Jason KE30 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Rephrase: On a one of try of it, which most people do in life, it isn't going to do a thing to you and make you suddenly be admitted to a psych ward. Sure for the people out there that don't stop and go out and get high 3 times a day, each day, for weeks/months/years then yes it will do you damage. Same goes for cigarettes, alcohol, or any other drug. If you abuse your body with any foreign material, it will cause damage. For a first time experiment of a drug, safe to say most people would prefer to have a few draws from a joint than say, take some man-made, chemical based drug made in some random guys back shed. I'm going to take a stab here and say your friend/sibling/relative didn't end up in rehab from 1 joint. Way to take a small thing and blow it out of context. You're right, taking drugs regularly will screw your body up but takin one joint won't. I know that. I prefer to stay away from drugs all together. You never know what might happen. I don't believe I was taking anything out of context, i just don't appreciate someone telling me that I know nothing about something when they don't know me at all. And no my uncle didn't get insanely depressed and end up in a psychiatric ward for taking one joint, but that doesn't make doing drugs on a rare occasion any better in my opinion. I'm not pushing anything on anyone, it's a free country, you can do what you want, but don't expect me to get in on it with you. Quote
JiP Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 I would agree that it phucks with your head. People can argue that its a harmless drug but after repeated use over a long period it does harm. As far as I can remember my brother has been on the stuff. He has developed a short, violent fuse. Late last year he beat up a cab driver apparently and another time while traveling in my sisters car, he yelled abuse to some tosser cutting down the shoulder. Personally I don't think much of him. We've tried everything to get him to quit but with no luck. In the end he ends up sponging off us. Quote
Jono Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 different things affect different people in different ways. i know lots of people who have come off unscathed after more than 10 years of partying hard and smoking choof hard. Quote
Jason Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Your reply sounded like you made it up off your seat. Lancet says other wise. While I'm not saying its 100% safe, I'm saying majority use is. There are exception to its safe bounds like every psychotropic drug. Closemindidry gets people know were, not saying you wrong I'm saying your partially wrong lol :D (Like I probably am ) Edited February 5, 2009 by Jason Quote
andro0o Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) different things affect different people in different ways. i'd say your completely right there, i know a bloke who clears an ounce a week to himself. he's studying to be a brain surgeon and in 4 years of that much gear it hasnt effected him or his studying in any way.

Clown Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Some of the smartest people i know are/were stoners. I've had mates that you would swear that smoke and don't, and the other way around, these days you never know! Quote
Taz_Rx Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Maybe also research how pot actually effects you. Because it doesn't "poison" you like basically every other drug, including alcohol. :P Quote
Johno Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 I couldn't give a flying fat f**k about Michale Phelps doing a bong. Alot (not all) of people have tried dope at least once in their life. YES, it CAN ruin lives and peoples mental heath. I know cos I have had some very close people to me been affected from the stuff. It all comes down to how much you do and how often you do it. Maybe Michale was at a party and he was letting his hair down for the night. Its not like he always does it, otherwise I don't think he would be where he is today. Quote
Jono Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Posted February 6, 2009 It all comes down to how much you do and how often you do it. wrong, see post #20 for an example. Quote
Lexxi[ke35] Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 All the amazing artists/musicians do drugs, thats what's sad. People need the comfort of drugs to let loose and to make amazing things happen. Maybe if the world was a more positive, encouraging place we could get rid of drugs all together coz no one would need to use them to fell safe anymore :P Quote
JiP Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Well did you see what was in the news today. I'd say his career could be over now. Did you hear who sold the pic to the tabloids?? Quote
macca__1590 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 ahhh don’t you just love the internet solely for its ability to spread the latest and greatest news/pics and the all important rolla stuff you will ever need Quote

Heroin is for escaping, cannabis is for embracing. You simply cannot achieve the mental state psychedelics give sober, well maybe if you practice meditation for you entire life?

SLO-030 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 I know of a place that gives their workers a cone or two to get a bit creative. Quote
