What if I love smoking pot and I don't want to?

Recent Study:

Dec. 14, 2007 – New research from Canada shows that some toxins may be more abundant in marijuana cigarettes than tobacco cigarettes.

The researchers burned 30 marijuana cigarettes and 30 tobacco cigarettes on a machine in their lab, measuring levels of chemicals in the smoke.

Ammonia levels were up to 20 times higher in marijuana smoke than in tobacco smoke. Levels of hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen-related chemicals were three to five times higher in marijuana smoke than in tobacco smoke.

Mac, just so you know you dont directly die from smoking weed, you can die from stupid things you do when your stoned or from long term effects of it but its not going to kill you instantly and you cant OD on it. And amblessed think about it, amonia levels may be up to 20 times higher in marijuana but people who smoke marijuana smoke less than peole who smoke cigartettes. A heavy marijuana smoker will smoke maybe 2-3 marijuana cigarettes a day but a heavey cigarette smoker can smoke a 5 or more PACKS of cigarettes a day so smoking is worse if you think about it.

If you like it you shouldnt really feel bad about doing it just dont do it too much and dont let it interfere with the rest of your life and dont get into hard drugs. If you really dont like it then just stop, its only mentally addicting so you dont really “need” it, you just think you do because it makes you feel good. Try finding something else to do to feel good instead of smoking.

The reason you are feeling instantly addicted to it is because it feels really good. This surprises some people, because of all of the anti-drug sentiment ingrained in our society. However, marijuana is still illegal and the worst side-effect of the drug is still the police. I have a very open mind to just about everything, and it saddens me to see people judge others for their drug use. On the other hand, it also saddens me to see those who have decided to escape from their lives even further by living in a haze of drugs without taking the time to live life.

It seems like there is something going on in your life that marijuana has alleviated to a degree. It may seem to be the more stressful or painful choice, but I personally would quit the drugs until you can find the source of your angst. Pray, meditate, go on a spiritual path, or do whatever makes you feel more connected to the world.

well a lot of my friends have been addicted to that typ of stuff for a while now, I think you should smoke it, but not often. and every time you do you should smoke less of it, until you stop, see what I mean!

those 3 times…?? Smoking that is NOT a good thing to get in to. and in the end nothing good comes out of it. My oldest brother was kicked out of the military and then had to go to jail. he lost EVERYTHING. as in a song…::: “If you dont try it the first time.. there wont be a second time””” =] hoped it helped.

dude..it’s only 3 times!!! your not addicted so don’t worry about it..if you don’t like it and aren’t enjoying yourself, then quit. After all, life is subbosed to be enjoyable. It has always been my theory to life, if your not having a good time now, what will you have to look back on when your old and cripled?

yuo guys all act like smoking is such a terrible dangerous thing.

but it isn’t. so get over it.

smoke all the weed you want.

Wow… you sound extremely ignorant and overly opinionated… and constipated…

LMAO

x

Yeah… weed is great. I’ve only done it twice. But it was still great. I don’t CRAVE it.

your hella dumb you shouldin be doin that you could die and does yo mama no about it

…well…doesn’t she?

lol just go with the flow be responsible tho and not stupid

lol dont listen to what people tell u, its all misleading information you need to do your own research and see for urself

These are some of the comments I have copied from a forum

-pharmaceuticals are known to kill more people than illegal drugs

-marijuana is the number 1 cash crop in the world it serves as a natural medicine and has many other uses thats why they prohibited it so big companies can make more profit thanks to “bad journalism”

-can also help aids patients, aids diminishes appetite have them smoke a joint and they regain their appetite counteracting the illness

-no one can die from smoking cannabis and has been no known deaths compared to everything else including alcohol, tobacco, etc..

I myself have asthma and smoking opens up my airways making it easier to breathe with no side effects when medically legalized in my state I look foward to becoming a patient for prescription marijuana. 12 states have already legalized it along with other countries in the world and more following my job is to educate people that are not aware of the plants uses

re-legalize!

-I did most of my research through websites, books, magazines, and the news norml.org high times magazine etc..

• theres more to it than just getting high and I believe legalizing it would make this a better world to live in

-God bless the whole crop!

• and for people that dont smoke, you dont need to smoke it to support it

-all the better reason for the government to legalize.. couple reasons why it should be legalized: -will be removed from black market and stop empowering gang members -medical reasons -would be sold like alcohol, remember alcohol was once prohibited too (in stores away from children, have to be 21+) -would be a law that you cant drive while intoxicated on weed -prison population would lower (prisons are overcrowding with nonviolent offenders) -keep patients from being convicted -would provide millions of jobs for people -would make us an independent country (fuel, etc.., debt free america)

people with an addiction (including hard drugs) shouldnt be thrown in jail, they need help theres more people in jail with mental illnesses than there are in mental institutions

the list goes on

• the War on Drugs is a failure, its a war on its own people. policies need to be changed we pay billions in taxpayers money to keep the war going and neither side is winning thats just a waste of our tax money I wonder what they do with all that money.. those greedy bastards just sell drugs back onto the street, you can even check urself on that there was a time when there was a cia operation transporting drugs overseas into america the government also provided Rick Ross with plenty of heroin to go around, course making money from it

the truth must be exposed, theyre dirty work must stop!

-Of course we can do something about it, we all just need to unite screw the federal government remember slavery? if no one stood up im pretty sure it would still be going on people were tortured, beaten, killed and thrown in jail but that didnt stop them standing up for their rights eventually slavery was abolished same with alcohol prohibition eventually became re-legalized

• its like theres some kind of conspiracy going on I sense the government is up to no good and trying to control us. credit cards, money, and now they have chips that can be implanted in skin for uselful reasons but if in the wrong hands well were pretty much fuct they hiding the truth from us its dangerous to be right when the government is wrong they got theyre privacy but we dont. they want to know everything were doing on our leisure time

get up stand up!

• marijuanas not anti-establishment because its illegal, its illegal because its anti-establishment
