It's an herb. But you can call it a drug if it makes you feel better. And the vast majority of smokers I know have changed for the better after they started burning. *Stupid people shouldn't smoke weed
im not addicted to it but if there was a drug that ive tried (out of the few) and liked the best it was shrooms...
well its not about being a person of lower IQ, weeds just not for everyone. and whatever you name it, herb or not, its addictive. and what made everyone who you knopw that smokes change them for the better? or is it only because you share one major interest that you like them more? because thats most likely the case. btw cocaine is also a plant.
Cocaine comes from a plant, but it is a manufactured product...marijuana IS a plant. But THC, that it contains, is a drug in that it causes psychological and/or physiological change. and to paraphrase Bob Saget in Half-Baked... "Marijuana is not an addiction! You ever suck dick for pot?"
My point on the lower IQ thing is this... Over time you do get a little burned out from smoking weed every day. So if you take someone of less than average intelligence, and he was to smoke weed every day, he's only going to get dumber. Same deal with a person of above average intelligence of course, but it's hardly noticeable. The people that I am referring to are happier than they were before they started smoking weed. A few used to be heavy drinkers, and the consequences of heavy alcohol abuse are MUCH worse than weed use. A few others used to need pills prescribed by their docs, that they no longer have to take. And some just enjoy be able to 'unwind' a bit when they get home from work, without having to have a drink. And yes it's addictive. I've been smoking every day for 19+ years.
Egads. I used to smoke weed before I had kids. And plenty of it. I still would like to occasionally, but I don't. I wish it was legal. LOL It SHOULD be, IMHO. Hell, it's a freaking natural herb... so I don't see what the big deal is. .....Ahh... to live in Amsterdam. That would be nice. I'd probably be stoned off my damn gourd 24/7 though. Anyhoodles... my drug of choice. (That won't have me jailed, and my kids dragged off to foster care), is xanax. I LURVE xanax.
after trying it for the first time a few days ago, I think i have found my ultimate drug. that one thing that i have been chasing since i started experimenting with chemicals almost 10 years ago. I was made for taking it. MDMA.
Money, lots of money is the best drug...with enough money you can buy anything (well, almost everything)...doctors, a coca plantation in Bolivia, an opium field in Afghanistan.... "...ting tang walla walla bing bang"
Nicotine and excessive caffeine consumption are gettin' me through the days at the mo; really really bad of me - but there it is. That's what no 'moke does to ya
sorry i just thought you said whoever doesnt smoke up is stupid or something like that but what i originally said was referring to my exhusband and my exboyfriend who are unmotivated and kind of stuck somewhere. my exhusband can be the most funnest sophisticated person when he smokes up but he doesnt work and he cannot keep any appointments or promises about household duties. I dunno, i known him when he quit and he was doing much better.....
my drug of choice is marijuana. But like me, most people dont even consider that shit a drug, its a fuckin smokeable plant, like tabacco haha. So I would have to say psychs (LSD, shrooms) and opiates (H, oxy).
Deary me. Define 'drug' - and then analyse cannabis. Of course it's a drug! (edit: it's just not a synthesised drug; but it's still a psychoactive substance and fits the properties which define the word 'drug')
Bob Saget says: Marijuana, Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke, you ever suck dick for some marajuana. Dave Chapelle: No, Can't say that I have.
man, that shit aint no drug. quoting Katt Williams: "drugs you gotta do shit to it chemically, put it in water, add baking soda stir it up, heat it, I dont know the recipe (actually I do), Im just sayin. Its just a plant, that if you happen to set it on fire, there are some side effects. and the side effects are hungry, happy, sleepy. thats it.Real drugs have real side effects, like withdrawals, depression, and whole bunch of shit." So I think Katt summarized it perfectly. Weed aint no drug, it it a "psychoactive" substance, but cant put it in the league of drugs like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, etc...
