[QUOTE=yawmwen;17573925]You've obviously never seen someone with a heavy addiction to computer or tv.[/QUOTE]
People that are heavily addicted to their computer or their TV have psychological problems, and it's not the fault of marijuana.
[QUOTE=deathrat;17573949]When they say that, they mean physically, it may be mentally addictive, but that depends on the person, and it also means that if they're mentally addicted to it, then they made their choice to use it, besides the few negative effects.[/QUOTE]
I agree, there is nothing physically addicting about marijuana. However anything that causes you to have a good feeling can be extremely addicting mentally.
it'd be stupid to say weed isn't addictive. i'm sort of addicted to it, I don't really like not smoking weed. but it's the exact same way for my video games and everything else i do to have fun
it all depends on the individual really for how 'addictive' it is and how hard it is to quit
[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;17573473]Seriously, what's with so many people being obessed with smoking pot? It's a fucking drug that has multiple negatibe side effects, and few if any good effects, except for a very temporary feeling of relaxation. Good thing you decided to quit.[/QUOTE]
There's obviously a reason people smoke weed, nobody is any more obsessed with it than playing video games, playing sports, watching TV, listening to music or posting on Facepunch. It's just something you do, socially or not, and it enhances a lot of the previously mentioned activities. The "negatibe" effects you're talking about are all bullshit scare tactic propaganda you've gobbled up without a second though.

No, they just don't take it in moderation. Everything good in the world has to be taken in moderation, including marijuana.

I smoked weed every day for over a year, and dropped it instantly, you don't see me flippin' nuts for some weed.
I agree that certain things should be taken in moderation, but a vacation never got anyone addicted, and neither has weed, it's [B]habit forming[/B] but absolutely not addicting.

How do you mistake the two though? I've tried using it to mask the smell of weed when I was cooking it in my house, but it never worked, they smell completely different.
Man that totally blows. Wish though you posted in dd at least we won't give you shit and give false facts like above. I have never met a person that toked 20+ and still felt like standing. Only real conclusion I can figure is that you're not inhaling correctly, but you said you have smoked before. So I have no idea, sucks to be you I guess.
OP, did you take any other drugs (this includes meds) that day? Most of the time people get really high after not smoking for a long period.
And now to jump on the bandwagon
[code]1. Can cause dependence.
2. Can cause disease.
3. Can cause brain damage.
4. Can cause memory loss.
5. Can increase heart rate.
6. Can cause nausea, dizziness, confusion, agitation, anxiety, and paranoia.
7. Can raise blood pressure.
8. Marijuana smoke contains even far more carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke.
9. Trying to become un-addicted is very difficult.[/code]
[code]1. Everything can, drugs or not. Cannabis dependance is by far less worse than other common used drugs.
2. What? Which one? Oh wait, you just pulled that out of your ass.
3. Wrong, recent US studies show THC could even protect the brain from alcohol use.
4. Only temporary and this depends on the person using mostly.
5. Again, this doesn't occur every time and it's temporary. Most of the times it's all in people their mind. I once thought my heart was racing after toking up but after checking my pulse with a clock I measured it wasn't any higher than 80.
6. Nausea? THC surpresses this, people who need to swallow a whole meal of pills are glad they cans moke a joint and not puke their guts out.
Dizzines? Only temporary if you've got a weak tolerance.
Agitation, anxiety, and paranoia? Nope, Cannabis contains not only THC but also CBD, CBN and many other canabinoids. CBD is even classified as an antipsychotic.
Confusion? Temporary.
7. THC dillates your arteries so this is also bullshit.
8. Nobody cares. It's 2009 buddy, every 'stupid stoner' knows how to use a vaporizer and bake their own cakes. The reason people keep smoking is because it's a cheap and effective way to get high.
9. Nope, you try to find a 'Cannabis addict' who's willing to suck your dick for a dimebag. You can't find one.[/code]
I need a toke now. :350:
And put this in DD nex time please, GD doesn't like us 'druggies'.

1. Can cause dependence. [B]Any legal drug can do that too. The "depenance" caused by marijuana is purely one caused by habit, and can be broken by somebody with any shred of discipline.[/B]
2. Can cause disease. [B]Find me something that doesn't.[/B]
3. Can cause brain damage. [B]Anything that potentially involves holding your breath for longer than 10 seconds can cause brain damage.[/B]
4. Can cause memory loss.[B] Yes, memories that you have while under the influence. Alcohol does this too, but that's legal.
[/B]
5. Can increase heart rate. [B]Caffine does this too.[/B]
6. Can cause nausea, dizziness, confusion, agitation, anxiety, and paranoia. [B]Half of prescribed medicines do that stuff too, those effects only happen to a few people, and they aren't lethal effects, like some prescription (or non prescription) medicines might have.
[/B]
7. Can raise blood pressure. [B]So does salt, we'd better stop eating that.[/B]
8. Marijuana smoke contains even far more carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke. [B]Minus the other handful of lethal additives that are in cigarettes.

9. Trying to become un-addicted is very difficult. [B]What addiction?[/B]
Positives:
1. A feeling of relaxation
[B]
2. Acts as a minor painkiller, good for treatment of painful diseases or conditions.
3. Can act in place of many other modern prescription drugs used to treat various symptoms, without all the real vicious side effects that many prescription drugs bring along with them.[/B]
[B]
4. Is easy to produce, any waste from the process can be composted. It's economically viable.[/B]

All the ammonia and tar and whatnot, along with carbon monoxide is easily dealt with by using a vaporiser
Becoming unaddicted to LSD is hard too.
Anyhow if you're really so fucking scared of weed, just buy THC tablets.

conservatives are distinguished from libertarians in that they are not socially libertarian, they place many explicit moral values on things and believe they should be legislated.
marijuana use is one of those moral issues to conservatives.
their name alone implies the kind of ideology it is

everyone here who has smoked weed is defending it in some way or another
people who haven't experienced it are attacking it

Everyone should smoke weed.
Height and weight have nothing to do with it, I am a chronic smoker (lol) and have been for about a year. I weigh ~215 and I'm 6'4". What methods did you use? Did you inhale the smoke? Try a bong or a gravity device. Works for me, you're doing it wrong, etc.

Fucking AGREED.
:350:
[QUOTE=Kappa169;17574585]Everyone should smoke weed.[/QUOTE]
i'm guessing you're the latter but yes
:weed:
I will have to agree that there is some addiction to it, I've smoked quite a bit for a couple of years now. Yes I do crave it from time to time, but that is just it, a craving. Kind of like how you would crave chocolate. It is no where nearly addictive as some of the other stuff out there. Like Caffeine for instance, we all know that person who cannot function without their daily fix of caffeine in coffee.
Cigarettes are far more addictive, my best friend can't go an entire day with out loosing his mind if he doesn't get a cig. Personally, I have never in my life smoked a single cigarette, I don't want to get addicted.
Plus, were forgetting what real addiction is. To put things in perspective, I would never give a BJ to get some bud. A heroin/crack addict, now that's a different story.

Weed ranks as the lowest risk.

This is true. When I stopped drinking caffeinated beverages, for about two days I was miserable as hell, I had a headache, I felt this strong physical urge to go grab a pop or an iced cappuccino or something. It was hard. I can't even imagine what smokers/heroin users go through.
I've never once felt like I needed to smoke weed. I smoked three times this weekend, yet Monday and today I feel absolutely no desire to smoke at all.
Oh, the part at the beginning of your paragraph isn't true, at least not for me personally. I don't smoke that heavily though. Once a week average.

Nah. It was very easy for me to quit.
[QUOTE=aridpheonix;17573867]Um, no. Stop acting like you know shit about weed. It's extremely easy to quit. 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]
Exactly.
My friend put it pretty well:
"Whenever I can't dip, I think 'I NEED DIP OR I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL SOMEONE'.
Whenever I can't smoke weed, I think 'Dang, I sure could go for some weed right now.'"

I know, that's why I said they were similar. The difference is that they believe in conserving more tradition. Marijuana, however, is not as big of an issue with Conservatives.
