Poll: Have you ever tried Marijuana

[_-_-SELAS-_-_]

Wheres the "No I havent but I wouldnt mind trying" option?

However I havent had any offered directly at least not while I felt I didnt have other stuff to8 do (school going home to parents etc.)

I wouldnt mind trying tho

 

[CptStern]

Yea tried it, tried it lined with coke too. Not particularly fun, won't be doing none of that anytime soon again.

what's wrong with you? that's like a first time drinker drinking a full bottle of moonshine.

never try a joint that's been laced if you havent smoked before ..I take it you hadnt tried coke before either? moderation, man! one at a time :E

 

[Kristafon]

As far as im concerened weed makes you feel different, not any better. Its not something I want to do now.

 

[Kristafon]

Total waste of time as far as I'm concerned. Thats not to say its not kind of fun, but who the hell has 7 hours to waste on getting high?

And you should NEVER do shrooms btw, a friend of a friend commited suicide on them last year. He wasn't depressed or anything, he just had a bad trip.

Shit. When im ill im very prone to getting seriously bad hallucinations and dellusions. And from what ive heard they are a lot like a bad trip. Last time i had one of these i had a fever, i almost cut my hand up with a knife, but my parents calmed me down. I wasnt trying to kill myself but when these thing happen to me i will do anything to get out of it, including following this voice i was hearing me telling me to take a knife to my skin. :rolling: . When it happens I get a massive feeling of despair, i can understand how he ended up killing himself if what he went through was any worse than what i have been through.

I had tried it before, I was also drunk at the time and didn't know it was laced with coke til after lol

ya shrooms are a tricky thing, yes you shouldn't use em if you have any mental illnesses. but even so, if you dont you still should make sure ur in a controled area. you have to make sure you have plenty of fun things to do, and be w/ people you 100% sure you like. you have to be in a happy mood and stay in one. see what happens when your in a bad trip is a thing called a loop, you keep basically doin the same shit over and over and are stuck in a cycle, so in a way you make yourself go crazy.

i had a very bad trip 1 time i was on shrooms, i thought my friend was gay and was trying to hit on me and shit. the problem w/ shrooms is you dont really hear things right, and see things right. i thought he was crying n shit, basically long story short he ended up calling his parents at 1 in the morning to come pick him up b/c his bro couldn't cuz he was drunk as ****. i ended up kicking him outta my house b/c all i was getting was bad vibes from him.

kinda luckily a friend of my nextdoor was havin a party so he ran to his house screamin his name out n shit, and after that i just shut and locked the door and ran downstairs. then i layed in my bed thinking maybe he stabbed me or something, and that i was dieing.... i thought if i slept i would die, so i waited till my dad got home to see if i was dieing or tripping or not. i swore i heard sirens and people whispering as if i was being rushed in a emergency room or something, but blacked out.

.

what... a... night...

 

[UmbrellaMaster]

Never tried it. Have smelled it and seen it quite often as I go to a lot of concerts and such, but never burned one down myself. I figure I'm mellow enough as it is.

Why people resort to it? Same reasons people resort to alcohol, cigs, and such I reckon. I dont really know all of the reasons as I don't use any of the above so... *shrug*

 

[Ikerous]

Weed is awesome .

 

[Fender357]

I did it for a wile when I was 16 or 15...don't remember... .

But it was more of a "I'm depressed I don't care what I do" kind of thing.
Really stupid.

Don't smoke pot....you'd get a better feeling and high just from doing deep breathing exercises.

My one friend has smoked it for a long time and for a couple years he was a seller. He still has that, " If I don't do it for a week I'm not addicted" mentality. Even though he's smoked it for a few years straight. Then quit for 6 months...then went right back to it agian a couple times a day.



[edit] There was much much worse for me to have done around where I live though. The big thing right now with the dumbasses and gangs is speed. My one neighbor had been doing it for a wile before he finaly got arrested for trying to fight random people in the park wile he was naked. And he's a really big, older, hispanic, partialy retarded guy. [/edit]

 

[Ennui]

I do it on occasion - also planning on doing shrooms at some point. I'm pretty protective of my brain cells and chemistry, so I read up on shrooms and weed for a year or so before I actually tried them.

It's impossible to explain it to someone who has never done them before. I only do it once or twice a month, maybe up to 4 times, maybe not at all. I do it mainly because it gives me a different perspective on things while I'm on it (I'm pretty chill while stoned) and because, well, it's fun.

I do it in extreme moderation and only with friends. It's fun and harmless that way, in some ways even beneficial.

I am not a pothead. If you have a strong will (you can resist the urge to do it often) and you want an interesting experience, I'd say do it.

Smoking it every day is stupid; you lose the value of your perspective, it becomes not nearly as fun, and you turn into a dumbass because once you smoke it it pretty much makes you kind of dumb for a day.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I'm normally the friend on standby if anyone goes wrong.

I wouldn't consider smoking it, but I've not yet stopped a friend from smoking it, at least to the point of physically stopping them. I've done everything else, and really thy have mostly grown out of it. One of them hasn't and its a shame because he is gonna get kicked out of college by christmas if he doesn't get his act together. Another friend

That stuff messes you up, even if you take it in "moderation"(Its really a misconception that anything other than eating the plant can be moderate. Its just too concentrated when you smoke it in such a manner). It was much weaker back in the 60's when my parents were doing it, and they know it. But they still talk about some of the bad experiences they had. They don't preach to me about it. They wouldn't want me to do it, but they know I wont and we only talk about it in a "I remember one time..." sort of way.
My uncle told me about a time he put a strong UV light on his plant, and it killed it. It is of course UV light that stimulates the active ingredient and so this plant was strong when he got to it. My aunt was saying that she had some, and hated it more than anything because the feeling wouldn't stop and it was just too strong. At one point she was going to open the window for some air, but she didn't because she would have just jumped out without thinking.



I do however admit it smells nice But so do lots of things...I'm not gonna smoke chicken though.

Interestingly someone asked me if a smoke a lot of pot because she thought I was a particually chilled out and calm person.

So you don't need it to me calm. You just need a little common sense, and not worry about anything.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Smoking anything isn't good for you, and maybe he does seem to have a good life but I would imagine considering the side effects of the drug, his life would have been richer without it. Its particually well documented what the drug does to you. Look up the information the WHO has on it.

I know lots of people who ahve had bad experiences. Its not about how "clean" it was or how much they had, I suspect its just that your dad is the exception to prove the rule.

I'm not suggesting you think this, but just because you haven't had the bad experience yourself (either litterally, or through someone close) doesn't mean it doesn't happen a lot. In fact, I suspect it happens a lot more than you think.

 

[Ennui]

lol sparrow about the chicken thing

I don't think it will make me be more chilled out, but when I say that I use it in moderation, I mean not very often. I smoke strong shit because I want the full effect.

I don't even consider mellowing out a factor in smoking it; my research has shown that mellowing out doesn't happen except with chronic smokers; usually the only changes for people who don't do it as much is they get a new perspective on the world which can cause them to be more mellow.

Yeah well the reason for them "mellowing out" is irrelevant, its just the association really.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

When I said richer, I didn't mean have more money. Also, these studies were undertaken by the world health organisation and are not damning the drug at all. They simply state what it does, and that includeds the benefits.

 

[Ennui]

you don't ever need to change the way you are naturally, smoking weed for that purpose is stupid.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I don't think any drug is the answer to that...Countering effects instead of removing the cause is a way to spend lots of money fruitlessly.

 

[Ennui]

you're a hyperactive depressed kid with trouble communicating?

you NEED drugs.

EDIT: joke! I agree with sparrow on this.

 

[johnnypoopoopant]

hmm. seems the tables have been turned, there are alot of pot smokers here...

 

[Platinum]

Never smoked marijuana ...Kinda would like to though ...

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

No, that thread was on drugs in general, this thread focus is on American teenagers biggest drug problem: Marijuana and how it effects everyone who attends Highschool. I cant go through the halls or too a class without seeing someone high, baked, or down from the effects of Marijuana.

Whoa.. maybe that's just your school. Drugs are a big problem here but you don't see it going on IN school.

 

[colson]

I have never tried it but I think it smells nice. I have thought about trying it and expiermenting with what it's like but have never really had the urge to go out and do it.

 

[colson]

Whoa.. maybe that's just your school. Drugs are a big problem here but you don't see it going on IN school.

Are you joking? Kids at my school toke up everywhere! Even inside the school in the halls, bathroom and etc. It's sad that people are dumb enough to do it inside school but it happens.

 

[OmegaX]

Never Tried it, Never will.

 

[Bad^Hat]

One awesome thing about weed - the smell. I actually find it quite nice, and I don't mind being around people when they're smoking it (atleast not for the smell). Cigarette smoke... now there's a whole other story. Stuff makes me wanna gag.

 

[anti-elf]

shadow do you listen to emo music cause everyone else like you that i know does...lol (emo sucks) ...n e ways in other words....i believe pot holds great potential..there has been studies for great medical uses for it...post election showed that many states passed it for medical uses...which is a grreat step...i believe within the next 20 years the government will sell it legally to the people ofamerica...not only will it get out country out of debt (because of course there is gonna be a greater tax on it then cigerettes) but it will maybe chill some people out...the jails are crammed with harmless drug abusers...and it seems our countrys number one task is to catch drug ofeenders before our dangerous criminals. if it is legallized that will change to. Cops will have more time to catch the dangerous people instead of silent drug abusers. Less drug deals gone bad..shorter COPS episodes (thank god) but to answer your question yes i do smoke it and enjoy it...i don't believe in smoking it every day but yes i do smoke about once a week...with friends or just to chill. I did go threw teh stages of smoking everyday but lost my need for it after that...harmless drug if for all has more positive then negitive.

 

[brink's]

I've done it a few times and find it very enjoyable, but I like mushrooms much better.

 

[CyberSh33p]

[CyberSh33p]

what's wrong with you? that's like a first time drinker drinking a full bottle of moonshine.

[Bad^Hat]

I like Rap/Rock. It's such an original fusion that totally pushes the boundaries of musicianship creatively and technically.
