Just wondering who tokes up out there. I do. It helps me to relax and facilitates my abstract though process.

:yt I've smoked ganja for years. It's one of the few non-sexual vices I have. I'm proudly doing my part to subvert the national War on Drugs.

I don't feel like breathing smoke from anything intentionally, and especially not something that smells so bad. Uuughhh!

Ah, but there are other ways, as IT mentioned...IMO, the best way to get high of ganja is via baked brownies...no bad taste or smell. No lingering smoke or tell-tale ganja odor. :mrgreen: I've got a nice recipe if you're interested.

You could always drink bong water....but I doubt that's really healthy. I hear it makes a great laxative though.

Bong water is nasty! It will make you higher than 6 hippies, however. The times I've drank bong water, it was mixed in with Hawaiian Punch. That helped with the foul taste.

One of my favorite raggae songs:

"I smoke two joints morning;
At night I smoke two joints.
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints;
And then I smoke two more.

I smoke two joints in times of Peace;
And two in times of War.
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints;
And then I smoke two more."

You mean you intentionally drank it? :shock: I've seen someone get paid to drink it for some amusement, but this is a kid who also took $2.50 to get shocked by a cattle prod for a minute.

I'm not sure thats possible, given that THC is not water soluble. There's only ash in that water...

Try tea instead, with either honey, milk or butter.

No thanks. Drugs just aren't my thing, especially not illegal ones. I even limit my OTC usage though. I do drink some but I was definitely a light social drinker even before I got pregnant. Heck, the waitresses at my favorite bar didn't realize I was pregnant until I started to show because I would come in even before I found out and only drink pop and/or water some nights.

My husband says it's because I'm naturally high most of the time anyway.

I don't even smoke cigarettes, so ofc I never smoke weed.

B4 I had weed-smoking friends, I thought u can be addicted to weed. U can't, THC isn't addictive like cigarettes r. And I thought weed users space out like alcoholics do and r not aware of what happened. Again, that was false. They retain full memory and r very aware of what happened.

I also thought weed is harmful. Weed is actually good for brain activity esp neurons which explains why so many of my friends who use weed daily r actually very creative and brainy.

Still then, most of what I know of weed comes from my friends. One of them is a best friend of mine and he *wakes and bakes* daily. He is ingenious and creative, and told me he can stop smoking weed anytime he wants to, it isn't addictive at all. He buys *white widow* at USD400 an ounce which is very expensive compared to the mexican **** which he says u can get at USD400 a pound but tastes like ****. Somehow being seedless and stemless is impt in buying the right type of weed.

We often discuss drugs. He is for drug legalization of marijuana and once asked me would I smoke weed if it was free. I said I won't. He used that to show the weed usage won't go up if weed is made cheaper and more available by drug legalization. The black markets for weed would go, ppl won't die from OD of drugs if drugs were legalized and sold in pharmacies.

Over time, I also support drug legalization too. Ofc, suffice to say, we r both Libertarians.

I don't smoke cigarettes, never have, but have smoked pot a few times.

 

[mikhail]

I never inhaled several times and on different occasions.

 

[Trinity]

heh, never smoked, u name it, cigarettes, tobacco or weed. Never have, never will.

Know why?

Anti-smoking campaign came to my high school and it made a big impression on us teenagers then not to smoke.

In 2 yrs of smoking. u develop enough tar in yr lungs to cover a plot 4 by 6 feet.

Ofc seeing the diseased lungs of a smoker who died from lung cancer and those of a healthy person serves excellently to change my mind if I ever considered smoking. The smoke-filled lungs were dirtier than any fish aquarium filter I have ever seen.

I sometimes worry for this friend (the guy who smokes weed constantly) who said when he is stricken with allergy esp sinus, his lungs feel like glue. Other than that, he is built lke a bull and has excellent health.

I never use drugs either as well. Then again, I never pierce myself or have any tattoo Sure I am far from the norm I know that :2razz:

In two years of smoking what, how many per day, and cover a plot with tar how thick?

Of course a lung cancer smoker lung compared to a health non-cancerous lung will be quite dichotomous. Thats no reason for a strict abstinence, all things in moderation.

Is there any evidence that the weed use is responsible for his allergy? I've not heard of any such a case in the whole medical literature in the past 10 years, and trust me its one of my alert "hotwords."

Can't remember (this was back when I was in high school). The 2 yrs and the 4 by 6 feet stuck in my head tho. Smoking cigs.

Well, he does not smoke cigarettes anymore, he quit 15 yrs back, still does weed on a daily basis. But his sinus condition allergy is more I think due to the fact he was a premie (he was premature baby born 1.5 mths early).

I think some studies promote not introducing solids to an infant too early, cos it makes them have more allergies later on. They recommend no solids fed to infants by 9mths to 1 year. I think some ppl intriduce solids to infants at 6 mths even. Didn't ask if that happened to my friend tho.

He really suffers from the sinus in springtime with the pollen influx.

Most of the information in this post is inaccurate. Weed is addictive. Weed is harmful. That does not mean it is as harmful or addictive as heroin or cocaine. But it is not benign and has negative effects, thought similar to alcohol, not everyone becomes addicted, nor is everyone harmed. This is not a black or white situation. Not everyone who smokes weed is going to end up brain dead, psychotic, or a criminal. A small percentage will, due to their marijuana usage. Nor does no one who smokes weed end up end up brain dead, psychotic, or a criminal. A small percentage will, due to their marijuana usage. Again similar to the percentage of those who drink alcohol. Saying weed is not harmful and addictive is as fallacious as saying that weed will make you stupid and crazy.


And, btw, I am also for legalization.

 

[Bodi]

I smoked every day for 20 years. From the time I was 17 'till I was 37. I'd have my little travel kit with me. A pipe and a film case full of sifted weed. I'd sift it at home through a strainer so the hits would be more concentrated.

I haven't smoked any weed for the last 13 years. It hasn't been anything concious, I just stopped smoking without realizing it.

I smoked a lot too... 8 years or so.

One day, I just said "naw... I pass" when handed the bong and I never took it again for some reason.

No idea why, just didn't feel like it. It has been 7 years or so now since my last hit.

But.... But....... Captain!!! ITS THE MAGIC DRUG MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.

 

[Gipper]

I used to smoke it in my senior year of high school and a little in college, but stopped after a little over a year and haven't since. It was okay when I was working at a Subway back in the day, but once you get into professional jobs, it's stupid and not worth the risk.

Now I just stick to high-quality stoagies.

THC is not an addictive chemical and if you take THC out of weed and smoke it, you wouldn't get high. THC is the active chemical that gives you the high in weed.

THC (the active ingredient making u high in marijuana aka weed) is not addictive :

UT Medical Group, Inc. - Web Chat on Addictions

Q: Is marijuana addictive?

Dr. Battle: No, marijuana is not addictive. It isn't addictive because the active ingredient in it, THC, does not become a part of the body chemistry. So that then, that body, would be dependent on it just as it is dependent on water or food. That is the essence of addition; it is physiological!

MarijuanaNews.Com, Freedom has nothing to fear from the truth

No Evidence That THC Is Addictive Says Maker of Marinol
After 9 Month Study Including Law Enforcement

Marijuana addiction?

U can google all over the net and see THC is not addictive at all. That is why ppl can use weed and stop using weed with no withdrawal symptoms unlike the other addictions like alcohol, cigarettes, tobacco, heroin, cocaine.

Serious u had the same idea I had b4 I realized weed really isn't addictive. My friend had to forgo it for weeks when he had sinus attacks. No withdrawal symptoms. He also didn't use it for 1 yr plus. No withdrawal symptoms like some of the weed users here also say.

Marijuana calms neurons in the brain :

Marijuana-like Chemicals In The Brain Calm Neurons

Enhancing Activity Of Marijuana-like Chemicals In Brain Helps Treat Parkinson's Symptoms In Mice : Enhancing Activity Of Marijuana-like Chemicals In Brain Helps Treat Parkinson's Symptoms In Mice

UCSF Researchers Move In On Role Of Brain's
Naturally Occurring Marijuana : The Brain's Naturally Occurring Marijuana

Nearly a decade ago, researchers determined that the brain contains a molecule that mimics the active ingredient in marijuana, but its location and role in the brain were unclear. Now, UCSF researchers have discovered that the molecule acts, at least in part, in a region of the brain that plays a key role in learning and memory.

<<< that is why regular weed users r very intelligent and creative

Don't introduce these solids too early to infants to prevent them developing allergies :

Introducing solid foods: What you need to know

Know what's off-limits

Don't offer cow's milk, eggs, citrus or honey before age 1, and don't offer peanuts (including smooth peanut butter), fish or shellfish until age 3. Cow's milk, eggs, peanuts and seafood may trigger an allergic reaction if they're given too soon. Citrus can cause a painful diaper rash, and honey may contain spores that can grow in a baby's intestinal tract and cause botulism.

My friend had been smoking weed on a daily basis from his teens to present age now ... He is 38. Very intelligent and creative, in the genius category. Extremely healthy other than his sinus attacks. He does not even have mood swings

I am glad u r also for legalization

I've done a fair amount of experimentation in my day, but I've never liked dope. it just made me feel fuzzy and dumb. I do like to get drunk though. when I'm smashed I don't know that I'm dumb. I just am.

Yeah, me neither. It's just not fun.
Not like other stuff.

 

[quatrotritikali]

Ganja, however, doesn't have the nasty side effects of other harder drugs. Pot relaxes me and mellows me out...which is fine by me. Out of all the other drugs I have taken over the years, pot is my drug of choice.

 

[Lerxst]

Weed is nasty and it stinks. I have tried it, when I was younger of course. It was not a sensation I found worth revisiting.

Mushrooms on the other hand....

Oh, jeez... I tried to gouge out my husband's eyes on mushrooms.
I mean, he was laying there with his eyes closed, and his eyeballs were moving a lot behind his eyelids, and I just idly started pushing on his eyelids with my thumbs. They felt weird- soft and squishy but firm at the same time, and moving under my fingertips, so I pushed some more. Then he sat up screaming.
I had forgotten he was a person, and could be hurt. He had too, apparently.
That was the only time I ever took shrooms, but we took a lot.
I didn't care for it much at all. We were so disoriented we just stayed in bed the whole time, freaking out because the curtains were moving all by themselves, unable to make the cognitive leap to understanding that the wind was blowing them.
It's a stupid high, one that seemingly leaves one just disconnected- unable to connect the dots between cause and effect, between one thing and another, and therefore unable to understand anything, and so "tripping out" on mundane and commonplace occurrences because you suddenly don't understand why they're happening. And it seems like it could be dangerous, since you could hurt people- or yourself- without even realizing it.
I mean, that's just my experience with it. I've done acid numerous times, and was at least still functional, and sometimes even creative. Nothing ever left me so disconnected and fundamentally unhinged as shrooms did that time. We couldn't even talk, really.

This is why I never got involved with drugs (aside from the experiments I did with pot as a youth). The idea of not being in control of myself just plain scared me.
:shock:

In my experiance with the magic dragon everyone has taken a ride. Now some take more rides than others. Im one who has only take a few rides. Its not because i can't get it, i can very easily but im to afraid that i'll get caught.

 

[Caine]

Never tried it.

Never care to.

Just being around that garbage gives me a headache, and nothing else.

If that is what they call a "contact high" than the full high would probably make me want to go old school on headache treatment and drill a hole in my head to "release the demons" like they did back in the dark ages.

 

[Southern Belle]

No, I never have. I think I could do it for my glaucoma if I felt like it, but I really don't want to, and never will unless it's completely nesecerry. (and even then an absolutely last resort) It damages brain cells doesn't it? I don't want to destroy my brain. ^^

Never touch Alchohol either because it tears up your body and I have enough trouble getting around and stuff without being drunk. And drunk people scare me because they are unpredictable.

The closest I've ever been to high is stong after-surgery medicine like Tylonol 3 and Oxycodone or whatever.
