[QUOTE=Grim Joker;31170095]As someone who's actually had a bad experience with pot, I think I'd throw in my two cents. I used to smoke pot a lot. Not because I actually wanted to (at first), but because my friends did it. Yeah, yeah, I know, peer pressure and all that. But once I actually gave it a try, I actually felt pretty alright. I was suffering from clinical depression, and the pot really helped me. I would hang out with my friends, smoke pot, and then just find amusement in the most simple things. It gave me a good outlook on life. I always started out small, because I had only smoked pot for about two weeks, but one day I was feeling brave and smoked a lot of pot. More than my stoner friends had, by a long shot. Needless to say, it wasn't quite the same. I became convinced that nothing was real, and I was just a schizophrenic in an insanity ward, imagining my entire life as it went by. Nine hours and several panic attacks later, I came down from my high, but the feeling of surreal-ness stuck with me for weeks afterwords. I came clean with my parents (who were understanding) and asked them to take me to a therapist, as the combination of depression and overwhelming paranoia with reality was getting unbearable. I was honest with my psychologist, [B]and he thankfully kept true to the oath of keeping everything confidential[/B], and diagnosed me with depersonalization disorder. He said it was likely due to the large amount of THC I was hit by, but I likely had a predisposition for it anyways, and the feeling of being high just brought it to a front. He said it would probably fade in time, but to seriously lay off the pot and probably never smoke it again, lest I have another depersonalization attack, and perhaps hurt myself or others. That was about three months ago, and I'm finally recovering from my depression and my depersonalization, to the point where both are nearly non-existent now. My friends have asked if I would be comfortable with giving pot a try again, and I'm coming around to it, but if I do decide to take up smoking, it will be in incredibly small quantities, if at all. The moral of this story is that, while I had a bad reaction to pot, I'm not against people smoking it period. It's not for everyone, but that's true for everything on planet Earth. Some people will like it, some people won't, and I don't think people should impose their opinion on other people just because they've had bad experiences with it. Just my two cents.[/QUOTE] They're gonna tell your parent everything if your under 18, needless if they say "I swear". Got fucked over by a therapist once, fucking dick told my family everything.

Got fucked over by a therapist once, fucking dick told my family everything.[/QUOTE] Family already knew, and I was 18 at the time anyways. Psychologists are doctors, and if they feel that they absolutely have to tell your parents something for your safety, they will.
[QUOTE=sami-elite;31173921]What makes you think it's bias? Do you know the facts?[/QUOTE] He's quick to point that cannabis helping get higher conciousness.
[QUOTE=Jookia;31182581]He's quick to point that cannabis helping get higher conciousness.[/QUOTE] He kinda said it was an idea. I thought it was a bit far fetched too. But w/e. It is a possibility though. I wouldn't be so quick saying it's bias just because he mentions a theory. People thought a spherical world was far fetched too.
Man I really need a doobie now...
Do people really still say doobie??

I've been smoking marijuana irregularly for a few years. It has in no way, whatsoever, had an impact on my mental or physical health. The only difference from now and the time I didn't smoke is that now I socialize a bit more and have a lot of awesome ideas to work with. So to everyone who hasn't tried it - just do it. It's not going to lead you to harder drugs if you're a reasonably thinking and functioning person. Sure, it's not for everyone, but why not give it at least a try?
that's a lie i smoked weed and now i shoot heroin everyday
