Should I start smoking marijuana regularly? Tired of ads?

I'm thinking of taking up the drug. I no longer have to drive in the course of my job, so the chance of a drug test is slim. Though if I get injured in a workplace accident, I may still have to take a drug test. If I fail, I will be fired (and could jeapordize my career with my union as well).

I heard pot helps with social anxiety? Is this true? I also hear it helps with pain. Not that I have much (though my back hurts from time to time).

my freind who smokes pot regularly gets really paranoid when he smokes and doesn't like to be arround people

so don't use it expecting it to help your social anxiety (it might, I just know it doesn't always)

I have no problem recommending smoking pot. So sure, take it up.

It may not help with your social anxiety... it may make you more paranoid.

It's not addictive... I drink mochas way more often than I smoke pot.

It really depends on what you consider "regular". If you smoke at night, its not as bad as if you smoke during the day. Me, it comes down to money...I'm a college student, thus marijuana is not as plentiful as I would like.

Still...I don't ever allow it to get in the way of work, school, or theatre. I strongly advise against smoking before work/school, only because if you smoke then you'll have nothing holding you back from being stoned 24/7.

EDIT: However, there's nothing wrong with a toke a night if there's nothing else to do...just like a six-pack a night isn't necessarily a bad thing (except for your liver).

Pot ain't that cheap that I'd recommend using it regularly. Though if you do, bake it or use a water bong, this reduces the harmful side effects.

I would never smoke before work/school! That's like drinking before work/school. My work does require a decent amount of focus. I sometimes work with electricity. 110 and 266 v.

Hey man, just sayin'...there are two or three people (above the age of 30) who go to work stoned regularly...I had a sub teacher, around 50 years of age, who came to school stoned half the time. I believe he's living in Amsterdam now.

He was a huge Green supporter...

Hey, you can get high smoking almost anything. The bottom line is, it don't make anything special, the bananas.

Diss, I find it funny that a smart guy like you is here asking for excuses to pick up a drug habit

You don't do what every other person does and buys pot because they want to get high. That's the point, if you want to get high, then smoke it.

If you want aid to back pain, go see a doctor. And pot does not help you with social anxiety, unless you're stoned in that situation to begin with. ANd then it don't help you either, you're high. Doesn't necessarily make it worse, but the point is you are high and it's no medication for social anxiety and doesn't help.

If you want to get high, smoke. If you want something else, it's not the answer.

He doesn't, he just wanted to start a ''border line'' thread. If he hadn't, he just would have tried it himself and decided by himself.

And, if, I doubt it, but if you were serious, I say yea, if you never tried it. Of course when someone says '' I heard pot helps with social anxiety?'' you know they never tried it. Pot makes you, in the long run, paranoid.
Used often, by that I mean 3, 4 times a day, it's fun at first. Then it becomes normal, then it becomes dull, and that's about when the paranoya starts to kick in. Then you get sick of smokin all the time....but only when you are high, because that's when your paranoid. But when the buzz goes away, you just want to smoke again, cuz the paranoya left with the buzz....

That's why I only smoke on occasions. I know that feeling and dont want to live like that again. I wasted enough time rotting in a dirty appartment, sitting in the same freakin sofa all the time playin PC and console games.

Once you did it, either you learn or you stay put and live like that for ever. What would happen to you if you smoked it all the time?

You dont know that. I bet your way of thinking is

By never havin taken drugs in my life, I'm well placed to tell you that I have a better life that I would have.....



Ask the beattles the same question, or Dali, or any music band, artist, painter, poet, NOSTRADAMUS for christ sake.
Before you say your life is better because you never taken any, try some, then you might know something about drugs and not what you see on TV or in panflets.

I can tell you that MY life is better without them, but not necesarly yours or his.
Drugs made me realize many many things about life, situations, and mostly myself. It made me realize that I wasn't here on earth to waste my freakin life workin at a useless lousy job and that I wanted more for myself.

If I haden't tried drugs, I might not have realized that and I probably would'nt be where I am now.

not really. I am thinking about it. My brother smokes it, and sometimes the smell makes me want it. Sometimes I smell it at work (guests smoke it in the hotel rooms). And I crave it. But I am trying to resist. I also gave up drinking. Maybe I'm looking for something to replace my drinking buzz.

and I have smoked it before. The last time I smoked it was when I was in the navy (I only smoked it once there- military and drugs do not mix- we get regular drug tests). And before that I smoked it in high school occasionally.
