Please HELP! I need an opinion :)?

Question

ok so pot is something that a lot of people do at my school because everyone can afford it. Yes, I will be judged for this question but please help me anyway. Ive always never taken any but i want to try it at least once. No its not peer presure or anything my friends are awesome and say when we do it you dont have to if you dont want to..but i do want to try. Okay so how bad is pot for you if you try it once?? what does it feel like? I need help

Answer 1

how do you know you will only try it once?

what will you do if you get busted? what will you tell your parents?

if you try it and you like it...what will you do if your friends show up with some coke? speed? heroin? and tell you it's not bad, just try it once...

Make your own decisions when you are 18 and a legal adult. School years are not the time to mess with drugs (or booze or tobacco or sex).


and to the people who say it will kill you....it won't, and I wish they would realize that scare tactics backfire, because then you will wonder, if pot didn't hurt, then maybe "they" are lying about coke etc. being harmful too....but.... it could kill your desire to do anything else. Ever hear of a Pink Floyd song "Comfortably numb"? That PSA that says "pot can make nothing happen for you, too!" got it right.

Answer 2

Alright, first off, pot cannot kill you. Infact, it has been scientifically prooven that the only way to overdose on pot is to smoke 99 joints in under a minuet, which is humanly impossable.

Unless there is something else added to the drug when you smoke it, pot has no artificial addatives like cigarettes do, therefore it does not cause cancer.

The affects of pot are different for everyone. But most of the time, almost right after you will get a little bit hyper, and extremely giggly, and you will laugh at almost everything. The stage after that first one is one of total relaxation.

Your body and mind relax, and sometimes you might get really really tired, but you'll also get hungery, so make sure that you have alot of junk food handy.

There is a third stage to being stoned, but its pretty rare, and thats the paranoia stage. Basically, you'll get really jumpy. It wont last long though, because eventually you'll slip back into the clam and relaxed stage, and you'll probably even fall asleep.

Answer 3

First off no matter how you put it, it is peer presure, because your friends are doing it in front of you, and you want to feel what they're feeling and don't want to feel left out. Trust me when I say once you do it, it won't be your last time. That's the begining for trying other drugs. Trust me, been there done that. I ended up being strung out as an adult and it took me where I didn't want to go. Trust me when I say your not missing anything. You get light headed at first, become real silly and start laughing at everything and then you want to eat everything insight until your ready to pop. In the process your killing brain cells that you will need to make sane decisions and it doesn't come back once you've lost them. Also smoking one joint is equivalent to smoking 10 ciggarettes. If you want further info on the damage it will do to you, check on line. I lost count how many chemicals they put in weed. It's not just the plant your smoking, there's rat posioning, embalming fluid that funeral parlors use etc. I hoped I help....Please Please Please stay away from any type of drug. Chasing a high is just not worth it. Thank God I'm clean today. Don't be a satistic and if you care about your friends, try and talk some sence into them. or find new friends that have better things to do then sit around getting high. That shouldn't be to hard to do. You'll be in my prayers

Answer 4

You should probably try it when your in high school so that you can see how boring it is. I a couple of friends in their mid-20's, and they spend a lot of their money on pot and never wanna really go out or do anything. . . it's not terribly bad for you, as long as you don't become a pothead. It's not addictive, but if you use it a lot you are prone to becoming lazy. I say you should get together with your friends who wanna try it, make sure you won't get in trouble, and get some really good quality stuff and get as high as you wanna - you can't really overdose, and you'll know when you've had enough. make sure you have some food around. It is true that it can impare your driving skills, although not as much as drinking.it's just a bad idea to have any on you in case you get pulled over.
It's really shouldn't be as big of a deal as some people make of it. Just try it once or twice, and you'll probably not see what the big deal is either.

Answer 5

No, it can't kill you. In fact, pot is one of the few drugs for which there is no known toxic amount. It is literally impossible to overdose. It's also not physically addictive, although it can be *psychologically* addictive.

Any drug can be abused and misused -- so you need to be very careful about being aware of why you're doing it and whether you have an addictive personality, or whether you're depressed or oppressed and using it to escape a life you're not enjoying.

The effects vary depending on the type of pot, the environment in which you use it, your emotional state, and your personal body chemistry. For most people it gives them a feeling of well-being, increased sexual arousal, and an interesting (some feel illuminating) perspective on the world that's very different from our everyday consciousness. It heightens emotions, so it can also cause paranoia (especially in our culture in which it's illegal and seen as bad.) In some people it causes hyperactivity, though most get the typical mellow feeling. It affects your senses, so DO NOT USE IT IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING OR GOING IN A CAR WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN USING IT.

I'd advise you to wait until you're older to try it, and you understand the ramifications for possession if you're caught (it's different in different areas,) and are in a very safe setting.

Answer 6

God does not live in in Churches or Mosques Mandirs or Gurudawra. The temple of God is your Body. You can try pot What if you like the feeling then you are hooked. The best solution is to keep away from Pot. Every time you or your friends suggest it remember God. You would never go to the Church and have pot Would you? Keep your body pure. That is why you were sent here. Pot somoking and drinking is not the reason. Write me if you will

Answer 7

Honestly its not what pot does to you, but what you plan to do in the future. If you plan on being anything other than a sales person at the local KMart, I would make sure that the decision to smoke pot won't turn around and bite you in the butt. Pot makes you very relaxed, but you lose control of your body a little. You can get cooler, or you can get more annoying. It canmake you fart or snort or tell really funny jokes, it just depends. You have to decide if its worth the risk of embarrassing yourself and/or regretting it down the road. Good Luck.

Answer 8

OK, in my opinion all drugs like that are horrible. Just my opinion. I don't get the appeal. People will tell you to stay away and well if you are curious enough that probably won't make much difference. I'm not sure how old you are, or if you are ever interested in attending college. If you are interested in going to college or a university, did you know if you are ever caught with an illicit substance(including pot) you ARE NO LONGER EVER eligible for federally funded financial aid(including loans and grants)? Just thought.

Answer 9

No I would not try it even once. Some people get very sick from it. If your friends were into cocaine would you try it "just once"? You are at an age now where you have to develop a sense of independence and a strong will. Let them all do what ever harmful thing they want. Stand out as the person who has enough self esteem and morality to say NO.

Answer 10

I don't see anything wrong with trying the stuff once or even a few times if you liked the sensation. It's like wanting to stick your tongue on that frosty metal pole, you've heard the stories but something makes you want to try it yourself. Having said that sticking your tongue on that pole is something you WILL only do once. If you start smoking the stuff everyday or several time a day you're headed down a slippery slope but trying it once will not put you in that jeopardy.
