Answer 1

Your imagining things most likely. You probably have a compleatly unrelated cold. Dont worry just go to a doctor and tell him of your symtoms if you really feel sick. Its prob just a cold u can get medication for, It could however been laced with another type of harder drug such as cocaine, which would be the real problem. Just make sure your pot isnt laced again if that was the case and you should be fine. marijuana is the most commonly uses illegal substance in the United States. it is used by many people, most of which aren't your stereotypical "druggie", with no life agead of them. Many of them hapen to be very successful, good people. Think about it almost if not every person who reads this paper will know (even if they don't realize it) at least one if not several regular users of marijuana. Its often made out to be much more harmful htan it really is, unfortunatly not every one realizes this.

What many people don't realize is marijuana is much less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. Yet it's the one of the three that gets a bad rap and is illegal. Marijuana isn't even physicaly addicting. You certanly don't see meetings for marijuana like you do with alcohol and AA. Unfortunatly due to American culture the less harmful of the three is illegal.

The most common reason why marijuana can be harmful is that people can often come across laced marijuana without realizing it. Marijuana can easily be mixed with other more harmful drugs with out the buyer realizing it, until they have already used it. This is a dangerous thing that causes many people to do more harmful, hard core drugs without realizing it. If it were to be legalized the government could provide guide lines, like it does with alchol to insure that people knew what they were putting into their bodies.

Marijuana actually has many helpful benefits toward diseases / sicknesses. Marijuana can reduce nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite caused by AIDS. It can Reduce interlobular pressure, which alleviates the pain and slowing and sometimes even stopping the progress of glaucoma. Common side effects of chemotherapy are nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting, all of which marijuana would help. It can limit muscle pain and relieve tremor nad unsteadiness of gait for multiple sclerosis patients. Marijuana can help prevent epileptic seizures in some patients. It can also alleviate chronic, often debilitating pain caused by myriad disorders and injuries. Each one of these applications have been deemed legitimate by at least one United States court, legislature, and/or government agency.

Due to these reasons and many others many people are going to jail/prison on a daily basis due to simply smoking a little pot These aren't dangerous criminals that would kill or rape someone. Many of them are teachers, lawyers and respected members of their communities. But yet we still pay thousands of dollars of tax payers money to lock up non dangerous "criminals" yearly even though most aren't going to stop after they get out of jail. Don't you think the money spent here is a waste? Couldn't it be going to more useful things such as hospitals, disease research, or better schools? These are the things that would benifit the people of this country. Certanily you would rather benefit the people more than throwing a non violent pot head in jail who was only trying to smoke a joint and relax after a long days work in jail. There is up to forty million regular (note thats just the regular not occasional users) drug users in the United states. If we were to throw all of them in jail it would cost $500,000 per million people, plus the cost and space of building many more prisons. Couldm't that money be spent on building hospitals? There's already about 1.5 million people tax payers are paying to keep in jail over drugs. From 1990 to 2003, nearly 5.9 million people had been arrested for smoking marijuana. Thats a greater number than the entire population of Alaska, Delaware, The District of Columbia, Montania, North and South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming combined. This country simply can't afford to put 40 million more in jail.

Marijuana should be legalized. It has many uses such as helping sick patients. People are going to smoke it no matter what the government sais, and with out govenment guidelines this can be dangerous. Not to mention the fact that we have no way we can afford to throw all those people in jail. Its much less harmful than alcohol and tobacco, which are legal, so doesn't it make sense that it would be also?

Answer 2

First of all no one can make you do anything you deep down don't want to do. So therefore you were not MADE to smoke pot. There is no such thing as a marijuana addiction. If you had that bad of a reaction, you should consider not smoking it ever again . There was more in the pipe, joint, bong or whatever you smoked from than just marijuana. I smoked pot for 15 years day in and day out. I found out I was pregnant with my now 15 year old son and gave it up cold turkey with no problems at all.

Answer 3

get a grip.... So sorry to see your self esteem is so low that you allow your friends to FORCE you to smoke cannabis.... I guess the next they'll do is be forcing you to break the law.... most cannabis smokers I know are very conscientious of non smokers... perhaps you should rethink if they are your FRIENDS... What other things are you taking? No one stays in bed for a week after smoking cannabis... sounds like prescription meds or alcohol are also involved in this.... My suggestion would be... leave your supposed friends alone, drink some green tea, sit in the sunshine and relax...

Answer 4

Well first off, if you've only done it once and not since, I wouldn't call it an addiction. Secondly, nobody can force you to do something you don't want to do unless you were threatened, in which case I'd report it. If you fear your health that much, you need to see a doctor.

Answer 5

uhh first off unless they physically held you down and forced you to inhale the smoke your friends didn't MAKE you do anything

second off, marijuana is not addictive, "addictive" means that your body craves marijuana, medical science has proven that the chemicals in marijuana with the exception of a very small amount nicotine is not addictive, if anything you have a HABIT of smoking marijuana

you can stop anytime you want to if you set your mind to it

Answer 6

Dude, there is no such thing as marijuana addiction. You're just a naive little person believing all the propaganda that the government is spreading. Hmmmmm ..... sounds like you just came down with a case of "Reefer Madness" (ROFLMAO). Seriously, this reminds me of the scene in Half-Baked where Thurgood went in for rehab.

Ghetto dude: "You in here for some weed? That's some bull----."
Bob Saget: "Marijuanas not a drug. I used to suck ---- for crack. Ever sucked ---- for marijuana"?

Answer 7

How is someone forced to smoke anything?.....I know alot of people that have smoked or just tried pot....it might have made them sick or tired..but not for a week. Maybe your just feeling guilty for smoking it and cant deal with that. Seems like its mostly in your head. If your an adult...then you should know how to handle these situations. If its was just one time...then maybe your a hypochondriac.......

Answer 8

It may have been laced with another drug. I quit smoking so I can gain endurance when I run... Eat healthy, stop smoking altogether, and exercise. Make sure your body is getting all the requied nutrients. If you are that worried, see a doctor asap.

Answer 9

The best solution is to gain control over it. As someone already said, stop when you're getting there and relax. Pay more attention to pleasuring your mate--orally, perhaps--and avoid rubbing your penis up against anything while doing so. It will take work on your part and patience on both parts.

As a last resort, some antidepressants curb sexual functioning with the intention of learning the pleasure of restraint after which you could taper off them. Here's your goal: the longer you can delay your orgasm, the more intense it will be. So it isn't just a matter of satisfying your mate. This is the main reason some claim stoned sex is better, unlike drunk sex which can leave you unable to perform (brewer's droop). You enjoy exploring each other longer. And remember, oral isn't just one place. It's all over, paying particular attention to kissing, and TALK about what each of you like. Strange how people don't talk about sex when they're the ones doing it.

Answer 10

Change friends for smarter than those you have,stay away from smoking by being occupied ll the time with various jobs/hobbys,valunteer.Pray to God daily,read the Bible,accept Jesus Christ as your savior and ask him from your heart to forgive you for your sins. God Bless
