Weed really screws with your head

I'm totally against unnatural drugs like acid, crack, herion etc...Especially things that can be deadly. Of course acid is much crazier than weed, but is it worth it? I say no. If you want natural true hallucinations, then try shrooms. They can be hard to find and expensive, but there its completely healthy, unless you arent mentall capable of handling the shit you might see.
Hell, I don't even consider weed and shrooms to be drugs, they are obviously put here for a reason.

I've been smokin' daily for a few years (with occasional breaks) and it doesn't seem to have fazed me. It's definitely not something I'd recommend to everyone, though. I do, however, think it's worth at least a shot. It's definitely much more enjoyable than alcohol and without any of the shitty aftereffects.

Yep, just like the tobacco plant. It's been put there for what reason, apart from killing more than 400,000 Americans a year?
Don't kid yourselves, just because weed and shrooms are natural doesn't mean you have a green light to use it carelessly like many people do, such as smoking multiple times a day. Many people seem to function that way, but they're a definite minority.

I actually agree with you.
People who throw thier lives away just to get high make responsible potheads look bad. I really don't recommend that someone smoke multiple times a day, every single day...unless you are capable of keeping your life fully intact. I personally think that smoking constantly takes away from the experience anyway.

well, I think mushys and acid are on the same freaky level. they are both bad for your mind, mushrooms wrecks you for days afterwards, extremely bad for your sanity for a few days after.

Yes yes and yes. I smoked pretty much like you in high school and it took me a few weeks to feel "clear" again. I felt much better after I stopped so I never really went back. BTW, it will be hard to quit completely unless you move away or start hanging out with new friends. I moved away to college and met some new folks that played video games for their kicks instead. Now I'm, well, posting on a video game message board from work instead of wake and baking before my 12:00 class as a 6th year senior. Which is better? It's really up to you to decideFutureman said:

Oh man. Those drugs are all natural. The only man-made one in the list of common illegal drugs is MDMDA. You've been misinformed massively. Mushroom-induced hallucinations are no more 'natural' than acid-produced ones.
And are they bollocks completely healthy. I now have regular panic-attacks from taking the things.

I've never tried it myself, and never will (I've sworn myself off of hallucinegenics), but a good friend of mine is a big fan. I've not noticed any pernament change in him on or off of it, aside from a desire to sit in the same poisiton for 8 hours and look at a wall.
There must be loads of info on the 'net.

Now of course, I'm not too informed on hard drugs because I'm just not into them. My definition of natural is something that doesn't have to be processed and shit like that.
And the thing about shrooms causing you panic attacks...hey maybe you just took more than you could handle. You may have already been naturally prone to panic attacks and the shrooms just made something click. I used to have panic attacks all the time before I ever smoked pot. Now I never get them. Weed +1.

You could consider the drying-out of bud processed, but it depends on where you draw the line at definitions. My primary point is that you shouldn't trust something just because it's natural.
I never took mushrooms too much, least of all a lot in one go. I'm well aware of why I get panic attacks, and you're right - there's a part of my mind that I'm very scared of, and taking drugs like mushrooms kicks that door in and lets it all out. Everyone reacts in different ways, and you say there with your weed+1 comment.
That's proof that mushies aren't harmless. Man, imagine being trapped in one of the more intense trips you've had. Christ.

You know, I've had access to shrooms for a very long time but I just never wanted to shell out that much money for just one night's worth of shroom action. But I definetly plan on trying them this year. I'm not afraid of having a bad trip, because there was a couple of times that I've had bad experiences with weed. One time I believed my mom was dead...I pictured the funeral and everything. Then all of a sudden I feel my girlfriend shaking me and I realised that I was crying like a bitch for like 2 minutes. But I'm a very happy person with happy thoughts most of the time, so when I finally try shrooms I know I'll be in for a fantastic ride! To exist outside the realm of the universe is going to be truly amazing.
The stuff people say about drugs always amazes me. People that halucinate or have mind altering expereinces from smoking weed are very confused. Weed does not do that to a normal person if you find this stuff happening to you you need to see a doctor right away! I did a lot of drugs when I was young. I never put a needle in my arm or picked up a crack pipe but other then that I pretty much covered all the bases. And on more then one occassion did most of them in a single night. My experience is, it's really hard to hurt your brain if your a normal healthy human being. Sure short term you will notice things like drugs make you stupid. It's just a fact. Long term once you grow up a bit and realize there making you stupid everything returns to normal.
It's dumbass stories like this is the reason I absolutely loathe drug users. Give me a fucking break.julls said:and i generally loathe the 'oh my god i got so stoned this one time...' stories - so here's one. probably the last time i realy hit it hard i came home and for some reason freaked out and felt that i had held my cat captive all these years, and he really wanted to be in the wild- i tore myself up about it for ages then decided it was time to bid him farewell - so i put him outside the front door. he came back in the open window shortly after
I've smoked a lot of weed in my day, and I am confused about nothing when it comes to it. Good weed inspires you artistically, opens your mind to new things, enhances your senses and imagination. I'm sorry that you and many others have not had the privelege of smoking weed good enough to alter your mind. People who've only have experience with fucking schwag have no idea what they are missing, and the true potential of weed.
Here is a checklist of only a few things that I could think of offhand that will let you know whether you've had any quality weed-
Do TV/Movies seem real when you've watched them high?
Are you able to just close your eyes and drift into your imagination (sometimes seeing colors/tracers and other objects) ?
Distortion of hearing (like hearing unidentifiable mysterious voices/sounds)?
Enhanced taste/hearing?
If you cant relate to those few things I've listed, then sorry pal you don't know weed as good as you thought you did.

It's a funny story, I'll give him that. Hell, I can relate. I remember one time I was pouring a glass of soda, and the glass overpoured and I continued to pour it in my lap and all over the couch until my girlfriend once again saved me from my stoned stupidity. Being high isn't all about being stupid though, some amazing shit can happen. But I guess since you loath him so much, you've never done anything stupid while drunk now have you?
Sorry, my post seems to be missleading. To me weed is the ultimate accesory. I agree it makes all things more entertaining. It's the people that tell stories of smoking a joint and seeing God. The (insert band here) poster on their bedrooom wall come to life and plays for them BS.
The whole my penis is bigger then yours thing with quality of weed thing is jouvenile but I'll play along. I was in Amsterdam recently and we roll into the local shop order roll and blaze away. Guy in the bar looks at us and says your from BC aren't you. I say yes how did you know. He replies your the only fools that smoke weed of that calibre in that quantity straight.
PS
If smoking weed makes you hear voices. You need to see a shrink. Unless of course the only thing the voice ever says is you should get more munchies.

Yeah, weed doesn't exactly work that way. It's not fucking shrooms/lsd. I hate fake ass people who lie about thier experiences, and people who smoke weed to just try and fit in with the culture are equally lame.
Dude, I get my bud from Victoria, BC! Yes, the quality of weed is brilliant. I was never able to get stuff like Jack Herer (High Times Canabis Cup Winner), Dutch Treat or Lui Lui (which is very rare) in my city.
Well its more like distortion. Like hearing people outside on the street and it sounding like they are in your closet and shit.
In all honesty I was kinda dissapointed with the menu in Amsterdam everything on it I could get right here. I hardle smoke anymore though. It's funny I miss growing it more then smoking it. Bad movies is the other thing I miss, I can not sit through a bad movie anymore, but get high and bad movies are great!

Weed smoker. Well, former weed smoker. My roommate and I would just blaze a few bowls and listen to metal (Opeth - Blackwater Park was a favorite) while talking about shit. However I gave it up mostly because it started to affect the way I breathe when doing strenuous activity (I lift weights so I need all the oxygen I can get). I decided to say goodbye to the leaf after smoking about $200 worth. Haven't looked back.
I've had great times with weed and it didn't screw me up...much. Munchies cravings were rare (happened only twice) and I thought a lot about deep shit that furthered my perception of the world.

I need to learn how to grow that shit man. It would save me a hell of a lot of money.
Bad movies? Hell yeah. I think I watched Pootie Tang about 3 times this year :lol Watching movies sober you notice a lot more flaws than you do when high. I can actually watch MTV when I'm high. Now that's fucking noteworthy.
The Experiment: It seems like all the shit I smoke brings about extreme cases of munchies. Its so fucking hard to resist. I swear I can eat a almost a whole pizza, cheese fries, brownies, ice cream, doritos and a double gulp from 7-11 in one sitting. But I've learned to resist my munchies more since I started pushing 225 lbs (I'm down to 205 now).
I love the pot.
I get high at least once every day and it has become normal for me. I just like to relax with it. I can smoke by myself and watch Insomniac for hours or sit around with my buddies and argue for 10 minutes over who's gonna go upstairs and get the bag, lol.
The only problem I have with it is that it makes me socially retarded. If I make plans to go out at night and I get high before I go, I will reconsider because I'd just rather sit and do nothing after I smoke.
If anyone is interested, check out Overgrow.com . They have a huge forum with and all the info you ever wanted on marijuana. You just hae to sift out the small percentage of retards that are on that site.
And for those of you that don't smoke because of health concerns. Look into vaporizers. They only burn the THC from the buds so you don't have to worry about all the tar and carcinigens that come from the combustion of the weed when you use a lighter.

The Vap as we used to call it is a weird one. The say it's better for your lungs but why does it feel like inhaling burning napalm? I always liked the high from it you never really feel burnt out after. This has a side effect however. When you get real high after you get burnt out and go to sleep. When your smoking on the vap you just suddenly are no longer high so you just smoke more.
As a matter of fact: No, I haven't. I've never tried alcohol, and I never plan on trying alcohol. My father was a drunkie and my grandfather was a boozer. I plan on making the right decision and sticking to kool-aid, thanks.3kuSaS said:
And I'm sure amazing shit can happen while on weed. You smell funny, you act retarded and you lose some and/or all sense of reality. Good job at pouring your beverage all over your crotch, dude. I'm sure the girlfriend was all over you that night. <3

Oh it does worth it. And it's not dangerous the way anti-drug organizations make it look like. The only real danger you face with acid is jumping off a building because you're absolutely certain that you can fly through the colors (and other weird stuff). I've never had such an extreme reaction using acid, but I've heard stories. I'm not sure about how you would react though...

i have only done weed a few times.. but the last time i had pot brownies(cookies) i was sitting in a taxi on the way home from a crazy night out.. im sitting there intensely listening to some of the most amazing beats i ever heard.. then i realized that the radio wasnt on and what i was hearing was the sound of the taxi going over a bridge.. its seriously sounded like music.
the rest of the night was pretty crazy as well.
as for other drugs.. i already see shit while not high on drugs, im too scared to see what my mind would produce if i were to take an actual hallucinogen.

One of the best experiences I've ever had was playing Rez while stoned on weed. I had good headphones on, pumped right up, and played that travel mode or whatever. Insane. I'd recommend that to anyone. Oh, and strawberries and cream lollies are to die for :lol
I never said people should strive to be more like me. Given the circumstances, I would say it is a *good* quality to abstain from doing such things as alcohol or drugs.Zensetsu said:
And please, I know enough about weed to last a lifetime. Reading really is fundamental. I fail to see where my posts came off as pomuous or naieve. The fact of the matter is: weed does shitty things to people. Look at the two stories I quoted above. I mean honestly.

wow......GAF is full of potheads.
It's sad how I've never taken a hit of weed in my life and yet it has greatly shaped the course of my life past the age of 13. It really does piss me off when I meet cool people but I'm forced to stay away for the most part because they're involved with drugs....
It seems that I stand strong on this and yet I have a friend that's even more prude and criticizes me for even being friends with them.
It's a back-and-forth pull thing and it should die.

You've never tried it, but you've read enough Reefer Madness propaganda to know what you're talking about, obviously.
Either you're the most naive person in the world, or you're the greatest satirist on this forum. There are people that remain responsible even though they do drugs. There are plenty of people that maintain their strong characters. Don't be brainwashed - drugs can do a lot of harm, but only if they're used irresponsibly.
Oh, and I'm not even going to bother to count the percentage of the world's population that consumes alcohol. I guess we're all going to hell, huh?
Seriously, there are people out there who do cocaine in moderation. It's all based on the person and whether or not they are prone to addictions.
Anti-marijuana propaganda is some of the most rediculous bullshit out there. OMG IF YOU SMOKE WEED YOU'LL RUN DOWN LITTLE GIRLS WITH YOUR CAR. Never mind all the accidents caused by people using cell phones while driving, they must all be high while talking on thier cell phones. And don't forget, you might miss dinner with Grandma if you get high!

I wouldn't completely condemn those anti-pot advertisements. I think they are a good thing. I don't see them as being completely against using pot, I see them as warning people to moderate their use of the stuff. Which they should. It's only the hardcore users and acivists that totally take its message too far.
You said it. Not me.mattx5 said:
I can't help it if 3kuSaS fits the pothead stereotype wonderfully. I've seen what alcohol and drugs to do people. It ain't pretty. But, as with any substance, in moderation I'm sure it is probably okay.
Who the fuck does cocaine in moderation? That's a first for me.

Like all drugs, some people are more sensitive to them than others. I've heard of many people who get insanely paranoid after weed, but for most, ill effects are very tiny or gradual, if they exist at all. Now psychadelics like shrooms. . . MAN, they fuck with your head. They're safe from the point of view of what they do to your body, but they can really mess you up (while you're on them of course, not off.) I've been on some trips where I've forgotten what I was or where I was, and completely lost the concept of humanity. Or where time and space just doesn't seem to exist in the way they normally do and you can't imagine the concepts of past or future. I've been told that I'm more sensitive to them than others though. 
So if someone tells you they're completely safe. . . well, on the one hand they are, but don't think it's just a crazier weed trip because it's on a completely fucking different level. It has given me some crazy stories to tell though. /off topic
Overall though, I regret smoking weed as I think over the two and a half years or so that I've smoked it (I've quit drugs a while ago), it's made me more anti-social. It's hard to judge what effects it had since I was still maturing during that time. Like all substances, what may be harmless to most people can be otherwise to some. Weed, like many other drugs, is not inherently good or bad.
To the original poster: Yeah, that's the thing with weed. Even if you stop having a great time, just the general euphoria and freedom of thoughts will tempt you to come back to it (and for some that don't have as much fun as they used to, remembering how much fun it used to be.) I never found it hard to stop for any period of time, but if you want to stop smoking it, you'll just have realize that it does more bad than good - unless it doesn't, but why would you stop then?
