Justifying drugs.. well weed

[font=&quot]Hello, all! I now. I gave the last of my weed to a friend, i'm regretting it now. but yea more thinking resulted from this thinking and thought... drugs, why? WHY? I mean i don't know about you guys but i suffered through a fuckload of anti-drug lectures at school, and well they have a point, drugs can and will fuck you up if you don't be careful. And even if you are careful, ultimately in the long run you're just killing brain cells, surely you're a healthier person without them...

Anyway that's just one side of the coin. I smoke weed, cause for a short time i feel completely content about things (unless something scary happens then i get paranoid heheehhahaHAHA). I smoke weed because when I do, whatever i was upset or angry about before seems unimportant and i can put things in perspective. When i come off the high things still doesn't seem quite as bad as before. I smoke weed cause when I do I think unlike I do at any other time. I become so creative. I can sit in the shower for fucking ages just thinking about shit, watching the colours and patterns dance through my head. When I smoke weed my entire body laughs and happiness surges through me. So fuck it, let a few brain cells dance off. it's a pretty small price for this much fun. that's what i think

Or maybe I just shouldn't think as much. What do you guys think?

Weed doesn't kill braincells. It kills your lungs and gives you some risks.. anti drug propaganda in school is bullshit. They tell you what they want to know and they can't go neutral because they can get blame for it.

Drugs aren't that bad; get your proper information about it. Do you see colors from weed ? Thats fucked. I don't. I just get stoned. If you use it for the wrong reasons; reconsider doing it. Smoke when you feel good and you'll feel euphoric.

Either way weed is good aswell as bad. In my opinion every drug is neutral (except for some; maybe) and its all on the use.

 

didnt he just say that it made him feel euphoric anyway?

the colours and patterns are the best

 

you dont really have to justify weed to other people cause there will always be stoners out there, so dont worry bout wat the other people think...

 

its another way to veiw ideas and think thoughts and a different view of consiousness i think everyone needs to like at different thoughts and events in a different frame of mind and to question it in a different frame of mind

 

Weed kills brain cells. When you inhale the carbon monoxide or dioxide or whatever that burning materials give off. It doesnt kill any more brain cells than cigarettes.

 

"None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study."

"Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana. However, because researchers have found precancerous changes in cells taken from the lungs of heavy marijuana smokers, the possibility of lung cancer from marijuana cannot be ruled out. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana."

one thing is true about what you said though. doing any kinds of drugs for a long LONG term will cause some damage but not as much as these fucking schools are saying. and you shouldn't use marijuana as an anti-depresant

 

Why? What if it works?

 

because you shouldnt take anti-depressants.

 

Well, the carbon monoxide in smoke does kill brain cells. Probably not a huge problem, but it does exist.

That said, it's true you do incur risk by doing any drug. Even weed, which is non-toxic and non-addictive. There are risks (besides the obvious legal ones), such as social problems, psychological issues, and yeah, some physical health problems, mainly lung problems (easily avoided by eating, rather than smoking, your weed. Hard to do though because of the differing amounts needed and the difficulty in deciding how high you get).

However, one might be using weed as part of a sort of stress relief method. Hopefully it's not your only outlet, but for many, it's a fantastic way to unwind, often with friends. Alcohol serves this purpose too. With both, moderation is the best road. Think of all the ailments (often deadly) that stress can cause these days: heart disease, ulcers, immune deficiencies, etc etc. Also, for some, it's part of a spiritual path (again, hopefully not the only part) which, while relieving stress, can help one find better, more positive ways of living, for prolonged happiness, within and among others.

As always, I recommend moderation. Also, never rely only on weed for your spirituality or stress relief, because weed is only a tool, everything you ever need is already within you. Weed is just one of the roses along the way. Stop and sniff! (but then, walk some more )

 

i really like how you worded that


my opinion: everyone should smoke at least once. if you like it, do it as often as you want. if you don't like it, don't do it, unless you think you might change your mind. then try it again. if you smoke a lot and stop liking the feeling, stop smoking. basically, there are barely any health risks, so do whatever the fuck you want. you don't have to be pro or against. you don't have to take a stand, just decide for yourself when, if ever, you want to smoke.

never say that! always be thinking! thinking is good

 

You guys think too much.

My theory:
MO WEED

 

i cant really catch what he really said, but either he said he using it as an anti-depresant or to calm him down from anger, if he was using it to calm himself down then thats alright but using weed for anti-depresant is a waste of weed. it works for a couple hours but doesn't get rid of the problem, but if he smoked and it helps him think of a solution to get rid of the problem then okay

 

yea that was a stupid post. I had been up for far too long and was in some weird fatigue induced mood where I just felt like talking up weed. I think I meant most of what I said though...

Firstly I'm not going to argue the science of cannibis. I tried once to understand it, and got fairly far i guess, but i'm sick of only being able to find papers by scientists that are published in norml or nida. There's no middleground with drug info. But I can't really believe that it does nothing bad. Surely you people agree. I mean it's a drug, it alters your mind which is a euphemism for fucking with your brain, and however much fun this fucking might be I don't try and kid myself that it's good for me like my 8 glasses of water or 5 plus vegetables or fruit servings of fruit are good for me. I don't really know if it kills brian cells, but waking up two days after a good night with some friends and a bong and having to read the same sentence 5 times over before it gets through certainly isn't an improvement.

I'm not trying to make myself of anyone else stop taking weed. I just think there are consequences we have to accept in favour of those few wonderful hours. My orignal post as incoherent as it was wasn't trying to justify pot to other people, but for me and taking it myself. I'm not depressed and ofcourse i have other outlets, and ofcourse i moderate and be sensible and all that shit, but why am I smoking it at all? I can't really think up any simple REASONABLE reason. brief euphoria doesn't really justify it. I guess the confusion of my first post kinda sums it all up. I don't really entirely know... man i'm getting alld tired and confjused now - bed

 

but first dannyandryan is that a grateful dead pic at on your posts? They're so awesome.. if not, they're still awesome....
