what don't you like about weed?

I've only tried it a few times, but one time I got really paranoid.

 

I don't see how you guys can drive stoned lol

I can barely even walk in a straight line when i'm high, i stumble and slur my words like crazy, almost as if i'm drunk

I wouldn't trust myself driving high, i don't even like driving if i'm a little tired. Then again, i've ever only driven a handful of times... we'll see what its like in a few years lol

 

Yeah, I dodged that opportunity today. Seems like it kills the purpose of getting high. It's too much responsibility at the wrong time...

 

Sometimes i get paranoid

 

I don't think any drug should be illegal. I believe that if even hard drugs were legalized and regulated that their use would decline. Especially so in the youth. Prohabition has proved, and is still proving to only increase the use and misuse of the substance that it's trying to prohibit.

Exactly, its the same with having to act sober when high too, it defeats the purpose of being high in the first place lol

 

I actually believe this as well, my original way of thinking was that every drug should be legalized, including all the horrible drugs such as meth and crack, because it's none of the governments business what we put into our bodies... if we want to be stupid and kill ourselves with harmful drugs, then so be it... its our own choice.

But seeing as how that'll never happen, i think they should at least legalize the innocent harmless drugs, instead of legalizing the harmful ones such as tobacco and alcohol

 

The thing is, not many people avoid illegal drug use because of the law, but often they just lack interest. Sure, usage might increase a bit at first, but in the long run it will likely remain the same as it is already. The benefits to ending the war on drugs far outweigh the cost of continuing. Ending it would free up revenue and officers to take care of real crime like murder and rape. There would be less non-violent offenders in the prisons and jails. Ending it could lead to taxation and regulation which would increase revenue for the government and increase jobs. Win-win!

 

What? pot doesn't do that... I call bogus dude.

 

Mostly it's the cost and the threat of unreasonable legal penalties that I don't like

 

naw man, i'm the biggest klutz ever when i'm high, i can sometimes walk in a straight line, but other times i'm hopeless... i constantly spill and knock stuff over too. I'm a mess

But i guess i don't technically "slur" more like mumble i guess? But mumbling plus making a lack of sense... kind of sounds like a drunken slur lol


*EDIT* - I have an unbelievably low tolerance too, even though i've been smoking for over a year...

 

Tolerance is both a blessing and a curse.

 

Well considering I've been smoking for 38+ years and driving for 32+ years and you have only been doing both for about a year.........
I'm pretty sure ZW is right up there with me as well, so chalk it up to age, experience and maturity.

 

definately the price.

 

I hate being forgetful.. I feel like such a dumbass after I get stoned and I can't remember a damn thing that anyone says. also, i get clumsy, knocking shit over. I can walk and talk though lol. I have a super high tolerance though so unless I'm smoking blunts of grade A kush I don't feel anything negative.

I feel like a complete idiot and maybe I overdo it. The paranoia also isn't my favorite thing either. Paranoia is to pot what "the spins" is to alcohol and my mindset is such that every time I smoke-up there's a 50/50 shot, I either get a nice mild stupefying trip, or I get a crazy bad trip and think the black helicopters are coming for me.

I never realized how lucky I am not to get paranoid. I used to get a little paranoid, but ever since I came out to my family about smoking pot I haven't had that problem. maybe because I mostly do it in the safety of my own home and don't have to worried about getting caught. but even when I do smoke while driving or anything I'm still never paranoid.

Probably just that young kid idea that it won't ever happen to me

 

the effects wear off

 

I don't like the munchies. I head right for the carbs and sweets
I don't like how it makes my heart race sometimes depending on what kind of pot it is
I hate that I can't maintain keeping a straight face without laughing for 20 mins straight at nothing

 

THIS. Except my tolerance is usually low as balls.
