How Do We Feel About Cannabis

September 7th 2006 04:11
Pot is it so bad?
Naturally grown marijuana bush
Now before any conclusions are reached from this post (once again straying from movies) I am wondering how others on the forum might feel about the use of illicit substances, namely cannabis, weed, pot, wacky tobaccy or whatever you may call it. I am facing a part of my life when i am interested in such things, I don't think I would ever do anything injected or snorted, nor smoking come to thinnk of it, but I have wondered about the effects of marijuana within foods. It has been proven that the effects of SMOKING pot can permenantly screw your head because of something that happens whilst burning, as well as it being one of the most virulent forms of cancer being caused by smoking, but to eat hash brownies or cookies or whatever it may be, generally has no such effect, whilst retaining the short term head trippiness and the euphoric effect. Has anyone tried this and do you have any views from both sides of the fence (pot smoking and eating). Because as far as i know there is no terrible effect from eaing it. Just interesting, that what has been villified so much may actually be a normallly harmless naturally made high

the hydro stuff is scary because of all the additional chemicals that go into the manufacturing, but i am most definitely from the legalise it/libetarian spectrum of the community so i have no such problems in inhaling and digesting. no probs with me which i guess is kinda boring.

We like pot in moderation. We dont like to abuse it.

Just like alcohol, in small doses it fine, used to excess its is bad.

I have heard a few horror stories from some of my mates, some whom are regular cannabis users and those who do it rarely. One particuarly disturbing story involved two of my mates who ingested far too much hash cookie because they didnt feel the effects immediately. 30 minutes or so after ingestion, my friend felt like he was in a war-zone in some distant middle eastern country. He also thought people were trying to break into his house for hours. The day after this happened, my friend described this incident in a hushed tone, and he looked around the room like he was still feeling the after-effects. The bottom line is...get high on life kids, not drugs.

I definitely think that like anything, it is safest not to do it and i am definitely not saying you should take drugs, no way I just think that if you do do it, have a plan before hand to moderate yourself, and only do so if you are safe and in the company of friends or family, never do anything to excess

You've done your research, I like that!

I think the damage of regular marijuana-use is worryingly underrated. I know people whose minds have been severely damaged by regular pot use and it's heart-breaking.

Im not opposed to the occasional smoke on special occasions but I guess the main ruls should be, never alone.

I once ate a cake, sort of the same situation as the cookie. I thought I'd died and had to gamble with God for my life back. Didnt touch the stuff for over a year!

Im glad you're not interested in the chemicals, I think they're the real killers!

don't got there. you don't need it. live life without drugs. I have seen it's affects first hand. my husband and my brother.
I know some are saying a little is okay - but some can't stop at a little.
they will also say they are not addicted, but hey try doing without it for a few weeks (if you can you will feel much better).
please take my advice, leave it well along

ok. there are certian ways to try cannibis with out becoming dependant on the substance.

one way is to not get involved with people obsessed with drugs, getting high and other illegal substances.

The safest way to try it is probably by vaporizing the dried out buds of the plant or extracting the THC with butter and heat and making a buttery dish of your choice.

By vaporizing there is no risk of lung cancer involved. The THC will vaporize without burning any of the bud.
Vaporizors can be extreamly expensive but there are some designs out on the internet that show you how to make your own with a can and a 2 liter soda bottle

The butter method takes quite a while to explain, but the basic idea is that the THC from the cannibis will detach and remain in the butter which makes it easier to be able to eat.
There is quite a bit of preperation before you can even eat the Cannibis so if you dont want to clean up alot you should try vaporizing.

I would recommend getting a friend to be with you while you get high for the first time.
some people dont know exactly how high they want to be so try getting a friend that has tried cannibis before.

How do I feel about cannabis or marijuana. Despite of many people think, I know these are dangerous drugs, I even tries them and I got really scarred of what they can do. I don't ever want to hear about drugs being harmless. There is no such thing...

1. smoke or eat its your choice
2. to injest weed, first break it up, add it to some oil or melted butter in a frying pan, (use about a half of weed, and enough oil to cover it) include the actual weed and stems (weed is everything thats green thats not seeds and stems) don't include the seeds, save them for growing or thow them out. simmer (not boil, and don't burn the butter/oil mixture) until the liquid is noticeablly browner. then add it to what u want, the best would be bownies.
3. whether u smoke it or eat it, u will feel some effects, u won't notice then at first if its ur first time, but u will feel happy, hungry, thirsty, sleepy, and even horny, plus more paranoid, but i feel that it comes from that u have to look over u shoulder while smokiing it and u freak out cuz its illegal. basically everything that a person needs to survive. nothign bad in the long run.
4. and if u smoke it, it's not that bad, smoking a joint is less harmful than a couple beers.
5. smoking weed won't necessarly kill you. over time sure maybe but what won't kill you u will die sometime. but if u smoke weed, u won't smoke too much (the better quality the less u'll smoke) if u smoke cigs, go ahead and smoke weed its nothing different, just more tar. which over time the build up of tar can lead to cancer. (nothing is proven specifically yet, but if u smoke cigs, it won't make that much of a difference cuz u'll smoke 1/2 a pack to 3 packs or more a day whcih is way more than one jjoint's worht of tar, and if u smoke a couple joints, u wont' smoke more than 6 joints, where as in the same time, u'll smoke 1/2 a pack or more cigs, which is roughly 10-20 cigs. 10 is half a pack. atleast in the usa. which is where i am.
6. just think about this, who really wants to be old and can't do anything, wouldn't it be better to just skip that whole time from 70 on. u become old, wither, get very weak, and it becomes a struggle to stay alive. look at ozzy think of what he has done, he's 60 this year, think of what he did in his life, i'm sure he's done more than weed, (i personally don't know, but i know he has done drugs in his life) if anything just don't make it a habit u can't deal with. but eating it is way healthier than smoking it i will give u that
