Two major things.

I've tried marijuana twice. Both times it just made me feel sick. No high, no buzz, nothing but plain old nausea. Quite the disappointment.

Although it really shouldn't have come as a surprise. I have an unusual constitution. My body tends to resist substances that other people don't have a problem with. Even some anesthetics, which can be... a bit of a problem.

So... no pot for me. Oh well.

That's good to know

The closest thing I've ever done to drug abuse is second hand smoking.

I'm way too protected from the world.

On the bright side, I'm not even curious about this kind of stuff, so hopefully I won't have any drug problems. Or alcohol problems for that matter. The most I've had is a glass of Champaign at special occasions, and I only really use that for toasts.

Pot smokers stink really REALLY bad...

Lol my friend Conor from up the road generally doesn't smell bad at all, so I'm not sure where you're coming from with that one.

The main times I've had weed were with him, anyway. I've generally had good experiences while smoking. It makes you feel very heavy. Anyone who's had proper weed will know what I mean by that.

Phht. You do realize he's just going to scoff at you, right?

There are drugs and there are drugs. So long as you don't over do it, Marijuana lies in the former category.

I wholeheartedly agree with Shadow.

Meh, I'm always really torn with this stuff. Yeah I know weed isn't actually bad for you and that the whole reason behind it is corporations and fear campaigns and crap like that. But it can still change people and bad things can happen, I think it should be on par with alcohol mostly. And I've had that before, so I can never say someone who smokes is a bad person. I know a lot of people who are really good people but do pot sometimes. I don't think it's for me though.

yeah it's pretty illogical having it banned, I wouldn't ever do it just because, but it's no reason not to respect someone, now if Ren had said "Well meth makes you feel great, I think I'll go and inject a couple thousand cc's into my femurial artery and drive a greyhound bus through the national meeting for expectant mothers!" well then I think I'd have lost some respect. but really it's no big deal.

I don't know why marijuana has such a bad reputation (Well, I do know; the government, and it's friends in the oil and petroleum industries). Weed affects you in a non-damaging way. Furthermore, the high of pot is the perfect opposite to that of alcohol. The high dissipates, leaving small traces of chemicals that are actually quite beneficial to the body. The smell is sweet, and the smoke is thin.

The only problem I have with the guy at this point is that he's drinking.

Agreed. the only thing bad about weed is the smoking part.

I think that about sums it up. I'm really concerned about some 13-year-old American kid on an internet forum respecting me. This is one of my primary concerns in life.

It's still a drug and abuse of it will fuck you up.

It is indeed. Alcohol, marijuana and cigarettes are all harmful if abused. I've been out drinking the last 5 days in a row because we just finished our exams and 4 of my friends left for Thailand today for 2 months. Today's the first day I haven't been drinking since last Tuesday. 5 days in a row is kind of pushing it, so I'm going to have to take a week out to recover. lol

Haha I'm with you, buddy. I used to look down on people who smoked cigarettes or weed and who drank alchol, but then I stopped being a bigot because I grew up. Nowadays I let people do what they want for the most part, although I am uncomfortable with people doing the harder drugs.

I don't buy weed either. I just have a bit if someone I'm hanging out is having some and wants to share.

Lotus Wolf wrote:The only problem I have with the guy at this point is that he's drinking.

That's just as illogical as a prejudice against marijuana. Either can be abused to dangerous degrees. There are problems such as alcohol-induced liver disease and marijuana-induced psychosis. I'm sure that if I drank too much milk I'd get some form of disease.

Yes, I must agree. I, personally don't use any type for drug (as I'm violently allergic to most all of them), but if I were to use weed, I would use a vaporizer. Weed's good, burning it and inhaling the smoke probably isn't so good. Though it would be much better than tobacco...

Vaporisers are pretty expensive. lol.

Also, the benefits you're referring to from things like THC are if it is taken in very small amounts, but also has various health risks regardless of the method used to take the drug. It's apparent in friends of mine who smoke a lot of weed, you start to notice they're forgetting a lot of things they shouldn't be forgetting, such as things that happened the previous day.

Alcohol in very small amounts, what's known as drinking in moderation, has also been found to have various health benefits, but also have various health risks. For instance, various friends of mine who used to be quite good athletes and competed in a lot of sports lost a lot of fitness due to binge drinking. I'm not sure but I think drinking beer is related to people gaining weight.

Thus, why does your logic for saying that marijuana is okay not apply to alcohol being okay? They both have health benefits in certain circumstances, and also have risks if abused. I'm interested to see what you think.
