weed wont harm youre body!
and i'm from holland so we can get it in the so called coffeeshops here

I havn't done it personally, but I don't think there is anything really wrong with it. I think I might try it sometime, but I'm not going out of my way to do so. I also don't think there is anything wrong with being friends with someone who does, but if they are stoned 24/7 it wouldn't be a whole lot of a friendship... but thats a different story....

[MasterCA]

No, and I will never try drugs.

[daresforme]

I smoke weed everyday. I do not feel it harms my body, and in all honesty, I do not believe it should be illegal- anywhere.

This.

So no, I haven't. I cannot stand recreation drugs. There are plenty other, legal way to get a rush. This website is a good example. If someone I was close to told me they did drugs, I would lose a lot of respect for them.

This is how I was for awhile. I hadn't done it, but I was justkinda waiting for someone to offer. Once I started smoking, it turned into an every weekend thing, sometimes during the week too. Now its summer and im usually high for awhile everyday.
And for everyone who has never tried it, its not like movies portray and stuff. You dont trip balls or anything haha. You can walk fine, drive perfectly, your basic senses may be a little bit slow but thats about it. If anything, you will drive slower

I used to smoke everyday, before school, sometimes during school and then after school. My grades really started to suffer and i wasn't doing work and skipping lessons so now I dont smoke much at all.

[BettyBoop]

I've never smoked, but I don't have any big problem with anyone who does.
Some people I know do, it's no biggie.

The most harm that weed does to your body is the same that can be expected from putting any kind of smoke in your lungs. To that end, weed smoke doesn't cause the lesions on the bronchial tubes that lead to emphysema, like cigarette smoke does. It's cognitive impact is short-lived and prevalent only while high, and most of the bad things that people say about it are inconclusive or completely unfounded. Weed does a body a lot more good than it does bad. It has beneficial impacts on a bevy of diseases and disorders.

More people go from alcohol to cocaine and heroin than they do from marijuana. Alcohol is also quite a bit more harmful than marijuana is but is accepted with open arms in our day and age since the stigma around it dissipated during and after the prohibition. The drug itself isn't a gateway drug and breeds no physical dependency. It does have a psychological one, but that depends more on the person that you are. Kind of like how some people might get addicted to TV or something like that, where the element itself has nothing that causes addiction but where a person can get addicted anyway.

There's also a difference between being "high" and being "stoned". Most negative stereotypes about weed-smokers revolve around people that are stoned.

I smoke pretty frequently, and also research extensively anything that I'm going to put into my body. I don't smoke to party, I don't feel that it's a "party drug" like alcohol and ecstacy

i've never smoked it prolly never will

totaly agree
and did someone over here ever heard that someone has died from smoking weed? because i didn't
but i hear alot about people getting in to coma or even dieing because of alcohol


so if u don't want to be friends with someone who smokes weed then you better get rid of ur alcohol using friends 2

Okay, I have never smoked pot and have no desire to. I wont smoke anything ever. Its just the way I am. My unkle actually works for a company that researches and develops medicines and drugs. Not bad drugs, medicinal things. While pot is not as bad as most say it is, it still not good.

Pot is the least addictive drug, but that doesn't mean that it cant become addictive to people. Its been proven that chocolate is about as addictive as pot can be and I have to say I love chocolate.

I have a couple friends that have done pot on a regular baisis and it mad me sad as I watched most of their grades decline. Pot causes short term memory loss in most users. I have know someone who was completely uneffected and I had a friend that died from it. It varies, just as most things do.

Pot also makes you feel the need/desire to eat more often so if youre on a diet, its not a good idea.

Pot makes the desire to have sex stronger. Pot provoked stronger emotions to things that happen. You may be happier, angrier, more sad, etc.

Pot will not make you crash your car, in fact, alcohol is mre powerful in that area. Saying that pot is less dangerous than having a beer doesn't make it right to do it. It can take many things away from you. Your grades, friends, family, future, and even your life. It is illegal. It is not, for the most part, benificial to you. It can lead to decisions that lead you further down a road you should have never know existed. My friend that died from it, died at a stop light. He wasnt thinking clearly b/c of it and though he stopped at the red light, he stopped his car in the middle of the intersection and was killed by another car as it hit him. He was 19. I had known him since I was 4.

Just because something is cool, or others are doing it, or its not really "bad" for you does not, in any case, mean that there will be no repercusions. You may get lucky. You may not. My friend was not.

If I could rate posts... I'd give Cara's 5 stars. But since I can't I'm posting a reply. Thanks for the honest opinion that involved actual logic and not just "pot is stupid."

*hugs* And sorry about your friend.

[tiger76]

Yes. Lots and lots and lots and lots. But not anymore, not for more than 4 years.
