Default Smoking Weed

Seems that the consensus on this site is that smoking weed is cool and that everybody does it. I myself have never even thought about smoking the stuff. I am curious as to how you got into weed and what the benefits are. I know I sound straightlaced, but I am not...I am as sinful as the next guy, but weed is not something that I ever considered getting involved with.

Do you drink? If so, I'd ask you the same questions before responding to yours.

I have a beer or two a day at most...Nothing strong...Occasional cigar/cigarette. All of this in moderation. I have heard that weed stays in the body longer and makes u dumb...Not sure.

It only stays in significantly longer if you do it in excess. Beer also makes you dumber. You can also use marijuana in moderation just as you are currently using booze. If you thought of it as "smokeable beer" you'd be reasonably close.

I think this is a good assessment for someone who drinks, but has never smoked weed. I classify and use it the same way I use alcohol, another way to have fun without any immediate short term risk. When you say you've heard that it makes people "dumb" I believe you are confusing recreational smokers with "stoners".

When I smoked daily I did feel that my short term memory suffered. For example if my mom told me to take the trash out tomorrow I might forget. I think "stoners" are the equivalent of alcoholics. They abuse something that, in moderation, can be a wonderful thing.

There shouldn't be any taboo around weed, and it seems like I'm finding out more and more people I know smoke. Don't fear the bud.

Associating these two is so wrong I can't even begin to describe it.

Does one joint === one beer for someone say of average weight? If so wouldn't you want your money back for the pot? My understanding is that pot is much more potent and the "high" is actually quite different. Beer and wine are consummed for the taste as well sometimes. I don't consume alcohol very often but occasionally on a +100 day, a beer tastes very good.

Depends on how much you've smoked. To a first timer, 1 joint=8-12 beers. To a stoner, I'd say 1 joint=2 beers
