Have you ever tried marijuana in your life?

used to smoke it on a daily basis, about an 1/8th a day for about three years, age 17-19, then my lungs felt like they were collapsing (smoked menthol cigs too), turned out to be a non cancerous tumor on my chest next to my heart. Shit changed my life completely and scared me straight after all the heart tests and stuff to figure out what the hell was wrong...knew something wasnt right...anyway havent smoked a cigarette or joint in 11 years and never would again...not saying those two were the cause for my problem at all...god gives u a sign i guess and u choose to do with it what u need...that was my take...i actually ended up going to class and work and the rest is history.
still love the smell of a good bag of skunk though and miss some of my old weed heads.

PURE IGNORANCE
Its a quote from South Park.
| Mr. Mackey: | [a bit tipsy.] We are young, nkay? Heartache to heartache, we stand, 'kay? No promises, no demands, han, han, 'kay? Hoowhoa! Is this my house? |
|---|---|
| Landlord: | [smokng a cigar] Your key ain't gonna work, Mackey! I changed the locks! |
| Mr. Mackey: | Why, Mr. Freeley? |
| Mr. Freeley: | I'm not rentin' to you anymore! I heard that you got fired from your job for selling drugs to children! |
| Mr. Mackey: | No no no! 'Kay? Ih, it wasn't like that. |
| Mr. Freeley: | Drugs are an illegal narcotic! And having never taken drugs, I can say that they have nothing to offer! |
| Mr. Mackey: | But I've never taken drugs either. |
| Mr. Freeley: | I've never taken drugs, and look at me! I'm totally fine! Now get off my property before I lose control and kill you! [takes out his cigar and throws it away] |
| Mr. Mackey: | Huuhh? [Freeley throws a rock at Mackey, which strikes him on the left side of the head, and Mackey falls] OW, ukay?! |
| Mr. Freeley: | Drug user! Druuug user! |
| Mr. Mackey: | [struggles to get up] Uh, uh. [tries to dodge the rocks Freeley is chucking at him] |
| Mr. Freeley: | Come back here, dammit! |
| Mr. Mackey: | Whoa, wait! [ends up running away] |

im still "trying" it regularly...
But I dont believe in smoking... "stick and fire" method is for 20th century cave men... bongs, pipes, joints, all of it...
time to evolve...
I use a vaporizer and then grind and extract the thc from the left overs, using butter that is then used to make cookies...
1. It is a more efficient use of the plant material...
you can vaporize on multiple cycles and temperatures with the same stuff... then eat it when it is done as the heat has activated the thc for eating...
2. Cleaner experience...
No bong water, no weed smoke smell, no sticky/gross resin, no burning yourself, no need for a lighter...
no hacking on smoke, to me it is like breathing ashes after switching..
3. healthier to lungs...
no sore lungs, burn throat, shortness of breath
4. Lasts longer
the high is not so up and down like with smoking and actually lasts 2-3 hours instead of 30-45 min...

As Bill Maher says...The only thing pot ever did was give people the urge to eat Doughnuts.
The differences between Pot and Alcohol are immeasurable.
No hangover the day after...how many days have you wasted in your life just laying around because of a shitty hangover.
Ask yourself this...would you rather get in the car with a drunk or high person? You acutally Slow Down when high.
Good sex...Nuff said on that subject
Why pot is illegal but booze is...is just stupid. If the government legalized it and taxed it, and put the same restrictions as alcohol, (No one under 21, etc)....watch the economy get better.
Having said all that....never touched the stuff

There is a big difference in the guns analogy. The intended use of a gun is to maim, injure or kill. It does that by its very nature. The intended use of marijuana is promote excessive intake of doritos and pink floyd music.

Come on now... MILK? That was a horrible analogy in response. MJ has been proven to have negative health implications whereas milk has not. So lets at least compare apples to apples. I think that the alcohol comparisons people have been making have merit. I honestly cannot say that I don't completely disagree with some of those comparisons. Bottom line is that MJ and other drugs are illegal and alcohol is not. It is because it is illegal that people are getting killed over it. Whether or not I think it should be legalized doesn't reflect my comment to the original poster that people are getting killed over this drug. That was my point to the person I originally responded to. The rest of the debate I can see both sides and honestly I haven't decided as of yet but if it ever comes to a vote I will exercise my legal right and vote one way or another. But I can guarantee you it will never come to a vote before me, unless I become a U.S. Rep or Senator anytime soon. LOL and BOL!

smoking is cool with me in moderation but i prefer 2 smoke alone(wow the topics some potheads bring up). our govt hasn't figured a way to govern it so for now it is illegal. it is also scientifically proven that marijuana does not harm the body, it is a natural herb.
Don't chase today, there's always tomorrow in gambling....

Its an herb, so it can't be bad for the body
Doesn't sound scientific ALL smoke is carcinogenic.0

You had highlighted a poster's comment noting that nobody had ever been killed by marijuana. You responded by pointing to violence by individuals caused by the drug's illegality. His point was still correct and your LOL and correction was absurd. Again, marijuana, to my knowledge, has never killed anybody. And that's pretty impressive given that just about anything can kill you - heck, too much water can kill you.

Dear Lord you reefer people are obsessed with this subject. If my analysis is too obtuse for you and not concrete enough try this link on for size. The Center for Effective Drug Abuse Research and Statistics has found marijuana only related deaths in 2002 (date of the study) around 157. It is hard to find marijuana only related deaths as people who die due to drug usage often use other drugs too. So this study was able to provide that data. My guess is that there is more but it is hard to discrene if marijuana was the only drug used. Notice this study also only deals with major metro areas so I am certain again this number is skewed as it relates to a nationwide study. But in either event you can now consider that BS claim by your friend false. For goodness sakes if the Internet can kill someone how did you honestly believe a drug cannot kill you?
