I couldn't get high - General

Inhale.

[QUOTE=aridpheonix;17573665]You're ignorant[/QUOTE] That was a sarcastic remark. I used to be a huge stoner, I quit since I need to get a job(my friend says they sell synthetic urine that works pretty well though so I might try that).

Drugs are bad in the first place, and if you're not getting high off it you're stupid for buying it (And smart for quitting later)... Pretty much all your doing is scarring up your lungs >.> [editline]03:48PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;17573673]1. Can cause dependence. 2. Can cause disease. 3. Can cause brain damage. 4.

I've yet to hear about anyone being obsessed with it. Its not just relaxation obviously, or it would be no more effective than cigarettes. also you are really misinformed. people have smoked weed for years non-stop and not had a problem quitting.[/QUOTE] That's bullshit, I know quite a few people who have gotten really bad addictions to marijuana, where even going a week without smoking is extremely difficult. Saying it's not addicting is wrong.

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;17573673] 1. Can cause dependence. [b]Only for people with no self control.[/b] 2. Can cause disease. [b]Yes, it may have a chance of cancer, but so does tobacco, and it's legal.[/b] 3. Can cause brain damage. [b]The tests showing major amounts of brain cell loss, were tested on monkeys, and pumped using masks, and most of the brain cell loss was because of no oxygen.[/b] 4. Can cause memory loss.

A test also showed that the THC in weed, kills some cancer cells. Weed also has many medical uses for things like; Glaucoma, Asthma, and more.

[QUOTE=Solid.Snake;17573690] And since he isn't getting high off it anyways, there is no positive effects.[/QUOTE] It also tastes good, I would smoke weed just for the taste if it was legal, whether I got high or not.

You should go to the doctor and get that checked out.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;17573769]That's bullshit, I know quite a few people who have gotten really bad addictions to marijuana, where even going a week without smoking is extremely difficult. Saying it's not addicting is wrong.[/QUOTE] A person can only be psychologically addicted to marijuana, not physically. A person can be psychologically addicted to ANYTHING.

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;17573673]1. Can cause dependence. [B]No it can't? It's not physically addictive. It [I]can[/I] be psychologically but it's no more addictive than chicken wings or TV.[/B] 2. Can cause disease. [B]Er, what?[/B] 3. Can cause brain damage. [B]It does not cause brain damage, the study conducted on this was executed wrong and published horribly.[/B] 4. Can cause memory loss. [B]It makes it harder to remember things, only when you're high, It doesn't make you lose your memory.[/B] 5. Can increase heart rate. [B]So can caffeine, arguments and sex.[/B] 6.

[B]So does alcohol, cigarettes and again, sex.[/B] 8. Marijuana smoke contains even far more carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke. [B]Where did you get this? And if this is true, it doesn't matter, because a far less amount of weed is smoked than cigarettes, where one person would smoke a joint a day, they could also be smoking a pack of cigarettes, which would be a lot more unhealthy.[/B] 9. Trying to become un-addicted is very difficult. [B]You can't be addicted in the first place. And it's as simple as not smoking, because it's not physically addicting.[/B] Positive effects: 1. Relaxes you. [B]Makes you happy, chilled out, enjoy more things in life, see life in different perspectives, food tastes better, music sounds better, things are overall better.[/B][/QUOTE] .

[QUOTE=deathrat;17573787]Marijuana isn't physically addictive.[/QUOTE] It's mentally addictive, very very mentally addictive since it gives you such a good feeling. It's like watching TV or playing Video Games. If you do it too much you become dependent and it can become extremely hard to quit.

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;17573673]1. Can cause dependence. 2. Can cause disease. [b]No it cannot.[/b] 3. Can cause brain damage. [b]No it cannot[/b] 4. Can cause memory loss. [b]Short term, can be easily avoided in moderation[/b] 5. Can increase heart rate. [b]So? So does caffeine.[/b] 6. Can cause nausea, dizziness, confusion, agitation, anxiety, and paranoia. [b]First 5 can easily be avoided, paranoia is rare and also hereditary.[/b] 7. Can raise blood pressure. [b]Unlikely, and can be easily avoided[/b] 8. Marijuana smoke contains even far more carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke. [b]But since THC kills off all the cancer cells before they become a problem, the only downside is reduced lung capacity.[/b] 9. Trying to become un-addicted is very difficult. [b]It's not physically addicting, isn't difficult compared to any other drug.[/b] Learn you're facts before you post a substancial amount of bullshit. [/QUOTE] .

All the cool kids do drugs.

Drug discussion?

I didn't read the entire OP but I am guessing it was his first time on weed? If so it's common to not get high, smoke a few times to get high. Also, real men smoke joints made with Stride Gum paper. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=17569283&postcount=26[/url]

[QUOTE=achickennugget;17573806]A person can only be psychologically addicted to marijuana, not physically. A person can be psychologically addicted to ANYTHING.[/QUOTE] Yea, but the fact is that marijuana gives you a very good feeling, that makes it so much more addicting.

All you have to do is stop smoking it, Its just as easy as turning your computer off and walking outside for someone who is "addicted to their computer."

[QUOTE=deathrat;17573659]Most of the "negatibe side effects" you hear about are bullshit, research more and you'll see.[/QUOTE] Of course the worst negative effect it has is making you poor and a total douchebag if you smoke pot all the time and become a pot head, or do it all for the social status.

I'm not saying it's the worst thing in the world but you are lying to yourself when you say it is completely non addictive.

When I first smoked it took 4 or 5 times. Maybe your body's just not used to it, and if you try it next weekend you'll feel it again.

The pot people buy at clinics is AMAZING weed, usually much better than shit you can buy elsewhere. That's why the medical marijuana sells cookies for 20 bucks each in my city. They're amazing and extremely potent.
