[spooger]

[FPNY]

[Snickers52]

I haven't smoked a joint in over 25 years, but when I was in college I lit up almost nightly. There was a constant blue haze floating around in my apartment in the 70's.

 

[seven_sins]

I have never done it, but I have always wanted to. I have an acquaintance who promised me a joint.

 

[elle]

I too have been known to do it.

I have also been known to love Andreus!

i know it is anonymous but i wonder who voted for the last option?
...surely there is nothing wrong with disscussion, or does that lead to bigger and worse things as well?

I have not used it,not a fan of it,wouldn't encourage it-but in the end,is a personal choice.It is by no means harmless,but compared to other drugs,such as cocaine,heroin,uppers,whatever,does not appear to put psychological or physical health in danger when occasionally taken part of.

i went with "I dont even like seeing the topic discussed." But that's an extream view, but it was a gut reaction. I was the second one to pick that option. In reality and honestly i think it's incredibly stupid to do anything that significantly impairs your ability to think. There are enough stupid people in the world as it is naturally why make it worse?

 

[tx_doc]

Did in college. Don't care for it now. I don't judge other people who do smoke it because that's their own personal decision.

 

[Andreus]

ehhh

I am on anti anxiety pills for PTSD

Benzo meds are addictive

my choice is calculated. I did some research and it is much harder to become addicted to marijuanna than valium and ativan.

But, I cant say that I dont enjoy the experience. I do.

A freind here at JUb has been talking to me about giving it up and I have done so for the most part. I cant say that i intgend to give it up completely. that would be dishonest. i have no reason to lie.

Thanks guys for all of your input

I know i didnt say exactly why I was asking, but i didnt want anyone to pull punches and soften their opinions

hugs to everyone !!!

 

[mike_n_herrin]

If you are taking it for a medical reason, that's a whole nother ball game. I should have said that before. I mean anestiesa (sp?) screws up your ability to think also, but you are given it for a reason. I dont have any sort of problem with that.

 

[Andreus]

well....

self medication is not doctor prescribed. Im smart enough to know that.

There are also hadith issues for me to consider.

it is a choice I made. I didnt say the whole story on purpose

 

[BlueLantern]

President Bush.

Whait, that is not the question

 

[MetaKnight]

Pot is lame and I dont need that crap.

Seriously, noone needs it.

I dont drink either.

Does that make me boring? a loser? Not at all.

Compared to an alcoholic beverage, how many marijuana joint will it take to make you high? The effect are just instanteneous. People say there are medicinal values behind marijuana...maybe there is and maybe there isn't but one thing is certain, it will make you high. Marijuana contains THC which inhibits proper brain function including memory and learning capabilities. It also increases your heart rate as well as inhibiting your sense of coordination. I want a medicine that would cure me without the extra side effects. Yeah, your cataract is cure but mind you, your brain on the other hand has loss half of its use.

Alcohol is a poison, this is fact.
that is why everyones body reacts different to it, why there are certain effects and side/after effects (i.e hangovers) and why peoples bodies give out after a certain amount.

i don't think you could possibly get your hands on enough weed to give you an overdose.

as for the dumb factor this is true, but it wears off unless you were stupid to start with....in this case i cannot speak

mass amounts of pure oxygen has been shown to impair brain function.

 

[EveretteB1975]

I smoked pot once in a blue moon. Years ago i used to do a drug called extacy or x for short. (please excuse my spelling, spelling is not my strong point.)


But i love to drink my vodka.

 

[Andreus]

well a bit of perspective to cool a few jets...

the poll is clear

as with most things, the vast majority really dont seem to care.

aprox 22 percent disagree with smoking pot.

that makes 78 percent that either do smoke, have smoked, or dont really care one way or the other.

just the numbers to keep things honest

 

[Andreus]

thanks for your opinion, flip

I'm sure we are all considering it.

If you're still looking for input, Andreus ...

I used to smoke pot in college. Not really frequently, but off and on for about three years, more off then on, probably one weekend every month or two on average. It was a recreational thing -- get together with friends, smoke some weed, and laugh a LOT. I don't know what stars aligned in the cosmos to enable this, but the funniest things happened, only while we were all stoned, and would've been hilarious even if we weren't stoned.

It does weird things to me. I don't sleep and get up the next day feeling awful. It's not worth it.

I haven't smoked weed since the late 80s.

I feel smoking pot is a personal choice, but isn't a good choice for me. I don't really care if my friends smoke pot, but I don't want to be around them when they do. However, only my childless friends indulge. I would disapprove if those friends had children to take care of, just like I disapprove of people with children drinking just to get drunk. Somebody's gotta be taking care of the kids!
