I have a very limited experience with stuff like this, I've never had it, but my brother got into it far too young and it really did seem to have a bad effect on him. I know obviously thats not going to be the fact for everyone else, but seeing the effect it had on him has put me off it for life.

I have seen many people ruin there lives in a puff of weed smoke as well. Having said that though i have known through my life many more people that have been on it for a loooong time without any serious effects on there health or mental state.

I have tried pretty much all the stuff out there once and i can safely say nothing on this earth is like weed.

CAN.

booze can make you an alcoholic too but that doesnt seem to bother anyone.

 

[Sharma]

It's all down to your mental stability imo.

Only problem here are the extremists again.

People who Smoke too much.

Mr Smoketoomuch: Pardon?

Not you, you silly person.

I thought you said Smoketoomuch.

I did! But i didn't mean you. I'm not doing a Python ripoff in ages!

Oh right, right. I'm not good enough for this bit. Mr Smoketoomuch is just a comical relief to ease tension with the masses that follow the tyrannical lead of the op...

*sigh* Where was i?

Ah yes. People who smo...use more weed then should, are the problem. As with smoking, alcohol, and what you have it.

I don't smoke weed, but i don't mind it either. Puff away. Have fun. Fly away. Just don't A: Shove it in my face and ask me ten times in a row if i want some. B: Explain it's "alright" while C: Outright crying murder when someone lights up or has a drink.

You want to smoke weed and do what YOU want to do? Then i tell you the same thing i tell the veggieburger sniffing boatriders out there...do it, but don't get high and mighty when someone else enjoys something else.

On topic though, isn't these news popping out like every now and then, from rather "dubvious" sites? Heck, i read somewhere that alcohol doesn't kill braincells and smoking doesn't cause cancer, but it's the added effects that might happen that do. Like, moshing while intoxicated kills braincells and DNA+smoking causes cancer or some such.

Pretty much seel.

 

[Roalith]

15 days straight without smoking anything now. Last thing I smoked was one reefer not long after midnight, news year's eve, as a 'goodbye smoke' luxury.

Not planning on touching anything again, but as has been said: It's the excessive abusers that cause problems. Everything in moderation. And yes, literally: Everything

 

[megadave]

I love weed and since being at uni i've smoked every day. Saying that i can see how bad it is for me and in all honesty i wish i'd never started, my memory these days is abysmal.

Also seen what it can do at extreme levels with regards to schizophrenia and that Santa joke isnt far off the sort of things my mate comes out with sometimes

In all fairness though a bit of modesty will go a long way.

i think my memory is fuxed too. i cant remember things without being prompted, then i can remember stuff from years back.

tbh it might of always been like that, i cant really remember.

 

[Amildin]

Who wants to remember stuff :wub:

 

[Lamp]

Yeah, weed is good for you LOL

 

[tris-]

well lamp it depends how you define good for you.
imo its better than any legal substance used for relaxing etc
and the positives outweigh the negatives.

 

[Roalith]

Oh hell yeah can I sympathise on the memory thing. Can't remember much at all from the heavy smoking period, and even my memory recollection from before and after then is certainly a lot less clearer than they used to be.

Tierk, that almost looks like a walking weed-plant in your avatar.

Have to ask, do you feel the same about all substances, with the positives vs negatives being personal?

As in, using moderate alcohol to help with bloodpressure. Or say, smoking to calm the nerves(especially in high-temp people), yet the smoking staying at a "healthy" level?
