marijuana (non-users also)

How did this end up over here with no reply?

I'm one of the older ones here but I have never tried it. Just never had the need.

It´s not usually about need when it comes to trying. It´s just around and so you try it because your buddies are trying it.

If all of your friends were jumping in front of moving trucks or jumping off steep cliffs then you would try it......that's called following the herd (a weakness).

I don't have a problem with people who smoke it or who have tried it. No skin off of my back. I choose to not be around it.

does that mean you just smoke it so you can chill and say fuck everything else that don't really matter?

Fuck everything else?
I never take such a standpoint in anything, I always ponder the relevant, herb is not meant to be used to get "stoned", it is meant for focus, thinking, observing, appreciating and looking within, to evaluate the present, its used to move forward. peace

Whatever one does behind closed doors is their perogative. But, to state a generalization that marijuana use is safe, is wrong. For some individuals, the drug can be fad and in a couple of months it's over. To others, it can be dangerous. Just like alcohol. Some people can be "social" drinkers while others become addicted. Could there be a gene that predisposes people to addiction? My guess is yes.
A recent study suggests that marijuana use can increase the chance of getting schizophrenia by 6. Just one of many studies that are going on....as you tell people marijuana is safe. Be careful my friends.

Some good points, yet it all depends on the individual. These studies are funded by the govt. The govt. will post anything negative or signs of anything negative when it comes to herb, they have been doing it for decades now and intend to increase it as time goes on. peace

I have to disagree with you there. I don't like a marijuana high and I've drank more than my fair share of alcohol, but I think that statement is way off base.

I've smoked in the past (more than once). These days I find it completely useless. If people want to smoke it's fine with me. I have friends who smoke everyday. To each their own. Maybe you'll never suffer any negative consequences from use maybe you will. I decided it did nothing for me and the legalities of it closed the door on it for me. I'd rather take the risk of doing a cycle than buying and smoking weed. Lifter

Is that the same government that brought us the "hippy slaughtered his whole family due to hash" propaganda?
For me, government sources on drugs aren´t worth the paper they were printed on.

I knew that tired response was coming. No, I wouldn´t jump off the cliff because I could hear there screams of pain and their twisted, bloody and mangled corpses on the rocks below. You can only jump off the cliff once but can take two hits and be fine. Apples and oranges, friend. That´s called a lack of critical thinking skills. (something some might consider a weakness)

The choosing to be around it thing doesn´t always work either. you´re at a party with people and someone brings some or you are with friends of friends or something.
