[QUOTE=zach1193;42349445]There's really nothing wrong with smoking everyday as far as I see. Sure there's the small issues you mentioned, like occasional coughing and mucus, but that's really as far as it goes, he's not gonna just drop dead any day soon from smoking weed daily. Now if he's fucking up his life, missing work, being anti social, then you can maybe put it by him, but other than that if he's still doing just fine for him, it's none of your business or his girlfriend's. If she doesn't like that he smokes everyday then break up with him, it's what he wants to do and no one can force him to stop, he has to decide for himself it's the right thing to do.[/QUOTE] If you start smoking so much pot you lose a girlfriend something is wrong in that picture Fair enough if you smoked every day before you got the girlfriend but its not the same in this case
[QUOTE='[My username.];42350100']If you start smoking so much pot you lose a girlfriend something is wrong in that picture Fair enough if you smoked every day before you got the girlfriend but its not the same in this case[/QUOTE] A girlfriend isn't shit, especially if you're a teenager. If they're gonna break up over something stupid like smoking weed, then she deserves to be single. Everyone who smokes occasionally thinks that you get as high as them when you smoke everyday, but it's not like that when you smoke frequently, you aren't getting super blazed everyday, it's just a way to relax and at least in my experience a more positive perception on things. You can still function fairly normal if not completely normal.
I was smoking weed daily before I got my first proper girlfriend and I stopped smoking whilst I was with her except the last few weeks before I broke up with her. I then proceeded to smoke erry'day for a year and a bit after the breakup. I also started doing tonnes of drugs on the weekend whenever I could. In some ways having a girlfriend made me much more responsible but meh, my new GF takes speed all the time so she makes me even worse. :v:

Some people cant handle their shit if they smoke everyday and they do change for the worst.

Now if he was taking opiates or meth all the time, there'd be reason for concern. But as far as health goes, there should be no concern and I have a feeling it's one of those deals where the concerned party has little to no experience in the drug field and, although is tolerant to an extent, still has the "war on drugs" stigma looming over their thoughts on the subject, causing them to think "Well what if it does do all these awful things?" and considering it's someone they care about, they'd rather not risk it. Really though that's just the problem, people always want to "help" someone when they aren't asking for it, if he has an issue, if he cares about them as much as they care about him, he'll ask for help and guidance when he needs it. If he's depressed, weed is gonna beat any anti depressant though and seeking help in that field may just put him through the gauntlet of ssri's and the like, and depending on perspective, putting him in a worse situation than the one he was previously in.
[QUOTE=huntingrifle;42347734]Hey guys, I have a problem and I can't figure out how to help for the life of me. My friend is an avid pot smoker. He got caught with a couple times, but nothing really major. The only problem is, he smokes at least once a day, every day. Personally, I don't know what the consequences are of doing it so frequently are, but what I can tell is that he's coughing up what I think is mucus and other stuff among those. I can understand that he likes smoking, but a lot of people, including his girlfriend, are telling him that it's not good that he smokes so often, and he pulls the typical "know-it-all college kid" routine by responding with the rant explaining how pot is not bad for you, but nowhere does he mention anything about frequent use. I'm saying he should quit, I just want him to cut down for his health, and because his girlfriend (who is a close friend of mine) is visually upset by his smoking habits and hates his know-it-all attitude about almost everything (which I could say did probably come from his pot use, since he wasn't like this when he smoked less frequently). Does anyone have any good advice on getting him to cut down, even if it takes a long time? Or something that his girlfriend can do to get him to cut down? I should mention that she's too afraid of losing him if she decides to take action against his frequent smoking.[/QUOTE] Is he smoking it with tobacco? If so then that's probably more of a problem than the weed? Unless he has a history of psychological disorders then the he should be ok for the moment, if he keeps it up it will be harder to quit and he will loose more than just his girlfriend. Everything should be done in moderation!

Maybe he's changing because he's a growing human being, whos developing his own thoughts and ideals on things, and maybe he just happens to smoke weed along with that? [editline]30th September 2013[/editline] Let the guy be, if his girlfriend doesn't understand it who cares, its his own choices. That's like trying to change someone because they play video games all the time. Sure, maybe its not YOUR ideal of healthy, but its what he wants, and he's not harming anything, and i doubt hes harming himself. smokes once a day.... pfftt...
I'll clear up a few things, then. 1. I said he smokes AT LEAST once a day, he usually more than that, I just don't want to give a wrong estimate. 2. He smoked maybe once a month before they dated, and then about a month or so into their relationship is when he began going to a daily routine, which is where, in the girlfriend's words, "He puts down all my opinions about everything, even my morals". She doesn't care that he smokes because it makes him happy, she hates that he became a totally different person as soon as he started smoking daily. 3. I'm not saying we all think he'll one day just drop dead because of smoking, but all his close friends have been telling him that he's coughing and wheezing so much to a point that he seems like a person who's been smoking cigarettes for years, and he doesn't smoke cigarettes. I've known him for 8 years, and he's never acted like the know-it-all asshole; he was always accepting and understanding about basically everything. It's just too weird and sudden for him to go from 8 years of being a good guy to being an asshole, especially to his girlfriend, who loves him too much to want tot break up with him. EDIT: To be honest, I haven't spoken to him in the past 6 months (which is right around where the two of them started dating), but this is mostly according to her. She asked me to talk to him about it (having known him for so long and being a close friend of both of them), to which he treated me like shit. I'm upset that he came off as an asshole, but in all honesty I'm more concerned for his girlfriend, who he treats pretty badly (long story short, verbal abuse). I have never seen her cry until about 2 months ago because he called her stupid among other things in front of his friends. I mean, I'm not a doctor, but the only thing in his life that's changed between him being an awesome guy to an asshole is his smoking habits. I don't know what else it would attribute to, is the thing.

As far as his girlfriend goes, if she doesn't like what he's like, explain to her that she needs to grow the fuck up and ditch his ass if they're not compatible and if his personality changed, that's a separate issue altogether as far as the weed use goes. Drug doesn't make a personality, your personality decides what drugs you enjoy. To be honest though man, all you've said about his personality is that he's a "know it all asshole", which really isn't that awful of a character trait, it describes pretty much any teenage/college student, and you haven't really said anything bad about him, like if he was always putting people down and ACTUALLY being an asshole, stealing, those type of things. I'm only trying to clearify the situation though, so please don't take anything I'm saying in an attacking manner, but from what you've given me, I really don't see anything wrong with the situation, just two incompatible people.
Sounds like people are trying to find a scapegoat for him acting like an asshole. That and maybe his GF was all goo-goo eyes and now that she's become more aware of what's he's really like (or he has finally allowed his true self to show after establishing a relationship) things are not going well.

You need to take into consideration for example, why has he started smoking so frequently? And why do you think he's taken such a personality change recently? Seems to me like he could be undergoing some serious stress and possibly depression from school, family issues, or other personal problems that he isn't telling you. You and this girl should probably stop blaming weed and take a look at the whole picture here. Could weed be the problem? Possibly. But it sounds unlikely in this case. Heavy weed use generally doesn't make you into an unpleasant person. How about sitting him down and asking him why he's been such a nuisance lately, and try not bringing up marijuana. Instead, ask if he's having any stress related issues at home or in school, and ask if that stress is being worsened by his frequent pot use. Suggest that he tone his use down a notch and see if that helps him.
[QUOTE=AaronTAB;42352950]it could also fucking kill you[/QUOTE] It's definitely going to kill you if you don't use a solvent. Paracetamol doesn't dissolve very well at all hence CWE's existence.
He might just wanna break up with her, but wants her to do it first.
Just made a waterfall bong yesterday, Check out my videos, [URL="http://www.youtube.com/soldier9128"]http://www.youtube.com/soldier9128[/URL]
Alright, I'm sure this gets asked all the time, but I can't find the question or answer anywhere on this forum. What are some reputable paraphernalia websites people use? I'm looking to buy a bong and I remember hearing that grasscity (only online headshop that isn't sketchy as fuck) is a joke. Anyway I'm looking to buy a small glass bong, I've already read Poo Monst3r's thread on bongs, I'd appreciate any input y'all have.

[QUOTE=TCB;42348873]i'm pretty sure weed smoke is carcinogenic[/QUOTE] I love how people actually disagree with this post. I'm certain any smoke inhaled is cancerous...
[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;42357458]I love how people actually disagree with this post. I'm certain any smoke inhaled is cancerous...[/QUOTE] The study posted in either the lounge or here said that it was. It said that it also was far less likely to give you cancer than tobacco smoke because it had certain carcinogenic inhibitor-type things in it and reduced cancer presence in other areas. But any sort of smoke inhalation is a heavy lung-tissue irritant and most can cause cancer. Tobacco smoke was said to be far worse than any other type of smoke though because it had something in it that encouraged the development of cancerous cells from precancerous cells. Really, go find that link and read it, it was highly educational, though I seem to have forgotten everything.,
It's really a notion of common sense. Ad don't give me the bullshit about how common sense doesn't exist. You are inhaling smoke, carbon monoxide, ash.... FUCKING SMOKE! You know how most people die in fires? SMOKE INHALATION! Inhaling smoke into your lungs is bad for you. I dunno what the fuck would make weed an exception. Weed doesn't have magical fairies in it. Just because its pot doesn't change the fact that what it emits when set on fire is still smoke.
All smoke is not necessarily carcinogenic
Yeah like plastic smoke. I dunno, the fumes anything gives off on fire is carcinogenic or something else just as bad. Just think about what smoke is for a second... Then think about your lungs as an organ, what their function is and how they function. Taking all that into account its safe to assume smoke going into your lungs is always going to b bad for them.

Just wanted to clarify that for the guy who rated me dumb
I'm fairly certain the list of things which can burn and give off smoke that isn't carcinogenic is so small it shouldn't even be taken into consideration. Least that's how I look at it. And really it's the truth. Exhaust given from something burning is always going to contain carcinogens. That's what smoke is, it's exhaust. [editline]30th September 2013[/editline] Basically carbon monoxide.. /debate

I bought a 9 inch glass mini zong from there back in July and it's held up fine ever since. I've even dropped it a couple times and no cracks. [t]http://i.imgur.com/4ipBAri.jpg[/t] One on the left. Only cost me 15 bucks. (was half off) Shipped in about 3 days too, good deal. Not the best quality obviously but you get what you pay for. I wanted a cheap reliable bong that I could hide easily and I got it.
I'm now dry, and without a guy, having just moved 100 miles. Anyone got any tips or suggestions on how to remedy this kind of thing? I've heard of asking a Pizza guy before or something like that and have heard rumors about a certain shop keeper near me though I don't dare ask.
Eh asking a pizza guy might be worth it. It's a crapshoot cause you dunno who's going to be delivering. It's probably a good idea to give them extra for a tip as well if they help you out. You may even make a new friend that way. [editline]30th September 2013[/editline] Or rather as you hand them the tip ask the question so you get the answer before you give away the money, and they possibly pick up on what's going on. Though I'd only do that if I had money to spare cause god knows people would scam the shit out of a person like that. It's probably best to keep the incentive for some good info clandestine but make it a remote possibility in their mind.

Better to ask someone who's smoking a cigarette to bum you one then strike up casual conversation.
