Drugs are bad.

I have a bad enough memory as it is...

Quote from BoxBox

Marijuana is a gateway drug exactly because the way you think. Well no offense, but just bear with me for a second on this one before pushing the report button. Now, so let's say you don't think weed is bad and you don't think it's harmful. You may even think it's no worse than beer. HOWEVER, this is what lead you to other drugs. The underestimation of the effect of weed will lead you down to other hardcore drugs. So do not do drugs!

You cant exactly underestimate weed, it really is essentially harmless. But understanding the risks of the drugs you use and knowing how to use them responsibly is key, though its still best to stay away from trying anything really addictive.

By the way, weed really is a LOT less harmful than beer.

REALLY.......I sincerely hope you do not believe that. Even more so, I hope you aren't telling kids that....because that is not correct.

this is not about cannibalism...please get back on topic

Quote from Toto

I think it is exactly the topic. I see nothing wrong.

And that shows how marijuana is less safe than alcohol how exactly? Well at least it wasnt a link to above the influence. But really nothing there showed that marijuana was really all that dangerous, sure there are health effects, but they are all really rather minor and plenty of the things listed there are not true, like it reducing your immune response, thats actually from an outdated study that turned out to be wrong.

And here is a link with some nice evidence and sources as to why marijuana is less harmful than alcohol.

I smoke weed occasionally. It's like zero % addictive imo. If I don't feel like buying it, I don't. There no withdrawl at all. I used to smoke heavily, but my weed men dried up and disappeared and i've only been smoking like maybe once a month or twice a month now.

I can't speak for other stuff, but weed is super safe. You don't overdose, you don't get addicted, it doesn't destroy your body/life like crack or something and you don't lose your self-control like alcohol. It's like the perfect product.

I don't think it's a gateway drug. I know TONS of people who are responsible adults that have been smoking since high school and never tried any other drug and have no plans on it. If you have self-control, it's a gateway to nothing. No more of a gateway than cigarettes and alcohol.

overall i think weed is a pretty light drug (mabey even less than alcohol) however for some people it changes there personality and ruins them. So i say as long as you can handle it and dont go overbourd smoking a little here and there is fine and despite what some people say weed is not that bad for you but if your going to smoke know that it DOES mess with your lungs and can ruin your endurence if you smoke to often.

No he is correct. Two shots of liquor have a much more profound effect on the body than two puffs of weed.

Plus, An overdose on liquor has a much more terrible effect than an overdose on weed. AND its alot harder to OD on weed than on liquor.

Its actually impossible to overdose on weed.

i saw a guy try to od on weed... it was pretty dam funny but impossible. you would have to smoke an insane amount of weed to od on it and you will ether get hungry or fall asleep way before you even get close to ODing.

note:the guy was already really stoned when he came up with this plan 😀

That's not true. You don't die from it but you can have a pretty bad circulatory collapse. That's actually not even rare and happens especially when you 'eat' it (cookies, yogurt, ect) because the dose in those is often way too much.

But it doesn't kill you so while you can take a dose that is too big for you to handle it still won't kill you. When you overdose on the majority of drugs you die.

personally ive only tried weed and hash.. never got to like them.. but occasional weed with a couple of drinks i wont mind.. though i havent smoken it for like 8 month..
and i know my brother tried coccaine but didnt get addicted and didnt continue with it.. so it really depends on the person whether u will 100% get addicted or no..

All is Hitsuzen...

I steer well clear of drugs.

I don't want to start smoking or start any kind of addiction. I'm bad when it comes to addictions of any kind. I'd destroy myself.

Quote from Terpsichore

in my case, enormous memory damage

It's difficult, to explain to people why you can hardly remember any of your childhood, or why you can't remember people's names or faces. I mean, I seriously can't recall but maybe one or two memories from high school.

But for me, it's not only memory damage, but brain damage in general as well. I still find myself shaking uncontrollably from time to time, and a week doesn't pass without my brain blanking out completely.

Exactly. Hard to explain why you don't remember things or people anymore, and why you just start shaking for no reason...

The only drugs I ever take a perscription and even those, I wait until I'm completely miserable and everyone is telling me to take them before I will.
