For the last time, you CANNOT get high on chicken grease!

 

This subject of this thread did a real "gainer" didn't it? LOL

 

pardon?

Electric chicken grease? No no, you're thinking of Wavy Gravy!

 

knottybaja,
There really is a hugh difference between 16 and 18, much more than there is between 20 and 25. You need those 2 years of maturing and you should be out of high school before you're at all equipped to handle pot or it may end up handling you. Look at the high school kids you know, who started out smoking on the week-ends and now are smoking daily and not doing much of anything else. Don't let yourself get caught up in that.

thanks steve. i appreciate your concern.
while i do smoke a several times a week i also remain active, i find sometimes that i approach matters such as cleaning up my room, or doing laundry, in a more positive manner. i think that altering our consciousness at times can give us more mental, emotional, and spiritual freedom, take dreaming for example.
i find with my relationship with grass, i become more aware of the potentiality of my thoughts. also marijuana can be great for setting the mood at times. i dont believe that cannabis should be used to distract oneself from our emotions, nor should we become dependant on it for entertainment or spiritual insight (and for whatever other uses you find for it). but hey, it can be nice sometimes to just listen to some tunes and smoke a joint, lively up a party, go out in nature, meditate, visualize, self-heal, whatever have you man. its also a nice way to come at a usual task in a new light.

And hell, the body does have natural cannabinoid receptors, which is kind of our body's way of telling us to smoke up.

while i recognize that there are a lot of negative effects of this drug, i also can't evade that it has a lot of mental, emotional, and spiritual uses.

 

Knottybaja,

You sound like someone I could hang out with , and hopefully you will read all of this (lol..dont' know how helpfull I can be man, but I'll try) I started smoking when I was in 8th grade, lol not very long ago but it seems like forever..and don't worry graduation day will come very fast, but I did notice a lack of effort with my school work and I couldn't keep up with football or other sports. I know I am not what you were looking for when you asked for wisdom from those who have been there...but maybe you won't mind my two cents.

I would have to warn you, like the others, if you start out too early your chances of becoming an everyday smoker do increase...look at me, but with use the effects I have noticed change from the fun getting "high" to a more spiritual, self awakening. I have learned things about myself that I would have never discovered before smoking. I look at marijuana as a way to let myself see myself. I beleive Bob Marley said, "Herb is a way for yourself to see who you really are." ....I think, but I know it was something like that.

If you are looking for a creative enhancing drug, and promise me you will wait till you are 18 to try this...LSD (acid) or mushrooms are the way to go. I have written most of the songs for my band on this and it has really inspired me with my art, but back to the subject. I have noticed that if you just get "comfortably numb" and put on some good tunes (headphones are nice if you don't have to worry about being caught...becuase they really get you involved), avoid the T.V. I see it as too much of a distraction, and just sit back alone and relax you will learn things about yourself that you have never known before...you will see who you really are.

I look at marijuana with respect for what it can show me, but also I realize (as any responsible smoker should) that it also has negative side effects that I am not sure anyone has brought up to you. Don't worry I am not going to be your health teacher again, but I wouldn't feel comfortable not mentioning them. It will effect your lungs, dont think it wont, you are still inhaling tar (given not rat poision or the other chemicals in tobacco) and hot smoke (a bong can help to reduce these but never fully) and it can diminish the effectiveness of your lungs. Second it will hurt your memory, I find myself relying on my girl more than ever to remember appointments, keys, remotes...lol. Thirdly, and finally, it is illegal (why I don't know, but it is...working on changing that...lol). I am studying Law and I want you to understand that if you are caught with marijuana you are facing some stiff penalties...and unless you live in a state where it is decriminalized (not to be mistake for as made legal...look it up on google if you do not already know the difference) you could face jail time. Also with the "War on Drugs" ,not to be mistake with the "war on terror" which seems to be less important, if you get caught you will probally not get any financial aid and for sure none from the government to help you with college...so be carefull out there.

If you smoke responsibly and safely (no driving, swimming which is another funny story, shooting, and most importantly cooking) you should be fine. I would also recomend wating till you graduate, but I didn't and you seem to already be on a pretty regular smoking schedual so do what you feel is right. Just understand that althought it can be very mind opening, spirtitual, relaxing, and open the door to a mind you never knew you had you must always remember to be safe. Know who you are buying from and make sure you trust them. Be safe out there, it's a battle field .

I sure hope this helped and let me know where you are located...I am in Ohio but Amanda and I will be moving to flordia soon so if you are in the area, and your parents will let you, feel free to drop me an email GBPackerFan1122@yahoo.com if you ever feel like hanging out. Maybe we could even jam if you play any insturments.

Peace to you and I hope your life is full of good energy,

Al
