hey i said i was an alcholic for a short time, never ever did i do drugs.
that being said that is the fairest statement i have heard on this thread.
98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you''re one of the 2% who hasn''t, copy & paste this in your signature.
I don't like to bomb you with facts, Vampyr, but you can never be cured of alcoholism. What I mean is that alcoholism comes in the form of depression and plain genetic alcoholism in your family. What were your symptoms? Were you a regular casual drinker or did you drink to ease the day's stress away?

well i no longer drink, and im pretty sure i was addicted for a time. but im not now, once my friend got in that wreck it was a eye opener. not to mention i broke 3 bones as a direct result of booze.
i prolly used the word alcholism little loosely. i was addicted for a time but i dont drink or never intend to drink again now. but it wasnt genetic in my case my family doesnt drink, which is odd considering my uncle owns a bar.but i never knew my mothers family nor do i ever intend to a bunch of southern facist rednecks, was my first last and only impression. so im not sure i was ever a ALCHOLIC, but anyway im better now.
man i had a lot of problems i was one horrible little hellion.

Ok this is simple...that person or persons who decide <the devil didn't make them drink, smoke pot, shoot heroin> to get high, wasted, burnt, mellow ect go and injure themselves and or others should be denied care, period.
I mean my God, if they can make a choice to do drugs/alcohol, they should live with the consequences. Simple logic. You toss in a few federal laws saying that drug induced murders get death penalty, maybe fewer people would try and use drugs. Yeah I know life isn't that simple, but having family killed in an auto accident due to drunk driver who also had a history of drug use, makes me bitter.
Oh be quiet, I can only imagine what you are like in real life. Dont get me started, fag. Sry I just had to say it, it seemed like a proper time whats wrong with that? I enjoy pissing people of like you, because you seriously are a fag. And stop following me around and objecting what I say.
If anyone is pissed, it would be you. But you do have quite a few stockers after the blink 182 topic.
Haha I know. Its ok though. People have no clue what type of music I like, since I really dont like any type. Im not finding any good music and it all sounds the same and they all copy eachother to make money, so I kinda just gave up looking for good music so I just listen to some of the stuff I already have.
Back to the topic, go head...
I think you should smoke 921. I always thought if republicans smoked some green the world would be a better place
Lol, I want to but im loosing like 3 friends already because of it. They all think that im going to die from it
I started smoking when I was 14, now Im 15. I have never lost control when I was high, I never needed a fix, in fact, I've never been addicted. This drug isnt addictive physically, and mentally, its less addictive then coffee. The reason I know this is because I researched it before I smoked it, because Im a wuss in real life. Im afraid of death, because Im an athiest. I dont want to die, I dont want to kill myself because of an addiction or OD. You cant OD on marijuana, unless you consider passing out ODing. You can die, but whileyour high you still have choices. I admit sometimes I wanted weed, but I never needed it. I know people who would choose a cigarette over a meal. I would never even do that. It wasnt a gateway drug either, YOU ARE THE GATEWAY DRUG! I never tried anything, I bought my weed from a very good friend who grew her own, and I always made sure the dealer took a smoke before I did, in case it was laced. I have smoked at parties, I have smoked in my house. My parents have caught me, and they were pissed, but they didnt ground me or punish me. They thanked me for telling the truth and told me not to smoke in the house again, and that if I was doing it to erase problems, they would work them out for me. But I never used it for that. It was all fun. I see no harm in i, other then brain cell loss.
Im not a pothead, its a social thing. Maybe what some of you consider a beer. I will sometimes wake up not knowing what happened, but thats rarely. I sometimes get burnt out and do stupid things. But those are all on rare occasions. Be safe, dont drive, and always remember: Your always in control of what you do, even when your high.
Wow. I am utterly frickin amazed at the amount of responses this thread had generated in a single day. I didn't read the whole thing, though. From what I did read, I got the impression that there are a few very ignorant people in this forum. I don't mean any disrespect, I just think that some of you don't have a clue. Anyways, back on topic.
To the original poster: The decision to smoke marijuana is something only you can make. Educate yourself.
Marijuana is in fact a drug, it is an intoxicant, and you will do some very stupid things while high. Those are simple facts. It is also a fact that smoking marijuana can temporarily relieve tension and sometimes relieve pain. It can sometimes inspire you, and at the same time, make you unmotivated to do anything about that inspiration.
Marijuana can not kill you. Asphyxiation from smoke inhalation can, but unless you use a gas mask while completely bombed on whiskey, alone, this is extremely unlikely to happen.
Marijuana can cause cancer. Smoking anything can cause cancer. No matter how "natural" it is.
Marijuana does cause damage to your lungs and respiratory system. It lowers stamina, and energy. It can give temporary energy boosts, while high, but these are usually short.
Marijuana, when used often, can lower your attention span, cause short-term memory loss, make it more difficult for you to learn new things, and worse: it can waste your fucking time like you wouldn't believe.
Marijuana can lead to the use of harder drugs. This is not due to the marijuana itself, not directly. However, the type of people that like to get high off marijuana usually also like to get high off other drugs as well. This means that some your friends who are toking it up with you probably also like to drop acid, eat shrooms, maybe snort cocaine, smoke crystal methamphetamine, boot/snort/smoke heroin, smoke/drink opium, pop pills, etc. If you hang out with those people, eventually they will offer you the chance to try some of those other drugs. Whether you do or not will depend on the individual, but the fact is that you are far more likely to try those drugs if your friends are doing them.
Marijuana smoking can be costly. Prices vary from state to state, but expect to pay around $15 a gram in the U.S. Better marijuana costs more. Weaker marijuana means you have to smoke more to get high, compounding the physical damage you are doing to yourself. The best marijuana is found in the Northern states, bordering canada, and the Northwest, where it is often grown. Alaska and Canada are the producers of the best marijuana in North America, aside from the occasional small-time horticulturist who supplys a very small local amount.
Marijuana can get you into trouble with the law. Penalties vary from state to state. For posession of a under an ounce, in Alaska, it is a small fine. ($75 5 years ago.) By Nevada law : possession of marijuana by persons under 21 years of age of less than one ounce of marijuana is a felony, punishable by 1 - 4 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. That is simple possesion, not Posession With Intent to Distribute. Meaning, if you have it divided up into small bags, it is presumed to be intended for sale, and as far as I know, it is a felony to distribute marijuana.
Marijuana use can cause trouble with family and friends. Many people are adamantly opposed to the use of any drugs, and while you might eventually be able to convince them that marijuana isn't "all that bad", you need to decide if it's even worth the battle.
All of that above is, as far as I know, truth and not just opinion. Here's my opinion: casual use of marijuana probably won't have any long lasting physical effects. However, if you're a teenager, you need to remember that you are in your formative years, and any detrimental activities you engage in now can have life-long consequences.
If you decide to smoke marijuana, don't flaunt it. This can only make your relationships with those who disapprove of your habit harder.
I believe that marijuana is ultimately a waste of time, if abused. If used very casually, then it isn't much of a problem, however the difficulty lies in not abusing it.
Using marijuana to relieve tension is a catch-22. Loss of energy and motivation, lack of exercise, social problems caused by your habit, poor diet; these can all cause stress and tension. The question is whether these stress-causing factors are the lesser problems.
The addiction to marijuana is very mild, with few withdrawl symptoms. After you quit, you can expect a few mild headaches over the following 3 or 4 days, coupled with irritability and mood swings. You will probably be slightly depressed, and lethargic. All of these symptoms clear up within about two weeks, depending on how much you smoked and how much body fat you have. You will start to notice increased alertness, especially in the mornings, and better stamina and energy throughout the day.
I hope this helped.

Listen Asmodeeus, seven years ago, Ultima Online didn't even have those pathetic "quests" that you refer to or those "professions" of ninja, samurai, necromancer, and paladin. Nor did it have any of the neon crap, or bug mounts. It didn't even have any "combat moves." You turned on attack and jousted with simplistic swings. It was a better game then. if you can't guess why then just uninstall the thing and move along. - Crabby
About knowing people that had to much THC in there body that they threw up the next morning. I dont see how thats possible. THC is proven to cure nausea. Plus exactly how much did they smoke. Ive sat around with some friends and smoked an Ounce of weed in an hour or two quite a few times. And once I was sick Headache stomac ache. After I was done smokeing i never felt better.
And about people losing friends because you smoked weed is stupid. I never lost a friend because of smokeing weed. And I never lost a Girlfriend from it either. Yeah my girlfriend wasnt all for it but you have to respect peoples decisions. And if your friends dont like you for who you are then are they really your friends.
I quit smoking bud a couple times in the 8 years ive been smoking it cuz of probation and feeling that I just needed to take a break from it. My friends that I smoked with everyday still liked me for who I was they just didnt stop liking me cuz I didn't smoke weed anymore. Real friends do care about you but they also like you for who you are now and who you will become. People change, you can't expect to be the same person from the time you were born till the time you die.
HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah sure your not addicted you quit and started back up 8 times, rofl can we say CRUTCH! Try living life without artificial joy. So you never lost a GF or friends from weed, ok, how about from your personality, possibly because of your chosen lifestyle with pot? No maybe? People who quit smoking , drinking , drugs who go back, quit again obviously are addicted, or they wouldn't go back.
To make the choice to go back means you have issues that only chemicals in your opinion can solve
Thoom: Try commenting on things you have actual experience with, instead of parroting propaghanda you learned in Junior High.

i also wanna bring this up about this thread....
this is a forum for kinda hardcore gamers.....most computer people dont get high or do illegal actions, so it's hard for some of them to understand the average pot smoker's lifestyle(which varies from person to person and place to place)
most of yall are a bunch of nerds who cant grasp idea that some people just wanna get high; i know this because i've met many people throughout my gaming irl.....i dont give a fuck about medical marijuana, hemp, or any other use of weed, cept to get blazed, high, or relaxed.
its a way of life and regardless of "laws", i'm going to do what i wanna do. i didnt vote or ask for most of these laws that govern and control my life, so fuck it.
Mmmm i dont why im replying to this i promised myself i never would reply to things like this >.< Heres a long and annoying story so most of you probably wont read it.
-Guam 7 Years of Age [Just got home from school with a young freind David and Genette (Brother and Sisters of one another)]
David : We found these in our brothers room, we asked him about it and he said their cigarettes he said we can have them if we want.
Genette : I still dont know what to do with them.
Young Girl : My brother uses those, you light them and puff on them.
-Florida 14 Years of Age [School]
The young girl is hiding behind a tree with a few freinds their smoking cigarettes during lunch in the courtyard. The young girl is right now under the influence of a single 'acid stamp' that her sister gave her. Her sister moved in not too long ago and since then they have been completely close. They have been going over to freinds houses and smoking weed everyday, after lunch before lunch. The young girl never has to pay so why not take all the drugs her sister offers, acid, Triple C's, shrooms. All of that nonsense this 14 year old girl has already tried (Doesnt sound too unbelievable what with most cases these days its similar, but to this girl it didnt seem right, why couldnt she just stop?) Finally after months of watching her sister lie to her father for drug money she quit, she never took drugs from her sister again, she never went with her sister anywhere she never asked her anything she never talked to her. One day the sisters get in a fight, the older one is of course MUCH larger than the younger one so the younger one gets thrown into the computer which we was trying to play (Future being she basically gets addicted to the stupid hunk of wires). Apparently the younger sister plays too much games and the older one wants to chat online, about you guessed it..weed and getting with her freinds that night. The father breaks it up and the younger sister tells him everything, he beleives it until the older sister yet again lies. So all that for basically nothing the lieing sister won in the end and the younger sister was in trouble for telling about her past history, so why not keep doing drugs if she was beleived to be doing them anyways..
-15 Years of Age [Christmas Break just got out and the young girl just moved back to Florida with her father after spending the first half of ninth grade with her mother in California]
It was a day like any other she went to school she still smoked cigarettes but it had been quite awhile since she did any hardcore drugs. She had smoked like maybe two 'bowls' awhile back but nothing big, right? This girl carries a large box cutter in a hidden pocket in her wallet for things not needing to be mentioned. There is a girl who reminds her much of her sister, that same day this girl gets the young girls girlfreind whom she loved so much to break up with her over the STUPIDEST thing which the young girl still hasnt been told why anyways. This pisses the girl off, she has a cigarette and during lunch lets her mouth go completely out of whack. She pulls the razor to the young girls throat and tells her if she fucks with her or any of her other freinds again she will rip off her head and feed it to her boyfreind. (sorry about the 'vulgar stuff' i can edit it out if asked to. Just trying to tell this story as exact as possible) She pulls the blade away, goes to class and falls asleep she wakes up with the dean holding her hand. To cut it short the blade was taken away she was sent to 'Pensacola Child Behavior Mental Unit' for about two weeks. After she was out she was sent to a Probation Officer. And due to a FEINT trace of drugs in her system is now on probation until the age of 19, she stays in her house all day she has to be homeschooled, she has no freinds now. I guess i should mention that at this time the girl was under the affect of Acid...all of this started with a simple cigarette. The girl still smokes cigarettes, she knows she shouldnt.
Guess who this girl is..i can honestly say you should just quit. It may seem like you can do it so easily right now but it takes alot of hard work. I still havnt quit cigarettes, ive limited to barely one a week but until you quit quit it doesnt matter. This story might seem like it doesnt matter, but it does.
I suck at my characters.
Annoying indeed.

I tried reading your story, but its just too poorly written, and doesn't seem to have a point. Cigarettes make you become an acid tripping lesbian with a box cutter?

HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah sure your not addicted you quit and started back up 8 times, rofl can we say CRUTCH! Try living life without artificial joy. So you never lost a GF or friends from weed, ok, how about from your personality, possibly because of your chosen lifestyle with pot? No maybe? People who quit smoking , drinking , drugs who go back, quit again obviously are addicted, or they wouldn't go back.
To make the choice to go back means you have issues that only chemicals in your opinion can solve
First of I never quit and started up 8 times it was only 2 times. READ MORE CAREFULY. To tell you the truth, Im not addicted, The first time because I had to,or else i would have went to jail and then when I could smoke again I did by choice. Not because I had to or I would flip out and go insain or my body was hurting from withdraw.
Belive me I know what addiction is and looks like. I was addicted to cigarettes for a long time. When your addicted to something you can't function and dont feel normal without that chemical in your body. My uncle is addicted to Alcohol and he has to drink a few beers just to feel normal, If he dont drink he gets weak and light headed, My cousin is addicted to caffine if he dont drink pepsi he gets cold sweats and gets shakey.
I could have smoked anytime I wanted to during that year of pobation. yeah I did think about it everday but woulndt you if lets say you couldt play your favorate MMORPG all of a sudden. I choose to do It because its fun and I enjoy it.
The second time I just needed a break It just wasnt as fun as it used to be. Just like if you play a video game for to much its just dont have the same appeal. And then a few months later Its just like new. Once again I choose to start up again not because I felt like I had to. Thats why im not addicted. When someone is "Addicted" to drugs they will do anything possible to get there hands on that drug. Of which something ive never had to do.
And as for Kel you are the type of people that should smoke pot you have to much anger towards people. I would never wish that apon someone Even the biggest crack head or heroin addict in the world.
