Well I just want to know people's opinions on weed. There have been quite a few changes in the world lately about it, and even where I am in Ontario they're talking about legalizing it. I was just wondering what this community had to say.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with it. Sure it messes you over when you're high, but as long as your responsible with it it's fine imo. I don't smoke a lot, and I'm not the kind to go seek it out, but if it's there and I'm offered, sure why not :)

Just leave a reply please ;)

I've been thinking about it a lot, and the hardest question for me to accept and know is simply why would one do drugs.

And yes, weed is a drug, no matter what dumb, illogical logic you use.

But anyway, I have been thinking and can't really make up my mind. I dunno, oh well.

I can't decide either.. I live in ontario too.. the 420 ppl all wanna legalize it and I think the government might give in.. Why I can't decide is because the first time I tried it (only tried it once).. It make my forehead feel tight as hell, and dried the hell outta my throat (virgin lungs here.. Can't even stand car smoke).. I was coughing so bad I thought my throat would bleed god.. that was literally the first and last time I ever ever went near it.. No I don't have asthma it's just I stay so healthy I can't stand any smoke or anything..

Someone mind explaining the Jamaican option? Is that the un-decided option or is that the "Meh smoke a lotta trees" option..

I just don't like it when kids try to brag just because they smoke weed and they think they are cool. If you wanna smoke sometimes, fine that's your thing. But the whole world doesn't need to know about it.

I smoke because it's an artificial way to quickly induce a lasting parasympathetic response, which my body enjoys. :3

Well I find when I get high that I can feel things a lot more. For me my first time it was my sandals that bugged the hell outa me, felt so tight and restricting on my feet. But everyone gets like that with the dry throat, the trick is to have water ;D

The way I see it is you can`t really judge it until you have tried it. Honestly it doesn`t hurt you as much as the government tries to get people to think it does, unless you are stupid and smoke out of plastic or aluminum on a long term scale. Before I tried it I was against it, but now i see that it was the media that put that in my head, because it`s not as bad as people make it out to be. Honestly alcohol is stupider then weed :p

I dont mind if other people do it, but I hate foriegn substances entering my lungs and effecting my brain

Just simply because it is a drug doesnt mean its bad for you. if thats what your implying.

I trip bad when I smoke weed. I actually ended up being in a weird haze state or something called derealization for like 5 days straight. It was like everything was a weird dream for 5 days, couldn't feel my body at all. (actually, it's just starting to wear off) I personally don't care if you want to smoke weed. I get a good high sometimes and sometimes I trip bad. I smoked this "legal" weed once and it was like 3x as strong as weed and 20 minutes seemed like 4 hours and I was running around splashing water on my face and I drank like 12 bottles of water.

I feel the same way. I don't care if you do whatever, just don't brag about it. (insert xbox live gamertags: xX420kush24x7x)

Can you add another option "I don't really care", because that pretty much sums it up for me. I am not against it or totally for it ..

That's not what I'm asking at all. That's not WHY you do it. There is a cause and effect that's deeper than that. It's the same thing I ask about everything I'm confused about.. why would one be gay? why would one be an actor? why would one do drugs? There's always a reason for things (not some sort of bullshit higher cause nonsense, but there is a reason why people differ, and it has to do with what they've dealt with in life.. life is simply one traumatic experience after another which is who we are today).

And since I know that people do things due to traumatic experiences, I know why people would be gay, why people would do drugs, etc.. There's no logical explanation besides that that I've ever thought/heard of.

However, since I know that life is all about trauma, wouldn't it be good to support those traumatic events? Why would being emotionally healthy make any sense? I partially just think my medication is making me think weird thoughts, but it also makes sense consistently, so I dunno.

But think about this.. Why would anyone who was emotionally healthy ever deliberately decrease their lifespan for any reason? Why would people smoke cigarettes or eat too much and not be healthy? To me, there's no doubt that it's because of something they're not happy with that happened earlier. And not a single person I've ever heard of who has/does smoke, drink, isn't healthy, does any drugs, whatever, has had something that I can definitely point to and say "that was a major factor in their life that pushes them to smoke weed," and so I just don't know.

That's not what I said.

I've smoked a good amount but have not in the past 4 or so years. Drinking is my choice of poison currently. I have nothing against the drug or the people who use it. You are the one who chooses how to compose yourself.

This is what I would write as well. Also, I'm not for drugs, I prefer to be healthy and active. Also, I don't need a plant to up my mood, my life is fine without having to "handicap it" with drugs.

haha funny thing is that I also thought weed/cigs were very bad for your health. But once I tried it, I became a strong believer for the legalization of marijuana :)…Getting high feels so great and I become a different person (which is also great!).

As long as you can control your intake, you should be fine…I'm not addicted to weed and only smoke when necessary…

God said use it… just don't abuse it.

Added "Don't Care" as an option. I also don't care.

Texas been talking about it… but court won't let it even take a step higher lol…
cases pop up like no other…Just can't find a way out there though.

I would not want Weed to be legalized at all…
it's so low and junkie overall, no fence smokers ;)
Economy for the sellers will be a outrages Boom…!
Kids will be open up about smoking and have way so easier access to it.
Random people on the streets would always be Baked and just a abnormal atmosphere.
Les talk about Free Text Books for Colleges Yeah? cause this topic is just a waste! :)

Sorry for the double post, but actually people thought the same thing when they made the drinking age 21. But that didnt seem to be the case, it was actually harder to get alcohol and a lot of people underage actually stopped just simply because it was so much harder to get access to.

This would be the same case if they were to legalize marijuana. it would be a lot harder to get access for younger people and then a lot of the people doing it to "fit in" would most likely severely slow down if not stop use.

And yes, i agree that a lot of people would be walking down the streets baked out of there minds, but a lot of people do that with alcohol too. The same rules would apply for weed as it would for alcohol, you cant drive while baked, and if you are being disruptive at a restaurant or a store, they can ask you to leave if you are being a disruption.

It really isn't that bad, possession of an ounce or less is legal here in Denver and I rarely see random people tripping balls in the streets. They usually go home to smoke. There are a ton of dispensaries everywhere though, it's kinda funny when you see dispensaries built right next to rehab centers :D

First of all, if you smoke weed a lot, unlike alcohol, you don`t get as mindfucked. Weed is something you build a resistance to. ;)

It seems to work just fine in Amsterdam. And why would it be allowed to walk drunk on the streets, but not stoned? That's just ridiculous. If you're drunk you're far more dangerous.

Used to smoke daily for a few years, on top of other miscellaneous drugs. Couldn't handle it and have since quit all mind altering substances. I really wouldn't care if it was legal tho, maybe then the government could focus their attention on more important things.

Couldn't agree more with this. Shame Amsterdam has been kinda ruined with people that drink alcohol. They had to put lines where you have to stay behind, and be more alert about disruptive behaviour. Unlike when I when I went in the 90's when I was a kid. It was so chilled out and the only problem they had was Moroccans that at night tried to rob you like you could get robbed anywhere anyway.

Weed is a wonderful thing, used in moderation and not to be abused like any drug. I believe alcohol is the one of the worst drugs out there, causes more problems than most drugs.

It has been a few weeks ago since I've been to Amsterdam. It was completely fine and safe there then. That it has went down so hard… :S

I ain't been there for like 5 years tbh lol. when I went in 1995, things seemed really relaxed and chilled out (maybe because I was young). Ridding around on a bicycle, going on the paddle boats, smoking spliffs everwhere, generally having a good time. Things seemed more restrictive over the years I went back. And alot of people said its more to do with the alcohol, why it got like that. Ah I don't know, just my perspective of it.

I couldn't agree more! Alchohol is poisen

Personally i'd rather have a stoner drive me instead of a drunk. I mean even though you start feeling so mellow and relaxed and shit, a stoner will always know how to make a left turn. I don't understand how Alcohol is legal when it's indeed much worse then weed.

The government could make millions by legalizing it. Would probably be safer for the consumers as well. If it was properly regulated you'd have marijuana that isn't laced with all sorts of shit. I think overall, it would be a smart move, and I feel like there's no decent argument against it, especially when both alcohol and cigarettes are legal.

If you haven't already, watch The Union. Mind-blowing.

wait, you don't do drugs?

You don't have to be 100% clean to be against or unsure of drugs, i know for myself I am still kinda unsure and I do weed on occasion.

This. Over the last few months I've been mostly sober. Smoked a few times (literally have taken maybe three to five hits in the past several months), and drank a bit once. Haven't been too high or drunk any time recently, for the exact reasons I said.

I still have been thinking about it, because I know weed isn't bad for you (other than possibly leading to schizophrenia, and when I found that out I was mindfucked.. not that it was thought it could happen, but it finally made sense why it would), but it's still a drug. So I'm not sure..

I know I'm definitely not straight edge or anything.. The few times I have in the past few months were because it was a social occasion (friend's 18th, seeing some old friends, and the like.. also I like to smoke a little every time I up my medication in case somehow it interferes with higher doses, I'd like to know before I get blazed and am just too high for hours and hours (happened before)), and that's fine with me.

I dunno. it's an interesting thing for me to think about.

yes weed may be a drug, but so is caffiene alcohol nicotine, msg, and 1000's of other things you will take on a regular basis, in my opinion caffiene is a very bad drug, i still drink energy drink some times, but i dont really like them that much they mess with you head, but im all about weed, im smoking a spliff now :D

I myself smoke on occasion but am still unsure. Was 16 when i left school 2003 smoked as much weed as i could all through the holidays and fucked myself enrolling onto any course instead i hung around there with mates getting baked out our brains and watin for all the health and beauty girls. i wasted 2 years on not being assed todo jack shit just smoke weed and chill.
Most the people i know who still smoke it are not doing much with there lives
They all talk about what there going to do like i did myself and then 6 moths later there still in there one bed flat smoking weed telling me there new great idea.

What i'm trying to say is weed when not managed properly can easy put a long pause on your progress in life.You know your self if you have a problem with it you start to question your self thats when i knew to knock it on the head i now only smoke about 2-3 joints if that a week.

So to all you so called smokers on here have a think about your self what havn't you done.And why not.

Peace out

Just to let you know, I feel the same way. I don't drink much caffeine, hardly ever drink alcohol, don't have any nicotine intake, etc.

I know exactly what your saying sadly :( I do believe like I said before its ok when not abused because all its doing is taking away your will to do things "cant be bothered" as people on weed say. I have quit before for like 3 and a half years. Life was grate had a girl and everything then we split and after a while of being bored I started smoking again. My biggest problem tho, with smoking weed is my health, although I think its more the tobacco it's not a good idea to smoke at all really but maybe better to eat the weed in things or put it in tea. I do like the high and always will as I enjoy playing games stoned and even scripting ;) :p but I am cutting down again, I think it's time to give up again, for my health.

I can see how weed would be a lot more less harmful than cigarettes or alcohol.

However, I'm not really interested in any of that, but I'd probably be pro-legalization (only because it would set more precedent to what the government doesn't restrict).

Just what bothers me are people flaunting it (especially when it's illegal federally atm), thinking they're 'cool' for smoking, or being literally addicted to it (just like any other addiction; don't mean a chemical addiction). The abusers usually ruin it for the rest.
