Re: Marijuana - Weed - Pot -- Your thoughts
This is a dumb topic, I don't smoke pot. My brother has been smoking it since he was 15 (he's 18 now) and I've seen the consequences of smoking it. You get nothing good out of it except
a"high." Honestly, the consequences outweigh the benefits and therefore it's just pointless, in my opinion, to smoke it. I'm "high" on life, and I don't need a plant to control it. ---

That's great, but honestly I don't care what you have to say to me. I've told my opinion and I don't give a fuck about yours. I'm done with this topic. Replying to the comment would be pointless because I'm not longer going to post. kbai

Re: Marijuana - Weed - Pot -- Your thoughts
I used to smoke it all the time, I'd get shit fuck high an not really care about anything just sit around with my friends talking about nothing.. life was a haze it was fun... but now that I'm not 14 and I
have shit I have to do I don't smoke it. I honestly don't judge people who do since I wasonce one of them..
I will say people who use it for medical reasons ... like LEGIT reasons like my grampa has been effect by agent orange and has some other stuff wrong and is legally allowed to smoke and grow up to 2 plants...
and it honestly helps him make it through the day.
I will say the weed kids smoke now is way stronger then the stuff I was smoking when I was 13.. I know when I moved to the coast at the age of 14-15 I was smoking and the stuff here was WAYYY stronger then the
stuff I was used to it... oh and now adays people lace the weed which I find juststupid.. so if your going to smoke it learn to grow it so you know what your letting into your body.

Not a dumb topic. Very important to North America. The consequences of smoking pot are 0. If there are some well you should start hanging out with more trust worthy friends.

Re: Marijuana - Weed - Pot -- Your thoughts
I don't do it, but I know lots about it, and lots of my friends do it. It's obviously bad for you? LOL, it's not like it's healthy or something, it's smoking. Clearly it's bad for you, but not as bad as smoking cigarettes, IMO it should be legal everywhere. People do it anyways, they do it more
than smoking, if anything alcohol should be illegal instead of weed because that takes more effect. I was high once, and it didn't make me all jumpy or anything, but alcohol does, alcohol causes deaths, weed doesn't. Lmfao

You can't say that, since the weed people buy off the street now adays can be laced and you wouldn't even know it.. you ever smoked cocoweed? shit fucking sucks its laced with coke.. image you smoke so much of
that shit an you start tweakin... Or how about the weed laced with acid.. I had some of that once with out knowing.. took a few knife hits an started see'n shit an I turned green and my heart rate increased (we called the medics because we didn't know
what was going on).
So I'll say street pot can have consequences if you don't know what your buying or if the seller doesn't tell you, like I said grow your own and know what your putting in your body.

Ok, so I lied. This is my last post.
Consequences:
How is Marijuana Abused?
Marijuana is usually smoked as a cigarette
(joint) or in a pipe. It is also smoked in blunts, which are cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with a mixture of marijuana and tobacco. This mode of delivery combines marijuana's active ingredients with nicotine and other harmful chemicals. Marijuana can also be mixed in food or
brewed as a tea. As a more concentrated, resinous form, it is called hashish; and as a sticky black liquid, hash oil. Marijuana smoke has a pungent and distinctive, usually sweet-and-sour odor.
How Does Marijuana Affect the Brain?
Scientists have learned a great deal about how
THC acts in the brain to produce its many effects. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body.
THC acts upon specific sites in the brain,
called cannabinoid receptors, kicking off a series of cellular reactions that ultimately lead to the "high" that users experience when they smoke marijuana. Some brain areas have many cannabinoid receptors; others have few or none. The highest density of cannabinoid receptors are found in parts of
the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thinking, concentrating, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement.1
Not surprisingly, marijuana intoxication can
cause distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, and problems with learning and memory. Research has shown that, in chronic users, marijuana's adverse impact on learning and memory can last for days or weeks after the acute effects of the drug wear
off.2 As a result, someone who smokes marijuana every day may be functioning at a suboptimal intellectual level all of the time.
Research into the effects of long-term cannabis
use on the structure of the brain has yielded inconsistent results. It may be that the effects are too subtle for reliable detection by current techniques. A similar challenge arises in studies of the effects of chronic marijuana use on brain function. Brain imaging studies in chronic users tend to
show some consistent alterations, but their connection to impaired cognitive functioning is far from clear. This uncertainty may stem from confounding factors such as other drug use, residual drug effects, or withdrawal symptoms in long-term chronic users.
Addictive Potential
Long-term marijuana abuse can lead to
addiction; that is, compulsive drug seeking and abuse despite the known harmful effects upon functioning in the context of family, school, work, and recreational activities. Estimates from research suggest that about 9 percent of users become addicted to marijuana; this number increases among those
who start young (to about 17 percent) and among daily users (25-50 percent).
Long-term marijuana abusers trying to quit
report withdrawal symptoms including: irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and drug craving, all of which can make it difficult to remain abstinent. These symptoms begin within about 1 day following abstinence, peak at 2-3 days, and subside within 1 or 2 weeks following drug
cessation.3
Marijuana and Mental Health
A number of studies have shown an association
between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Some of these studies have shown age at first use to be an important risk factor, where early use is a marker of increased vulnerability to later problems. However, at this time, it is not clear whether
marijuana use causes mental problems, exacerbates them, or reflects an attempt to self-medicate symptoms already in existence.
Chronic marijuana use, especially in a very
young person, may also be a marker of risk for mental illnesses - including addiction - stemming from genetic or environmental vulnerabilities, such as early exposure to stress or violence. Currently, the strongest evidence links marijuana use and schizophrenia and/or related
disorders.4 High doses of marijuana can produce an acute psychotic reaction; in addition, use of the drug may trigger the onset or relapse of schizophrenia in vulnerable individuals.
What Other Adverse Effect Does Marijuana Have on
Health?
Effects on the Heart
Marijuana increases heart rate by 20-100
percent shortly after smoking; this effect can last up to 3 hours. In one study, it was estimated that marijuana users have a 4.8-fold increase in the risk of heart attack in the first hour after smoking the drug.5 This may be due to increased heart rate as well as the effects of
marijuana on heart rhythms, causing palpitations and arrhythmias. This risk may be greater in aging populations or in those with cardiac vulnerabilities.
Effects on the Lungs
Numerous studies have shown marijuana smoke to
contain carcinogens and to be an irritant to the lungs. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50-70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which further increase the lungs' exposure to
carcinogenic smoke. Marijuana smokers show dysregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue, which could lead to cancer;6 however, a recent case-controlled study found no positive associations between marijuana use and lung, upper respiratory, or upper digestive tract
cancers.7 Thus, the link between marijuana smoking and these cancers remains unsubstantiated at this time.
Nonetheless, marijuana smokers can have many of
the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, and a heightened risk of lung infections. A study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems
and miss more days of work than nonsmokers.8 Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.
Effects on Daily Life
Research clearly demonstrates that marijuana
has the potential to cause problems in daily life or make a person's existing problems worse. In one study, heavy marijuana abusers reported that the drug impaired several important measures of life achievement, including physical and mental health, cognitive abilities, social life, and career
status.9 Several studies associate workers' marijuana smoking with increased absences, tardiness, accidents, workers' compensation claims, and job turnover.
What Treatment Options Exist?
Behavioral interventions, including
cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational incentives (i.e., providing vouchers for goods or services to patients who remain abstinent) have shown efficacy in treating marijuana dependence. Although no medications are currently available, recent discoveries about the workings of the cannabinoid
system offer promise for the development of medications to ease withdrawal, block the intoxicating effects of marijuana, and prevent relapse.
The latest treatment data indicate that in 2008
marijuana accounted for 17 percent of admissions (322,000) to treatment facilities in the United States, second only to opiates among illicit substances. Marijuana admissions were primarily male (74 percent), White (49 percent), and young (30 percent were in the 12-17 age range). Those in treatment
for primary marijuana abuse had begun use at an early age: 56 percent by age 14.**
Is Marijuana Medicine?
The potential medicinal properties of marijuana
have been the subject of substantive research and heated debate. Scientists have confirmed that the cannabis plant contains active ingredients with therapeutic potential for relieving pain, controlling nausea, stimulating appetite, and decreasing ocular pressure. Cannabinoid-based medications
include synthetic compounds, such as dronabinol (Marinol®) and nabilone (Cesamet®), which are FDA approved, and a new, chemically pure mixture of plant-derived THC and cannabidiol called Sativex®, formulated as a mouth spray and approved in Canada and parts of Europe for the relief of
cancer-associated pain and spasticity and neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis.
Scientists continue to investigate the
medicinal properties of THC and other cannabinoids to better evaluate and harness their ability to help patients suffering from a broad range of conditions, while avoiding the adverse effects of smoked marijuana.
How Widespread is Marijuana Abuse?
National Survey on Drug Use and Health
(NSDUH)***
According to the National Survey on Drug Use
and Health, in 2009, 16.7 million Americans aged 12 or older used marijuana at least once in the month prior to being surveyed, an increase over the rates reported in all years between 2002 and 2008. There was also a significant increase among youth aged 12-17, with current use up from 6.7 percent
in 2008 to 7.3 percent in 2009, although this rate is lower than what was reported in 2002 (8.2 percent). Past-month use also increased among those 18-25, from 16.5 percent in 2008 to 18.1 percent in 2009.

You can't say that, since the weed people buy off the street now adays can be laced and you wouldn't even know it.. you ever smoked cocoweed? shit fucking sucks its laced with coke.. image you smoke so much
ofthat shit an you start tweakin... Or how about the weed laced with acid.. I had some of that once with out knowing.. took a few knife hits an started see'n shit an I turned green and my heart rate increased (we called the medics because we didn't

So I'll say street pot can have consequences if you don't know what your buying or if the seller doesn't tell you, like I said grow your own and know what your putting in your body.
See thats why i get my stuff from the clinic.

Re: Marijuana - Weed - Pot -- Your thoughts
@kodyt Yes I can say that, if you're buying laced shit and you don't know it's laced than you're buying it from the wrong place (if it's laced you will find out). Make sure you know or a friend that knows the supplyer.
@Caleb I figured you'd be the smartass to post "proof". You want to open the "jack-in-the-box"? okay... I do know what it does to you I fucking smoke it numb nuts :). And to everyone that will say its smoke and you're enhailing it and it's bad for you, yes its smoke but fuck look at what
somepeople eat fast-food is all garbage... ciggirates are killers.... people can die from all that shit, weed has smoke because its dry plant lit on fire... its been smoked for hundereds of years not a single death has ever been recorded.
I know my facts about weed I've smoked it long enough, I've done school projects (to the point there boring).
So anything you got to bash me, ill be sure as fuck bashing back harder.
EDIT:
Medical marijuana has its advantages because its alot more "clean" it's more smooth and ususally tastes better plus a better high but costs more and is usually hard to find on the streets..
Street marijuana is lower grade it kinda has more of a stronger hit and you'd know if you have smoked both street and medical. (BC Bud) is the best of street most say better than medical...
