What do you guys think about Medical Marijuana, also what do you guys think about all the things kids are being thought about how Marijuana is a terrible drug. Personally I support the smoking of weed for both recreational and medical uses, but then again, so do most 14 year olds from where I come from, what do you guys think?

Medical purposes I don't see why it isn't legal everywhere since it has cancer fighting agents but its a political thing I guess.

I dont really see why kids need Marijuana (unless for medical use) anyway.

Endure and survive... Posts: 6,726 Group: Admin Member #48 Joined: December 4, 2006	I have smoked before. Not a lot, but several times. It is not something I would ever want being a consistent part of my life. People say it isn't addictive, and I know it chemically isn't, but I have friends that can't handle going without it. I have seen it contribute to some people's laziness to a great deal. I got EXTREMELY sick after smoking once. It might have had something to do with my eating 2/3 of a bag of chocolate chips to. I ended up becoming entirely immobile. I had to be carried to the couch by some of my family. Some may think I am exaggerating, but I couldn't even raise a finger. I ended up throwing up all over the living room carpet. I had tried to turn away from the new couch as it started to happen. I rolled off the couch and into the floor. I landed in a massive puddle of my own chocolate chip puke It was terrible. My poor family had to clean up the chocolate vomit. Not the best of memories to say the least. That was the only time it did that to me though. I think its' medical benefits are greatly under-estimated. THC does wonders for cancer.

Senior Member Posts: 703 Group: Senior Members Member #969 Joined: August 26, 2012	The thing about it is that it kind of is mentally addictive. Anything and everything is mentally addictive though. The depression thing is odd because its an anti-depressent in some cases so it relieves stress but when you quit you always get depressed (happened to me last year i always got anxiety attacks and was depressed for like a month)

Your mom is a nice lady Posts: 1,957 Group: Senior Members Member #1,189 Joined: January 7, 2013	I think marijuana is very misunderstood and misconceptions are really common. It's a drug that's extremely context sensitive ( Conker quote hell yeah ) because the effect you get depends on how you're feeling at the specific moment in time, where you are, whether or not you initially have bad thoughts about it, these will all affect how your subconscious percieves the trip. I'm a fairly frequent recreational user myself, and I mean, maybe I'm just "one of those cases" but I can get really high and still go on with my day, productive as always and i keep my stuff together fine. I ( personally) think if someone gets lazy smoking weed, it's cuz the guy feels like being lazy and smoking weed ( and would be lazy without it). Most people can't even tell the difference between me and high-me. I (totally personally) think weed is a nice compliment to when I do some of my graphic work as I just have fun with it and I don't notice the time I'm spending practicing. I have alao been playing guitar for about 10 years now and I always like a little smoke before rocking some jams. I think if you percieve it cautiously or negatively right off the bat, you're not going to enjoy the effects. Marijuana is DEFINITELY not or everyone. Edited by YogurtStorm, Apr 7 2013, 08:57 PM.

Wat Posts: 556 Group: Senior Members Member #1,145 Joined: December 16, 2012	The only thing I would disagree about there is the part where it depends where you smoke it, I have smoked in some weird/scary places and I have never had a negative experience.

Your mom is a nice lady Posts: 1,957 Group: Senior Members Member #1,189 Joined: January 7, 2013	Yeah but again I think it's super relative, the experience is a case by case. I too don't ever get any of these ill effects, but I do have friends with peculiarities when it comes to smoking. One of my friends in particular seems to get ridiculously out-of-his-mind high every single time, while I'm just like: Yo... I have no ( and do not want ) active involvement in the legal aspects of recreational & medical use of marijuana. As far as I'm concerned, as long as I'm just left to my discretion and educated decisions, i don't have a prolem even with hardcore anti-weed activists. I'll just smoke one to their potential future success Edited by YogurtStorm, Apr 7 2013, 09:33 PM.

You have to remember that Marijuana can be quite harmful for a person's mental health. I've seen more cases then you can poke a stick at of people who have severe and persistent mental illnesses because they smoked to much marijuana. The marijuana of yesterday in the hippy era is different today. Hydroponically grown can have life time affects on you brain and mental health. This of course doesn't happen to everyone and everyone's story is different. I was a heavy smoker in my early 20's and used everyday for around 6-7 years. Obviously use in this amount is not recommended and you should never use everyday just for the sake of it. It took me a number of years to right the ship on myself after using that much of something, but as always there are outside influences that contribute to why your using or how much your using or even why.

The Seeker Posts: 6,189 Group: Staff (Ret.) Member #120 Joined: February 4, 2008	I'm 38 and have never willingly or purposely used it myself and never plan on it. If it wasn't for the way it made my dad an obnoxious a-hole then I never would have been in proximity of it. He used to come to my room when I was a teen and blow the crap in at me. Needless to say, I have a negative view of the stuff and I don't really give a if it doesn't do as much damage to a person as tobacco or alcohol or the harder drugs out there. I'm against all of them. BUT, I'm not here to preach at anyone. What any of you or anyone else in the world do is your decision and not mine. I think the only person I'd be disappointed to know did any drug, including this one and the other substances I just mentioned, would be my daughter. I just hope she uses her head when she's older and doesn't go overboard should she choose to partake. I consider myself to be Straight Edge, although I don't advertise it and live that lifestyle. I'm proud to have abstained from too many chemical endeavors, other than the dang fatty foods. Edited by The Red Shadow, Apr 8 2013, 05:32 AM.

Elite Posts: 4,585 Group: Legendary Member #505 Joined: May 8, 2011	never touched it but i've seen enough of my friends do it and being/becoming lazy as . I'm against it and im totally in for an enforcement law. kids dont need this to become even more lazy, they're already lazy enough nowadays. they have everything they want, they have everything right out in their hands, they barely like working or doing some effort do learn something or appreciate any kind of work done for them. yeah I have a very negative view of the next generation kids, sorry.

For celebrations with friends or parties it is much more pleasant than nicotine and alcohol, plus you cannot die from overdose or develop a physical addiction. It can be regulated just as easily as the other two substances and doing so would dramatically cut the US gov's national debt down which at this point is astronomical not to mention frightening with all the mention of last minute debt ceiling raises. The US needs to seriously start getting some revenue in that would detract from our debt, stop the war, regulate reefer, anything lol.

Established Member Posts: 54 Group: Established Members Member #1,385 Joined: April 3, 2013	Im just going to say I am from a very liberal part of Northern California. Its almost engrained in the culture here. I think its easy to sit on the fence and judge others while maintaining a certain point of view. I use it after a long day at work to reward myself for a job well done. I dont endanger anyone else and I keep it too myself. My family and most friends have no idea. You may judge me if you wish but it doesnt bother me. Live and let live I say. Peace.

Modding Monster Posts: 2,184 Group: Staff (Ret.) Member #366 Joined: September 27, 2010	I used to have a little puff here and there in my teens but only socially. Some of my mates actually still smoke it to this day and while I kinda grew out of it I do have the very occasional puff when with friends. although very very rarely drink alcohol now either as I got sick of feeling like crap the next day. Hangovers definitely get worse with age

Endure and survive... Posts: 6,726 Group: Admin Member #48 Joined: December 4, 2006	Been an interesting read. As for alcohol, I have only been drunk once in my life. I have had a light buzz a coupe of other times. I am just not a drinker. Never been the type. Tastes terrible. Beer is much worse than liquor to me for the record. I would rather have moonshine or vodka than a beer

Your mom is a nice lady Posts: 1,957 Group: Senior Members Member #1,189 Joined: January 7, 2013	That's interesting KC, I'm not much of a drinker myself but liquor is something I just can't stand. I won't say no to a rare shot like during the holidays or whatever (except tequila. never never never never again tequila), but beer is something I can drink socially with friends no problem. I think some beers actually taste rather good, but it's definitely an acquired taste. Liquor as well, and it's one I'm not so tempted to acquire

Latter-day Nostradamus Posts: 3,243 Group: Legendary Member #457 Joined: March 8, 2011	Here in the US a couple of States have started the process of legalizing marijuana for recreational use. I have no interest in it my self as I'm opposed to any form of smoking because I'd like to avoid getting lung cancer. I have nothing against weed being made legal though as I suspect such actions would help alleviate the overcrowding we have in our nation's prison system. What's funny is that here in America many non video gamers stereotype those of us who play as potheads and nothing could be further from the truth. None of my friends who enjoy video games smoke pot as our addiction is video games.

I have friends that do, and it used to really bother me when I was younger, but now I don't really care. I wouldn't want it in my house though, so I am lucky my room mate doesnt either.

Your mom is a nice lady Posts: 1,957 Group: Senior Members Member #1,189 Joined: January 7, 2013	Good for you Cooper I totally get why lots of people are put off by it and my respect for that opinion is very high ( no pun intended ). I don't however have that same respect for a few people I know who keep bugging me about it and pulling out stupid facts out of their bottoms such " Did you know 900,000 people die every year from marijuana?". I just heard that one two days ago, I just shrugged and said "I'll take my odds!" I think it's possible to live in this world with both parties respecting their respective descisions, assuming both parties are well informed and not just using PBS commercials as fact sources. Some people outright HATE me because I smoke. I don't see the immediate logic there Edited by YogurtStorm, Apr 11 2013, 03:47 PM.
