drugs help: Should I try weed? - Help.com

Why not? Just don’t get addicted.

when i use to smoke it made me feel happy but the more i did it the more paranoid i got.

i don’t see anything wrong with it in itself as long as you don’t get addicted to it. there is the legality issue. you could go to jail or get “possession of an illegal drug” on your permanent record, but its your life.

my boyfriend smokes it i dont and i dont want to but hes not like the typical type all bummed out! hes got a brillant job and turns up for work everyday hes intelligent and weed does not effect him in any way but its different for everyone if your wondering if hes so screwed together than why does he take it its because he likes to he said he would never touch another drug at all hes been smoking weed for years now! and he smokes it near enough all the time well when he can get hold of it! but i wouldnt do it myself as im not intersted in all that!

I personally never liked it much. I have done it, but it only makes me tired, hungry, and thirsty. Not fun.

dont know where my post went then but it might turn up twice lol but my bf takes it and hes really together on it he has a full time job and shows up for work everyday and is in a high position in it! hes not one of these that are out of it on it! hes intelligent if your wondering why he takes it its because he loves it and he smokes it as often as he can get it. i dont smoke it myself and wouldnt as im not interested it depends how you feel about it. but i dont mind being around it but would never try it as it doesnt appeal to me!!

it will show you more of yourself. be comfortable with the trip and especially with the people around you and yes, treat it with respect. as for the illegal aspect, dont give it a thought. youll have fun =)

do it, do it, everybody’s doin it…peer pressure peer pressure!!!

I apoligise for the long post but i feel your question is worth the time.
No, do not fall into the trap of becoming a drug user. I would consider Americ & Anonymous’s posts above as well.
you have stayed clean all this time, why would you destroy your perfectly formed, perfectly thinking brain and just think … all your brain cells are still healthy and intact. why not keep them? there is so much controversy over this drug. it is not the innocent drug that it is made out to be. you can be fined for driving on it as it alters your perception and thinking on the road, it alters the way you feel about people and things, it calms some people and it makes others paranoid, there is medical research out that claims it destroys your brain cells over time. certainly people smoke it and go to work the next day but over time the mind will dull and it will be noticeable. some people smoke it to become calm and some smoke it to escape. some smoke it because they don’t see the harm because it is a plant growing out of the ground and therefore it must be natural and alright to smoke it. we forget that these plants are cultivated by growers and what you are smoking is not an innocent weed, it is a mind altering drug despite how mild and harmless people claim it to be. do you know that the “peace, love and woodstock” hippies of the 60’s laid down their “joints”, turned their backs on the liberal movement and went back to university to make some “conservative” money. weed made things too easy and too laid back and it didn’t help that weed gives you the “munchies” and you have to pay the “conservative” dollar for those snacks. so if the hippies said no to drugs and they were quite the dope smokers of the time then you may want to think about that as well. some people will advance to the next drug since the first one hasn’t hurt them, so they think. please heed this advice. i watched so many kids start on weed and advance to meth. many of them will never be the same, many of them will have psychosis for the rest of their lives, many of them put themselves in the psych ward of the hospitals to recover, other kids have died. i was in the medical profession, i have seen a lot of this and it all started with … weed. you may try it and never graduate to the next drug but in time you will feel the effects. also be careful, i know many people who chose not to try it or continue smoking it because the dealers now lace it with meth. these dealers don’t touch drugs … does that not tell you something? they want to have their wits about them at all times, even the dealers are aware of the effects of weed on their brains, they want to remain sharp in order to acquire as many customers as they can.
i understand the above posts as to the “try it” aspect. they enjoy having an alter experience and that is what Dr. Timothy preached during the 60’s, he encouraged kids to open their minds and experiment with a drug, acid, in order to open their minds and fly. well, kids did fly….right off buildings, etc. thinking they could. yes, with weed you will feel euphoric, the world around you will seem brighter for the time before you come down, you will feel numb to your own pain or problems for a brief time, it will take you out of reality and show you a happier time for a time. then you will come down and you will want more. reality is hard, reality is for the strong, reality is for the living. reality is for people who have to think quick in a bad situation and save a life. i have seen so much pain caused by a child to the child smoking his or her first joint. if you havn’t done it, don’t do it. spend your “dope smoking time” doing something useful and productive such as being there in a normal state of mind for others that would benefit from your solid and drug free mind. ….just my opinion…now it’s up to you. good luck with your decision.(smile)

ok first off, im not sure if this is what you said or not, but no one has ever died from weed so do not fear.
plants like weed show us states of consciousness that are achievable anyway, without the chemical. the reason many people get hooked and become victims of the “gateway” scenario is that they identify these altered states as being a result of the drug only.

so timothy Leary had an incomplete idea because it left people clinging to the acid or the weed rather than the pure consciousness.

in other words, do not look to the drugs to fulfill your desires for advanced consciousness or you will end up in a lost daze of come-downs and emptiness

everyone has so much to say about weed but has noone considered that alcohol does just as much damage if not more than weed.i been smoking for years and i dont feel its done me any harm.i find myself in the worst situations when i drink but when i smoke im happy i never feel depressed from it like i do from drink.people who dont take drugs think weed is a door to other things and i disagree.as long as its controlle whats the harm

i agree raplin, when i smoke it feels like i’m daydreaming and no matter how sad i feel before, after i feel so…happy ☺

indeed.whenever im struggling to sleep or feeling down or wound up.i spark up a joint and my worries melt away just like i do lol.nothing is more relaxing.it helps us sleep,helps with eating disorders,calms us what more could you want.on the other hand drink gets us agitated,it is the most common root of violence not only on the streets but in relationships,it makes you feel depressed,it gives a hangover,it makes you sick…i could go on and on here

well, i don’t drink, so that’s good right? i haven’t smoked in a while…i think i needed to yesterday but i didn’t have any bud. i need to get some before i do something stupid again!!

ive been off it for a few weeks now and i dont feel any different.sure it would be nice to smoke a spliff and watch some tv or something but im 6 and half dozen with or without.

ew. i would never get high and watch tv. im so sensitive to the world wen im high and watchn tv would mash my brain…

personally, herb is all i need. it just makes my whole dam day better and everything is funny. like the stupidest things are hysterical but its up to you, id say its worth a try as long as you are with fun people. do it with people that can make you laugh when you sober cause you’ll laugh uncontrollably if you faded. as for the people who say “dont get addicted” you shouldnt listen to them because they usually dont know what they are talkin about. it is impossible to get physically addicted to weed. as for psycologically, thats a different story. if you smoke everyday for a few years it becomes party of your routine and dayly life and that is when you can become addicted but you have to smoke a few pounds before that even becomes a possibility.

i myself love weed. it is alot better for you than smoking cigs. im not going to recommend that you try it because that would be wrong but if you do try it make sure you are safe with it and you are around people you trust
