If there's one thing you can be sure about weed, it's that nobody is sure about the effects of weed. Every single scientist who has studied the effects of THC have widely differing results (of course, the fact that it is a schedule 1 drug in the USA means that it is very hard to acquire as much research as should be done). In my experience through my inner circle at high school, then my new friends at college, and even newer friends at the various places I have worked, it has never affected any of them the same. Of course everyone has their rituals and opinions when smoking, but ultimately, I feel it is all down to how the individual reacts. I personally have always seen pot as a mood, or fun enhancer. It's a great thing to do if you're bored and just playing videogames, or at a party, just as long as I never had anything important to do later on or the next day. My college friends however swore it was the best way to take a test, I guess it would make them super concentrated or something (but I never had any problems testing so I never felt the need to try it). I have also heard from my workout buddies that doing weed before you hit the gym makes you stupid strong, but again, I never felt the need for using it for more than a recreational time. I am of course bias on the matter. I have never been a smoker for all my life, and do not partake in marijuana nearly enough to overcome a coughing fit, even from the smoothest bong rip. This often lead me to a high where I felt like I would cough up blood at any minute, and honestly was not a fun experience (hence why I would never want to exercise or even be in a public place after toking up). To overcome this, I would drink a few beers before smoking, which worked, but is obviously detrimental to the aforementioned situations. Bottom line is, it's a plant that has been in human history for thousands of years, and has widely been accepted as a medicine in all cultures, until Harry J. Anslinger made it his personal agenda to make marijuana illegal in 1937 and all other nations followed suit. I feel the reasons that it has been kept illegal are ridiculous, and are only made so for tradition's sake. If you feel like you need it in order to function, I would definitely advise you to stop; but if your use is recreational (ie, just a fun enhancer), then by all means do so. |

amishburrito wrote ... I introduced my closest friend to weed about 3 years back when we started college. I had been smoking frequently on weekends since the 8th grade and he had never tried. We went to moondog and bought a couple bowls and some grinders and I was like, "have a good one buddy". He never fucking looked back. It was like I had introduced him to milk. The world was exhaling a big puff of wind and smoke and he got picked up and carried away. No problem graduating a year earlier than he planned from college, has a million friends, and has all his old friends still, and does cork 900s in the park. Our other closest mutual friends started smoking with us after very little coaxing. One, ted, was a pretty average athlete and would be starting his senior season in track. At first he would only eat firecrackers (peanutbutter crackers and weed baked in the oven) to save his lungs, but he did many many paragraphs of research and said fuck it. He smoked weed before every practice and swears that running while high is an amazing experience, I wouldn't know. That year he shot past every other track and cross country runner in the city meet. He has a budding career as a digital artist now. I can still make stuff that looks better. I have my own thoughts, and I wouldn't trade them for anybody else's. Because I know that I am a man, and I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for my friends and the weed we smoked together and what I learned from them. tl;dr smoke weed if you have a purpose and not just because it makes you feel funny. edit: These 2 smoked ALOT. If you're gonna go down a scary path it's best to run through it if you trust yourself to not trip and fall or get tired. It's all about how much trust you can place in yourself. who knows how much of this is bs, but for the tl;dr part i'd have to agree here it's just like any other type of stimulant. for me alcohol is my personal favorite and that's pretty much what i stick to. i drink most nights but never before i finish my shit. as toasty said as well if you can handle doing it as an enhancer i see no real problem but if you start fucking up, time to stop imo |

Nigga, I smoke weed errday. I feel stupid as fuck sometimes though, I don't know. I don't care. jk I smoke weed for like a week every month. It's just good to sit back at night, smoke a bowl, play some fallout or oblivion, listen to music. I just use it as a stress reliever. Fucking love weed, I rather smoke than drink, but I rather combine to two beauties together. |

I smoke weed everyday. Like a half ounce every 3-4 days. It just makes me high? I dunno, doesn't really change the way I act or anything. Maybe more laughy? Edited Sun Apr 03 2011, 04:19AM |

Buddha wrote ... Why do you guys feel that way? I 100% understand the part about it being illegal. I'm 100% behind that (the majority of the reason I don't smoke)... But aren't you curious what it feels like? Does seeing other people who look semi-retarded smoking it make you uninterested? Gieb pheedbacks.

I like to say its because a childhood friend committed suicide because of drug addiction, but weed isn't particularly addictive. |

I actually am not that curious (you hear enough stories from friends who use/used, but for me it doesn't make it anymore interesting), I don't know if I'd do it even if it was legal. If I don't need it to feel better or if I already am living fine without it, why try it? I don't have an incentive. | ||
