Get High? Why?

i know that i have no problem with smoking. i even do it occasionally. i just have things that i feel are much more important, and those things take precedence over smoking weed.

for some people it just takes over and robs them of their ambition. one of my friends fell into that trap this summer and it kind of sucked because we never hung out anymore. he just went and got blazed with his stoner friends at every opportunity and blew me off.

it all depends on the person. some people get hardcore into it after the first couple times. some are fine with occasional use.
 
1. i have read that weed isn't chemically addictive, but people it can be a wicked bad habit, i have plenty of friend who wished they smoked less. People tend to hide behind the weed isn't chemical addictive, but you can easily get dependent.

6. Your friend is smart, that doesn't prove shit about weed.

 
This is how i think of it...Weed addiction is like jacking off, why quit when it feels good and isnt harmful. But when you become a chronic masturbator and your dick bends and balls fall off, its time to stop. just like the people that become dependant on smoking weed and fuck there life over. And who could forget that quote from Tom Wallisch himself from 4bi9 west bound and down edit?

Cleg: "How about we get some shots of you smoking weed for your video?"

Tom Wallisch:"Oooh you know thats great and all cleg but uh..i think that needs to stay out of my promotional video."

 
oh i see so you are a ski nerd, you'd rather quote that dude than quote the actual source, kenny powers.

and its funny because you act like im supposed to have seen that.
 
I read the first page of this thread and did not bother with the other 2 pages of the thread because it appeared to be a big bitch fest in the making.

My personal experience with drugs is very very similar to that stranger on the omegle chat. The back story is that i started using drugs at the age of 16, and by the time i was 17 I had become a middle man somewhat for weed. I smoked in the area of a 1/4 of weed every 1.5 days because of various sessions everyday with many many people, these sessions would go on till 4 in the morning on some nights. I started as a casual smoker aswell, but eventually was taken down the path of full blown drug user. The time i used weed opened the door for other drugs for me aswell, I started doing lsd and mushrooms with weed when i had become bored or immune to the high of pot. In my last couple months of drug use i would normally eat 8-10 grams of shams and smoke 1/8 of pot each weekend night, so effectively double those amounts and that was just a weekend. While this was all happening, my father was dying from cancer and I worked a 32 hour a week job in highschool to support my habits and help support the family with odds and ends, and perhaps the drugs were a crutch but i never really felt i was doing drugs to hinder my reality moreso it was just pure fun. It had its high points and low points for sure, and at the time i was meeting many many interesting people in my life like korean gangsters that had no name and carried pistols at all times. I smoked 24/7 and thought it was the best feeling in the world and that i would never give it up but little did i realize that it is far from the truth. The only reason i was able to stop my drug use was that i overdosed on a combination of drugs ( all "harmless" drugs) and ended up walking in my house front door and was greeting by a concerned mother who had lost her husband to cancer less than a year prior... 30 seconds after being dragged into my house by some friends because i couldnt walk i had multiple seizures right there in front of my mother. The rest of that night was a pure hell, i kept passing in and out of consciousness and had reasoned with myself that i was going to die and accepted the fact i had fucked up. It was the most intense life experience i have ever had in the sense that it takes a fair amount of panic and sorrow to accept ones death and that you had failed your family. My mother was a wreck at this point and had no idea if she should call 911 to get me through the night, eventually she decided against it because she had called my brother to ask what to do and he said to let it play out. I fell in and out of consciousness for the next 6 hours with a super high fever and no ability to understand anything that surrounded me, only my dreams in the current fucked up state made sense. Prior to my overdose, i thought i was tough shit with drugs and i could do anything and it never effected my life but all it took was one slight mistake with drugs and my life was in jeopardy. I quit cold turkey from all forms of drugs the very next day and have smoked pot 2 times total in the last 6 years or so.

When i look back at that time in my life i now can see clearly of how negatively even a stupid "harmless" drug like pot could do to a persons mental state and health. I was never addicted to the drug, more or less i was addicted to the lifestyle and at the time I thought it was the lifestyle i wanted to live for the rest of my life. I am so grateful that i had the 2nd chance and the willpower to quit on the spot. When i first dabbled in smoking pot it wasnt a big deal, it would just be at parties or get togethers but slowly and surely it eventually crept all the way up to the point where it was literally one of the major factors in my life... And i needed it to get on with my life at that point. It took less than a week for the purple haze to clear out from my mind and basic thought process started to change aswell, short term memory started to gradually come back to me and it seemed to me my brain was no longer strained to hold information. My emotions after I quit seemed to become easier to understand and cope with aswell because after all pot is a depressant and you may not feel like it is hindering your emotions while you are smoking pot but it surely does. After years of heavy pot use, the changes it makes to you are so subtle that you will never notice until its too late. Pot can ruin peoples lives, people all just react differently to drugs and some people cannot have moderation. The main difference between me and the omegle stranger is that I dont regret doing drugs at all, It had its ups and downs like anything in life and it was a great learning experience for me. Had i never smoked pot in my life, i would surely be a different person and have perhaps have a different life than i do now but no one can truely say it would be a better or worse life. It really grounded and humbled me after I overdosed and I realize how dirty pot can really be, but its just so subtle that people will never know unless someone points it out to them. If i have kids I would expect them to try new things and pot will surely be one of them and i would not condone smoking pot persay but i would never scorn my children for trying it, but the point at which it starts to take over their lives i will kick their ass.

Im sure this may be hard to read due to lack of writing skill, but I just wanted to share my own personal experience with drugs and how it changed the course of my life.
 
oh yeah, and stoner bros are not real bros. Once you get out of smoking pot you will find they will start to call you less and less. This isnt only because you pitch on weed but because of the fact that a stoner bro relationship is built off a drug. You might feel like this person would have taken a bullet for you if you were sessioning together, but really he lacks motivation to get in front of that bullet when the time comes. I met alot of "friends" through weed and even alot of my school friends progressed with me down the road of smoking pot but as soon as you no longer want to take part, you are a cast away.
 
I read this thred from cover to cover and i want to give my two cents.
I used to smoke 3 times a week at least now i smoke 1 maybe 2 times a week or more over a break and I have had a great time doing it. Yes i have been forgetting things and all that but along the way i have made new friends. I even had my friendships become stronger through this. Even my friends that dont know i do. My grades haven't been amazing but their average for me right around a B+ average. Could my grades be better if i didn't smoke? Yes, but because i am smoking and not studying not because of the effects of weed. Just like choosing to play X box instead.
I have found that weed has made me more interested in my subjects at school. I dont do it during the week. I focus on school and sports.
Weed to me is not an every day thing have i smoked multiple days in a row yes but only on occasion. I try to limit myself because when i blaze i want it to be an experience not just another day.
I started because one of my friends asked and i was curious. I thought i was just going to smoke and still hang with my other friends and i have but i've made new friends on both side of the spectrum. Most of my friends that dont smoke dont know i do. I'm not keeping it a secret its just not that big part of my life that i need to just talk about it or only hang out with my friends that do.
Do I look foward to it? Yes i do. everyday but no more than i look foward to the next time i ski or baseball season.
Do I see myself stopping soon? No maybe a break for baseball or if it becomes a problem but no not as far as I can see.
Would i recomend it to a friend? Yes and no. Weed helped ME. I would be depressed fell like there was nothing to look foward to do other than activities like above but nothing were i can set a few hours of my weekend aside and chill with some friends and have a fun time.

Is it good for you? No not physically but it can help you through tough times and just make life a little bit better.
I dont care if you smoke or not. I chose to and still do. I understand what im getting into and realize its not the best thing for me but its what I chose.
BYE!!!@
 
everything in moderation.

as soon as you put marijuana ahead of everything else (school, friends, work, etc.), it's not the drug...it's you. prioritize.
 
When I go to school baked I always do better it juts helps me concentrate I'm in school right now and I'm high right meow
 
money is the big thing for me. Its all about control and the fact that your spending a shit ton of money on weed is because of your self control not because of weed. A heroin addicted needs more not because it is sooo fucking amazing that he just has to have it, but because it is so fucking horrible to not have it. Yeah you might mentally get addicted to pot but I could mentally get addicted to burritos if I love them enough.

The whole sleeping situation goes away in 2-3 days and I feel the only reason that you have trouble sleeping without being high is because your always high when you go to sleep. If I listen to music every night before I go to bed for a month, It's going to be hard for me to sleep without music.
