[QUOTE=Dirtbox;20238637]Yea, sometime when I'm high, I just go in the shower and I'm starting to think that I forgot my bowl or anything in the kitchen. Right after, I think that my mind tricks me or something, I hear people entering in the house so I think my parents are coming home and that they would see my stuff.
I usually talk to my-self, saying: "Dude, you're being fucking paranoid". But honestly, that doesn't change anything. =P[/QUOTE]
Paranoia can be good. Don't let yourself get too relaxed - I did once, and I left a pipe on the counter in my bathroom. Didn't work out too well for me.
You [I]"have"[/I] to smoke weed to fit in ?
Sounds like a dream.
A good one.
But in all seriousness, it sounds like weed is the answer to a lot of your problems but [quote=Punjon]Don't let yourself get too relaxed[/quote].
Just finished watching The Union. I learned a lot about marijuana, gunna give a link to my friends now.

Also, does anyone have an accurate statistic on the tar content of marijuana? I've hear that either it's 4 times worse than tobacco or 4 times better, I'm not sure which is right.

I've heard it's a lot better, but not sure the exact percent.
don't smoke maihuana, it will change your brain chemistry for life!
[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy18;20260456]I've heard it's a lot better, but not sure the exact percent.[/QUOTE]
Yeah. After doing some searching, it seems that the whole 4 times worse thing is just propaganda. The general word of it is that it has a lot less tar than tobacco and is overall a more healthy thing to smoke.
Vape it and you'll have no worries.
[QUOTE=tarkata14;20228214] [b]On the other hand, I want to try it to see if it helps with anxiety, depression, stress, etc.[/b][/quote]
Look, pot [i]will[/i] give you a better mood, but you can't be in a shitty mood when you decide to get high. As it heightens some of your senses, it can also heighten your mood if you are that involved at the time. I'm only telling you this because even though I'll never meet you, I don't want you to experience a panic/anxiety attack. You need to get baked, and just chill, giggle, and generally see life in another perspective, because this world is a drag, and pot really showed me how it is when you look from the other side of the glass.
Sorry for the rant, guys.
I believe that there is slightly more tar in weed however that's not the most damaging element of tobacco. The damaging parts of tobacco are speculated to be the polonium that breaks down from the fertilizer used on the tobacco crop. Cancer risk is probably lessened by the expectorant effect that THC exhibits and this could explain why weed smokers who are also cigarette smokers are less likely to develop cancer.

I'm not fucking touching tobacco, no worries there.
[B]EDIT: [/B]Also, CorpseRida, I'm not always depressed or in a bad mood, I just find myself that way more often then I feel I should.
[QUOTE=Micr0;20240637]Since we're on the topic of the negatives and positives of weed, I need some help. I told some of my friends that I was considering trying it and they seemed to be extremely opposed to me doing so. They pulled out the classic "gateway drug" card and that you'll get arrested and ruin your life and all that shit. So I need a reliable source that says that it's not as dangerous as the war on drugs propaganda says it is. I've tried searching it on Google but I only get sites that are strongly against marijuana or strongly for it. I need a good, reliable and unbiased study on the negatives and positives of marijuana, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm not going to try and pressure them into smoking with me, I just want them to see the truth about weed.[/QUOTE]
The Union is good, and this video:

Well.. if there is a group of people all smoking weed, a non smoking person doesn't exactly fit in.
Sure, I've got friends who don't smoke weed and they are still friends but they are not really into this whole drug scenery. You know? So it might seem odd, even scary at first. :v:
By getting into this you'll learn a thing or two for sure. Even sober.
Also, if you like smoking weed and you want to continue doing it (You can have brakes, you know), your life won't be exactly the same. You will be dealing [b]with[/b] drugs. I don't think some people see it that way.

Hiddenmist, love your avatar! Great movie.
Well, since you go to ALS, i wouldn't recommend it. But its your choice.
Personally, weed is not my cup of tea.
I know people who smoke it and are perfectly normal and you would never know.
But on the other hand, I know people who it has completely fucked up their life and they are not worth 2 shits now.
Bottom line, do it if YOU want to.
Who the fuck are you and why are you here giving drug advice?

If you're referring to DieselPowered that's a bit harsh. I couldn't have been more liberal than him if my life depended on it. "Do it if you want to" is a perfectly reasonable rule to live by in most cases.
I just have a problem with people who say things like "I know people who have fucked up their lives with pot" - especially people without any personal experience.

I see what you mean. I feel it's more of a case fucked up people tend to turn to weed as a crutch and it appears to be that the weed caused it. Still, there's definite correlation between mental illness and Marijuana use. Doesn't imply casuation, no, but strongly implies it. I believe my friend who used Cannabis a great deal for about 2 years developed a panic disorder as a result which is sad to see.
This brings us back to the psychadelic debate and weed. I think the fact that weed is mildly psychadelic means it should be treated with respect. Daily smoking is bound to cause problems if you're already mentally vulnerable. Saying that, weed is so much fucking better than alcohol and I don't see people say "I'm contemplating trying Alcohol".
I'm high on the remnants of my Methylone at the moment and should be doing uni work. God damnit, I'll amend this later.

Agreed. Blame the user, not the drug (especially when the drug is marijuana).
Marijuana doesn't make people stupid. Stupid people are just attracted to marijuana.
Marijuana doesn't make people lazy. Lazy people are just attracted to marijuana.
As for the mental illness: It's well-known that marijuana has the potential to aggravate pre-existing conditions, but it has never been proven to be the cause of those conditions. I, myself, have issues with anxiety that I'm sure have been somewhat aggravated by my marijuana use, but I would never say that it is the root of the problem. I've had problems with anxiety and depression all through my teenage years. Perhaps they're more noticeable now, but that could be attributed to a lot of other environmental factors.

It depends on how much you're smoking in one sitting. I mean, you don't really experience the psychedelic effects unless you smoke more than the average smoker would. Most casual smokers I've met just smoke to the "feeling good/relaxed" point. Me, I like to take it to the "Holy shit, I don't know where the hell I am" high.
After reading through countless articles, threads, and posts on the pros/cons of weed, I've decided that I don't give a fuck about it. If I try weed, I will. If I like it, I'll use it selectivly. My friend gave me very good advice on the supposed 'gateway' effects of weed. He said, "I closed the gate, took the key, and swallowed it", which I plan on doing too.
I'm going to a party on Friday, (Indecently the first one I've ever been invited too), and there I assume there will be weed. Again, if I try it, that's fine, if I decide not too, that's OK too. I've just realized that I've got to do something or I'm going to fucking die lonely.
I personally know many people who smoke pot/have smoke pot consistently, and are completely normal. Both of my brothers are/were potheads at one time or another, (One had a quite extravagant bong collection), and neither are different now because of it. However, I do know people that use weed or hard drugs as a crutch. Although a bit different, they don't seem 'fucked up' or 'ruined people' now.
However, I digress from this seemingly monster of a post. Hopefully something good happens on Friday, and if not, who the fuck cares.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you really think when you smoke weed people will look up to you and say "Oh see, it's a stoner, let's hang out with him, he's such a cool guy!"?
What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't do drugs if you feel "forced" to. Take them only to have a good time with mates or a good evening alone listening to music, whatever you do normally. Else you'll think you have to take it everytime to have fun with others, which makes you addicted to that feeling(depending on your will power).
I was like that back in primary school, wanted to hang out with the cool kids so I started to give a shit in school and such and ended up getting caught by the police several times. From then I changed my lifestyle(I was going to junior high school that time), I became the silent loner, but people liked me for that way. A few asked me when they got problems, because they thought I could help them or just wanted someone they can talk to. And over the time, I found a good mate and I'm starting now to improve the amount of good mates(currently it's only 2 yet).
TL;DR: Do you want to start drugs only to fit in? Doesn't sound like you'll find good friends out of that, these take time to find.
It may be that I understood your post the wrong way, just tell me if that's the case.

I'm not going to try it to fit in, but that's not to say that I don't feel left out. I have plenty of friends, but not good friends that I can hang out with on a regular basis.
You may have understood my post wrong, I'm tired as fuck and I post poorly when sluggish. I'm not doing it to fit in. If I'm offered it and I don't want to, I'll refuse. This won't be a problem, and I've been assured this by friends. I just need to wind down, I've actually been so jittery lately that I jump when people touch me.
Now, let's let that be my end all answer. I'm quite tired of answering posts similar to this, and I'd like to actually hear good things/stories of weed.
Also, the girl who invited me to this party is trying shrooms there, along with two more of my classmates. I'm really interested in seeing them trip out. I'm sticking to weed if anything and that's it, but I've always wondered what someone tripping looks like.
[B]EDIT: [/B]Woops, I missed the entire: "-people will look up to you". I seriously fucking hope nobody looks up to me. I can't stress this enough, I really hope nobody envies or looks up to me for smoking weed. I would feel like shit. Not that I know of anyone who would in any case, but still, you get my point.
Also, I really don't ever plan on possessing, buying, or selling weed. I know of quite a few people that I can smoke with at most times, and I'd like to keep the risk of getting caught low.
Do it!
I'm in the same boat as you, Tarkata. Depression, anxiety, no creativity, previously shit social life... Although I'm confused about your social status so that may or may not apply to you.
Marijuana... is amazing to me. Upon taking a nice hit I can feel my doubts and fears erased and in their place come new ideas for songs (Electronic Musician/Bassist/Keyboardist here). It even extends for 3 or 4 days after I'm high because when I'm high, funnily enough, I think straighter than when I'm sober because every thought isn't "oh god i'm a terrible human being :saddowns:" or something like that.
And regarding social life, after word got out that I (I used to have a reputation as a perfect moral angel) smoked some weed, people acted... different. I was "one of them." And now I have a large circle of great friends I can depend on when I need assistance or guidance or generally just a cheering up or stuff... So yeah, somehow it managed to help me socially as well.
It would be a good idea to do it twice. Once to learn how, and the second to feel the high. If you don't like it you won't have any trouble staying away from it after that.

Agreed, I really don't see how it could have more tar than tobacco... I mean, it's a plant.

I know tobacco is a plant too, but they add a lot of stuff in it, you know.
