Does it pay just to try pot once?

Question

what are the positives of it? if any.
Should you give it a try just once?

Answer 1

I don't trust Yahoo not to divulge the details of anyone who admits to using to the relevant authority.

So, given that, no, it doesn't pay.
Don't try it, kids! It's yucky! Stick to beer, liquor and pills like your parents!

Answer 2

As a former pot smoker, I would say definitely no.

Most times people don't get high the first time they try it so in theory you can't just try it once, because then you would never get the experience.

All pot does is numb you out to the world. You sit and don't want to do a whole heck of a lot.

Speaking from experience, I wish I would have listened to my mentor who advised me not to try pot when I was putting the question out as a teenager (a note was caught by the teacher and she spoke to me afterward).

Do yourself a HUGE favor and be strong and don't do it! I hope you stay true to you and feel that there is a hope for you that you won't because you asked the question.

Answer 3

I had my share in the 70's and 80's while listening to some Pink Floyd or Robin Trower. I kinda miss those days. Anyway, I never had any of the bad effects the "Experts" said you'll get from weed. But then again, too much of anything is bad for you. It's your call.

Answer 4

It's gotta be YOUR call, no one elses. The positives, well if you were very sick, it does help. If we could get our government to let farmers plant, we could do many things with the plant. Hemp is in the clothes we wear, the bags we use, and also it is possible to convert hemp to jet fuel, which would lower gas prices, and the government worries about the budget...we could end it. Let farmers work again, pick it, pack it, and sell it, just like cigarettes, you could ask for the "bunk" or the "premium". Bet lots less people would smoke cigarettes if they could smoke pot without the stigma that goes with us who do.

Answer 5

I tried once but I rather you not to take pot or even one time because it is not good and you don't feel right doing it all and
I did it only once and that was it for me I never again.

Answer 6

Say No to Drug,s Think about it what if you smoked some pot that had been sprayed with other chemical,s and you fried your brain.You probably would not even remember doing it .and if you lived through it your family would have to put you in a nut house because they could not take care of you properly or might not have the time to.So please do not do it .for your self.

Answer 7

It really depends. If your 18 or 25 no, but if your 40 or 50 has a steady job and is done with school. Then i dont see big problem.

Answer 8

i got this info from a pamphlet from a drug class i went to when i was trying to help my ex. by the way no one can help an addict until the addict is ready to admit there is a problem. don't start and there will never BE a problem.

all the information is great. it helped me a lot even though it didn't help my ex. good luck.

Font: * * * * OTTAWA - An increasing number of people armed with high-powered guns and booby traps are protecting marijuana grow operations from thieves, or ''pot pirates,'' according to police in Ontario.

Traps such as nails driven into weighted wooden boards and suspended overhead in trees, and spikes attached to tied-back tree saplings, are being increasingly found during police investigations, Det. Supt. Frank Elbers of the Ontario Provincial Police drug enforcement section said Thursday.

Weapons are often meant to protect lucrative grow operations from raiders, but they have raised concerns about the safety of police officers and residents, Elbers said.

''The traps we saw in the past, (used) more to lightly wound or scare someone off, have turned into security measures,'' he said, adding one OPP officer had been injured during an investigation by stepping on a hidden nail-covered board at a growing operation west of Ottawa.

''I don't think they're out for police, but booby traps don't distinguish,'' he said.

Officers are also finding ''everything from machetes to machine-guns'' used for protection, Elbers said. Police have also found bunker-type hideouts and bulletproof vests.

Police cited examples of an apparent trend toward weapons. In September, a shooting at an Ottawa-area farm found to contain a grow operation left one man dead and two others seriously injured.

Another man was shot in late September during a home invasion in which two men barged into his home near Portland, 90 kilometres south of Ottawa, posing as police officers in order to steal his medicinal marijuana, which he had a permit to grow.

In the past five years, Ontario Provincial Police have investigated almost 3,000 grow operations and destroyed 1.2 million plants, Det. Supt. Elbers said, adding that people should report suspicious activity to police or Crime Stoppers rather than investigating themselves.

Dude, where's my pot-filled car? Sold!

November 25, 2006
EUNICE, N.M. -- A New Mexico resident discovered an unadvertised option in a used car he recently purchased: a supply of marijuana.
The owner found the drugs and contacted police, who recovered 20 bricks -- 22 pounds -- of marijuana.

The weed, valued at $28,000, was stored under the back seat, police said.

The man told authorities he bought the vehicle in Hobbs. Lea County Drug Task Force Cmdr. Allyn Pennington said an investigation was under way and declined to speculate about why the drugs may have been inside the vehicle.

Answer 10

Hell no! I did it solid for three years when I was in High school and now I can remember very little of what went on in that time.

It's not a good idea.
