I like to smoke, but i'm on probation and would be foolish of me to do so. Although in the past i have pushed my luck way too far. Just seeing how meh fellow NM'ers felt about the hobby.

[Raylen]

To be honest I think it's mooseing retarded. But hey, you gotta go out there and make your own choices.

[MysticStorm]

I'll admit.. I tried it twice when I was a teen. I ended up in the hospital both times and found out I was very very allergic to it. So I don't smoke it. I do find it highly stupid though and I have better things to waste my money on.

[Redheart]

Personally Id like to see it legalized. It has been in some states for medical purposes.
I believe it has great medical benefits.

[Sausage]

I agree. There are so many misconceptions out there, that's why everyone's so against it. If people read up and learned the facts, they would be much more apt to legalize it. Which would have many medicinal and economic benefits. It is physically IMPOSSIBLE to overdose from marijuana. You cannot become physically dependent on it. It does not inhibit your choice making abilities, or cause you to become wreckless. The opposite of which can be said for alcohol, which is completely legal and widely accepted. Marijuana also speeds up your metabolism and is already being used in some states for cancer patients as well as those with chronic pain.

I don't smoke. It's illegal and could end my career before I ever start it.

I do think that drinking is more dangerous in almost every aspect of effect, and it seems like there should either be stricter laws on alcohol or less on refer.

I dont know bout the overdose part since i never heard of anyone dieing from smoking too much....but i do know that recent studies show that marijuana will give you cancer 10x faster that cigarettes....and as far as the choice making abilities and becoming wreckless it depends on the persons chemical balances in their brain. Most people when they smoke become melowed out....some people actually become violent and get into alot of trouble from it. I can say from my experience when i was younger, which it is possible that maybe its just me but i have met a few people that it has done the same....i had smoked some bout i would say 10 years ago making me 17......i remember the night how everything went(according to my knowledge) but when the next day came along my friends were telling me i was crazy. I started asking why. To make the story short lets just say someone owed me and a friend 100 dollars that we fronted him and we went to his house to collect. From what i remember we asked him for the money he didnt have it,he offered some jerseys,and even the title to his piece of crap truck that was missing the bed on it. I remember just telling him to have cash instead and that we would be by tomorrow to pick it up. Now thats how i remember it going. According to my friends and they swore on their kids lives that it was true this is what happened. We went to the house i asked him for the money he said he didnt have it....showed us the jerseys....then after that my friends said i pulled my knife out on the guy(7" blade with brass knuckles on the handle) and was threatened to cut his throat if he didnt have the money. They said thats why he offered his truck title. Needless to say the guy showed up early that day with the cash. Now that was just from being high .....no other chemicals or anything.....and on several other occasions i ended up fighting friends cause i couldnt comprehend what they were saying and i felt like i was being made fun of....in the end i stopped by the time i was 18 and have never touched the stuff since.....now you tell me that it is not dangerous based upon that cause i can think of several other incidents from other people that have went crazy from doing it.

This is funny to me because of broc's char name... and I keep laughing everytime I read the first part. Other then that...don't you think there is too many lil kids that play NM and are too influential to be posting this nonsense?

[ChiliPepper]

Definately,

Don't listen to the silly sausage kids, it's not worth it.

[Sausage]

I am not advocating weed smoking. I only stated that I like it, and stated a couple facts.
Besides, I see the majority, of non-smokers, as pointing the young ones towards the sober path.

Don't smoke weed, it's illegal. But if you support it, take the necessary measures to legalize it, if you feel so inclined.

All this does is make it not suitable for you, I know enough people who can smoke without it having any negative effects. Well actually, i have yet to meet someone who suddenly acts violent because of smoking it.

I know people who cant handle relationships, and go berserk. Maybe we should make that illegal as wel..no more dating for anyone.

It's not all black and white, and to correct another thing. Marijuana doesnt cause cancer. It's usually by-products that are in some way carcinogenic (but no where near as much as cigarettes).

"ScienceDaily (Apr. 17, 2007) — The active ingredient in marijuana cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread, say researchers at Harvard University who tested the chemical in both lab and mouse studies."

[Peacemaker]

Correction. Marijuana does cause cancer and in more than one way. read the link if you want proof

[Sausage]

That makes perfect sense why the main reason marijuana is prescribed is to assist with the treatment of cancer patients.

There are ludacris studies on everything. I for one, do not see "taking the tar from marijuana and placing it on animal skin" a very sufficient study. But hey, everyone has their opinions.

Nice up to date link there man, and not at all from a biased organisation.

[Sausage]

lmao at "deeming it neccesary"

It is no more mentally addicting than sugar, or video games. It does not make you become "mentally" dependent on it. People just mess up their priorities because they enjoy getting high so much. Not due to the drug it self, merely due to lack of self-control. Same way as a video game can make a person waste away his/her life.

[Redheart]

Very good point made there.
Btw everything causes cancer.
The latest report out says working the nightshift causes cancer.
