Xeros606

caffine is an addictive pyschoactive that can kill you in quanities of 4 grams.

Adderal is speed. And they give it to kids with ADHD all the time.

Drugs surround us.

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"]

It's like, a couple of years ago I was at a concert and the guys sitting next to me were smoking weed. And they offered me some. But I thought, "man, if I was 16 again, that'd be awesome. But I'm too damn old to get arrested for smoking weed at a concert."

So unfortunately I had to decline their offer. That's the nice thing about partying when you're still a kid. If you get caught, people are more likely to go easy on you.

You let the police make a decision for you. :lol:

Heat in your stomach. It's enough. Again it doesn't work as well but it works. I also ate some really skunky stuff so....

I know what high is and I was, not stoned but it worked some. It was more physical then mental.

I'm sorry, but no. Heat from your stomach is not enough to break those chemical bonds. What you got was the placebo effect.

Placebo Placebo Placebo. If you truly did forget(which I doubt) then it was your subconcious wanting to get high. I've ate it, even snorted it(powder from grinder that is) and I can tell you NEED a flame or v.high temp to break the THC into its potent form.

The only thing dangerous about cannabis is the fact that you might get caught with it by the po-pos.

You are assuming this taking place in a vacuum. In reality, circiumstances can make the drug dangerous.

Do you have any peer-reviewed journal articles to back this up? I hate to just say you're wrong without looking at your evidence but... that is pretty ridiculous. Either a fake study or a poorly controlled study with a poor sample size.

Weed is not bad.

Is it a huge rager, or a get together with like 10 friends?

Your first time smoking weed really should be with friends imo. People sometimes "freak out" and it helps if friends are there to chill them out.

But no, weed wont do anything to your friend except make her feel good at minimal health risks. Frankly, she would be better off smoking and not drinking than drinking and not smoking.

She is going out with a few friends (All girls and her boy cousin) and is planning on doing these things for the first time. (She's only 16 btw)

First off, how bad is weed? I know that if i asked her not to, she probably wouldn't, but i dont want to be a party pooper i guess and make her the only one not having fun. But i also dont want anything bad to happen to her because she's sorta looking forward to doing this this summer.
But how messed up is it, really? Theres no chance of her swallowing a knife, is there? O_O

So, do you think i should just let her go?
It seems to be a pretty controlled environment, and i don't think there's gonna be any other guys there.
Do you guys think im just being paranoid?RabidChocobo1

14 years does hold a lot of weight, as true knowledge comes from experience. EXAMPLE: If you're having brain surgery, would you want a doctor who's done it many times before successfully? Or just some guy off the street who thinks he oculd figure it out if he tried? Who's words concerning cannabis would hold more weight?

well put..

First off, how bad is weed? Compared to crack? Probably harmless, but there's a reason that there are so many studies saying that weed is bad.
remmbermytitans

The reason is because the government can't make money from it, so they fund false studies to try and make weed look evil so that people will lose interest in trying it. If people try it and see that it works for their pain better than over-the-counter drugs, then pharmacuetical companies will lose money, and the government ain't having that, since they are one and the same basically.

certain drugs, (weed included) like 'magic mushrooms', would change the perspective of the nation, making it less like an extreme bee hive... maximum conscientiousness is everything the ones in control don't want. - I suppose hippies in china would make for a positive result, in terms of humanity, but not economics.

ah these damn elites on their islands... do they like their power or what?

The reason is because the government can't make money from it, so they fund false studies to try and make weed look evil so that people will lose interest in trying it. If people try it and see that it works for their pain better than over-the-counter drugs, then pharmacuetical companies will lose money, and the government ain't having that, since they are one and the same basically.

Exactly

How many stories, I mean real, local-Newspaper documented stories, do you hear about people dying from weed?

None.

OK...now how many stories do you hear about the FDA recalling medicines? Every damn day I tell you what. My roommate died because his body broke down his medication the wrong way; the ironic thing is that weed could have helped treat him.
