Weed...

[Dook]

Well, I started smoking weed regularly just after I got ill (cancer, ouch) and my Doctor recommended it to me since I'm allergic to Morphine (not good) and the alternative painkillers they gave me aggrovated my asthma (again, not good). Weed didn't exactly cure the pain or make it go away, it just made it alot more tolerable. Needless to say, I smoked alot and now I'm better I can't stop. :x

Anyway, this has got me thinking alot about weed and it's effects.

Personally, I don't think weed is that bad. Alchohol seems to have far worse effects (on me anyway).

However, although I only really smoke "commercial" weed I understand there are alot of different types of weed out there such as "skunk" etc that can really fuck you up mentally after prolonged use but I'm not talking about those.

I understand that everyone has different tastes and some things are better suited to some than others but IMO, Alchohol > Weed in terms of dangerous effects.

Your thoughts?

Well, I started smoking weed regularly just after I got ill ...my asthma

And smoking didn't aggravate your asthma? Nice doctor you have there - there is medication made from cannabis sativa (sans the THC) that AIDS and cancer patients can take.

Anyway - I am outta DAoC land again. Just saw your name and remembered how much I used to piss you off.

Lots of my mates smoke weed.... I don't personally.... don't see the need, but yeah, alcohol is a lot worse for people.

Seen drink turn big rugby players into maniacs, trashing everything in thier way. Also seen weed turn those very same people into 5 year olds with gigling complexes. I'd pick weed as better for society any day.

That said, I'd not give up alcohol for weed... enough shit goes into my lungs from the air these days... don't need to stuff more crap down there
(My stomach is lined with rubber mind, so alcohol in small amounts does not affect me)

The lesser of 2 evils is weed imo.

Alcohol is the biggest drug problem only surpassed by nicotine.

I never personally enjoyed alcohol as much as pot but in the end it was all shite.

I don't have a serious medical condition though, gratefully, and I support the use of marijuana in medicinal treatments.

Alcohol isnt a drug. Weed is, and it's evil.

 

[Serbitar]

If you were walking down the street at night and on one side of the road was a bunch of guys drinking beer, and on the other side was a bunch of guys smoking dope which side would you walk on?

The side with the dopers obviously, the guys drinking are looking for a fight while the guys smoking are looking for cookies.

 

[Serbitar]

Alcohol isnt a drug.

and thats just plain wrong

 

[Tom]

Alcohol isnt a drug. Weed is, and it's evil.

You're wrong on the first point, and correct on the second.

:worthy: weed :worthy:

Indeed, booze gets you fired up, especially Wife Beater (tm) and you feel like causing some trouble etc.

Where as Skunk/Weed/Draw does the exact opposite.
Just takes the piss, was down the local park a few year back, some twatty drunken 16 year olds gettin pissed on their White lightning etc thought it would be a good idea to jump up and down and rip the car park gate off.
Someone who lived close the this park, heard the commotion called the pigs and they came down. Poor me and my mates, just sitting there having a chilled smoke, not causing any trouble...end up getting busted for possession whilst those little shits legged it and got away

Ps. Been smoking skunk/draw (when I have to) on the regular for past 6 year, only thing I hate about it is the paranoia but...I guess its better than smacking someones teeth in and getting done for gbh

[Whisperess]

Conchabar is living proof of what weed can do to you though

lol.. i hope u were joking ,seriously.
I agree , weed is alot less worse than booze , at least with weed u cant die off a amount u buy for 10 pounds.imo there are a few other illegal drugs less effecting than booze , but i aint gonna blabber on about that now

Actualy weed is pretty good for asthma, it relaxes the airways

Smoking isn't, however. My asthma gets a lot worse when I'm around smokers... and "spacecakes" aren't very commonplace. No point doing drugs... alcohol is cheaper, more efficient, and less dangerous, unless you're irresponsible/one of those people who gets all violent when drunk (which is a personality problem, down to the unconcious mind ) so to quote Reel Big Fish... I think I'll have myself a beer...

 

[Sissyfoo]

Even though I don't smoke it (I don't need weed to talk shit ) I like hanging around stoners because they are always good for a nice surreal conversation and a far less aggressive/drooly/slurry than people who drink.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Who gives a rats ass, be you a pothead or a drunken bastard, doesn't make a deifference.

All who drink a case of beer and a few stiff ones don't kick grannies down from rooftops and all who smoke whatever makes their imaginary friends giggle don't act all chilled.

F*ck stereotypes, let people smoke and drink what they want. I do.

Who's stereotyping? Oo

Was just asking peoples opinions etc

Read the thread and ask that again.

"Drunk people break places!"

"Weed smokers are cool and mellow!"

And so forth.

Moonshine. (sp) (i think)

Well anyway, i've personally not smoked weed, most of my mates do, my brother did (til he got jail ) I like SilverHood dont see the point in it accept getting chilled out, if i wanted to be like that i'd just be with my mates, and for the giggles, watch Peter K Live in Bolton on DVD in my bedroom whilest sitting with my mates

You can also get weed in a spray from the chemist.

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Hey, I've known some lovable drunk rascals, as well as mellow pot smokers.
I've also known complete drunken assholes, and wankers who smoke pot.
Remember, it's the person, not the substance, that does the damage.

Remember, it's only illegal if it isn't taxable, or feels good. Besides, if it
brings you relief, is it so wrong. Hell, if you got a serious illness, it's not
like it can make you any worse (famous last words i know).

Have to agree, if your diagnosed (sp) with a serious illness then enjoy the present time instead of feeling sorry for yourself let the others feel sorry for you. Who said those last words?

Sounds good on paper but nowhere near how I felt in reality when I thought I was gonna kick the bucket.

Last thing you want is people feeling sorry or being upset for you.

 

[Xeanor]

I'd rather have some of that morphine you've had Dook :>

 

[Vladamir]

Tohtori, i couldn't agree with you more if i tried :worthy:. Like a lot of my mates, i just get friendly and outgoing with everyone, hell i'll even dance a bit . Although it depends on the person's personality when they're sober, funnily enough. If they're one of those people who walks around somewhere thinking they own the place, generally they'll get fired up looking for a fight. Weed on the other hand, i've only seen people just get chilled out and mellow on that .

 

[Deacan]

Wife Beaters hehe, ernt heard that term in years.

Good ol' Stella Artois.

 

[Morchaoron]

weed is like alcohol, its not evil, but the people who overdo it are...

sure...
smoke 20 sticks in a row, become paranoid and fooked and blame the weed...
drink 8 bottles of wodka in 30 mins and blame the alcohol...
drive in a wall with 300kph in a busy street in the city and blame the car


these kind of shits make everything look bad in this world...

if your body cant handle it, dont use it, i know a guy irl who becomes a very aggressive racsist after having only ONE glass of beer (he also dived into a empty swimming pool once, then tried to beat up the medical personnel who were trying to help him) and still he keeps drinking it while he knows it gets him into trouble everytime but hey, its his life, i he wants to waste it i dont care...

use common sense in whatever you do...

since i am the oldest fart in this thread and for sure smoked more weed then all posters together (try living in Amsterdam for 11 years) i can tell i think i speak from experience when i say:

weed is bad

it seriously fucks up your development (socially / mentally) specially when you smoke 5 joints a day for ~15 years.

only good point about weed over alcohol it doesn't destroy your body as fast as alcohol does (alcohol = legal hard drugs)

don't do it

take a nice addiction like DAOC
