Re: Smoking Weed
[ QUOTE ]
After reading so many inexperienced smokers and misinformation, I could not help but reply. I guess you could label me a "stoner" because I have smoked regularly over the past 4 years or so. There are times where I have seriously considered quitting because of the effect on short term memory and obviously the legality. (I dont want to go to jail for weed or have something on my record) I know I could quit if I wanted because I have already quit smoking cigarettes which are way more addicting. I also do my fair share of drinking as I am 21 and going to be a senior in college. I usually smoke at least once a day obviously with some exceptions. To me, weed can calm me down better than anything. Playing poker while high helps me deal with the bad beats and allows me to play more relaxed. Obviously smoking weed to relax myself when I am angry is not a good habit, but I'm not gunna lie, it sure as hell works. I think that alcohol is wayy more dangerous than weed. I can smoke as much weed as I want and still drive a car better than if I had probably 6-8 beers. The reason for this is when I am high I am more paranoid, while when I'm drunk I'm usually in the "who gives a [censored]" mode. Not to mention a binge drinking night of alcohol can give me killer hangovers while I generally feel fine the next day of smoking even if I smoked a ton. I probably could be a straight A student, but even with smoking everyday I was on the dean's list both semesters of my junior year and am ahead of schedule to graduate so it hasn't effected my career goals that much. This doesnt mean that everyone could perform like this, but it isnt a big deal for me. (And yes sometimes I go to class retardedly stoned) Smoking weed isn't for everybody and I know some people that have had really bad experiences with it and swear against it, but if you are looking for a smile on your face, relaxation, and want to eat a hell of a lot of food, I would say try it. PS. Comedy movies are 10x better while high. [/ QUOTE ] This is all well and good when you are 21. Do you think you will feel the same way in 5 years? 10 years?

Re: Smoking Weed
Weed is a little different for everyone and I have friends that are complete stoners, yet seem to get more done than I could imagine. I also know people that are useless from extended smoking. In any case, I know it affects your short term memory fairly negatively and I try not to play poker when smoking because of this and because I tend to pay less attention to the game.
That said, weed is a great way to relax and I definitely enjoy a bowl at the end of the day pretty often. It also helps with my frequent stomach aches that doctors can't really link to anything. They are never that bad, but weed definitely calms my stomach so that I can eat more comfortably. Also, if it is your first time, don't expect to get high as for many this doesn't happen, but I know I got extremely high my first time. May have had something to with the fact that my friends made this their goal.

Jesus Canadians are easy going about weed usage! I go to amsterdam twice a year with my job and have been to some of those coffee houses around the red light dist. I have never smoked there, just stuck my head inside to see what was going on. I guess my upbringing in the bible belt built a taboo in my mind about drugs in general.

Re: Smoking Weed
I do not plan on smoking weed regularly in 5-10 years, and honestly when I have stopped for periods of up to a month for whatever reason, when I wake up I feel much more refreshed and my memory is better. I probably would lean towards never smoking weed if I could go back in time, and nowadays I usually tell people that they are better off not trying it. That does not mean that I regret my decision to start smoking because I wouldn't have some of my best friends if it weren't for weed. Not to mention the first time I smoked was with my best friend and my older brother after the first time I watched half baked. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
