do you think that if i occasionaly smoke marijuana with some friends every once in a while that, that would be bad? i would never drive, opperate machinery, go to work high or anything like that. it would be just like alcohol and i would NOT abuse it or use it everyday.
I have heard al the media propaganda about marijuana and i it will make you go crazy, get cancer, get addicted, etc. most recent studies show that it isnt true. however do you think it will effect me negativley if i just use it occasionaly like maybe once or twice a month??

In my honest opinion, i have heard many people express your same thoughts and have become dependent over time...some started smoking on a daily basis after becoming occasional users...others used multiple times a day...
I have a friend that would smoke daily until he realized that it started to make him paranoid, he has been sober for a year now...
I am not preaching to you but if you have to ask this question, I think you might have doubts within your own mind!!!
If we lived in the sixties I would have probably said go for it ( I have never tried DRUGS) but in this day and age many people that grow this WACKY TOBACCO, put all kinds of chemicals to get you messed up and it will damage you central nervous system...
My thoughts would be stay away...I am 29 and I still have not or will ever have the craving for illegal drugs...

Tell you what... I'm a pretty open minded 50 year old male. I also used to be a long-haired rock drummer playing in bars around the Detroit area in the mid-70's. I used to smoke the stuff more often than you do. Looking back, I see two things...
After awhile, you might think, "Well, this stuff isn't too bad, I wonder what that other stuff is like?" Most likely you will think something along those lines at some point, and you just don't know... Statistically speaking, the vast majority of crack and heroin addicts didn't wake up one day and say to themselves, "I think I'm going to become a heroin addict this week!"
And secondly, I'll recount a story to you...
The last time I smoked a joint was on my 26th birthday. It was after the band practiced, and I was seated in my car with the bass player, and we were parked in front of the building where we had been practicing. He handed me a "birthday joint," where for the next two hours I did nothing more than "study" the fake leather grain in the vinyl steering wheel.
Pretty stupid stuff,eh?
The problem is that what you are doing seems relatively harmless, and for the most part it is, but neither you nor I know what the future will hold...

In my experience (big grain of salt there), there is a difference between alcohol and weed. We all know that alcohol often makes you more aggressive, while weed mellows you out. However, depending on where you are in life, some aggression may be necessary for success. That is the only real problem that I have seen with weed. In my college, graduate and employment experience, a certain percentage of the guys who smoked a good bit of weed, seemed to have a mellowing in their general outlook. They became less interested in succeeding or doing as well.

It's is ok to smoke here and there....I used to but, I don't really like the feeling. I just ge tin a blah mood.....so I prefer drinking over smoking. =) If you smoke just make sure it doesn't turn into a habit. It works in your favor if you don't have any drug testing, parents aren't on your butt or watching you like a hawk. Marijuana actually help with cancer patients before and after Cemo. Marijuana can ge tyou slow, you can turn into a burn out and effect the way you are driving, but than again alcohol can ge tyou a DWI, make you do stupid things, black out etc.....so as long as your a responsible human being and you want to relax, watch a comical movie, smoke a dooob and chill your all good buddy. Just make sure your responsibilities are taking care of and it doesn't effect you with your short or long term goals. Relax......and enjoy the sweet aroma and inhale.....slowly exhale.... have fun =)

Marijuana is a drug, that's for sure and it does not do you good, but neither does alcohol and we drink more than we smoke marijuana.
It is not addictive, and in my opinion it is not bad if you smoke it occasionally. It is only if you do it everyday that it gets dangerous even if the consequences do not show until later in life.

WOW, first off let's get out of 1954 and join our friends in 2006. Media propaganda claiming weed leads to mental illness is way outdated. Anyway, pot is natural, you have to be careful that it is not "treated". It can however make you lazy and slow, as well as affect your memory etc. My concern would be....what is it that you are using the "high" to escape from? Think about that before you start any new habits.

It's unattractive, stupid, and you will regret it later. My brother has done it for 13 years, he can't stop. Didn't graduate high school, 24, living with my grandma, no job, druggie, makes grandma pay for 2 packs of cigarettes a day and his food and drugs, when she gets 800 dollars a month. he steals from my family, hes a compulsive liar. Everyone hates him and calls him a loser, It is addicting! Don't do it, it's so ignorant. Do you want to turn out like that?

I personally do not have a problem with marijuana consumption. The negative health effects come when using "papers" to roll it in.
Use your best judgment- if you feel that it is talking a negative effect on you, (as with anything in excess) stop using it.
It is a naturally grown herb unlike meth, cocaine (chemical) stuff. You will always know that weed is just that; weed.
Marijuana is used in lots of cultures. I like it. Keep puffing the cheebah!!! :)

I personally think marijuana is much better for you than alcohol. Your judgment isn't near as impaired. As long as you don't get caught it's not a big deal! But depending on where you live, there can be harsh fines and/or jail time if you are busted.
The only reason marijuana hasn't been legalized is because the government makes too much money off of it.
