Weed, should i try it?

Over the past few years of my life, I have been around many people who smoke weed and act as if it is amazing. I have denied my friends' requests for me to try it because of what I have been told by my elders. I also felt the urge to resist all drugs and alcoholic substances because I feel that they will change me. I feel that my personality, my overall perspective on things will change, if I change. I don't want to change who I am though because I feel that I am a pretty intelligent person. I want to know from people who have tried weed before though, is it worth it? Is it worth the risk of arrest, or whatever other negative consequences there may be? Why so? Everyone I know who does it seems to have very much fun with their lives while they are doing it, and this is why I want to know, should I at least give it a try? Those of whom have done it, and know what it is like, please vote and comment, I am really interested to hear what you guys have to say.

    I've only smoked weed a couple of time (not proud of that at all) and every single time I have I hated it. It was always a diffrent bad feeling. I would feel sick, paranoid, confuse and I would make a fool out of my self. So to me it's not worth it at all. I had an amazing friend that would breakdance crazy, he told me he would never smoke weed because all the best dancers were like that, well he tryed it one day, and since that day he hasn't danced he's anti-social sad and is getting out of shape. Not saying that you'll turn out bad, but just keep in mind that weed effects people differently .

    I won't tell you one way or other because I don't know your situation.

    What I will tell you is that I smoked regularly for several years and still graduated college with perfect marks. When I felt it was time to quit, I stopped cold turkey and had no issues with withdrawal. I am glad that I used to smoke pot, because it just gives me a little more life experience and more ability to relate with a broad category of people!

    Doing any kinds of drug is a personal decision and should be influence first and foremost by you.

    www.erowid.com has a very detailed section on cannabis, it should be able to answer any questions you have.

    From personal experience, I've been smoking steadily for 2 years now, occasionally prior to. I started smoking more often becaue of how much it helps with my stomach problems, takes all the pain away. :P

    I have found that yes, it has changed the way I think, but not in a negative way. I tend to feel more connected to people now, and have become very inquisitive as to the nature of the universe. Nothing like getting stoned and reading articles on quantum mechanics, yo. :P

    Mostly it is not reccommended for people with anxiety issues or a possibility of early onset mental illness, check your family history. But everyone does react differently, it's dependant on your body chemistry as well as the plant's chemistry.

    If you are going to try it, don't do it when your 7/8ths drunk or in an atmosphere where you are likely to get paranoid. Oh and you'll probably want a pizza and a can of vanilla coke so have that ready.

      Oh god, this. Once upon a time I went to the bar and was drinking with my crazy scottish buddy. He had all all do bastards (triple shot, Jack, Jim and Jameson) and was feeding me drinks all night.

      Then I went up to a mutual friends house with a buddy who came to the bar to meet us. Smoked 2 bongs of medicinal. Was puking peanuts into their bushes for what seemed like half an hour. @.@

    Heed the words of Bob Marley and give it a try! But be careful and only smoke with people you can 100% trust.

    Weed can turn you into a jackass over time. If it does, stop using it. It has turned some people into jackasses.

    Methylenedioxyethylamphetamine comedowns are tough. Not as terrible as MDMA comedowns though. ( ● )_( ● )

    Try Exstasy if you know people who are experts in chemistry and possibly biology. Biological enzymes of certain plants can do certain chemical reactions which chemistry simply can't replicate (no matter how much they try), making E easier to produce.
    Must! Become! Chemistry major!

    It's only your decision. No one can sway you either way but yourself and cold hard facts. But, in my opinion, it has had a very positive effect on my life.

    It depends, does your family have a history of drug addiction, do you have an addictive personality and do you feel that you will be responsible enough to smoke it and not make any stupid decisions (such as driving while stoned, calling exes, etc.)?

    If you have confidence that you can use it safely and responsibly, even for the first puff, then I would say go ahead. However, if you're looking into joining the military or working in any law enforcement field, I would say stay away from that shit and keep away.

    I have a group of friends who are obsessed with it. Convinced smnoking it cures cancer and that it will save the world. Hash is pretty much their only interest. I tried it a few times and hated the stoned feeling. I much prefer being drunk. Anyway, my friends stopped talking to me after I said i didn't like it.

    So in summary...Try it by all means...Just don't turn into a douchebag.

    it's not omg AMAZING, but definitely give it a try if you're curious. it's not a "bad" thing.

    So far, looks like the IIN crowd is 50/50 on this one. It's a decision you have to make yourself.

    There are no addictive properties to weed, and smoking it actually stimulates brain function, which is why some stoners seem more intelligent or thought-provoking.

    But unless you've had a contact high before, you won't exactly get high the first time, unless you smoke a lot of it.

    Anyway, it's really up to you. Do you want to take the risk?

    The mere fact that you posted this means you're curious, so I say, if you have the chance, give it a shot. Maybe you'll like it, maybe not.

    I wouldn't make a habit out of it, but if you're interested, go for it. It's not a big deal to try it once, but if you do it regularly, be cautious of authorities.

    Have fun.

    • I understand. I believe I am a decently intelligent person, and it definitely intrigues me to say that I could become even "smarter" per say. It's just that so many people around me do it, and I must say it definitely is convincing. My close friends eventually got dragged into drugs too, which one of them actually became a dealer. My "crush" smokes too; we're really close. We do a lot of stuff together, but this is one thing I'm really confused on whether or not I can do with her or not. I really want to try but there are many risks in my case first of all because of age (this is the main issue). If my parents were to know, my life would take a huge downfall. It would be horrible. On the opposite end of the spectrum, weed could open up new possibilities in life for me - I could meet some great people, and really "live life to the fullest".

    Eh, I'd say try it if you must. I did a few times but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tequila is way better.

    ha what if u did and got pulled and got charged with having pot that prevented u from get the job u wanted and stuff plus a ride to jail not so fun so I've stayed away from it to much drama plus people like to lace it.

    • shade_ilmaendu

      While laced weed can be really bad, most dealers who know their shit would never do that. If you want to be a good dealer, you want repeat customers. Generally dealers give you the run around until you're proven trustworthy, but they don't want to lose good customers. A dealer who's worth their salt wouldn't lace weed, that would bring no repeat customers and get them in a world more trouble if they piss off the wrong person.

    • I understand your point, but you're looking at a very negative side of the argument. You should look at both sides of the argument. Clearly, yes, I can get into much trouble if I was caught with it by the authorities. I'm no fool though, I believe I'd know what I was doing if I was going to do it. As for the job part, what are you talking about? If no one knows what it is that I'm doing how will that effect my future? That is irrelevant my friend. I too would worry about Cannabis being laced with other scary things but I would only turn to my true friends for this kind of stuff. I would never turn to some random weirdo I find on the street you know.

        Try what you like my x friend was caught with weed had her 6 month old taken away. It's not worth it to me I've seen some stuff in my past because of it. If you got caught with weed its hard to get a regular job that's not fast food because your have a misdemeanor my x husband went through that. Either way you have to go pick it up from some where just to smoke it.

        it varies from person to person, one of my friends laced some with coke, apparently the smoothest high he got was from weed laced with vicodin I think. You can lace it with anything, somethings are very dangerous though so you have to be careful

          Honestly it's not damaging at all, unless you do an extremely high dose or have predisposition to early onset mental illness.

          Generally speaking, lsd, shrooms, pure MDMA isn't gonna fuck you up too badly if you're intelligent about it and take care of yourself while using. Cocaine can be alright for some people, horribly destructive for others.

          Meth, crack, heroine, bath salts.... any drug that makes you look like a corpse after a few years of use is a not even once situation.
