420 Use and Health

[Thunder_Snus]

Thank you most worthless and undeserving celebrity of all time, i see the dangesr of pot use now even more so than when i was forced to sit through the "D.A.R.E" program in 5th grade where I was told it would cause me to die because it would kill all of my brain cells.

Instead of making up a bunch of stuff about weed to lie to children why not just tell them that especially at a younger age smoking weed makes doing nothing feel ok to some people when they could be using that time to learn a new skill

She might be on to something here.

Has anyone actually read any of Crows posts lately?

She's confusing a self control issue with addiction. Pot's addictive the same way TastyKakes are. You get used to it, and get irritable when you don't partake in your daily activity. If it's negatively affecting your life, then stop. After a week or two, you'll be back to normal.

I agree. I feel pot does have a withdrawal somewhat. I saw a piece on TV where they tested people
and found what I myself may have experienced. One may feel irritable and have insomnia for a week or
two but that's not unusual if one takes away something that relaxes one daily.

Coffee is addicting. Many get massive headaches when they stop.
Whatever vice you chose, it's a matter of functioning, health, personal choice,etc..

What I find hypocritical is that about a year or so ago Gaga said, she drank a lot of whiskey and smoked a lot of pot
to help write her songs. I saw her brag about this on TV.

Now will she fade with a series of dud albums or has she already? I don't keep up on her lastest. :-)

Miley toked and Gaga choked on weed.

Madonna survived and would have handled both these events in a more mature manner. IMHO :-)

Once people begin to realise that she's merely a poorly cloned American Björk... Nada mas, nada less.

Another thing I find interesting.

Lady Gaga is a recovering marijuana addict by her own admission.
What about her whiskey drinking? Was it all social drinking? :-)
And if not does she not also consider herself a recovering alcoholic?
Wait until she meets AA. They will mess her head up and she'll find
the weed wasn't the problem the booze was. :-) They don't look kindly
on using alcohol socially if one is an addict to anything, including pot.
A drug is a drug, is a drug, is the AA, NA mantra, of which I do not agree.

Gaga said, "she was smoking 15 to 20 marijuana cigarettes a day". Question: Would that be considered a lot?

[Crow]

Yeah, it's a waste of good herb.

With her money she probably left them burning in an ash tray and took an occasional toke while it burned away. :saturn:

Yeah, it's a waste of good herb.

but only if it WAS good herb. With the stuff we get nowadays 15 or 20 joints would make you unable to function much at all. If I had nothing to do and just laid around all day then 15 joints of crappy weed probably wouldn't do much for me. 15 or 20 joints today would so much a waste of good weed, its a waste of personal functionality and lungs.


With that said.....years ago I wouldn't even go to work without smoking one on the way there. Not because I needed it but because it made me do my job much better and I strived to make everything perfect. It actually worked out quite well in my case......but back then most herb wasn't as powerfull as it is now. If I was still working I couldn't smoke the current strains while working. Hell, even now I only take a few [3 or 4] puffs at nite only.

Now addiction and withdrawals.......I don't believe either has anything to do with herb. I used to go to Cuba for weeks at a time and I never even thought about not smoking it. Never bothered me at all when I was there. Tho I do have to say I would make dam sure my wife had one ready to go when she picked me up at the airport.

...because it would kill all of my brain cells.

Once I tried to do an interpreting job after a weekend spent in a pleasant company of friends and pot. Never in my whole life I had to work harder to remember, translate and retell the speaker´s words. I was literally drenched in sweat from the effort.

So I have to sort of confirm what you are trying to ridicule. If you want to test it yourself, just have a joint or two and then, on the next day, try to do a really intensive mental labor.

And that was a natural stuff grown somewhere around the end of the century. Not the overbred potent stuff I encounter nowadays.

What I am trying to say it do not pretend your drug of choice is harmless. Yes, it´s not heroin, but no, it´s not without undesirable effects.

I enjoy writing computer code whilst high on the mariana. Doesn't slow me down any, in fact, for me it keeps the creativity juices flowing.

Your mileage may vary.

I know a lot of people who are addicted to being stoned all day and night. In my eyes it is the same thing as being a functional alcoholic.
