chorou · Jan-08-07, 10:42 AM

hey,i dont smoke often at all, maybe like once a month, or twice a month, anyways i was wondering if its really as bad as people make it to be?! i mean i see some benefits from it, im not sayin its good for you, i obviously know theres some negative effects, but what do u guys think?! could a trickster, capoeiraista, student, athlete, etc smoke week, and still maintain a healthy, itellegent life?!

i tihnk weed could be fun, and i personally like it, but i dont abuse it, i dont look to get "stoned" i look to have a good time, feel good, and let go of all the stress. i could have a good time without it , but it always makes it funneR:)

anyways what are u peoples opinions?! lol

Personnally I don't see any bad effects of consommation. I smoke weed about as often as you, few times a months just to relax, and have fun with my friends. I am still one of the brightest in most of my classes so on the brain, I see no bad effects. I still have the best cardio and endurence of all my friends, I'm still allergic to cigarettes

(my lungs really go bad when I happen to breath cigarette smoke near a smoker) so my lungs aren't all dirty (at least I think..)

The only bad effect I see is gaining weight because I eat A LOT, and I mean a FUCKING LOT when I'm high.

Yo well... I smoke weed regularly, and I've yet to see a bad side effect :/

I'm a trickster, capoeirista, and a student, and I still manage to mantain a healthy, intelligent life. It doesn't consume me to the point of doing absolutely nothing BUT smoking. It's all about moderation, and not smoking bunk shit.

Because lets face it, that WILL fuck you up badly. I mean, you have to smoke like 5 bowls to get high, thus fucking with your lungs more.

I know a many capoeira masters smoke weed and there old and amazing, I used to in high school but gave it up now have more stamina and arn't out of breathe all the time. I still think it's terrible hence the one star which equals terrible I gave the thread but still I remeber being high is fun shit, having the munchies and laughing at the simposn for ages just becuase there yellow.

In moderation is ok i guess but I'd rather have none.

some might call me a pothead

A comprehensive 1999 study commissioned by the federal drug czar at the time, Barry McCaffery concluded marijuana was a "viable and effective medicine ... moderately well-suited for chemotherapy-induced nausea, AIDS wasting, severe pain, and other conditions." A 2004 study showed it blocks gamma herpes; a 2005 study showed it slows hardening of the arteries; a 2006 UCLA study concluded marijuana isn't linked to lung cancer and may inhibit tumor growth. A 2006 Ohio State University study indicated it may stave off Alzheimer's. Other pharmaceutical medicines may be more effective than marijuana in certain applications, but marijuana has an inherent advantage: It's nontoxic.

weed is good

Rahf · Jan-08-07, 12:02 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but THC (which is the stuff that makes you high in a pot.) does apparently stay in your system for a period of roughly 2-3 months.
What I'm saying is it deteroriates veeery slowly during this time compared to nicotine which is dumped out of your system after 24-48 hours.

This info is just what I've heard from word of mouth from pot smokers across the globe.

I don't smoke marijuana, but I'll say that as long as it does not turn into an addiction (several joints per week in my book.) it should be fine. Just remember that when you do smoke a joint it is normally prepped with normal tobacco as well which adds to the destruction of your body!!

chorou · Jan-08-07, 12:41 PM

alright this is my opinion, i think its good in moderation, its sooo much fun, it lets u have a good time when u might be in a difficult time in ur life.

weed doesnt mess up ur body as much as tobacco, its not as addicting, it has never killed anyone in history, which means no reports of death, also no reports of lung cancer caused by mariujana...i didnt want to go off and sound like a stnoer cuz im not thats why i put it in the best way for people to reply:) peace.

From what I've learned, it's pretty much ok unless you get addicted to it. Take a look at famous stoners from the past and look how they are today (unless they died of course, Bruce Lee, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley are some good examples).

The only famous stoner that still lives today that I know of is Sly Stone (from Sly and The Family Stone). You should of seen him at the Grammy's. He can't walk upright anymore and is in constant pain.

But still, he's one of the best musiccomposer and writer ever IMO.

(he's so high that he forget the interview, just watch the rest)

Too bad that the clip of him having a debate with Muhammad Ali hasn't been uploaded... damn that was funny.

Are you saying that weed fucked up the way he walks and adds to his pain? if so, you're terribly ignorant in the topic of cannabis.
