the government and federal organizations, T.V. and Radio said starting from about 1900 or so, as fact. And taking into account that all of your comments occur within an hour from the person posting it, you have been following this article since you first came across it, which tells me that you A: Have nothing better to do. , B: Have a fear of marijuana because you have been trying to protect people from it, when you haven’t even seen the fu****g plant. And C: Feel powerful from putting people down, which tells me that you may not have a lot of friends or people that care about you, and I don’t mean fake friends. (which you obviously wouldn’t understand if all of your friends are fake.
SO IN CONCLUSION, STOP SAYING…[edited by admin]
Just kidding about the this part. Ecstasy is bad. Weed is tight though.
she didnt but i have for over 3 years seems to me you don’t know what the fuck your talking about WEED ISNT THIGHT it makes you weak and paranoid im trying to warn people here but you fuckin hippies wont listen just keep smokin friendo you WILL see
Debbie, honestly, stop being so obnoxious. You sound like some of the spoiled rich girls I go to school with who can`t accept anyone else`s opinion besides their own. You made you`re point TEN comments ago. Stop being a B to everyone who doesn`t agree with you. We all accepted what you said, and gave you respect.
Also, we have facts to show that ganja is not harmful.
Go away & tend to you`re children. I feel bad for them. They probably won`t experience anything until they turn 18. It`ll be a big hit in the stomach for them how different life is outside of their comforting home.
~*kush&oranqe juice `!
I completely agree. Once they are actually thrown out into the real world, they aren’t going to know what to do. I just hope they don’t have a warped view of things like she does.
we have facts to show that ganja is not harmfu ………. i don’t even know what to say anymore … just keep smokin it i hope you get as bad a i feel
Thats funny because universities in countries all over the world have been testing weed and its effects and there was little to no decrease in coordination behind the wheel of a moving car, and in cases where theres a DUI the suspect was usually DRUNK ALSO not just stoned.
If i wasnt in a hurry Id post all of the legit research ive collected but i dont think i have to, enough people have smoked to be able to tell alot of that was bullshit.
It was interesting to read all the information on here. But honestly it weed is , so bad why has mostly EVERYONE in the world has done it or still smoke it. I believe it u do smoke do u but don’t be stupid in ur actions, I know people that are very good business men and women that smoke all kinds of different peeps. Some smoke for years and just stop because they want and never have a single withdrawal in my opinion no drug just let’s u go like that its natural.
Whats up
Im from California and weed should be legalized
hahah
i smoke it everyday and i got a 3.8 GPA and Im on the basketball team for my high school
Weed doesnt effect me at all, its great cuz i can have fun with it but at the same time concentrate on things important like school
fuck this website
weed isnt nearly as bad as alchohaul or cigarettes
alcohaul causes recklessness
and cigarettes contain over 2,000 man made chemicals like acetone, tar, rat poisoning, and etc.
dont believe me look it up
peace out everyone
This was an interesting thread. It was nice to read everyone’s opinion on Marijuana, and smoking weed. As for myself, I use too be a daily user of indo-smoke for quite sometime. I remember when I smoked my first joint when I was around 15 or so. I could never forget the experience, I was soo baked I got all paranoid because, I thought I would die of lung cancer, and my parents would kick me out the house if they caught me? (I was only 15 for fuck sakes lol gimmie a break?) thank god im 28 now lol. Back than, my older cousin-brother helped me realize the paranoia feeling is completely normal when your high on weed. So I finally calmed down, and shrugged it off like..whateverr?..lol. A few times after my first session, my body finally begun to get use too the high feeling. I enjoyed every sec. of being ripped, and relaxed, that I knew I was going to get addicted to this shit very soon. During my teenage-youth years, I was a very moderate bud smoker, and I could honestly say smoking weed wasnt a big deal during that time. However, as I grew older, and after my highschool-graduation is when I became a hardcore potter. Don’t know how that happened all of a sudden?. But, it happened!. 420 was an everyday thang for me, straight up!. The Chronic voodoo came over me!, YES!, I got possesed lol jk. To tell you the truth, after highschool, I just wanted too have fun, and try new things. Also because, I had alot of bullshit going on in my head. I was in a serious-relationship at age 19, I was working two-jobs, dealing with all sorts of unecessary drama & headaches etc. etc. All of the above and more were reasons for me to continue supporting my marijuana-addiction so I can avoid reality for a bit. I felt like mary jane was the answer to all my problems in life, whether I smoked for relaxation purposes, out of boredome, after work, for fun, after sex, social gatherings etc. I thought I was hooked 4 life. I’ve been clean for over a year now, but, I sometimes still get that temptation to roll a doobie. I go with the mind over matter mentality, and tell myself I could still serve life’s purpose with a sober mind, by being aware, and taking care of my health for my own benefit. Whether marijuana is good? or bad?. Their’s still no sufficient-evidence on the long-term productive affects it has on the human mind & body. So what?..cancer patients are prescribed to smoke it? (fuck, their gonna die anyway?), ive heard some shit that it’s used to prevent arthiritis to the joints & muscles? as well..im sure there are alot of better & healthier herbal meds to use for those cases. I hate when people use that as an excuse so they can smoke pot. Like wtf? lol. Also, yes!, im sure it expands your mind, and makes you think more (good or bad) clearly as well. My personal opinion, anything you abuse will eventually back fire in due time. Even if it’s smoking pot regularly. I’m not saying you should never smoke pot?, its cool if you’ve tried it or smoke-weed in moderation etc. But from personal experience, being dependant on that shit, just so you can get through the day or life I should say?, takes alot out of you. Many will never admit this because, they luv smokin tha chron for there own satisfying reasons but, let’s not kid ourselves even if your a big time superstar or have alot of money, and you let the mary j make you believe your more smarter, than all your really doing is lying too yourself so you could smoke that shit. It may make you think more, or help you keep an open mind for that matter, but the truth is every pot-head who’s smart, wise, or dumb, is only gonna come to the conclusion they’re going to stop eventually sooner or later..
I’ve smoked marijuana, i’ve smoked cigarettes (don’t any more) and i drink. All i can say is do any of these in moderation and you’ll be fine.
i smoke weed all day everday and i come to school high i figure get high scores and high grades lol because i am a starigh a student who smokes more than she eats
Everything said about the affect of the brain when smoking marijuana is true, but only to the manifest that it is all temporary. The intake of marijuana does affect the brain, but after the “feeling of euphoria” is over, the brain would eventually adapt back into its normally functioning.
We would never scientifically know its true effects until we can conduct a true experiment… Which would never happen until marijuana is legal, or is it?
i love smokein weed but it can lead to other drugs i know people that i smoked with and know are doing other dangerous drugs like extacy or meth SO STICK TO BUD AND STAY IN CONTROL…..
If weed didn’t exist all of your bros would most likly be alcoholics AND meth addicts. Sure weed might have purged them down that downward spiral. But if bud wasn’t on this planet we dumbass humans would conjure up something in a lab to take it’s place.
Personal opinion: I believe that in many cases weed delays teen drug use. Yeah sure some people start on weed but if we didn’t have it then there would be no less harmful recreational drug for teens to do. Teens don’t give a fuck if something is illegal, they just want to get loaded. We should spend more money on educated our youth on self control and less on trying to tell them not to do drugs, that’s already known if they have self control.
if this is so harmfull then why do people get prescribed this on the nhs ?
my point exacltly perfectly fine !
It doesn’t really matter if it’s more harmful than “some people” believe. It isn’t harmful enough to jail people who possess it. Welcome to a world of choices, and you have to tolerate the ones you don’t like that don’t even have an effect on your life.
I personally think when smoking weed the damage to your lungs come from the smoke itself.. I have been smoking weed for 6 years and recently stopped smoking as of 5 months ago. I stopped because while in the moment of smoking the weed the high was great, but the chemical embalance it causes is not worth it. I mean now a days its hard to come across good weed, so alot of us young people are smoking garbage, and its the garbage that makes the weed BAD!.. sure i would love to smoke some of what snoop dogg gets his hands on, but realistically that wont happen, so until then me and weed have parted our ways… i do miss tho the hightened senses it gave me, but i rather have my singing voice and my sanity…
I smoke weed every to every other day I am 24 years old and use to smoke every day for a long time. A lot of arguments here are posted by people under 21, high schoolers, and even middle schoolers. All of this age group will have a view point of this age group without a true perspective of life and the real world until much later on in life. I am sure anyone here older than me will have a different perception of this topic and understand even more than I do. Everyone also argues that marijuana is good for you and that there are a hundred things worse than it. I too also argued this when I was younger and without doing any research, I still believe there are worse things out there, but that is not the Point. Yes Heroin and fast food are worse than marijuana but that doesn’t mean that marijuana has no negative effects of any kind. I have looked into what marijuana does chemically in the brain (not effects on lungs or physical health but mental health AKA the explanation of what weed does to the dome piece) and came up with this: There are chemicals in the brain that are released and used to do necessary functions. Marijuana stops them from doing there job. These chemicals are monoamine neurotransmitters. The reason why everyone reacts differently on marijuana is because these chemicals differ from person to person and in different areas of the brain. Just like everyones personality and how they work is different. It can effect the following: psycho motor function, reward driven learning, arousal, processing of sensory input, memory, appetite, emotional stability, mood, vomiting, and sexual behavior.
Now these are strictly non bias facts I have DUG for. I really wanted to know the true effects of marijuana. I am not telling anyone to quit because i too agree there are worst things out there as far as “healthy” is concerned. But if you know that you are effected negatively by it and don’t like it or are not satisfied with who you are (like a dead end job and broken down car) then cutback or quit. I have decided to cut back to once a week and see my improvements in college. I am a straight A student but would like to see if I can do better.
I don’t know why I’m reading all this shit but The Kill is the realist to me. I love to smoke, but slowly figured out I’m not at my best when I do it all the time. When I was younger I thought the same thing as all those high schoolers. From my wisdom I would say smoke on certain occasion’s and celebrations. Thats what I’m trying to accomplish.
“typical form found on the streets is leaves, stems, and seeds that are all shredded up into flakes (think Oregano). This compound can then be put into a pipe…”
There’s your problem; you’re smokin leaves, stems, and seeds you dumb fuck!!
i was a smoker for 12 years but i quit now im 29 i dont feel as lazy…lol
i love weed everthing about it its perfect u smoke it and u start feeling good all around u start to think about important things and how to help yourself …when i’m high it brings out the best in me because i can see feel and act freely i’d say… i’ll take it easy someday but now its like my guardian angel…
Thanks for the info, recently today i was too baked and i couldn’t handle it i was so parinoid and i couldn’t stop panicing. my heart was racing and i was dripping with sweat. it felt like i was gonna die. im only 15 and i regreat everyithing i did, smoking weed and smoking cigerrets. i swear to go i leardned my lesson.
i used to smoke weed when i was 18 now m 24 .i quited smoking weed after smoking for 3 yrs continiously .now al of sudden i have starte smoking weed once again…iv been smoking for 2-3 days but i fear,i might turn my life into hell once again…………..but seriously i feel like im alive when im high with weed………………………..
to tell u the truth weed is going to be legal this up coming NOVEMBER so peaple go out and vote for the KUSH!
well have fun with that all of use who still want to smoke it, coz if you think it won’t do anything to your body then ok then, but have fun in jail.
Ok, number one, I like to think I’m a more educated human being. I got great grades through school and I am now enrolling into college. I’ve been smoking for some time now and it has not affected me adversely in any way. Mind you I do not smoke everyday. I also do it for no reason but because I find it enjoyable and relaxing. I am completely aware of marijuana as a “gateway” drug and I’m completely aware of the damaging effeects of the smoke, but I am yet to notice anything else. I can’t take either side but I’m going to continue smoking my weed and I’m going to live and enjoy my life without worries. Becaude who’s to say I don’t get hit by a truck tomorrow or struck by lightening. Thanks.
I have lived with two of my cousins, two normal people… one day one of them smoked it… about 2 hours and an overdose of 30 sleeping pills i was in hospital (christmas night). I was so, so scared. It still amazes me that people can do this. I am so lucky that she survived. I would hope people can learn from this.
Alot of theese comments are from highschool punk out pot heads who think they are cool because they burn some comercial bud. Truth in pot, it doesnt hurt you at all, there are no serious side effects, nothing more then we get from over the counter pills or hell walking outside into poluted air. Truth be told weed for me at least enhances my thinking, so when faced with a hard intellectial* trail ill smoke a joint, slowing down time and letting me think much more clearly, it also helps in Meditation and spiritual insight much like that of an LSD. Most pot heads which i call punks who think there cool because they smoke pot dont know anything about it and truely have probably never truely been high smoking the weak commercial pot dealers will grow because it has a large output. There are two different strands of pot–A Satiba and an Indica–Satiba makes you relax its the stoned feeling it normally slows you down helps with pain which is why all medical marijauna is of a Satiba strain, helps with head aches and troubles sleeping. The all around relaxing bud. While Indica normally speeds you up you think faster and move faster normally, this is a high, your trippy like you would be on an LSD, now there is differences in canninbus and pot, hash and baking your goods, none of them have actual health risks. This is not really for people with athsma tho as resin builds in your throat when smoking good bud and needs to swallowed or coughed up, not to say there is no pot out there for them you just need to be educated on what your limits are learn who you are as a person truely understand yourself then you can do anything you want. Im a 3rd level black belt in Wushu i train everyday and i smoke everyday. You also need to know who your getting it from because you can be buying waxed weed, many dealers now wax there weed in cocaine to make it addictive or meth to give you the high rush we get from some bud, both have serious side effects and can lead to mental instability. I suffered from being bipolar as a kid smoked a joint and all my troubles went away, ive been smoking ever sence and i fought alot as a kid boxed for years now im in Martial Arts and have been for several years. So them punk kids you see at school smoking weed throwing there llife away they are losers, there not cool, find an older guy my grandfather got me started and he was the best grower i knew, hard working man, Weed doesnt lead to harsher drugs, if you dont let it thats a personal choice, just because you smoke a joint doesnt mean you want to try something harder. Thats ignorance talking. Look up some bud, there a hundreds of banks out there, no joke learn living in ignorance you deserve to fail. And all think blunt talk, i grow a strain of Indica straight Indica its not a hybrid called Maple Leaf Indica, im going to be mixing that with some Silver Pearl, but its a two hit KO, I get up take two hits off a joint and im set all day. My offer i will give to everyone, if you can smoke one of my joints ill give you an Ounce for free. i dont deal with the dime bags and loser stuff like that. anyone who is out there saying there smoking blunts dont know nothing, commercial pot you aint been high yet, that commercial pot is grown because of its yeild Try some cannibus if your wanting to smoke The Earth gave it to us god let it grow, thoose skater devil worshiping school dropout losers let them smoke their grass and pretend to be cool, they are the ones that give smokers a bad name. Im athletic i work and bud hasnt hurt me in all the years ive been smoking, but like i said i healthy dont have asthma and i know where i get my bud from, The golden rule with anything is to much of anything is a bad thing, know your limits, no one has died from pot but they have gone a never ending trip and end up in a pysch ward, just dont be stupid, normally thoose are peole that think they are tokkers and hit some real bud, my first time with realy bud sucked, i was smoking what they called back it the day a dog knot, 8 papers long rolled a whole ounce in that, that was commercial weed, tried real bud and got so fucked up i almost qiute smoking. But a wise old man taught me the trick of the trade now i have that knowledge to pass on to you, take it or leave it.
First why are people so concerned with what other people are doing.. has anyone died from it? NO does it relax people YES! does it relive pain? YES! does it fuck up your memory and whatever else YES, but IT’S NONE OF UR BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!! so just drop it already, and most potheads(like myself) dont care what you guys say were still going to smoke as a matter of fact this whole Controversy about it makes me wanna burn a bowl!!!!!!!!!!
I know people at school say its just as effective as smoking or chewing but its not although keep on doing it and your life will be rined I hope half of the people who will and have already written comments read the information at the top. I’m fairly young and I don’t know a lot but I do know you shouldn’t be doing marijuana at all. I don’t want any negative comments on this review plz. dats all
Dude how old r u ……have you even tried who am I kidding you haven’t that’s why your sayin this try it then you’ll know y we do it ……so yeah smoke a joint and get over it bitch
i smoke and so does like all of the students at my high school it keeps us from getting in fights and if a fight does happened they are usually potheads that didn’t smoke a joint b 4 school started so I say smoke a blunt, joint, gram waterer the fuck you wanna do as long as it’s some of that good ass mota ……SWED hahahaha xD
P.S. that reminds ima go smoke right now haha
You guys want the TRUTH about marijuana. Before 1930, marijuana wasn’t looked upon as something bad or harmful. In fact, our own founding fathers grew and thought of marijuana as the key to the success to America. However, the wood companies thought the growing production of hemp-products (the Declaration of Independence is written on hemp paper). Oh, if you guys don’t know, marijuana and hemp are the same thing basically, it’s like ice and water, they’re pretty much both H2O, just in different forms. So the wood companies start an Anti-Drug campaign to get rid of Hemp to boost their sales. Also, politicians used the growing increase of immigrants, who commonly used Marijuana, as a front to start the phobia of marijuana. From there, politicians have increased the fear with propaganda (Kennedy said that one joint of marijuana was equal to brain damage as being hit by an atom-bomb, seriously???). Even today, if you look at commercials, it’s just “Above the influence, say no.” Do you see any hard-cold facts? No. Kids today are now growing up with anti-marijuana programs thrown in their face, like DARE, that they can’t find the real truth. Want to know the real threats out there, cigarettes and alcohol, who are actually the main supporters for the anti-marijuana programs. Learn the facts before you start saying marijuana is bad. And don’t be surprised when marijuana is legalized in your life-time, because the movement is really starting to shift in the pro-side of legalizing marijuana.
hahaha, kids are getting educated from idiots like this?! If the author of this article experianced these side effects, the cron must of been laced with dust. Or, let me guess? this is coming from someone who has never smoked weed. Write about topics you know.
F**k man,this makes me wanna stop but I love the feeling and good times that I have with friends when I’m high
hey guys need some advise. Im 12, and my friend has some weed and wants to share it with me. But my mom can tell if im high because she mokes weed. Ive never tried it, but i want to. help!!
I am presently doing a report for school on this topic and I am grateful for all the comments. I use to smoke and have chose to Quit!! I do not have no desire to start back whatsoever. Believe it or not I have experience just about everything that everyone has reported. I did experience the joy and happiness and I also experienced the paranoia. I experienced binging, the lack of motivation. I experienced the lack of fear to address anyone no matter who they were. I have a daughter that is now studying to be a surgeon who was (SAL) of her class and I smoke the whole nine months that I carried her. Nevertheless, My choice to Quit lies in the fact that I realized that smoking weed served only me. If my life is centered around me , myself and I then in all my choices I am held accountable. If you have other lives that are affected by your decisions then you need to consider your actions. Getting high is a selfish task. I learned as some writers said its based on where you are in your life. Some people really believe that they cannot cope with their surroundings unless their minds are altered. I guess I use to be there but not anymore. I found that I can achieve the same things in life and some without smoking. I don’t need to alter my mind to deal with life anymore I just alter my life so its liveable. Yes, Weed is manifested differently in people and circumstance, but the bottom line is where are you at? If it’s producing the overall effect of minus Quit! If you are late for work and risking losing your job over a random drug test, its not worth it. As long as it is illegal, why take the chance of some unforseen freak accident that would wreck your life by the law. How many lives will be altered if you get caught and go to jail? I am so free from that weed smoking mentality that even if they legalize it today, I still done with it. I am master of my ship and you should be master of yours. If you are not weak and dying you don’t need a Fog! Deuces!
Wow, so many comments/answers but I’m only responding to this one responder. Your comment was great, I was looking for an answer to my OWN feelings which I fond in your reply. At first, yes I am a smoker and what all I want to say is that, people who are replying in answers to other comments are the ones who really need to consider the choices you make.****CHOICE**** is the key in everything.
i have a severe hernia that causes a lot of pain that no prescribed drugs can fix- pot fixed that problem but in moderation
I am an 18 year old senior and have rolled a j everyday since 4-20 of my sophomore year. i am a 3 sport starting varsity athlete ( football, baseball, basketball) and have an accumalative gpa of 3.85. i am going to the Arizona State on a full ride baseball scholorship. i will not sit here and say weed isnt bad for you, but the pros outweigh the cons. i have smoked weed for 700+ days in a row and i got my shit together. it is all about the decisions you make, weed doesnt make you get a shitty job, your just an idiot who has to learn to have a work ethic.
just dont be dumb about when and were you do it. keep your shit together in fronna the parents and grow your own damn weed, youll be suprised at how much extra money you have laying around.
smoke weed
go to school
smoke weed
go to practice
smoke weed.
^ my life for the past 3 years and i am doing perfectly fine.
Damn Straight
y can we all just git along if you what to smoke weed then smoke weed but of you dont then dont smoke weed
Youre all so stupid hahahahhahAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH they dont know what it does to your body, get outta the house kids, theres 60 year olds thatve been tokin since before you were just sperm in a sack. If you fear it thats your own fear, BUT DO NOT ACCUSE THIS DRUG OF HARM its killed no one yet in the hundreds of years its been in circulation, but we cant say the same for alcohol or cigarettes thatve claimed thousands each year and are still claiming them right now. Youre all pathetic, its affects your receptors for a while, and prolonged use can affect the receptors because you build a tolerance, but unless you smoke a 10 bag a day EVERY DAY youll be perfectly fine if not better. YOu do know that where coco leaves are native theyre used as energy boosters, because they know how to use it. But when you introduce such a drug to the greedy gluttenous fat americans they cant help but kill themselves! The real problem is the people not the pot. Come fight me
I like weed
All of you need to get over yourselves! Are u a scientist..no!! Do you have a proven fact from a scientist that you’ve met..no! Anybody could’ve put shit on the internet and said some shit that might be true and some shit that’s not get over it! If you smoke that great as long as you love it and no1 is pressuring you then thats fantastic!! If you don’t like it then that’s great too! If you never seen it, touched it, smelled it, wouldn’t know what it was if it stared you in the face then don’t talk shit especially if you’ve never tried it!! That’s like judging somebody but its only a plant, you don’t like to be judge or talked about! Just shut the fuck up cuz all you non smoker don’t have room to talk! I personally love it! Its great, but I’m stopping not cuz its messing with my mind or anything just cuz I feel like its time for me to be clean. I’m not saying I won’t ever smoke again. I just wanna stop becuz I know I can.
I’m not tryna get any bad or good remarks on this comment I’m just speaking my mind just like all you.
Btw if you don’t like what a web site says about weed and how bad it is and how it effects you’re mind and body don’t look up stupid facts about weed on google or whatever you’re on! Its only gonna piss you off. iight well I’m out laters
-lil smurf02(:
smoking weed is a bad thing but it helps whenu have an exam an u smoke it before the exam it gives u bac the answers and it is jamaicanly proven :p
i have a question : how come when i dont smoke mary jane its very hard for me to fall asleep or stay asleep ? also i get lots of headaches next day
So I think this completely wrong, Weed is very helpful with people that have health problems for example… My mother was battling a very aggerssive pancreatic cancer last year my mother was unable to eat,sleep it got to the point were she could not walk.
The doctors prescribe medical Marijuana and it helped so much. My mother was able to eat so she could gain some weight back and she was sleeping better. sadly she passed away in may 6 2010.
I used to think that weed was harmless afterall just about all my friends smoked it. I did it a few times and really enjoyed it. I was laughing and being silly, it was fun but one day I smoked some and I had a severe panic attack. Everything around me felt warped, my perception of time completely changed, I felt num all over my body and thought I was going to die. What I’m trying to tell everyone is that weed effects everyone differently. It can be fun but it can also be very scary.
I be smoking not one blunt a day but 5 20 dollar blunts. I stay high not even satellites reach me hahaha
Yo, I just had a cone with some friends and i almost had a heart attack.
I think weed should be banned everywhere and im doing the best i can to stop weed and show my fans that smoking weed is for the LOSERS!
ok people…wow. weed is not bad for u.i am high right now, and CLEARLY i can still think.am i misspelling anything?? no. all this stuff about how it is ohh so harmful is bull shit.its not,it makes you feel good. However, smoking isnt for everyone, ppl have said this in some other comments ive read.If ur stupid and cant control yourself when your high, dont smoke it. I’d never try to make someone smoke with me either, if they want to cool, if not thats cool too.everyone has their own opinions about weed and making sterotypes about ppl who smoke is pretty rude.ecspecially bc most of the ppl who have made these assuptions havent experienced the high personally.how can u sit there and judge someone like that without actually knowing.all this stuff in this acticle isnt based on fact.its based on a judgement.maybe if u ppl would losen up a bit and hit a bowl every once in a while u wouldnt be so negative..ohh and im a straight A student incase you’d like to know.
I LOOOOVVVEE weed
I’m 17 and I have smoked and ate weed before, and I must say..it’s the shit. I used to be all against weed and would get annoyed of my friends talking to me about it, but after I tried it, I thought it was the best! I also have done research on it and no one has died from weed! You can’t even overdose of it either! I’m not saying it’s good for you, it is a drug, but it’s way safer than drinking Alcohol, and smoking Tabacco. I don’t know why they don’t legalize it. The government makes it seem like if it’s the worst drug ever! Cocaine and heroine and all those other drugs are bad and I’m not stupid enough to do that shit. I also still do good in school. It’s not even addicting and it doesnt stop me from reaching my goals. I just do it like 3 times a month for fun
Ok…really ppl?? im high right now. CLEARLY i can still think straight. i know what is going on around me. Am i misspelling anything?? NO. this article thing isnt true.its bull shit. smoking weed can make u forget things but only when ur high. I am a straight A student.and i actually had D’s and F’s before i started smoking.soo all of u that said smoking makes u stupid, explain that one. damn, lighten up. all of this negative stuff is based on sterotypes.stop judging before u even know anything. maybe if ud losen up and light up a bowl every once in a while u all wouldnt be so pessimistic! im happy
))
Yeah yeah weed can b harmful 2 da body. but so can salt ,sugar , n other shit u put n ur body. 2 all of yall who sayin weed is bad n it can harm u: put a condom n ur ear n Fuck wat u herd. Its natural. Its a choice
The “weed” is made from flowers that bloom from the female marijuana plant after the vegetative state. These are usually called “buds”
Nobody smokes the seeds and the stems!
Do some minor research and you will gather the correct info.
Josh-Canada
I have a couple questions cuz I practically smoke every day but once a day only
1) how long will it be in my system if I match a blunt every morning? So how long do I need to stop to be clean
2) is there anything that gets it out quicker cuz I heard cranberry juice works but idk
3) y is it not legal so I don’t have to worry about this
Think about this haters:
The CIA and department of homeland security issued a statement in January of 2010 that said the Mexican cartel they tracked (they didn’t say a name) made close to 7 billion last year. The united states is their main market but to be fair we will say that they made 6 billion off the united states. The two main exists of the cartels are cocaine and marijuana. Other drugs like meth, heroin, ect are also exported but weed is the main product followed by cocaine. Our gov always talks about destroying the cartels that are “killing our youth” if the united states legalized weed, grew it, and regulated it they would make at least the 6 bullion that the cartel made probably more. There are already cigarette companies with patents on the “weed cigarette”. This would create jobs and a huge flow of money to corporations and the gov (which is in massive debt) also who are the cartels gonna sell to if we don’t need their product anymore. They would be out of business in 3 years MAX. This would stop drug wars as well as lessen te danger of our border patrol personell. It would lower cigarette sales (not a fan and since it’s my comment what the heck). Seriously who is gonna buy cigarettes which are addictive when you can buy weed which isn’t.
I understand that this is incredibly biased as most comments and opinions are. However I recently heard a suggestion that we should be more like amsterdam. For anyone else that’s going to use that argument Amsterdam is a fraction of our size, has a different money system, language, economy, and government. We aren’t at all like them.
To overdose on weed you have to smoke your body weight. Let’s be reasonable nobody is going to do this even if you could. You would fall asleep if you get too high and if somehow you were still smoking you would die of smoke inhalation first.
There would need to be a ton of laws regarding safe use. But that’s why we have a government.
People are always going to get it but they might as well get it so that our economy benefits from it.
Josh knows whats up, lol, I live in B.C. and the only people i see that would intentionaly buy leaves ,stems and seeds grinded up ,are dumb.hahahaha
That ground up leaves, stems and seeds (known here in B.C. at least as SHAKE) can be processed and used to make pot butter, or it can be used in various types of baking and cooking. Although it is not as strong as our real B.C. Bud it still contains enough THC in it to satisfy the many people who can no longer smoke so they ingest it orally.
Personally I dont know why many of you are expressing your opinion. Weed is a personal choice and it is up to the users body to determine its effects. There is no use for people to explain what weed will do to your life. Everyone is in completely difference situations. Some users are coke heads, doctors, police officers, children, grandparents, millionaires and homeless….
Im going to be a big Hippocratic and tell you my two cents about weed
I went the first 20 years of my life thinking that weed is a horrible thing. I graduated university sat on the couch and lit a joint. Ever since I have smoked when I want. I have gone 3 months smoking once a day after work. And than all of a sudden I will go cold turkey for two weeks.
It all depends on my mood. If I am at home and want to get high than I do it. The key is to know when to stop. Just like everything in North American society we have a problem with excess. Excess leads to addiction….
I can eat a bigmack every day for a year
I can drink a cup of coffee every morning for a year
I can smoke cigarettes everyday for a year
and finally I can smoke a joint everyday for a year
THE ONLY ONE THAT I WOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING WITHDRAWAL IS WEED.
Iv tried it
well i smoke everyday it dont do anything be sides effect ur eye sight a bit and makes ur body numb and it releaves stress and makes you fell happy people that say “dont smoke pot it kills you” there lying some you never try it i just got done smoking a “joint” and had 10 “hits” and i fell fine
if u wanna somke then try it with people that u trust
WELL, PEOPLE I AM 16 YRS OLD I SMOKE CIG BUT MY FRIENDS SMOKE BUD AND THAT I AM A BIT SCARED IF I TAKE A DRAG WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME REAMBER I I ONLY SMOKE CIG NOT ANYTHING ELSE
If you take a “hit” or maybe a few “hits” of bud you will get high.
i remember the first time I smoked out I got completely stoned, mostly because I smoked a bowl of dank dank to myself, a few minutes later I was completely stoned which was a tad alarming at first which lead to paranoia, I let the people I was with know I was kinda freaking out.. They assured me all would be fine and so I relaxed and went along with the ride.
cigarettes kill people, bud on the other hand…
If your worried about smoke you can always invest in a vaporizer. =D
Best of luck to you on your way!
Psychologically speaking, I would like to know if marijuana has any effects our total personality. Which Freud defined as the id, the ego and the superego.
I would have loved to smoke a fat bowl and have a conversation with Sigmund.
So I’m the only one who feels like they function faster/better than most (even sober) people while high?
Every good entrepreneurial idea I’ve had, everytime I’ve dominated people in recreational activites, everytime I smoke/vaporize the damn herb my mind works far faster, more efficiently, and more precisely. It translates to my reaction time being much higher and motor functions being incredibly precise and fluent. Not to mention my focus is phenomenally greater, while high, I’m grasping how to enter different phsyical states at will…
Maybe you guys need to learn how to use Marijuana as a tool? You read all the time that it’s different than alcohol, so why do you act like it’s the same when you’re “high”? I don’t care what anybody says, any “stoner” will agree… Marijuana is what YOU make it, if you think it makes you a dumpy citizen then don’t smoke it you’re wasting weed and your time.
Amen to the tool of many of our ancestors, some of the greatest religions and ways of life have been a product of this substance. I feel bad for you haters, go educate yourselves. I’m high as a kite right now.
_________________________________
And if you’re smoking cigarettes, you really need to give your fucking head a shake. You buy smokes (4000 different chemicals, 50 are KNOWN carcinogens) which are not only addictive but after becoming addicted you get no mental or physical high or gain whatsoever, you are simply buying something that kills your body and mind, paying the Government to do so… also with medical bills (US), and you smoke way more than a “stoner” everyday of the week. Oh but they are just a stupid stoner right? I bet you binge drink with friends all the time too you damn ape.
There is a reason stoners smile all the time, and it’s not ’cause they are dumb, it allows them to rise above the shit around you and them and see that life is still pretty awesome despite. Instead of numbing it with mental distractions like cigarettes, alcohol, and the opposite sex. In this line of thinking, I become disgusted with the human race. The youth for participating in it, and the elders for allowing to continue to happen. Idiocy.
check out my post. saw urs after i posted. totally right man. it’s whatever u make it. i have a little fear of heights but when i first started roofing, for my first roof i was high as a kite but i felt so happy that i didnt care about my fear and just worked hard with no bothers.
Also on the topic of legalization.
A lot can be said on this topic. The initial question still remains, “But why is it illegal?”
*** The following is my opinion, I see it as logical, rational, and sheered.
People have said the Government won’t legalize it for a various number of reason. Things ranging from negative effects to growth and supply issues. Many of these claims have been disputed and argued. It doesn’t matter. What is the one thing that represents attainable/controllable power? Money. Almost everyone can succesfully grow a pot plant with a poor yield and THC level in their basement. Then, they can quite easily get high off of their crop and simply keep replanting, sustaining their own personal stash of “highness” even. That is a problem for the Government, there is no money to be made…
So, what’s the one thing you could do to make money off of something so heavily used? Well it’s a bit shady, but they do it all the time and no one notices. Simply make the drug illegal, grow it in a country where law won’t touch it, and then import it into the country through the right people and transportation. You control the supply, and benefit from the demand. Don’t think the good ol’ Govt. would do such a thing?
Well then consider this, Afghanistan (Recently invaded by the US) controls of 90% of the worlds opium – among other valuable resources, like lithium – and has armed guards to protect the fields. Why protect something that should be destroyed? Opium is used to make a prevalent and highly addictive substance in the western countries. Heroin. So if you own 90% of the worlds source of it, and are looking to get your country out of the financial gutter while filling your fat wallet, are you gonna just burn it? Didn’t think so. You’ll probably resell it in your own country and make millions, even billions of dollars in the process. So a few lives get wrecked, big deal. If they are doing it they are dumb anyway. Falling into the distraction, if it wasn’t Heroin it would be alcohol or sex.
They don’t care about you, not personally. They just want to make sure the majority of the population doesn’t become retarded or killed. Why target the US or the western countries in a rant like this? Because they are the country(ies) that is poisoning their people for a small minority of people to become wealthier and better off. The funny thing is they are now becoming inferior to some of the eastern countries. Why? Like everything, it’s arguable. Probably because they aren’t controlled by a military-industry complex like the US, President Eisenhower warned you fools you just didn’t listen.
You may find all of that difficult to read, but you probably should if you aren’t considered “worldly”.
You may find what I said to be a “conspiracy” or that it portrays me as crazy, but you probably just failed to understand what I was saying, unfortunately.
You may agree with what I said, and if you did good. You can start helping. In the very least, do yourself a favour and promote a healthy, optimistic, and rational understanding of this life and world. It will at least prepare you for the disasters completely possible because of this reality. If you want to try to promote this way of life, simply spread knowledge and aid to peers. Do no treat them as dumb, treat them as ignorant. Love, kindness and kinship will step bounds over simplistic and selfish nature.
A pack of 5 wolves can take down multiple Caribou, they just have to plan their actions and time and work together as an organism that has 5 mouths of action, 24 legs of swiftness, 5 tails of balance, 5 minds of will, and 5 hearts of life.
Had to hit another bucket for this clarity folks. That will and should scare some of you.
Look weed is a plant God put it on earth and gave man the knowledge on how to use it, so why disregard that and try to tell everyone its bad for you, the only reason its illegal is because the government cant make money off of it, so they’re the real problem not weed, so im going to go smoke a couple bowls while you think of a way to prove me wrong IM PROUD TO BE A STONER-Kottonmouth Kings
WEED isn’t for everybody. Thats all.
But it is for me =)
foreal ^^^^ weed is a plant god put all plants here for me to use and for you too!
Marijuana DOES NOT kill brain cells, at all. It simply disrupts the production and output of dopamine, only while under the influence. The flow of dopamine is restored when the effects fade. No other plants effects have so grossly been misrepresented and falsified.100% of the common things heard about the effects, good and bad, are false.
So can someone tell me does THC wear off or does it stay inside you? Im 15. Just wanta know.
wear’s off brah
I would personally never in my life smoke weed or any alcohol or drug but it’s ur lives and the government shoudnt interfere with it. Just don’t stupid and retarded and end up being so high u kill someone or yourself. And the idiot who said I got more brain cells u can’t grow or grow back brain cells. And if weed did anything to your brain it would either stimulize it or kill the brain cells
there is so much shit written by people on this page, weed is great and it has made my life better, if your high then listen to the white stripes.
I smoke weed every other day & i am perfectly fine. I am a straight A & B student & it dont make me stupid. It calms you down & makes you feel like your walkinq on clouds. I recommend it to anyone.
bahahah woooooow,thats all i have to say.these people should be put on a comedy show!foreal do you here yourselves???you sound so retarted.im not hating on weed or nothing cuz all my friends smoke it,but if your all for it and never going to stop then why would you even look it up?just wooooooow!!!!!
Well I have much to say. Firstly, cannabis should not be overdone, please take in moderation. If taken like so, it relaxes the brain well. If this is done too much, the left brain, which is turned off during the relaxation, will become lazy, as well as the person himself. Also, the amount of food eaten by the smoker also affects how many brain cells are killed in the process, because of the blood going away from the brain, which is a natural cause. I’m also addressing that I agree the high is affected by the location and environment, but it is not caused by THC. Natural physiological responses may be intensified by it. thus creating another high. And by the way, you suckers wouldn’t have guessed this, but I’m a pothead brrrrrrrBRRRRRRR
^ So in summary; pack a bowl, keep control. I like marijuana, it’s just a great thing in my life at the moment. No big deal. Just don’t smoke every single day and try to keep a low tolerance so you don’t go broke
Focus on important things like family and school, and try to have as much fun as possible as often as possible. I recently became an atheist and its pretty much cleared up everything, life is good.
I’m so fucking ripped hahaha thank goodness for the spellcheck on my phone you guys hahahaha just telling everyone my life story no problem! Too many goddann commas in this.
i am 11 years old and i tried smoking paper and that made me cough my socks off so i now weed would have me crying so never try weed or anything else may GOD BE WITH YOU AND WHAT YOU DECIDE WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my head is hurting bad and i feel so paranoid like something bad is gonna happen to me is this normal i stopped smoking for like a week already and this is barely happening
Hi i’m 17 and i have 2 year experience in smoking pot and .. To be honest weed hasn’t changed my life.. in fact in some ways it made it better… but i however dont recommend it to anyone because like its said it has different effects and some people just dont feel good consuming it besides it does have bad effects on your body THOUGH i Highly recommend Smoking Weed instead of Cigarettes..So really i’ve had 2 times that i (over smoked) so .. what happened is that i couldn’t see.. i couldn’t hear..for 5 mins max.. So if such a thing Does happen just grab a chocolate or any sugary product you can find and the bad effects wear off almost instantly
i’ve taken it twice and the feeling is something i can’t express in words…! i don’t encourage ppl to do it .. its simply their choice…. bt to be sure of one thing…. WEED is natural so it doesn’t affect u as a CHEMICAL drug would .! .. Chemical drugs have other stuff in them too which make them more addictive….whereas WEED is GOD .! :p
btw, my second trip was on the TITANIC ..! OMG .! i can’t explain .. how it was ..! its like i was a passenger on it .! phew .! … it was amazing .! (the 1997 movie)
I used to smoke up to 2 oz a week and it does numb all your senses if you are a frequent user, once i stopped for good 6 months later i left my wife as we realised how unhappy we really were…..so there is a lesson in there somewhere!!!
Marijuana is not for everyone just like alcohol or coffee isn’t for everyone. My mom drinks 3 cups of coffee a day to keep her going, but coffee makes me anxious and makes my mind race. My dad likes to have a couple glasses of wine with lunch to take the edge off, but alcohol makes me uncoordinated. I like to smoke about 3 times a day and it keeps me motivated to stay on task, while enjoying the work I’ m doing. In fact, it makes me enjoy everything I do while high. As for being lazy, I am not whatsoever. I hustle as a roofer every day and I lift a lot of heavy shit. I’m in great shape and I smoke a lot of weed. What was once recreational has now become habitual, but it mostly used as a pain reliever for my back that was injured in a car accident several years ago. I used to take advil for my back on a daily basis about 3 to 4 pills twice a day. That ruined my liver. Now I vaporize marijuana. Little health risks. I have a portable one to take with me wherever I go. People also say weed makes you dumb and forgetful. I find that strange because for some reason I can still remember times in my life from when I was 3 years old and can recall my life by what teachers I had in what grades. My memory is impeccable. Short term if I am really stoned I will forget some things but after I come down I will remember everything. My coordination is increased. I can race motocross at higher rates of speed with my body more relaxed and I can do more laps with a higher sense of concentration. The only negative effect is cotton mouth, but at least you don’t smell like cigarettes. Nicotine is an evil drug. I can’t stand when people say marijuana is bad because of what it did to someone they know. Drugs effect everyone differently. Marijuana is a natural herbal remedy to many people’s problems. It won’t destroy your life unless you let it, but that is true with anything. People have to be strong willed to overcome life’s obstacles. If there’s one drug that holds the majority of people’s lives back, it’s nicotine. THE END
herb is more important to the people who accept it because that is reality …HERB IS A PLANT ..herbs are good for everthing
smoking pot does NOT make you cool! and stop getting mad at those who are telling you pothheads to do right!! #jus sayin !
please stop saying nonsense, marijuana is not a drug, but the best thing that exists on earth. We can make fuel, textiles, medicines, and replace the use of oil.
E ‘illegal because of some dickhead (the great American entrepreneurs from the 30′s) have made sure that people saw the marijuana as an evil thing.
People malviagie them, which have deprived the world of the most important resource we have: hemp.
All this just to earn easy money and pollute the planet.
Tobacco kills, alcohol kills, kill the real drugs (heroin and cocaine), not the marijuana.
Open your eyes, Legalize it!
A BIG JOINT EVERY DAY, KEEPS MY DOCTOR AWAY
smokin pot is not all that good as people say it messes with yur mind family and everything some poeple only do it bescase they like to say they are stoners like bob marley and they wanna fit in with the drugies as they say no its stupid and hard to stop once you have started. it kills your brain cells and jest makes you a loser so stop trying to be cool and if you havent smokd dont start cuz your dumb.
Legalizing weed will save the economy, I’m not to say its good for you, but its no worse than a cigarette and safer than alcohol. Which both are legal, if the drug (plant) were legally regulated there would be no danger. It would help with crime rates, and save people from overdosing on a dumb ass drug such as spice for a legal, similar high. Marijuana is 100% safe, there has never been a death due to it. It doesn’t have to be processed or have chemicals added into it, just pick it, dry it, smoke it. The most annoying thing about this argument is that 90% who appose the legalization have no idea what it does and only hears what the media wants you to think.
ha ok so i read this. and i am def not quiting! haha i am one of those people where it does more good then bad!
interesting & very informative article, the comments were funny as f**k tho lol Im PRO WEED, I love it. takes my mind off shit, even if only 4 a lil bit. I can fully function. yes I may drag a bit but a tired drug free athlete drags. I remember more when im high than sober, everything makes more sense to me. Weed isn’t for everybody…
I find smoking a good size joint, and having a hot cup of coffee in the morning to be quite pleasurable. Good way to start a day.
i do not smoke weed b.c i am in nursing school, but debbie seems to me like you need some weed to chill you out. do you not have better things to do than sit on here and talk about ppl. like you posted something negative about everyone every five min. hell leave them alone if they wanna smoke a joint that is their business!!!!!
i HATE this debie chick soooo much. i respect ppl’s opinions…but she’s just over stepping it. such a very negative person. live life. love life <3 some people can handle weed, without affecting their life, some people can't. it's not the weed that ruins or improves your life, its yourself. and there is n-o-t-h-i-n-g wrong with having a hit sometimes. It makes you less stressed and you have a crack (as long as you don't have to much a greene out ). and i'd appreciate it if no one checks my grammer, i know i'vem ade mistakes, i really just don't care
xx
This is the most pragmatic perspective anyone will read.We don’t need to get into rhetorical debates about its productiveness,and disadvantages,nor who is the smartest.All u cats sound intelligent but who cares when the topic is weed.My iq is only 187 and I was a f**k up for my entire juvenile life,thanks to the effects weed had on me as a youth.After years of not smoking(after smoking everyday the ages of 13-15 in the 80′s),I began smoking again three years ago HEAVY smoking too.I handle the effects like an adult now,free of stress and no peers to pressure your adolescent minds.My Lawyer cousin indulges,my accountant sister indulges,etc,etc.We determine who we are,oh and I still run over 3 miles every other day I used to run 5 a day and the WEED is not what stopped me.Children should not do none of that shit if u asked me as an ex child weed head.Now an adult one.lol.Chill out and roll up.
Real talk Malik, i like wat u say up in here… i personally think weed has different effects to diff people, i used to smoke weed everyday but now it mostly over the weekends n am 24. It does not affect any of my activities or my days program as a matter of fact it makes me punctual in my duties nd i wz crowned the employee of the month in May. I alwayz say its all in the mind…. ur thots determine the outcome of every situation, alwayz think straight nd be positive. Blessed.
If you are a stupid person and smoke weed, you will still be a stupid person afterwards. Weed does not change who you are, it gives you a new angle to look at the world and IMO, it allows you to open your mind and be more open to different perspectives.
stop smoking potheads, i never smoked a day in my life but my friends smoke i try to make them quit but they wont and its bad for you if it wasn’t why is it illegal huh alcohol is bad but not as bad as weed only if you over use it like people do so stop potheads.
WOW!! look up your facts ms. Sally Mcquire! I just recently had to go through drug and alcohol classes because i got busted for possession. They repeatedly informed us that alcohol is much worse for you than marijuana, keep in mind that these people that told me this have gone to college and studied drugs and are considered “professionals” in this subject.
Alcohol kills a lot more people than marijuana, they have yet to find a single person that has been killed by marijuana alone. And your little “its bad for you if it wasn’t why is it Illegal” idea is completely false. the reason that it is illegal is because of lies that were brought to the floor of the senate, and to trick our “lawmakers” they used yellow journalism. At this point of the controversy of marijuana there was a major racism problem with the Japanese. They showed pictures of Japanese people smoking marijuana and then showed pictures of them beating there wives, combining marijuana with violence. They also tried to combine marijuana with communism another major no no in America.
But I know what your thinking, “who would have gone out of there way to do this?” It was the lumber and oil companies because hemp (the male version of the plant) was showing a threat to replace them because of its vast amount of uses and cheapness to grow. So next time you decide to spit out what the school system has taught you, maybe you should look up the fact instead of blindly preaching what you were blindly taught. PS. I smoke weed every day =D
Hell yeah Todd. Sally McSquire, who do you think you are Ms Expert. Give me 1 way besides it being illegal can affect your body in a negative way… exactly. So dont go around smacking people with the bible and calling people potheads if you have no idea what it feels like. Do a little bit more research instead of just listening to what every Bible humping goodie good tells you. You’d Be Suprised
Well, i got about 10 blunts to smoke, have fun being hellllllllla low
He lied , uhm I’ve been smoking weed since I was 15 . Now I’m 19, okay 4 years different is much of a difference. But anyways I’m not lazy at all. I’ve been working since 15 graduated & I’m going to college now. so WEED IS NOT BAD.
I smoke every day none this happens infact my intelligence increase I am running back and I am excellent when I’m high I can c I never get below a B on a test when im high guess it’s different for me I’m just simply amazing my penis is even bigger I though I dreaming as well as my gf it was actually 2″ bigger hmmm weeds amazing
Yo nick, how about you chill the f**k out and get off your high horse, haha your having a power trip on an archive that is on the internet. Chill the f**k out, the only bad thing about weed I find is that if you smoke it to much you begin to feel less happy over time, for example I smoked everyday all the time for a year or two and I’ve quit because it is just getting to be a waste of time. Don’t get me wrong I love smoking but its just not that important anymore.
Everyone’s so worried about the marijuana, but it’s time to worry about something else. Lighters are extremely toxic. We breathe in decent quantities of butane and lighter fluid when we smoke. I’ve switched to hemp wick, and I also own a vaporizer, but I’m still using a lighter when there’s no alternatives around and it makes me groggy, gives me headaches, and who knows what long term effects it will have on me
I’m not so worried about the marijuana. It was put here on Earth like all other plants and is completely natural. All you need is soil water and sunlight just like any other plant. It’s the butane I want to eliminate..
Yeah butane is terrible for your lungs but I think that’s only if hasn’t been burned yet. I’d like to see a real study done on that subject. I mean just think of all the people who use the little butane camping stoves. It must not be harmful once it’s burned because just think of all the people that would be hawkin’ up blood by now.
well, i showed my gf this and she still wont quit smokin weed. what da f*** am i supposed to do to get her to quit??????
She should break up with you for being such an a**hole, if she wants to smoke weed it’s her deal, not yours, besides, pot is awesome.
i belive the world would be better if everyone could escape life for literally an hour at the most an enjoy a blunt.i dont do an ther drugs.the health risks arent worth it, im too beautiful of a person inside an out and so are ALL of gods children i mean its a reason why its the only drug that actually GROWS….?it was put on this earth for a reason just sayin..
i didnt smoke this but it when i smell the scent ,i feel dizy and i’ve been feelin dizy for 2 days.this is hilarious
Enough with all these no fact based posts about marijuana damaging your brain cells. That’s alcohol, not marijuana. Now for a real fact; scientifically proven. Marijuana helps promote brain cell development.
I would like to know to all the pot smokers who have commented on this post. How are your grades in high school, do u care about school, do you want to go to college and if your in college how r u doing?
i finished highschool with awesome grades.. finished college and university as well.. I’m now lawyer 92 in my city and I still smoke every day! always have since 15yo
I think I have an interesting position regarding the use of marijuana. I’ve never smoked marijuana, nor do I ever intend to, however I don’t think it’s the devil. And for those of you who use the “God put it here” justification, Nightshade is also a plant; consume that and see what happens (For those of you who don’t know what Nightshade is, it’s highly poisonous). However even Nightshade had good qualities. It became the first anesthesia. Everything has it’s good and bad. People consume chocolate and caffeine on a regular basis, but how many of you know that both are addictive and also cause a similar “happy” feeling once consumed?
Recently I met and married the love of my life. However, in the beginning, I discovered he was a heavy user of marijuana. We had been together 14 months without a single fight, until I discovered his use of it, and for nearly a year it was almost a constant battle. We were on the verge of separating. I was pregnant at the time and we came to a truce. He was not to smoke it at all. Period. Considering the drug wars and the violence associated with it, and also that one could be jailed for possession, we came to terms that it could harm not only our relationship, but his relationship with his son. I actually agree that weed should be legalized. Not so I can smoke it, or so that my husband can, but because other countries are benefiting from the sales, while our own citizens are being murdered and our country is wasting billions jailing those in possession of marijuana, rather than the molesters, murderers and the true criminals. However, I would expect that proper regulations be made. I’d like to go to Applebee’s and not have to smell the person next to me lighting up. Everything has a side effect on your body. Whether good or bad, if it wasn’t there before, it’s a side effect. Tobacco itself is a plant, that for years, was used to help relieve stress and used in friendship rituals. Once it was industrialized, it became cancer on a stick.
The world we live in now is wicked. What should be a loving society that looks out for each other has turned into a backstabbing battlefield, fighting for a piece of paper (technically cotton) that holds no true value.
Although I do not smoke weed anymore, glory be to God, I have been drug free for a few years. I just have to say that I agree with Malik. The beginning of this thread has comments pertaining to the sum of ones’ intelligence compared to the previously made comments. I am not going to sit here and sound super intelligent, when I can be myself and talk about the subject at hand(hint, hint:)) Yes, I think the subject is Maryjane not grammar or anything pertaining to grammar. I am NOT UN welcoming off subject topics, but I am suggesting people not to get overwhelmingly defensive and agree also with B and Dave. I know one should strive or grammar but, it is not necessary as I have made lots of mistakes and am fine with other peoples ill use of grammar as well HA
Oh debbie, no wonder why there is a saying “don’t be a debbie downer” cause everything that b**** said was NEGATIVE. Most other topic were completely off the topic, the box says “Leave a Comment”. I’m sure it’s talking about this article, not for everyone else to argue about dumb sh**. I just woke up from being high last night. To be honest, I never slept better.
As for all the comments about not having ambitions in life, well see this is where your wrong. I have a full scholarship to one of the best universities and got accepted into many others. I just graduated, smoked weed everyday before class, and I feel f****** fine
I support all you smokers, the occasional and the daily. Dream on~
Carl Sagan smoked every day! If you do not know who Carl Sagan is…
LOOK IT UP!!!
excuse me richard but you are wrong, this comes straight from a doctor. – “One of the most common claims about marijuana is that it can kill brain cells, damage brain function, and causes learning and memory impairment.” Weed, along with alcohol and cigarettes are the worst things this world has to offer.
Wow a lot in the article is true but all of us marijuana smokers have to agree it is not easy to quit that bud I personally call it my darling I at times stop smoking it for like a month but during that time when am not high life aint easy for me yes so i go to my connect and puff away I really want t quit tho.
hello to evrebody who knows what meens to smoke weed… i seems get to that level when u realize that u are adicted to it.. have problem with food hard to eat when not smoking food tasts terrible .. thas enyone knows any tips how to keep up your health and smokin green… those who knows weed knows that that is life style and Marijuana actually does more good than harm to some people its fact not bad or gud…
best wishes to all of u….
HAHAHA for one, Marijuana is not a mixture of the leaves and stems. It is the BUD of the plant in which you have to grind up. Leaves aren’t smoked. Plus there is no such thing as too high rather than too drunk, where you get poisoned by it. If you smoke to much you just pass out and wake up, drink to much, and you get your stomach pumped or death. Also did you notice in the whole article the author said nothing about it causing any form of cancer or disease, whereas cigarettes are a leading cause of lung cancer… all i have to say is weed is a substance that cures nausea, can be used to aid someone WITH cancer already (probably from smoking cigarettes) during chemotherapy. Oh and why wouldnt you do something that is associated with joy, happiness, and laughter. You know what they say, the more you laugh the longer you live.
PS: Dont call it a drug, its not a drug its a plant, it has leaves and roots and seeds and grows in the ground. If marijuana is a drug so is every other plant in the world.. and dont say shit that heroin is made from opium poppys because you have to do shit to it to make it into a drug. Mary Jane is the pure plant and nothing else.
Ummmmm, most of the post here are useless. I had a 3.0611 gpa in hi
