some people haven't - i ask them 'why wouldn't you just for curiosity see what it's like?' but they have no interest.

"When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it. I didn't inhale and never tried it again."

hahahahaha

Wilbo · 07-12-2005, 01:07 PM

What was the question?

Machete_ · 07-12-2005, 01:07 PM

I have never even smoked a cigarette. Yes, I have been curious and I nearly did it through the vapour method last year when things were really bad for me and I needed to relax but I said no at the last minute. It just isn't something that interests me that much. It is an unknown and I am sure I would be fine but my brain is the only fairly decent functioning thing I have and I don't want to risk it.

slapass · 07-12-2005, 01:11 PM

If I didn't inhale does it count? But it put me to sleep so not sure it counts anyways.

Sly · 07-12-2005, 01:12 PM

I have just once. Drugs simply don't interest me.

LittleSassy · 07-12-2005, 01:14 PM

im clean...never had interst in them

StuartD · 07-12-2005, 01:17 PM

I tried it once... my friends out in the BC interior grow it. So I tried it right after it was done drying and such.... didn't have any effect what so ever. I didn't notice any change, never got red eyes... nothing.

So I figured I might as well just keep being the naturally weird me and let the weed smokers have more to themselves without having to share with me.

Mutt · 07-12-2005, 01:17 PM

see what i mean already? you'd be surprised how many haven't - and not talking about nerds/momma's boys - average people between 12-50.

khs · 07-12-2005, 01:18 PM

never, no interest

I do love my booze though

How does marijuna harm you smart guy? Did you no almost every single doctor in the world has nothing but good things to say about the drug. Why would they give something harmful to cancer patients? Why can you get a cannibas card in California if you have trouble sleeping, anixiety, depression or anger problems etc... The main reason its not legal everywhere is cause its hard to tax and they would have to change a lot of things.

vvq · 07-12-2005, 01:21 PM

never smoked weed. was never really friends with kids that did growing up. so it just never happened. i've been friends with dealers, but never smoked or done any drugs.

loverboy · 07-12-2005, 01:22 PM

another reason is probly cos of all the black-market cash that's made from it - and that's big business for some people.

I live in BC, Canada on Vancouver Island - it's ubiquitous here

perhaps, but at the same time, it's not smart to drive right after smoking the stuff

Also, it's not a huge stretch to see teens who've become dependant on it who can't think straight. All their sentences come out "I was like... doing something when like... I did something else"... you can just see their brains going in slow motion while their "like" talk is trying to stall for the words to come together.

SleazyDream · 07-12-2005, 01:23 PM

i tried it a couple of times - did nothing for me but i got the WICKED munchies afterwards and i don't need any help with my appitite

wtfent · 07-12-2005, 01:26 PM

Some people are so dumb. I think its funny how everyone thinks killing your liver by drinking is alright but smoking a little bong rip is bad for you. Dont you guys get it? Do your homework. We are all just brained washed from day one from everything we grow up with so we all think its bad. Even porn is more harmful to people than marijuna. A cigar is way more harmful than marijuna but yet we smoke them when a baby is born. WTF??? If you just dont want to smoke cause you dont like it or your a bitch thats cool but if you for even one second think its worst than drinking, taking vicodin, asprin, watching porn, gambling, etc... than you are a big IDIOT.

First of all, its "marijuana"
.. because it takes away some of the pain.. If you think it cures anything, then you are blatant dumb

1 - A study published in this month's United States Journal for Health (USJH) links the increasing obesity of American teenagers with stronger marijuana. The study confirms the long-held belief that smoking marijuana increases the user?s appetite. Naturally, the better the marijuana, the larger the appetite, claims the USJH. The study concludes that with more American teens smoking pot than ever before, the increased appetite, or ?munchies?, is creating an obese generation.

2 - Not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted, when a user begins to seek out and take the drug compulsively, that person is said to be dependent or addicted to the drug. In 1995, 165,000 people entering drug treatment programs reported marijuana as their primary drug of abuse, showing they need help to stop using the drug

3 - The main active chemical in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). In 1988, it was discovered that the membranes of certain nerve cells contain protein receptors that bind THC. Once securely in place, THC kicks off a series of cellular reactions that ultimately lead to the high that users experience when they smoke marijuana. The short-term effects of marijuana use include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate, anxiety, and panic attacks.

Effects of Marijuana on the Brain

Researchers have found that THC changes the way in which sensory information gets into and is acted on by the hippocampus. This is a component of the brain's limbic system that is crucial for learning, memory, and the integration of sensory experiences with emotions and motivations. Investigations have shown that neurons in the information processing system of the hippocampus and the activity of the nerve fibers are suppressed by THC. In addition, researchers have discovered that learned behaviors, which depend on the hippocampus, also deteriorate.

Recent research findings also indicate that long-term use of marijuana produces changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse.

Effects on the Lungs

Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers have. These individuals may have daily cough and phlegm, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. Continuing to smoke marijuana can lead to abnormal functioning of lung tissue injured or destroyed by marijuana smoke.

Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times greater than among tobacco smokers. This may be due to the marijuana users inhaling more deeply and holding the smoke in the lungs.

Effects on Heart Rate and Blood Pressure

Recent findings indicate that smoking marijuana while shooting up cocaine has the potential to cause severe increases in heart rate and blood pressure. In one study, experienced marijuana and cocaine users were given marijuana alone, cocaine alone, and then a combination of both. Each drug alone produced cardiovascular effects; when they were combined, the effects were greater and lasted longer. The heart rate of the subjects in the study increased 29 beats per minute with marijuana alone and 32 beats per minute with cocaine alone. When the drugs were given together, the heart rate increased by 49 beats per minute, and the increased rate persisted for a longer time. The drugs were given with the subjects sitting quietly. In normal circumstances, an individual may smoke marijuana and inject cocaine and then do something physically stressful that may significantly increase risks of overload on the cardiovascular system.

Effects of Heavy Marijuana Use on Learning and Social Behavior

A study of college students has shown that critical skills related to attention, memory, and learning are impaired among people who use marijuana heavily, even after discontinuing its use for at least 24 hours. Researchers compared 65 "heavy users," who had smoked marijuana a median of 29 of the past 30 days, and 64 "light users," who had smoked a median of 1 of the past 30 days. After a closely monitored 19- to 24-hour period of abstinence from marijuana and other illicit drugs and alcohol, the undergraduates were given several standard tests measuring aspects of attention, memory, and learning. Compared to the light users, heavy marijuana users made more errors and had more difficulty sustaining attention, shifting attention to meet the demands of changes in the environment, and in registering, processing, and using information. The findings suggest that the greater impairment among heavy users is likely due to an alteration of brain activity produced by marijuana.

Longitudinal research on marijuana use among young people below college age indicates those who used have lower achievement than the non-users, more acceptance of deviant behavior, more delinquent behavior and aggression, greater rebelliousness, poorer relationships with parents, and more associations with delinquent and drug-using friends.

Research also shows more anger and more regressive behavior (thumb sucking, temper tantrums) in toddlers whose parents use marijuana than among the toddlers of non-using parents.

Effects on Pregnancy

Any drug of abuse can affect a mother's health during pregnancy, and this is a time when she should take special care of herself. Drugs of abuse may interfere with proper nutrition and rest, which can affect good functioning of the immune system. Some studies have found that babies born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy were smaller than those born to mothers who did not use the drug. In general, smaller babies are more likely to develop health problems.

A nursing mother who uses marijuana passes some of the THC to the baby in her breast milk. Research indicates that the use of marijuana by a mother during the first month of breast-feeding can impair the infant's motor development (control of muscle movement).

Addictive Potential

A drug is addicting if it causes compulsive, often uncontrollable drug craving, seeking, and use, even in the face of negative health and social consequences. Marijuana meets this criterion. More than 120,000 people seek treatment per year for their primary marijuana addiction. In addition, animal studies suggest marijuana causes physical dependence, and some people report withdrawal symptoms.

Exactly what I thought. You are an idiot. Of course everything is going to have a side effect. How about the TV commercials selling prescription drugs and all the side effects they list? Your on here a lot are you addicted to GFY? Yes no maybe so but no more than anybody is addicted to marijuna. In life we are all addicted to stuff and its up to you to control it an moderate it whether it be sex, gambling, work or drugs. If I gamble or work to much I should layoff same goes with marijuna. They are all equally addictive. Dude is that the best stuff you can come up with?

wtfent · 07-12-2005, 02:06 PM

Ok I said I was done but Im not. You are just making yourself look like a bigger idiot. You must not know much about marijuana. I have been smoking for 5 years so I think i have a lot more room to talk.

You said "what kind of docters is that? my God.. are you retarded?"

Ask your doctor, "Doctor forget about the law for a second from a medical standpoint would you rather me smoke cigars, smoke cigaretes, drink or smoke marijuana"? Ask him, I dare you to. See what he says smart guy.

Here are your so called problems explained...

Memory and learning problems:
Yes just like if you were always drunk you would probably have some memory and learning problems and would not be able to think straight. I have been smoking for over 5 years and I know many others who have been smoking just as long. We all learn fine. Its the stupid kids that abuse it that are the idiots.

Distorted perception:
Umm thats bullshit. Again even if you do get a distorted perception it would be no worse than drinking.

Difficulty in thinking and problem solving:
Thats bullshit again. Anybody that smokes marijuana knows that your brain is way more creative when smoking it.

Anxiety:
Only people that are new to smoking experience this. Its mainly caused by fear of getting caught otherwise it calms anxiety most of the times.

loss of coordination, increased heart rate, panic attacks:
All bullshit. My friend is allowed by the state of california to smoke marijuana
because of his panic attacks. BS BS BS

now tell me that your aren't an idiot.

Nylz · 07-12-2005, 02:07 PM

Compared to the light users, heavy marijuana users made more errors and had more difficulty sustaining attention, shifting attention to meet the demands of changes in the environment, and in registering, processing, and using information. The findings suggest that the greater impairment among heavy users is likely due to an alteration of brain activity produced by marijuana.

Longitudinal research on marijuana use among young people below college age indicates those who used have lower achievement than the non-users, more acceptance of deviant behavior, more delinquent behavior and aggression, greater rebelliousness, poorer relationships with parents, and more associations with delinquent and drug-using friends.

Research also shows more anger and more regressive behavior (thumb sucking, temper tantrums) in toddlers whose parents use marijuana than among the toddlers of non-using parents.

Effects on Pregnancy

Any drug of abuse can affect a mother's health during pregnancy, and this is a time when she should take special care of herself. Drugs of abuse may interfere with proper nutrition and rest, which can affect good functioning of the immune system. Some studies have found that babies born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy were smaller than those born to mothers who did not use the drug. In general, smaller babies are more likely to develop health problems.

A nursing mother who uses marijuana passes some of the THC to the baby in her breast milk. Research indicates that the use of marijuana by a mother during the first month of breast-feeding can impair the infant's motor development (control of muscle movement).

Addictive Potential

A drug is addicting if it causes compulsive, often uncontrollable drug craving, seeking, and use, even in the face of negative health and social consequences. Marijuana meets this criterion. More than 120,000 people seek treatment per year for their primary marijuana addiction. In addition, animal studies suggest marijuana causes physical dependence, and some people report withdrawal symptoms.

Give me a break.

Uh yeah teens are getting more fat but that has more to do with lack of exercise (did you know in many schools in the USA , Phys Ed is now an elective?) and too much gaming.

Uh yeah shooting up cocaine is undisputed to be pretty goddamn bad for your heart. I think you can add in drinking or taking a mean crap while shooting up coke as being bad for your heart as well.

Uh yeah smoking pot 24/7 does lead to people being pretty duh all the time.

and finally uh yeah smoking ANYTHING while pregnant is pretty damn stupid.

You would have been better off focusing on how people who smoke too much pot tend to get nothing done and have motivation issues in their lives and careers.

Yes, I have been curious and I nearly did it through the vapour method last year when things were really bad for me and I needed to relax but I said no at the last minute. It just isn't something that interests me that much. It is an unknown and I am sure I would be fine but my brain is the only fairly decent functioning thing I have and I don't want to risk it.

So I tried it right after it was done drying and such.... didn't have any effect what so ever. I didn't notice any change, never got red eyes... nothing. So I figured I might as well just keep being the naturally weird me and let the weed smokers have more to themselves without having to share with me. __________________ This is me on facebook This is me on twitter

I think its funny how everyone thinks killing your liver by drinking is alright but smoking a little bong rip is bad for you. Dont you guys get it? Do your homework. We are all just brained washed from day one from everything we grow up with so we all think its bad. Even porn is more harmful to people than marijuna. A cigar is way more harmful than marijuna but yet we smoke them when a baby is born. WTF??? If you just dont want to smoke cause you dont like it or your a bitch thats cool but if you for even one second think its worst than drinking, taking vicodin, asprin, watching porn, gambling, etc... than you are a big IDIOT. __________________ ThisWillShockYou.com DVD Store - TWSY UNCENSORED ICQ# 194020367 E-mail: shockingbucks(AT)gmail.com Promote something different!!

wtfent Confirmed User Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: San Diego, Cali. baby!!! Posts: 3,790	Ok I said I was done but Im not. You are just making yourself look like a bigger idiot. You must not know much about marijuana. I have been smoking for 5 years so I think i have a lot more room to talk. You said "what kind of docters is that? my God.. are you retarded?" Ask your doctor, "Doctor forget about the law for a second from a medical standpoint would you rather me smoke cigars, smoke cigaretes, drink or smoke marijuana"? Ask him, I dare you to. See what he says smart guy. Here are your so called problems explained... Memory and learning problems: Yes just like if you were always drunk you would probably have some memory and learning problems and would not be able to think straight. I have been smoking for over 5 years and I know many others who have been smoking just as long. We all learn fine. Its the stupid kids that abuse it that are the idiots. Distorted perception: Umm thats bullshit. Again even if you do get a distorted perception it would be no worse than drinking. Difficulty in thinking and problem solving: Thats bullshit again. Anybody that smokes marijuana knows that your brain is way more creative when smoking it. Anxiety: Only people that are new to smoking experience this. Its mainly caused by fear of getting caught otherwise it calms anxiety most of the times. loss of coordination, increased heart rate, panic attacks: All bullshit. My friend is allowed by the state of california to smoke marijuana because of his panic attacks. BS BS BS now tell me that your aren't an idiot. __________________ ThisWillShockYou.com DVD Store - TWSY UNCENSORED ICQ# 194020367 E-mail: shockingbucks(AT)gmail.com Promote something different!!
