Any weed smokers here???

[k thx 0]

I dunno, you're proving those comments to be pretty damn scientifically accurate.

 

First off, I believe that the only person proving themself to be an idiot is yourself. You can't even get your sentences arranged in such a way that they support your "argument" or "point" or whatever it is you're grasping at. Ie...

 

You'd have to argue pretty damn hard that anybody boasting about drug use over an anonymous medium is retarded.

 

As for boasting? Wrong. Apparently you don't know the context in which to use this word - so please, stop using it.

 

As for the statement that everyone who uses drugs recreationally is an idiot, no-one has yet come up with a reason to take recreational drugs which outweighs the negative effect, and as a result I think it's fair to say that you're idiots (particularly if you can't come up with a reason why). Not that there's anything wrong with being an idiot, it's kind of quaint to be ignorant to reality, but that seems to be your bug-bear, not mine.

 

What reason does there need to be? Perhaps the reason that someone uses marijuana (recreationally) is in the same column as someone who has a glass of wine or two with their dinner. It doesn't have to have anything to do with "having a good time." Just because other people can endulge in it responsibly is no reason for you to go around calling them idiots.

 

The only idiot in these parts, at the moment, is yourself and the high-horse that you just can't seem to get off of.

 

My points are:

 

That recreational drug use will have negative side effects that outweighs the positives, and that to continue to do this is idiocy.

 

That boasting about drug use over the internet is retarded.

 

For the fact that some people do weed in the same way some people have a glass of wine at their dinner, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you saying people are paying good money for dope (while cheap, is rarely free) and doing it in a way which offers them no pleasure and purely for, what, the taste? What reason are people doing it for in this scenario? And what are the positives that outweigh the negatives?

When I reference recreational drug use, I'm talking about marijuana. Not cocaine. Not E. Not opium... and so-on. When I reference recreational drug use, I'm not talking about it being used every day. Once a week, at most (same thing as someone who goes to the bar for pints on the weekend).

 

That recreational drug use will have negative side effects that outweighs the positives, and that to continue to do this is idiocy.

 

Overuse of anything can have negative side effects. What about people who drink diet soda? All of that aspartame can result in memory loss, insomnia, migraines and so-on. Those idiots!

 

That boasting about drug use over the internet is retarded.

 

Again. Not boasting (at least I'm not). Boasting is the act or an instance of bragging. I don't see anyone in here bragging about their experiences as if they were better than everyone else.

What reason are people doing it for in this scenario? And what are the positives that outweigh the negatives?

 

Maybe it's a stress reliever. Perhaps they do like the taste - regardless of if it's smoked (I know lots of people who smoke the occasional cigar for the taste) or consumed. What does it matter to you?

 

What I'm getting at here is that you have no right to make these assumptions. You have no right to claim that just because someone might smoke a bowl after a stressful week at work (or for whatever reason they choose), that they're an idiot.

They're my opinions, backed up with science. Of course I'm entitled to them, the same you're entitled to yours. It doesn't mean we can't debate them though.

 

The difference between weed and diet soda (although anyone who does that to the point that it affects them is an idiot too) is that it provides sustinence. Weed doesn't, it's used purely for it's psychosctive properties. With weed, you don't know how long it takes for the receptors in your brain to fully heal from the effects of getting stoned, the knowledge of the levels of aspartame that it takes to affect you are more widely known.

 

The bragging is subjective, I suppose. What I see as boasting that they're so stoned right now, I see as bragging, whereas you may see that as simply documentation of fact. However, I'm sure you can agree that bragging about how much weed you do over the net is pretty retarded.

 

As for the last point, the benefits you've outlined (liking the taste, wanting to relive stress) in my belief, don't outweigh the negatives (potentially damaging the receptors in your brains, the use of a drug which scientists still don't know the full effect of). Certainly, risking the negatives because you like the taste is pretty dumb. And you don't need to smoke to relieve stress (and if you do, we're back on some people needding to do drugs), yes it can help, but there's plenty of other ways to relieve stress which don't involve pumping drugs into your body.

By the way, the correct answer is that everybody who has the power to make a conscious choice is, or can be perceived as, an idiot.

Chill.

Chave, just shut the fuck up. No one wants to hear your shit in this thread.

 

No one is boosting about smoking weed here, it's just a discussion for those who DO smoke weed. This isn't meant for some lame ass debate no one cares about.

[k thx 0]

no one cares about.

Despite the fact half the people in this thread over the last day have been debating it with me?

They are most likely bored and using your stupidity as their entertainment, while they are high.

The late term effects of getting high a lot? My parents in their 50s... they're pretty fucked up, can't remember certain things... slur a lot of words, and get myself and my brother mixed up... even though we look nothing alike.

Are they white?

Wow. You are a thick headed numbskull. You make the non-druggies look like irrational assholes. Welcome to ignore. And no, I don't care enough about you to click the "View This Post" option so any attempt to reply from here on out is useless.

If you only did things that were 100% good for you, you wouldn't do much at all. I think variety in life is a wonderful thing; part of the variety in my life is weed. You may like tomatoes on your plate for a bit of variety. For me, the taste of tomatoes outweighs any positives they may have. That is my opinion on tomatoes, and if there were a thread about tomatoes I'd sate it once, and not worry about those who happen to like tomatoes.

 

Anyone who believes drug use won't have any negative effect at all probably is a confused idiot. It is blatantly obvious to anyone with common sense that there is a tiny amount of risk involved, but if you know this then you are in a position to judge how much risk you want to take, and for what rewards.

 

I like playing football (the one played with the feet), but I could break an ankle at any moment. However, I find it fun so I don't worry and play. I could play a safer team sport and get the same benefits, or I could exercise on my own and get the same benefits, but I choose football.

 

If people are in possession of the facts they can make their own choice based on their own preferences. That applies to everything, obviously. Such choices could commonly be known as an opinion. Are you (Chave) the type of person who disagrees with any opinion that differs from your own, without even trying to understand where another person is coming from? If so, get out. You're an idiot. If not, is it just the subject of drugs (and porn seemingly) that you get so worked up over?

 

Basically, I’d like to know what your problem with people thinking differently to you is. Apologies for the stupid analogies and the rambling nature, but your posts don't make me feel the need to try any harder. Then again, it could just because I’ve had demon drugs in my life.

Did they just smoke weed or did they do more hardcore drugs?

 

When people point out the negative effects of weed by using hippies as an example, they fail to realize that those guys and gals did acid and a whole bunch of other crazy shit too.

[JangoFett4Hire 0]

Yeah.

 

Chave, no disrespect or anything, but you were expecting irrational flaming as a response. This is akin to going into a fast food thread and explaining how red meat is bad, and how soda is bad. You're attacking people's choice of poison. You're not going to convince anyone in here that smoking up is too much of a health risk. Just going to flare tempers.

 

Everyone else- who cares? Chaves' disapproval shouldn't chide anyone too much. To each their own.

[Guest DRH 502]

EDIT: Nah nevermind fuck this arguement.

 

Smoking a Grape Phillie with some fucking mexican schwag in it if anyone gives a damn

[FroGG_NeaL 0]

Just smoke two fat ass Cherry-Flavored joints, and a couple bowls.

I watched V for Vendetta while blitzed on Sunday.

 

Most intense movie viewing experience I've had. It was definitely the best movie I've seen all year, but I have to watch it in a clear state of mind just to make sure. I felt a much more emotional impact with it because of the high.

 

The only other movies I've seen while high were all comedies that were for the purpose of just laughing at stupid shit. Puff Puff Pass definitely did it for me.

[FroGG_NeaL 0]

Watching intense movies when you're high is the shit.

 

It enhances the experience and draws you into the story more. When something fucked up happens or a twist comes out of nowhere, it's that much better, too.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

I watched V for Vendetta for the second time on mushrooms; Holy fuck, that was an experience.

You calling my folks hippies??!! You motherfucker...

 

No, all they did was Weed and Beer. My mother in fact kept smoking up until I was 1... she smoked while I was in the womb... also did the same with my brother. My father... don't know about him. He's always been the guy that comes home straight from work and has a couple of beers. That's died down in last 5 years though.

Yeah, that one's good shit. I usually pop in a shitty 80s action movie while high... they really are the best.

Nah, for the most part I was playing Devils Advocate. I don't give a fuck if people do whatever drugs. Obviously, I think it's dumb, but that's purely my opinion.

 

Aside from a couple of opinions all I did was respond to flawed comments people made. Yeah, there's risk involved with any drugs and it's fairly dumb to pump shit into your systems when no-one knows the full effect of it, but it's no more dumb than drinking soda instead of water or eating unhealthily. That's human nature.

 

You're actually the first person to reply that weed has negative effects, but fuck it. Evryone else was saying dumb shit, and I was shooting it down. It was everyone else who seemed to make it an arguement, I was just reacting.

 

Damn, you stoners are paranoid...

[Guest CWMwasmurdered]

Weed has negative effects for sure. I've been doing it for ten years.

 

I think it's obvious how bad it is.

Animated comedies like Harvey Birdman, Futurama, etc. are also great.
