I don't really know where to begin.I think I will start with hello my name is truth.357 and I smoke maryjane.BUT.....its my drug of choice with dealing with day to day assholes and people who really have no understanding about the world and the way the people view it.Really I do smoke it for reasons... and no not because of an addiction.Hey listen its cool if your an antidepressant pscytso(sorry can't spell for shit) or even just get mode swings because of work or home you have a drug that makes or lets yopu deal with it.Mines just cheaper and can find it everywhere.Also the fact that the ADA can't license or tax it they call it illegal but in the days of lets say a major war (WWII) it was used for pain and other things like their nerves, but no this is no war.Just mental wars with society or everything nowadays. Honestly, if people were going to be lest tight about shit now a days I am pretty sure I wouldn't need it but its just the way it is.You have got your drug of choice shit, I got mine.And plus I don't need some dick telling me that I am just going to need more than one drug but think......MOST of people now adays are on some sort of drug and they don't even need it. THey just think it will help like some psychological drug just to continue with everyday things. Well fuck I will just pay about 20 or 30 a month than 400 or 600 depending how fucked up you are.Oh Well....
Thats the FUCKING truth.357

Wow,you're lost. You don't need marijuana at all. Saying that you take it just to deal with the shit in your life? That's a key identifier of an addiction. You need to get out of that shit before you let it destroy your life.

I think you'd be surprised at how many people don't take the pussy "my life sucks, I need to get high to get through it" way out and actually deal with their problems rather than avoid them.
MOST of people now adays are on some sort of drug and they don't even need it.

I haven't researched on this, and I assume that it would be hard to find accurate research on the topic anyways. But I strongly believe that the majority could not be able to live a normal, successful or even legal life (under the assumption that pot would be legal) if they used marijuana. Sure, many people would be able to show control early on, but eventually it is going to take control of them. The average person does not have the strength of will to over come this addiction and will eventually let things start spiralling towards the center of the toilet bowl. If you know people who are in control of it then they must be very strong or still eraly on in the act. Chances are that the drug will make their lives a joke eventually if they don't give it up immediately.

Then it has only been going on for 3 years. I doubt that you'll be able to resist the addiction to start doing more and more forever, unless you quit. Very few people could. There's going to be a time in your life where things are going to seem to be going to hell. (This time comes often in many people's lives). If you use it now to help you to relax, then inevitably you will start using it for this purpose even more when this time comes, and the addiction will get worse. Then your life will inevitably start to get worse because of this. You won't notice the problem immediately, but when you do you will refuse to admit that the marijuana was the cause of it, there were so many other things going wrong in your life that you couldn't have done things different even if you hadn't smoked the majik reefer. But the truth will be that you probably could have.
Long story short, don't let this happen to you. Quit as soon as possible and find something else to help you relax on your personal time, like a sport or a favorite television show.

Yes you can spew from your fingers.
From The Encarta Dictionary, one definition is : To Say Forcefully, to utter something in an angry, forceful, or relentless way.

I disagree with all of you.
Those of you who are pro-MJ, which is basically truth.357, is on one side of the spectrum. He doesn't just use the MJ to calm his nerves, he uses it to get high, and he gets high so that he can forget his troubles.
On the flip side, I don't buy into all of this "LOL DNT SMOKE WEED ULL KILL SUM1 LOL!!1". I've never smoked it so I can't say for sure, but I've seen people drunk, and I think I can say that more people have killed other people drunk than high. I don't think you should even get high. Just like a puff every once in a while to take the edge off; sometimes you need something to take the edge off. Imagine this scenario. I think if you let other people stress you out you've got other problems. But say for example some guy suffers from not being able to get images out of his head. It's like a hallucination kind of a thing, his brain just tortures him. He can't even look people in the eye because his brain plagues him with defilatory images of them (i.e., he can't look at a little girl because every time he does he has to fight back pedophillic images of himself having sex with her or something, not out of temptation but simply because something in his brain hates him). One puff when it gets real bad quiets it down. It may not even be strong shit. He doesn't use it recreationally, he just uses it medicinally. I don't see a problem with that. It's not chemically addictive. It's not really harmful either. I can't think of anyone who's died from MJ, it's not a hard drug. In fact, cigarettes and alcohol are a lot more addictive and a lot more damaging to the body.

Look, I would like for ya'll to do som research on how many poeple died because of alchohol(over 200,000) and how many people died because of marijuana([B][U]0!!!!) Look, i used to smoke weed, but it didnt work out for me, so i stopped, hell i quit drinking and smoking cigarrettes too... But i can honestly say that if a drug should be illegal, it should be alcohol, not Marijuana... And just how Marijuna is a schedule 1 drug i dont know, hell, they have it rated worse than cocaine... Mainly because when they made the schedule, it was thought that marijuana made you crazy, and you lost all ability to work... This is not true, because i can tell you personally, living on a ranch while i smoked it and training for military(another reason i quit), I did not go crazy, and hell i worked harder than those who got drunk the night before instead of getting high. Alcohol has such a high sugar and fat content that when you go for your morning runs, lets just say, you sweat it all out, and one night of drinking offsets 3 days of training. I suggest you all do some research before you speak, cause you're just making yourself look the bullshitters.

Watch out. Alcohol and marijuana used in the way that you describe don't pertain to any medical benefits either. My problem with cigarettes is the exhaust. It doesn't bother me that others are dumb enough to make themselves addicted to cigarettes, but when I am forced to breathe in their exhaust to go through my daily routine, then something needs to change. Getting drunk and stoned isn't bad either, as long as those who do these things don't allow them to affect others negatively. This may be more difficult than it sounds.

It's not that simple. When people use drugs to lessen their pain, or take care of or at least quiet certain medical conditions it's allright. But when you do things like marijuana, or other such things simply for the pleasure it's wrong. It's wrong because of what you're doing to both yourself and everyone who's affiliated with you. You may argue that it doesn't hurt them and you have things all under control. Even if this is the case now, it won't be forever. Keep on rolling the dice and eventually you'll lose; bigtime.

It may be the same, but that dosen't make it right. YES it IS addictive. Numerous studies have proven this as an undeniable fact. Just because you haven't realized your addiction you think otherwise. Try quitting, just for a few months....see how hard it is. You will eventually be doing it constantly if you keep on doing it and defending it as harmless. Let the long term damages sneak up on you.

OK children, here is a little insight from someone who has studied this. Mary is addictive, just not physically. Anything you use as a crutch or a means to get through the rough times becomes psychologically addictive. That could be anything. Guys anything. Coffee, exersize, work, not just drugs. But somethings are approved by our society, and others are not. It is called adaptive behavior, some is good adaptive behavior and the other is maladaptive.
MJ does have physical side effects. We are just starting to find out about them. But like many other drugs there are positive effects as well. Mophine was used for pain etc. And if the FDA could it could come up with some very useful cannibis based drugs. As for the comdemnation of using it for pleasure, we all do our own version of that every day. When you sit an enjoy the foods that are full of fat and sugar, the chips or twinkie that you know isn't good for you. You are eating those foods for pleasure, not nutrition or you would be eating tofu and brown rice. Even those juicy steaks fall into the same catagory.
While some drugs fall into the catagory of highly physically addictive, the whole need more and more thing, but MJ doesn't fall into that. Which is why most states don't lump it into the same catagory. Truth one nugget for you, there are chemicals in marajuana that mimic estrogen in the human body, it will have an effect on your body givin long term use . Almost like if you took the pill.

I registered for this forum just to post in this thread. You guys take marijuana waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously and to say it can ruin someone's life is absurd. Granted it can be a gateway drug, but I know a lot of people (including myself) that use it responsibly. Paisleyspeaker was absolutely right. It is not physically addictive, so if you ask me you're just a weak human being if you can't stop. The thing with me is, I have no reason to stop. My life is in order, I'm not depressed, and I only smoke bc I like the buzz. I enjoy laughing at things that wouldn't ordinarily be funny.

Cannabis is not a particually addictive drug. Approximately one in ten people develop a psycological addiction to it, usually after a prolonged period of heavy useage, but it is not physically addictive. You are more likely to become addicted to the tobacco you roll it with than the marijuana itself.
I'm not suggesting that smoking weed is completely harmless . Heavy usage has been proven to increase the likelyhood of developing schizophrenia significantly, and can also damage the memory. In my opinion however the risks associated with occasional usage are negligable
I'll also mention that I am a sixteen year old girl from England who, despite knowing the apparent risks, enjoys the odd spliff. I thought I'd provide these facts so that you could try and discredit my opinion by attacking me personally, as that seems to be how things work in these forums.

mary jane is the # 1 saddiest drug in households today it completly drains the life out of a person & we dont become a menace to society over night hun but all in do time it happens. doctors in today's society are so stressed out over 1/2 become addicted and most drugs of choice in the medical field is crack cocaine
I'd like to know where you are getting your facts from.
Abi
P.S I heard that in America its common for people to recieve longer prison sentences for drug related offences than for serious violent crimes. Could anyone enlighten me as to whether this is true or just anti-American propeganda?

I wouldn't be surprised. They're really pushing that police state thing.

It's 9:37pm. It seems to me that Americans tend to see drugs as a much bigger problem than in my opinion, they actually are. Any comments? I know I am generalising a lot here, but you have to understand that my knowledge of your country is limited to what i see in the media. The majority of which is not especially complimentary. Oh, and a trip to Florida 5 years ago or so.

5-hour difference then.
The marijuana thing is blown way out of porportion. People treat it like it's cyanide or something. But hard drugs I wouldn't say are blown out of porportion. They really are pretty bad, and people can tall you that just from experience. But things like weed, everyone makes too big of a deal out of.

I meant weed mainly, but also other things. Heroin for example, highly addictive, dangerous, contaminated needles etc etc... But I don't think that users should be treated as criminals in the same way as say rapists. Hard drugs are bad though, I have an ex heroin addict in my family and I've seen what it does.

I agree, they shouldn't be treated as criminals, although the people that sell it should. The addicts are the victims. They should be given help. But America's been tightening their grip a lot lately. The people on top want power. I'm afraid we may not be able to do anything until it's gotten to the point where the military roams the streets.
Tell me, do you like music, Abi? :D

There's no point putting all the small time dealers in prison though, while the people at the very top are getting away squeaky clean.
I do indeed, and you?

I agree. I like music too, but I was actually referring to the movie V for Vendetta. Have you seen it? :D

No, is that the one Natalie Portman shaved her head for? I wish I could look that hot with a shaved head, it would save a lot of time in the mornings.

That's the one. It was an awesome movie. I won't spoil it but something happens right after V asks Evey if she likes music. :D

Ah right, I'll have to watch it. You'll have to excuse my lack of understanding of your cultural references, the last film I saw was march of the penguin. It was good mind.

Actually I thought V for Vendetta was as popular in England as it is here, but I guess I assumed that because it's set in London. :p

It is quite a popular film I believe, but I've just not got round to seeing it.

so that everyone here knows, there is no medical proof that marijuana is addictive, and in my experience it isnt, i used to smoke it regularly, never once did i have a dire need for it and it never once affected me negatively. I was and still am a Straight a student and funny enough i have just began college for law. lol as ironic as that is. Marijuana has its ups and downs, just as the legal drugs people use everyday, yes there are legal drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco both highly addictive and very dangerous, but anything used in excess can be dangerous so whatever you choose to do to releive your stress, just do it in moderation. Im not one to judge and wish all the best of luck in dealing with stress, i know how hard it can be but, dont have misplaced ideas about things you know nothing of, experience is the best of teachers without it we know nothing and are walking about aimlessly in the dark........
