discussion You guys like weed?

[retteq135]

Drugs are bad

 

[everestkrona]

I have partaken a couple of times in my life. Never learned to like it.

lol i smoke just about everyday, or as many days as i can. Been self medicating myself since i was a teen. IMO weed isnt even a drug, its a plant that grows naturally on the planet, many would even say God created it. You cannot get more nature than plucking off some buds from a plant, drying it, and then smoking it. its not a drug but an herb.
Its hard to find anything bad about smoking it either, safer than alcohol & cigs, as these have killed plenty of people, but how many weed related deaths do we actually hear about?

I've heard it's healthier than cigs but I haven't tried either.

Like the title says. Personally have had very different experiences with weed. Used to get a lot of paranoia with weed, but not so much anymore. It's good with porn though

you gotta stop smoking that 46% thc stuff, go get some good old fashioned yard weed !!

From time to time. Just beware that if youre genetically predisposed it can onset schizophrenia, especially when youre young.

its not legal where i live yet but when it is legal u best believe that i will partake

 

[BrodyPresto]

I want to try weed. I’m a foodie too, and I can only imagine how amazing eating would feel after getting high.

If you're talking about those pesky wild plants that grow around my garden, no. If you're talking about the recreational one that people often consume, then HELL NO.

Hot take: Weed is better than alcohol in almost every way. (Feeling, health, & hangover/lack of one)

Honestly, I feel like the general dislike of weed is purely the success of (mostly) puritannical religious organizations that have been crusading against every form of entertainment since the 90's. Weed is functionally little different from alcohol, it has a vastly lower health impact, and essentially cannot be overdosed on. Whether from a personal or a public health aspect, everyone should be consuming weed instead of alcohol. Not that alcohol should be banned, but pretty much every argument against weed is based on flawed arguments, unless they're a teetotaler that thinks all drugs (including caffeine) should be banned.

Which I still fundamentally disagree with, but at least they're logically consistent.

The last decade though has seen a pretty successful push to whip up sentiment against drugs, sex, and porn.

Tried it a few times as a teen and it didn't do much for me the first few times. Then one time I had a pretty bad reaction to it with cold sweats, anxiety and racing heart so I didn't touch it for a long time. Then it got legalised and I grew two plants to try it again. Same story, felt awful after just using a tiny amount and just accepted that it wasn't for me. But I'm happy for those who can now use it without fear of repercussions.

 

[liwen53043]

nah but i don't drink either. like my brain to stay mine. nothing against those who partake though, i definitely get it

 

[drilling]

it is legal where I'm from but I've never partook

 

[Foo]

In theory, yes. In practice it gives me crippling hangovers.

 

[kremtoa]

I'm health conscious, so no.

That doesn't make sense or I'm misunderstanding it.

When you're high, you can get ravenous, even though you may not be hungry at all, and usually for sweets.
This simply means that you try to satisfy your need for food even if you may not be hungry at all, rather than enjoying a taste experience.
Sometimes, this can go so far that you indiscriminately stuff yourself with all kinds of things until you have to throw up.
Taste is and remains secondary.

This also means that when you are really hungry, everything tastes good.
And just because you are high, the taste does not improve, you may perceive it differently, but it does not become better or more intense.

And personally, I think starting to smoke weed for that reason is a stupid decision.

 

[DemoniacDeath]

Last 2 times I tried my anxiety skyrocketed, so now I stay the hell away from it. Don't care if others do it, as long as they're not minors.
