Weed really is bad.

I think your wrong. It does not make you dumb or lazy. If your dumb, its because you were dumb before your started smoking. And lazy also. Everything probably seems clearer cause your not fucking high anymore. The only trouble youll get in is with the law. Again, yeah its alot easier to pass a test when your sober isnt it? It would help not being high.
Im not fooling my self, and it isnt a conspiracy, but its some fucked up shit.

 

I am a daily toker and it doesn't consume my life. It is just another regular daily routine for me. Just like getting up from bed, taking a shower, eating breakfast. I am not dependent upon it, it's just that i like it and i want to do it everyday.

The world shouldn't be full of conformists just because the people higher up want it their way.(aka lawmakers) We are all different. Why can't people just accept it and let it be.

 

This thread is reminiscent of the weed addicts one.

 

i say moderation is the best... i love weed but i can still sustain a job, i have nothing lower than 90% in all my classes, and even thou my family knows i smoke and disapprove very much, can still trust me to get chores done... but then again i only smoke a couple times a week (3-5)

 

Yea dude.. I respect your decision to.. that is your decision... and yours alone. However, you shouldn't generalize weed like that. The hurb is not what hurt you in the past.. perhaps you need to lay blame where it belongs.

I smoke daily.
I taught at the univeristy for 7 years, and was one of the best instructors in my department... I raise 3 amazing kids, and try to be the best husband, father that I can be. I try to be a good person, and when I feel like there is something in my life that is missing, or can be improved... Weed has helped me there too... It truly has made me a better person in life... sorry, belive what you want... but that is true.

Herb is not a bad thing... The problem is that people (esp ones you may meet in rehab), is that they will try to blame weed, and everything else in the world for things that didn't go right in thier lives.. the danger there is that you start to blame external sources.. and that does not help you with the real issues...

Dude, if you were 18... yes, I would say maybe you were too young, and didn't know how to be resposible with things.. but man, your 28...

Anyhow, I'm glad things are going well on your end.. keep up the awesome work... and best of luck with all thats coming your way...

Peace

depends on who's driving the car.

 

:cheers2: right on.

I've been a daily or close to it smoker for several months now and while certain linear thought processes while actually high are inhibited it's opened so much more of my perception and given me a chance to look at emotions and other things that I didn't know were even there. It's also helped me look at some of my need to be in control etc and given me an opportunity to exercise a release of that control. It's been a very positive influence in my life. And sure sometimes I feel less productive but that's not the weed's fault.

I think that a lot of times it's made villainous because weed does cause a perceptual shift and our world is organized in a very linear, controlled way. If you move away from that linear model you're much harder to control. I think it's an agent of social change honestly.

 

rehab has made u stupid dude these fucks have brain washed ur ass

 

i really do think it depends on the weed your smoking( potency, variety wheter its indica sativa and strain) to the effects you will get off of smoking it. and also your on make up and personality as well.

i smoke it truly does help me in school, im less bored, i can concentrate way better, and my grades go up when i smoke.

it makes me think more, and i want to make my life better.

i think it is positive to smoke marijuanam myself.

some people who smoke it, really are stupid but honestly, they were stupid to begin with. im not calling you stupid but ithink as well if you blame it all on weed its not realistic.

weed is a good thing.

 

i think your right, you create your own probs, just cause you got burned, dont ruin it for everyone else, buzzkill

 

the only negative thing i have to say abot smoking is.........in my experience lots of people do not aprove of this lifestyle, ive had numerous problems find ing work even with a college degree because of a simple possession charge, but then again i live in a state that isnt very pot friendly, fuck the south

 

That's great you found this out for yourself, but a lot of us don't feel dumb and lazy after smoking weed. We make it a part of our productive lives, so just because YOU feel this way doesn't mean the rest of us who can use it responsibly should have to get in "heaps of trouble". It isn't a conspiracy it's just bullshit, and you realizing you don't need to smoke weed doesn't all of a sudden make it ok that 750,000 non violent drug offenders are going to prison each year, that's selfish as fuck.

 

that's my fellow jersey-an talking....word uppp!

 

and how exactly does one brainwash an ass?

 

See, you're not from jersey brother...

 

it can make people lazy if you overindulge. i only do it on weekends and its great. doesnt interfere with school and i can still get high. but as for making you dumb.. last time i check the netherlands got the highest average IQ and weeds fuckin legal there. come on now, thats just dumb right there.

 

its like anything. moderation is key. you can smoke up every evening, as long as you get all your stuff (work/study/etc) done first, knowing that once high, thee things will be far too boring to complete.

also, i can verify that it is non-addictive. I spent the last 5 months smoking about 2/3 days, and have been sober the last 4 days due to tests/assignments keeping me busy 24/7. Not a long time, but its more then enough to indicate a lack of any physical withdrawal. That said, I cant wait to finish my tests so that i can hit the bong and relax all weekend...

 

For most people it's not bad at all. But unfortunately weed is bad for some people, yes.

 

i got busted a year ago, selling pot, the only reason why pot is a problem is because the government makes it a problem, my life has been hell ever since i got caught with a stupid oz of pot, now the goverment controls me and i havnt been the same person ever since. i still smoke every day, even on probation, i love getting high. my parents are huge stoners been smoking since there early 20's and there in there mid 50's now. they have a huge 4 bed room house, 2 nice cars. 3 kids that all graduated from high school. id say weed is not all that bad some people just dont know how to handle it and be responsible with it. As for weed being bad, its only bad because its illegal!

 

I finished reading [part one of] pihkal today, and the transcript of Shulgin's lecture at the university is wonderful (and fully on topic with your post). Id suggest hunting it down, its a great eye-opener
