Weed for the first time?

[Ryan]

This is the main reason I'd say no to smoking, it changes a person in so many ways, most the people I know who smoke weed regularly are lazy and unmotivated and do nothing with their life.

I second this.

What Chloe said is completely ignorant.

If you're wanting to try it, go for it. It's not that bad for you, and on your first try it will barely affect you - meaning your body won't react in a way that you'll feel high/blazed (on your first try).

It's good not to make a habit of it however.

Marijuana is only good for you WHEN YOU DON'T LET IT CONTROL YOUR LIFE.

I threw all my money in to it (I recently quit) the side effects of smoking weed for a long time is the appetite. Without Marijuana you'll be able to eat like 1/10 of what you would if you smoked.

Here is a tip for people reading my post:

SWEATING RELEASES THC/TOXINS. I was working out and sweating for 2 weeks (I was still smoking in these 2 weeks) and I quit, the next morning I thought my appetite would be fucked but I was able to eat regularly because I sweated out those toxins in 2 weeks. No hastle with appetite.

Babe has a point, it's a great thing to try but shouldn't be made into a habit. I've been smoking weed for 5-6 years now and there's been points in that time where I'd smoke it all day everyday. This is where it starts having negative effects like laziness, less motivation, you'll just want to smoke weed and play video games, or something that doesn't require a lot of physical activity Smoking it the odd time is fine (Preferably in a social setting) you'll find it gives a nice high and if you're with your friends you'll be motivated into doing fun things instead of crashing at home playing video games.

On a side note babe, after smoking weed then taking Gym class my sweat would always smell like weed haha

@OP how was your weed experience? Did you try it?

My life is going pretty good as well: I'm 16, have a job, am in school, etc. I just find time to "smoke weed" as it's more interesting in my opinion as opposed to drinking. Look at some of the facts surrounding cannabis - there are hardly any detrimental factors to consider when consuming cannabis (if done safely) whatsoever. Just don't be moronically open about your usage and you should be fine. This is coming from somebody who after trying alcohol for the first time, never drank again. I am not a fan of alcohol intoxication stupidity. I'm able to control myself when high, which is preferable to the sloppiness of a drunk. Try marijuana in a controlled area where you will be safe for hours. Research how to smoke without leaving a smell, or even find a place to bake cannabis to achieve an edible high. You won't get addicted, that's not physically possible. You can, however, develop a psychological dependence on it but this is only in extreme cases.

toke up its super fun and enjoyable with friends

 

It will you bring nowhere, otherwise , you'll lose cash on it. Just be strong, its same as with smoking, if you'll be like 20 and never touch cigerret you like 95% chance of that you'll never touch it again. As teenager you think completely different than adult person.

He wouldn't get caught with copious amounts of marijuana, so really the charge is only going to be magistrate worthy; a fine, at the worst a anti-drug course.



The worst that'll happen, is that the plant has been sprayed, and you smoke it, leaving you with a weed headache. There is really no such thing as a bad bud, unless it has been laced with heroin, methamphetamine's etc etc, but that wouldn't happen, as the dealer is trying to make money not lose money.



Most stoners are the most creative people I know. The stereotype of a weed smoker whom just sits there and does nothing and plays with themselves all day, is a blatant lie; to an extent. When I get high, I want to get up and do stuff, I want to go explore and do fun things. Some very successful people are avid smokers.. Joe rogan, Ronald Reagan, Oprah Winfrey used to smoke marijuana, Wiz khalifa, A$AP rocky, A$AP ferg, Juicy J, Project Pat, whoopi goldberg, Justin Timberlake HELL even Barack Obama has openly admitted to smoking marijuana, before. So, tell me now, that smoking marijuana can make your life go down the wrong path? That is a load and a half. My father smoked marijuana for 18 years, avidly, and he was at one stage, a very successful man, a multi millionaire.



Weed is not a gateway drug. The only reason people say that, is because most addicts whom tell their story, all started using marijuana first and there's a strong correlation between marijuana and other drugs. According to the NIDA (National Institute of Drug Abuse) someone who smokes marijuana is 104x more likely to try other drugs such as cocaine or heroin; the problem here is correlation isn't cause. A Bikie member is probably 104x more likely to have ridden a bicycle as a child in comparison to those who don't become bikies, but that's not to say riding a 2 wheeler is a "gate way" to joining a bikie gang? It's just some people ride bikes, and those who don't are highly unlikely to join a motorcycle gang.

At the end of the day, if you want to try marijuana, go for your life. It agrees with some people and to others; it doesn't. It can worsen a case of schizophrenia, paranoia, and anxiety, but it cannot cause these things.

I feel like this was completely ignored so I wanted to bump this post.

Edit: I work 54 hours every week, I also have my own welding fabrication buisness. I smoke weed on weekends and have been doing so since I was 14 or 15, weed can hurt someone the same way alchohol can but nobody ever seems to have issues having a beer.

It's only a gateway drug if you let it.
