I’ve seen a lot of questions about marijuana. I smoked it 6 months straight everyday. Sometimes 6-7 times on the weekends. Usually only once to twice on weekdays. I enjoyed it a lot and there werent any negative side effetcs, many positive ones though. It didnt interfere with my training. I seemed to be able to take slightly more pain if anything. Not much though. Didn’t affect my lung function either. I got my heart checked by a doctor and my blood pressure is 100/50 pulse 70. I have had asthma all my life but toking doesnt seem to agitate it cause you only need a couple puffs. Anyway it really doesnt affect life negatively. It is however hard to explain to a non smoker that weed isnt bad.
Tim, so glad you can smoke so much pot without any adverse side effects. I can just imagine how screwed up your life might be without it. But you used the past tense when you said you “smoked” it. Is there some reason you are not smoking it anymore? With all the benefits, I can’t see why you would ever quit.
It might very well be that you dont see any ill effects from the smoking and toking of marijuana. However, i would contend that you are not looking hard enough. If what you are saying is correct, about the frequency of your chemical enhancement, then not only will it give you the same health risks as smoking ( cancer , ect. ) , but it will also make you a less motivated towards work, school, or anything that requires effort. Whether you see that as a plus or not is your view. Im saying all of this while keeping in mind that i myself use such substances once or twice a month… Now here is the pothead as opposed to the moralist speaking " Even though i don’t reccomend such frequent use, for the reason’s given, there are other more hedonistic issues at hand. You will simply get LESS high from such chronic use of the chronic. "
Try telling my gf that…
Smoking weed in moderation is not bad, you my friend are smoking far too much and quitting will be terrible for you. It will occupy more of your time and you will become complacent. I would bet you have already and can’t realize it.
if you smoked a nick at night, after work or school, (thats about what I got from your post) don’t worry about it, it is NOT gonna hurt you, shit when I puff I acctually think people like me 
peace
lol… make sure you keep up on weights though… i have been slackin a bit as of late…
I’ve smoked weed and haxixe non stop for 7 years, and i’ve also been perfecly convinced that it wasn’t doing any harm to me or afecting my life negativly, even thou everything in my life was conected to it and it would be very hard for me to function normaly without smoking.Seems to me that you have a tendency for being compulsive since you’re already smoking so much of it. I’ve not wrote this with an intent of lecturing you or telling you what to do or not to do, but one thing i can tell you for shure if it becomes a problem you will be the last to know. About the negative side efects be patiente cause they will show up but probably wont be that harmfull. Drugs can be a wonderfull thing but they can also be hell, believe me i know.If you ever feel it’s becoming a problem maybe you should consider showing up in a narcotics anonymous meeting and just listen to what’s going on there.
Guys, whatever you do never try to explain smoking dope to anyone unless they’re genuinely interested, otherwise you’ll just end up trying to justify yourself. If they don’t like it then they don’t like it and it’s not up to you to change their views. I mean why bother? I’d rather go eat something, I know that dope’s okay and that’s all that matters to me, I couldn’t give a rats arse if people disagree.
I’ve done a lot of research on recreational drug use during my time at uni and from what I’ve learned I smoke pot occasionally, I don’t touch alcohol though, I think you’d be crazy. The risks far outweight the benefits in all of the literature. Dope however? The government is still funding studies that are trying to give legitimate health reasons as to why it’s illegal. Good luck! I’m not going to go into any conspiracy theories about why it’s illegal, if you’re interested enough to read this thread then you’ve probably already heard them. Having a science background I’m only interested in proof, or at least a compelling argument with something in it to back it up.
There's nothing wrong with pot, in the words of an american judge (sorry I don't have the exact reference), "It's the safest drug known to man bar none." People have been smoking for over 3000 years with not one recorded fatality. How many die every day from alcohol and alcohol related problems?
The only problem I have with dope is that for me, motivation goes out the window. If I have stuff to take care of then I leave it alone. And I get really boring when I do smoke but I have a good time. Tv’s never been so entertaining!
Like my dad always said, it’s everything in moderation. You can’t work out all the time just the same as you can’t smoke all the time. Well you can, but it’s not a good idea. Cos honestly, how many buff potheads do you know?
well, that’s my 2 cents

Dude. DDDDDUUUUUDDDDDEEEEE!!! Like, pass the
dutchie on the left hand side (Eeee-ddowwboa-
dah!! - anyone know what song I am referencing
or the name of the group?). It was a cold
and lonely, breezy afternoon (how does it
feel when you got no food)…anyhow, uhm,
your a major league toker and like, even
though you don’t see the shit damaging you,
I assure you that it is. Do you get the
munchies when you spark a doobie? Do you
run to 7-11 to buy Cheese Combos, Funyons,
and a 64 ounce Slurpee? You don’t think that
is bad for you? How much do you pay for
a lid of decent smoke? Hurting you in the
pocketbook maybe. And how dare you come
to our forum and Bogart all the herbage!!!
I’ll take a plug of that nuclear green shit
with the purple and gold hairs Cheech &
Chong smoked and sold in Nice Dreams
(hmmm…Mr. Lizard, would you like a
hamburger? I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I am so
very sorry…I AM NOT SORRY SO NAYYYHHHHEEERR!!
Does anyone have “the key”?). I have not
fired up a bowl in over 5 years but I did
smoke in college here and there and the
only real use I found for marijuana was
that it so fucked up my sense of time
and spatial ability that orgasms seemed to
last for 45 minutes and I thought I had
a 18" cock. So yeah, there is something
positive about all that I supposed. But
overall, those who say it “won’t hurt you”
are rationalizing. You don’t think it fucks
up your lungage?

Does anyone know what or how much a lid is really?
A lid is the amount of grass that could fit on top of a coffee lid(the plastic part of it atleast). Thats how those people in the stone age referred to the amount of bud that they wanted to buy, which in todays terms would probably be about a quarter, maybe even more, of an oz. Nobody refers to it as a lid, atleast not where I live, unless they are trying to be funny.
funny that you write about juice (and yeah, it does have positive uses) but seem to think pot is sooooooo bad. just funny to me. hetyey225
Just to let you guys know…99.9% of the tokers in the world are hidding it from everyone but their dealer and who ever might be at the dealer’s place of biz. Yes there are kids and guys that think they are cheech and chong but the real tokers have good jobs and are basically self medicating. SO, next time you see a group of stoners in a circle smoking a J…remember for every one of them there are 999 closet puffers. Did you know that 1 in 5 American JObs is in agriculture. Did you know that Marijuana production in this country is larger than all of our agricultural products put together. Now take into account the logistics of production 60-75 days per harvest. That means in every neighborhood in the USA has a very good percentage of Growers.
That’s a Bob Marley and the Wailers song
you’re refering to. I know I’ve heard it
before, but I’ll be damned if I can remember
the name. Musta been all da dubies 'fecting
ma memre. (Actually, I don’t touch the stuff -
as I prefer to must maintain
razor sharp mental function.)
The song is not a Marley tune but you be
close, mon 
The song is from 1984 and
is sung by Musical Youth. It is called,
“Pass the Dutchie” and it was my favorite
toking tune in college. -

I always chime in on this subject. Smoking is great, depending. I have finally learned to stop after a couple puffs, so as not to get too high. Through experimentation, I now know that I can NEVER lift when high, or get high anytime during the day, if I haven’t lifted yet. Two or three sessions a week, at three or four puffs a session, usually late night, 1 or 2 hours before bed, is what I’ve found to be effective “self medication” for me.
for everyone out there who says that toking is even close to cig smoking, i recomend you go visit erowid. If you look mj up, you might see that no one has ever gotten cancer from the green leaf… Ever. Now combining the two can be a disaster for your lungs, but weed in and of itself isnt really that bad.
Arnold used to smoke a fair bit of weed back in the day. Not just the time they had a photo of him smoking a joint in Rolling Stone either. I’m sure it effected his motivation and stuff. Just think of what he could have done without that shit. I know he’ll never be President now…you know, since he wasn’t born in the good old USA, the dope the public could forgive but they won’t change the law to allow him to run. Think of the possible campaign slogans though.
How did Bob Marley died??? Do you know??
