it may not kill you (well actually i think it does, but according to you, no), but it fucks up your brain. no addiction my ass, you do it once, find it fun/cool, do it again, to the point it becomes a habit. damnit im your age and im clean, i know friends that tried smoking once, they became full time ones and are having a hard time quitting. I know one guy who did it once, it fucked him up, his parents had to immediately fly him back to their home (he was in a different city), on the flight back home, he had to be held down by his parents and flight attendants because he kept going nuts. he has to get treatment to get him back to normal, and even after, he wont be fully back to being healthy, and has to get therapy once a week and take medication.

Ok...I know for a fact weed doesnt make you go nuts if you do it once. Weed is not crack, cocaine, angel dust or anything like it.


I mean, how many people actually died from weed comapred to ciggarets, crack cocaine, and other strong drugs like acid.

I already posted why... Its because I want to try and see what it's like. Health teacher even said, its nothing compared to drugs like cocain, he even said that if you call weed a drug, you should call ciggaretts a drug. I said weed shouldn't even be a drug.

And how many people died from weed compared to people who havn't done it? Well I don't think there's a big difference.

Is there a difference? If there is, then that's a reason not to. Why do I get the feeling this has something to do with peer pressure?

And how many people died from weed compared to people who havn't done it? Well I don't think there's a big difference. I mean, ok... if someone smokes it like 4-5 tiems a week for a long time then yes, it kills more than people who don't smoke. But I am planning on only smoking once in a while, and I am saving up (not for weed, but for future purposes like new computer or something for my parents, or if my parents need a loan then I'll give it to them), and I am only planning on buying a dime bag, and that's like nothing.

drunkmofo123, they call it a drug because it gives you a high. But compare it to alcohol and ciggaretts. Alcohol kills A LOT more than weed does, and so does ciggaretts. And the reason why ciggaretts is not a drug, is because they are addictive, making people buy more once they get addicted, and teh government is making mad money off that. And like I said before, smoking it once doesn't kill you. It doesn't make you "go nuts" either. You said your friend needed his parents and flight attendace to hold him down because he was going nuts, but the thing is, weed probably wasn't the thing that caused it, it was probably another drug like crack or heroin (you might be saying, "Damn you don't know my friend so don't say shit") but I'm just guesssing.

So what I am trying to say is, I am not going to smoke to death, or smoke till im freaking sick, because its more of a once a month or once a month and 1/2.

But have you had alcohol?? at all?? liek to drink, liek beer, wine and so on...

And trust me this has nothing to do with peer preasure, because like I said, I am doing it in my own time and in my own place, so I am not gonna smoke with my friends or anything, because half of them don't. And I am 100% going to smoke where no oens around, likea park, because its like winter right now and no one goes there (well atleast not the park I am talking about).

So liek I asked, have you had alcohol?

I did, only once. I'm not sure whether I will again or not.

Again, I think you really need to consider the fact that it's illegal. Doesn't that matter to you?

Well ok, so you admit to have had alcohol, and so if you are under the age of 21 (I am pretty sure you are). So underage drinking is illegal, and I am guessing you drank once because you wanted to taste it, you wanted to know how good or how bad it tasted and if you enjoyed it. Well I am kinda doing the same thing.

Getting weed off a friend is kind of different than receiving a drink from a family member at a party (I think that's how Cable Guy got it)

Well, no actually. It wasn't illegal because I was in a private residence with my parents permission, as well as them being there. I did have it to know what it was like, but the difference is when I'm 21 I can drink legally, as can you, so I would probably have eventually had it anyway, and it would be legal. Weed will never be legal no matter how old you are, so it's not like you can try it now and then if you like it use it legally later.

But I am buying it..... and yeah you have a point, it is different.

But what I was trying to say is, trying something that is illegal art your age is the same. Alcohol kills more than weed. I was jsut trying to prove that.

Me trying weed doesn't guarentee that I am going to be a pot head or an addict and neither does drinking alcohol once. My point is, doing someting once won't get you hooked, because weed and alcohol wont fgive you a craving unless you do it WAAAAAAAYYY too much, like 2 hoints a day for a week, or like 1-2 beers a day for a week.

Crap, I forgot to quote Jugs.

Damn right :hump:

Seriously though, you're right (even though it was legal for me to drink), I can only hope once you try it you won't want to do it again.

I'd like to know how your Health teacher became a Health teacher, because cigarettes are drugs. Alcohol is a drug. It's not about something being considered a drug or not, substances like marijuana, alcohol, cocaine etc are called drugs because they can be classified as such according to a clear definition.

Anyway, ultimately it's your choice. That remark just caught my eye as it sounded more like something an art teacher would say rather than a Health/PE teacher.

Don't listen to these choir boy goody-no-shoes-because-i-donated-them-to-the-poor types. If you want to do it, do it. Enjoy your life, otherwise you'll end up like Dweaver eating raw eggs and boiled chicken for every meal just so you have a little bit of muscle on your body.

As Andrew said, it's your choice. I've smoked weed before, many times, I was never remotely near being addicted and I've suffered no consequences from it (yes, I was this messed up before I smoked). Everyone's different, you won't die from one joint.

As air gordon said, get a bong. It's better than smoking it like a cigarette.

In fact, you get to like it with time.

(For the record - I ate four hard boiled egg whites and a banana for my last meal. Coming next: chicken with cabbage and a salad with egg whites.)
