I don't think pot is that bad especially if you were only to do it once a week. I think a pot head would be someone that would do it more than once a week. Is a smoker someone who lights up once a week? I think cigs are way worse for you and way more addicting.

Mark

it effects all people in different ways,
like anything,

to much isnt good for you

hmmm is pot good for you in any way?...... i mean it makes you fucked up, but as well as it relaxes your body, and you don't give a fuck about anything, so i am guessing its good in some way, but bad in another............ fuck!! everything is fucking bad for you in this fucking world.....burgers are bad, sleeping to much is bad, eating to much is bad, watching tv is bad...... hmmm so i am guessing we are all bad, lol.. ......... fuck off!!:321GFY

It may be his greatest achievement.:1orglaugh

Im thinkin about making it my sig:Graucho

When the panic attacks start kicking in, it's time to put down the bong/pipe/whatever, cause your pot-smoking days are officially over then.

"OMFG I'm having a heart attack!" marijuana induced panic attacks are no joke. :(

Don't you know, smoking pot makes you a terrorist, makes you rape women, makes you shoot people, and will kill you the first time you use it. Geez don't you pay attention to commercials?

KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim. He will stagger and bobble when questioned. He will not respect your badge. The Dope Fiend fears nothing. He will attack, for no reason, with every weapon at his command - including yours. BEWARE. Any officer apprehending a suspected marijuana addict should use all necessary force immediately. One stitch in time (on him) will usually save nine on you. Good Luck. The Chief

Smoke some, find out for yourself.. Don't believe all the hype!

Hahahaa:thumbsup

:rasta

I just started pot.... and I don't care if it's bad or not, I LOVE IT!

:rasta

cool comment ?

It's not physicaly addictive, though some people enjoy it so much that they smoke all the time.

It doesn't cause any permanant changes, but like any drug can have wierd psychological side-effects if you're in a bad mood or smoke some bad weed.

Pot smoke isn't good for your lungs like cigarettes, but you generally smoke far less of it than you would tobacco.

Like anything else, use in moderation :)

Cool en esti :stoned

The only people who are really afraid of pot and who sponsor all the bullshit studies and commercials are the Alcohol companies. Budweiser would lose at least 50% of their profits if pot became legal. Just like everything else in life, if there is a controvesy I bet there is money involved.

which would you rather be?

:stoned :rasta :smokin

or

:throwup

hahahaha :1orglaugh

Uhmmm...

Pretty sure the answer is NOPE, smoking pot is not bad. The propaganda being pushed on commercials is just that, propaganda. (puff-puff)

:smokin

There isn't anything wrong with it. I quit drinking because I like pot better. I don't wake up with a headache nor do I have the sh*tz.

I'm more productive but very mellow when I'm smoking it.

Smoking pot is good for you.

smoking pot is less dangerous than driving a car on a highway, and most of us do that twice a day.

As much as I'd love to agree on conspiracies and propaganda, I can attest that too much of anything will eventually lead to problems. I know quite a few ex-pot heads that are ex-potheads because they started having bad panic attacks from it.

I also (recently) saw some statistics on marijuana related ER visits (ie people thinking they are having heart attacks :1orglaugh - I only laugh because I've been there, and I was no MJ lightweight.) next to alcohol related ER visits and it was like 3 to 1 or something.

I'll try to dig up the source a little later this afternoon if this thread is still alive.

But the bottom line is, marijuana can be just as bad for many people as it is 'good' for others

well i'll let you read my sig and draw your own conclusions on where i stand.

In terms of what? Instant death?

:1orglaugh whatever.


Marijuana Related Emergency Room Visits

Visits to hospital emergency departments, because of marijuana
use have risen steadily during the 1990s, from an estimated
16,251 visits in 1991 to 76,870 in 1998. Since 1998, the number
of marijuana mentions during emergency department visits have
been approximately equal to the number of heroin related visits.
According to projections for 1999, marijuana was mentioned in an
estimated 79,088 drug related ER visits, compared to an estimated
77,099 heroin related visits. Cocaine continues to be the
illicit drug responsible for the most emergency department
visits, accounting for a projected 154,959 visits in 1999.



Like I said, I know for a fact that they aren't bullshitting. People DO wind up in the ER from pot. And usually it's not first-time lightweight users either.

You should be hurled off a cliff

Don't get me wrong though. I used to looooooooove bud. I would smoke daily though, and probably a bit too obsessive about it. And then one day, my body just said "hey wtf! no more of this stuff or I'll make you pay." and from there it was like I had an allergy. Believe me, I didn't want to give it up.. I tested quite a few times before finally giving it up :)


Another thing pot will do is lower your testosterone levels.... then when you quit smoking for awhile, they'll surge back up and you'll want to smash people/places/things to bits unless you get your fix. Long time pot smokers will agree to this too I'm sure. :1orglaugh

Uh.. why?

Google search for marijuana and panic


Yeah.. I'm the only one :1orglaugh

The quotes below are From here


"The shadow magus" sais:
Hello, I am 18 caucasian male and I first smoked up when I was 16 years old. I had a *massive* panic attack and could not calm down until the affects of marijuana wore off (I'd smoked an entire gram of 'kind bud' through a home made bowl). The high lasted over 2 hours and I couldn't even move or think about anything. I was literally vegetative.

My friend also smoked up and experienced this panic attack for the entire duration he was stoned (he was in school and had smoked a joint)

Despite my trauma I continued to smoke up. I seemed to be more sensitive than other people to pot, and after a few hits of high grade leaves I would start to feel the affects, and noone would believe me when I said I was already feeing the affects vividly.

I have continued to experience these panic attacks, but they only seem to last for 5-15 minutes after which I zone out and come down a bit. I don't like them, I always feel like I'm dying or breaking down.

The other day I thought of something. Both me and my friend have been diagnosed with ADD, have been on Riddilin. I am also a suffering of depression. I was wondering if any of these had to do with my panic attacks?

Also, I would really like to know what causes them, ande what can help me through them so I can enjoy the affects of cannibus without having to worry about getting freaked out.

Thanks.


"Krownanjula" replies:

Well i got the EXACT same feelings until one day my dad told me that im a fuking moron for panicing and its all in my head....(i have ADHD and used to take ridalin) so... all u gotta do is get stoned and just ignore the panic-feeling because u can be having a good time just by believing that ur ok...

If this sounds dumb its not and it worked for me




Well shit! There ya go - problem solved. :thumbsup

I was gonna go to work, but then I got high

I was gonna smoke a joint, but then I got high

I was gonna play this song, but then I got high

LOL

CmacDubz420 sais:


hey whats up.. i'm also 18, white male.. anyways.. the past few times when i've smoked pot, i've paniced my ass off. it was terrible.. i had the worst feeling i had ever experienced in my whole entire life. everything would make me panic...i couldnt really explain it.. i think it was just the fact that i couldnt think straight and that worried the crap out of me. and plus when i was high, i think i got really insecure. it used to be the exact opposite though.. i used to smoke pot and feel on top of the world, untouchable, but then it drastically reversed itself. then i started experiencing anxiety after the fact of being high. it was fucked up.. neways... its all good when smokin pot, its fun as hell and everythings crystal clear, but if you think to much, ur gunna confuse the shit out of ur self, and that can cause worrying, which leads to panicing. just realize that ur under the influence of a drug too.. anyways, i talked to much, peace



That's basically how it goes down. One you start "thinking too much" you start getting panic attacks. Now if we could only find some faster ways to kill our brain cells so we wouldn't be able to think so much it would be all good. Ahh alcoholism!

It appears there are many options for a solution to this little marijuana induced panic problem after all.

What about pot's effects on motivation and short term memory?

What I think is that uh, well... that's a cool song that just came on, I think I'll head out for some lunch and then hit the gym. Ah sportscenter is on, cool.

I smoke pot everyday and have been for about the past 4 years. Except I quit for two months late last year due to a friend betting me $2000 I couldn't do it.

I work about 10 hours/day and make bank, I've yet to see any noticeable effect on my motivation or memory.

Stay away from shwag and you'll be fine.

Smoking anything is bad for your health.

It's better to smoke a joint every weak than a pack of cigarettes or enough alcohol to make you drunk, thats for sure. I've read articles that too much weed is bad if your mind is still developping, when you're under 20yrs or so. You can develop an unhealthy psyche. But that's if you're a full time smoker, like several joints a day or so.

It's like with alcohol. Get drunk every other day and it will cause permanent damage. It's just that pot, on a long term, causes a bad short term memory and stuff. And alcohol causes brain damage! Which sounds worse to you?

And as for the panic attacks, I used to get them too. Never when I smoked with friends or in a coffeeshop (I live in Holland), because I was around other smokers and potheads. When I was at home, I did have panic attacks almost every time. But everyones panic attacks are about something. Mine were about: oh fuck I gotta get sober in 4 hours, my parents get home. Or: Shit, I think I rolled too much, I better not go knock-out.

I never have that when I'm with friends. They are stoned too and I know we're all gonna be fine. So I guess it's indeed only in your head. Hell, change your friends if they are all like: oh damn this is so bad, I feel terrible, don't you? Cuz offcourse you will when they are like that.

And yes, alcohol helps, makes you even care less :)

Oh ya, I forgot I smoked weed! Thanks for reminding me.

most all pot effects that are detrimental to your health such as, tar in your lungs, lack of motivation, short term memory loss and mental diseases such as drug psychosis, increased rates of schizophrenia and addiction, are all attributed to chronic long term use. Basically, when you smoke every day you don't give the thc time to leave you body as you're upping the level all the time, it CAN, but mostly doesn't lead to these things.
Doctors recommend smoking once every two weeks to keep it at a physical and mentally healthy level. That is moderation.

You little devil.....now that´s what I call rebellion.

Smoking Pot is not bad.......just don´t inhale :1orglaugh

DynaMite

So what if instead of smoking 3 ounce once per week....I spread
that out over everyday.....so that I smoke the same amount
I would normally smoke as once per week......would that be
good?

DynaMite :eek7

no :)
