    ye, you may heard this question 1000 times...
    but i'm really attracted for some reason for the weed, also my friends. it's illegal here in israel, so it's kinda dangerous but w/e.

    i really wanna try it, after final exams... in the summer. but hell, im really afraid that i'll be fucked up i dunno. i've read all the dangerous thing that it makes... half of the things i've read are from drug policy or something, so they have all the reasons to write bad things about it, but also people who smoke have all the reason to say only good things about it.

    im a musician, and i hope it will help creativy.

    what are the really bad things that can happen from somoking weed? for the long and the short time both.
    the most thing that im afraid of that it will fuck up my grades, im kinda good @ school but i don't really u know study, im just smart it comes easy for me, i don't go to lesson etc... (im proud of myself :D)
    anyway if it has effects, i really don't want it to be noticable to others except friends which we'll all smoke together.

    so put all of ur information and be serious ;p

    ive been smoking for 2 years and i have to make up 2 classes in summerschool. i know people that get straight a's and burn everyday. nobody everdied from smoking weed so dont worry.if your smart now, when your smokin you will still be smart and you will still do good in school. if your smokin in the summer , idk but its like the best time of the year to blaze. make sure your with someone who already smokes. you wont get all stupid and kill yourself like they show on tv.

    as long as you keep your pot smoking appropriate and dont let it interfere with your priorities you will be fine. For example if you have a project for school due tomorrow and you say well, instead of working on my project now I think I'm going to go get baked that would be bad.

    Cannabis is extremely safe, as long as you use it responsibly. I personally smoke around twice a week (although currently haven't smoked in around 30 days, but i'll be ending that break soon), and maintain good grades. I got all A's this year (during my junior year in hs). However due to my grades in the past 2 years, my overall gpa is 3.5.

    In terms of health effects, is extremely safe in comparison to a lot of other drugs. However, a lot of people seem to believe it's 100% safe, which I disagree with. If you abuse the substance over a prolonged period of time, it's going to have negative effects. This can include lung/breathing problems, such as emphysema. A lot of people also claim to have developed anxiety/social anxiety/memory problems from using it too much.

    Now granted, if you're not over using it, you'll be perfectly fine. The negatives usually develop when people use it everyday, numerous times a day. (although, there are people who can do this and end up perfectly fine, too).

    Also, the first time you do it, don't over do it, or you might not end up liking it. It might be too much and could leave feeling pretty uncomfortable. And, you're probably going to have some highs that seem overwhelming and crazy, which you might not enjoy, as it usually happens to everyone at some point. But you'll get past that.

    EDIT: yea, that's a good point above that I left out. It's only going to cause problems in school and such if you let it interfere with your work.

    Oh and for the most part, if you start to notice that your brain isnt as quick and sharp as it used to be the effects are pretty temporary. I havent smoked since early May and I already have noticed that my brain has gotten alot quicker than it was when I could smoke a bunch of times a day.

    On the topic of that thats proof that its not very addictive as well. I was a regular 1-2 times a day smoker for about 4-5 years and I stopped in early may because of a possible pre-employment drug test/I'm saving up for a new car and don't wanna spend any money that I don't have to and I haven't had any withdrawal effects whatsoever.

    Yes lol, its very possible to smoke weed with water pipes.. makes it a lot healthier and you'll get twice as high. I can't really tell you how people are gonna react to weed where you live, because its a hell of a lot different there than in the U.S I'm sure.. just don't wave joints in front of cops and you'll be good.

    If you know your friends are okay with you smoking then just be like "hey do you mind if I spark up, you can join too if you'd like?"

    If you are going to a place thats a little less pot friendly but you want to burn before hand find a quiet spot where you wont be bothered and toke up, but give yourself some time to let the smell of the smoke get off you. Also make sure you can handle your highs before doing this because its a dead giveaway that you are stoned if you cant control yourself.

    As long as you dont smell like pot in front of your parents or act obviously stoned in front of them they shouldnt get suspicious. Make sure you have all of your pot related items securely hidden from them too so they don't accidentally stumble upon them.


    Smoking once a week will be good, and you most likely won't notice any negative effects except possibly if you smoke late at night feeling a little bit more tired/lazier than usual the next morning.

    Keep in mind that some first time smokers even when inhaling and holding the smoke in correctly their first time don't get high. It may take a couple times, so the first week you want to smoke you may end up having to smoke a couple different days to feel it.

    Smoking anything will hurt your lungs. But no one has ever died from smoking pot, and people who smoke pot have not contracted lung cancer (that anyone knows of).
    Right now I have a cough from smoking weed, so I'm taking break until my lungs feel better.

    Only for the duration of the high, and if you've been smoking for weeks on end, for a week or two after you take a break.
    It's not permanent. It is annoying though.

    Yeah, pot can be dangerous, but mostly only when you run into the Police. I don't usually encourage the use of it to teenagers who are still in high school, as school is a requirement for most, and pot can affect your memory somewhat. So, if you have a bad memory, pot and school don't mix well with you. :p But, there are many benefits to pot, like awareness and creativity, both which I like. :)
