i personnaly hate the shit. however i did smoke from the ages of 13 to 19, and from 16-19 was daily. then i quit and whenever i smoke now i hate it. i've had battles with other drugs and alcohol and i have many friends that smoke (allthough a lot of them are quitting also, i started a trend, i mean they like me now, they hate it) so i can see how many people like smoking, i loved it when i was smoking, i said i would smoke forever. my point is this, i come on the marijauna forum just to read some posts. it seems to me that almost every post is glorifying this drug. acting as if its healthy, are you guys serious?? not everyone but most are saying how they smoke all day long and have the best weed, and are basically obsessed with the shit, but yet say its not addictive. if i was talkin about how i drink everyday, and buy the best beer and mention that its natural, and mention all the health benefits, ya'll (most not everyone, some of you know you're addicts) would call me and alcoholic and think less of me. oh yeah, and another thing, i always hear about how god put weed on this earth, well don't forget he also put poppies and coca plants here too. sorry guys, just making a point, i know ima catch hell for this.
beer isnt natural and has numerous health problems. personally, i hate the taste of beer, and think its trashy and overated. id also admit to being addicted, though i know exactly waht you mean, most stoners claim theyre not addicted simply caus theyve not had and wont have a reason to stop and so they dont. but it is a beautiful thing. happiness is obviosuly addictive. espeically since theres no negative feelings associated with ti for most of us. i keep myself from being daily but when i have teh money i dont think if i can contorl myself. but that doesnt sotp it feom being great, making me feel good, making me feel healthier, making life more interesting and stuff. and jsut because you think less of pot heads doesnt mean we think badly of other drugs. in fact msot ppl here are willing to do other stuff if they could unless they didnt wanna get in toruble n stuff. personally i was becoming an alchoholic, drinkning spirits all the time (im only 16) and weed has gotten rid of that and replaced it with somehting much more intellectually stumilating, and fun. but why dont you tell us why you stopped and stuff? im sure most of us would be understanding. oh and i dont follow the whole god put on earth stuff too caus im not christian. i make teh same response.
First of all, you never explained why you hate it now. I'm interested. Personally I have a love/hate relationship with weed. I find that it can help lift my mood, aleviate boredom, sometimes even make me glow with a spiritual sort of warmth. But I can just as easily become paranoid, neurotic, and confused under the influence of weed. Many times I feel like it puts me in this haze, and I can't control anything. Sometimes I feel it makes me lazy, and unable to physically do much, or even talk to anyone. I really hate this feeling. Sometimes when I'm high I swear to myself I'm going to stop smoking. But my friends always seem to convince me otherwise.
that entire huge post was summed up into "why are yall addicted and refuse to believe it" anytime hallucin there are certain levels of addiction i know im addicted to my weed because i love it and i think its just flat out awesome. but i have stopped before because i went on probation, and didnt smoke for a full 6 months. and i was a heavy smoker. I think addiction can only be used when you go crazy without it, and mentally start going crazy. like can't go a day without it. i simply just love my weed. and have no desire to quit. anything else though, coke and such, is not something i fuck with. natural or not.
ya whyd you think wed all be pissed r something this is a hippy forum filled of potheads who will forget about it in about 2 mins anyways love n peace Vanessa
I wouldn't say I hate pot, I just don't like it and I will NEVER smoke it again. I was a very heavy smoker of it back when I was 14 to 16. I realized that I was a more outgoing and talkitive person when I didn't smoke pot. I felt better about myself when I wasn't high from pot. so I quit and its been 2 and one half years. I still take other drugs because I enjoy them..POTS JUST NOT FOR ME.
When you're addicted to something you are hungry for it. The only addiction marijuana causes is a mental addiction. You think you need it but you really aren't actually hungry for it. (I learned that when I started smoking cancer sticks [cigs].) That is how pot is different from cocaine and other drugs. Marijuana can't run your life. The only thing really bad about pot is that it reaches your lungs at a high tempature.
heroin and cocaine have their purposes, and are not to be abused, like pot, but i wont get into that. you probably abused it and became paranoid and exeprienced some of the more negative effects, thats not the herbs fault man, the herb is neutral, its depends whose hands you put it in when it becomes good or evil. to much of a good thing turns bad guys, moderation, knowledge, and self-discipline is key with a lot of things i think, they are much more enjoyable that way.
I totally agree with this post. And as far as weed being natural, well, that's part of what I like about it. I don't like these purified powders like coke and heroin because it's too easy to get into dangerous levels. But I might consider trying them in their natural form, like chewing coca leaves or whatever. Just like you can overdose on good medicine, these things may not be terrible if kept to safe levels. At any rate, I am sure they shouldn't be illegal.
Alcohol is far worse than weed. For a start when your stoned you dont have any other interest in any other drugs i sometimes dont even want to get drunk but when you drink its vice versa as soon as alcohol hits my brain i just want to get more and more wasted.
To the poster who started the thread, you said you had problems with other drugs. You obviously have an addictive personally, just because you couldn't smoke weed in moderation and ending up smoking hitloads and melting your brain doesn't mean everyone else who likes the odd joint will end up the same. Loads of people smoke dope and go through life fine.
...This is a pretty wack post. Before yesterday I was sober for about... a week and a half. Now I'm sober again. Tomorrow I'm buying a good fourty or so. It makes no difference either way. Marijuana is not a physically addictive substance. If you get addicted to smoking weed, then you're an addictive person, and probably get addicted to all kinds of things that are "non-addictive". So uh...... shut up. Word.
Yer if you use weed for the wrong reasons, like to escape, or jsut caus yur a little delinquent and want to take drugs and be rebelious or stuff like that, you turn o0ut lik jailmate, as he said. But weed can fuck up your life if you use it wrong and get mentally addicted. a mental addiction is worse than a physical addiction in one aspect. because the very point of a mental addiction is that you dont want to give it up. physical ones u can try adn stuff, but mental addictions mean that you jsut dont think or desire to stop, thats waht the addiction is. i dont want to do needles, or smoke cigarettes for the very fact that i know i am very likely to get addicted (caus ive got an addictive personality). but mary jane is different, shes kind, and unlike otehr drugs where u use it then u nee anotehr hit, mary is there with you for the whole week sometimes. shes beautiful. i usually respect ppl's decisions to stop but only if they involve a dislike to her qualities, and not to somehting lie 'i jsut realkised it was a dirty drug' or 'i dont want to become a dumbass like you stoners' i hate those people, they dont deserve mary's beauty in the first place
I've been smoking for 3 years, I smoke 2-3 times a day, I am not addicted though... a few months (around 6) i quit smokin for 2 and a half months so i could pass a drug test to get a job (and i wound up getting the job without ever taking a drug test)
i love pot. i dont smoke it all of the time, and when i dont have it its like damn i really wish i had some pot. but its not like oh my god i need pot right now or im gonna go craazyyyy!!!!!!!!!! that would be ridiculous, haha. why not smoke pot, it just mellows people out and makes them more relaxed and happy with the world. stoners aren't fighters, they're lovers! but there are raging alcoholics who beat their wives or just get angry at the world. how many times does that happen to a stoner or someone who is just stoned??
i wouldnt have thought it would be advisable for you to smoke weed if you say your mildly schizophrenic..
i agree that alcohol fucks you up WAY more than pot does, alcohol makes me feel out of control, i still feel in control when i'm stoned, even i smoke like 8 bowls or some rediculous amount like that. I've never felt out of control on pot, but i have with alcohol. And why would you come into a pot forum on a hippie website and post something like i hate pot, it's stupid and shit like that, clearly everyone is going to disagree.
