Weed , anyone smoked it ?

That's also most people's experience of drinking alcohol tbf.

I have not...I missed it in my youth...even though I watched 'Easy Rider', great film.

I do not know why we do not legalize it now, it is legal in N.Korea.

Still if was legal, the posts on here would become even more incomprehensible

It seems to have adversely affected you Culvin...you are right to stay off

too much so quit totally many years ago. my dear departed mum caught me filling a bowl.
she said "can i try it",,,,,, i wan't expecting that.

From aged 18 until my mid 30's I would smoke a couple of joints every day pretty much, the proper weed i.e. sensemelia and Thai sticks and not that horrible smelly stuff skunk. It never bothered me, it didn't affect my life and I enjoyed a spliff back in the day when you went to a concert and could spark up no problem especially. Then I just decided to stop, I had no craving and I've never smoked cigarettes in my entire life ironically so I didn't have nicotine withdrawal issues either. I just grew out of it really and I wouldn't have a puff now if you paid me.

Drugs are the scourge of society. Go to any inner city during the day and they are filled with zombies.

All the shootings in London are down to drugs.

Never tried them and never would. Been offered cocaine and weed but no thanks. Got enough addictions.

A good friend of mine told me how he had discovered a new part of his brain. Said he could listen to music and concentrate on only the instruments he wanted to hear, and send the rest to background. That's how I decided to try weed. And he was bloody right! After smoking, I could separate the guitarist from the pianist and ignore the lyrics if I wanted to. All of a sudden I had way more options to use when listening to music. I realized how our body has functions that we just never will use in our whole lives!

Sadly on the third or the fourth such session, I overdosed. Layed on my bed knowing I was dying. A colorful wheel kept spinning in my head and I couldn't stop it. If I moved a finger, it felt like blood left my finger, circulated the whole of my body and came back. I wondered what would happen if I made bigger movements so clenched my fist and opened again and it was a very unpleasant feeling and I realized I couldn't afford to move.

The next thing that came to my mind was how my family would react when they find me in the morning. I had locked the door from inside so I thought the least I should do is open the door so someone can come in in the morning. So I got up, unlocked the door, layed back on the bed and contemplated what i'd done in my life so far. However, I realized I hadn't really unlocked the door and everything had only happened in my head. I unlocked the door two more times, realizing both times that I was just imagining it, and not really doing it.

After about two hours I was fine, having thrown up already 3 times. As a result of this, I am unable to inhale smoke, which is a blessing. But I am very interested in knowing how the brain can tap unused resources with weed.

I think you're all being a bit paranoid 

See nothing wrong with weed should be legalised tomorrow, every other street in Britain has a dealer or grower, alcohol causes much more aggro.

Odd you say that Mighty Mac but I discovered just today,zombies is how the so called elites like to call the human race-nice innit!

detraveller.. think you might of had a bit of brown...liven up ffs

I agree houseofpain, I would legalise weed as well. I could walk out of my front door right now and get an ounce in 20 minutes no problem.

Had some dandelion and burdock was out of it for days.

Think 90% of people could these days slippy, i see a documentary on tv the other day, mike tyson making serious money from it opened a 40 acre site growing it, and another opening soon. Could bring in serious tax.

legalise the lot. nothing will change, drugs are easily available.
Prohibition does not work

I know a couple of people who have recently come off drugs. I think I offended them by inviting them over for a bite to eat on Boxing Day.

The amount of money involved and the usual suspects not being the beneficiaries of weed business is the reason why it isn't legal. It has nothing to do with crime as people always say. Its about the money not being in the right hands at the moment.

If weed could only be bought through banks, or if banks had a cut on every transaction, it would be legal. That is a simple example. The day the rich AND powerful control the business, your parliamentarians will be debating on it the very next day and legalizing it on the third.

I don't currently smoke weed, but have done several times down the years and if a joint was offered to me now I'd have no problem having a toke. I also agree with most on here; legalise it and be done with it. It's non addictive so easily stopped too. As for the music I have to agree with that aspect too. Listening to Angel Eyes (Roxy Music) on headphones, stoned, blows you away. I'm sure there are many others that can be added to that list.

Fook having a bong with detravellerdread

GREAT Post , detraveller . Thank You .

A couple of whiteys on these threadlay off the council sh1t,was never a big smoker but liked a bit of skunk added to the bizz of mdma at the after partys.

weed makes you demotivated, it can make you depressed. don't agree that it's not addictive, maybe the actual weed isn't but the lifestyle can be.

I know cus I used to smoke the stuff. also the stronger variety they seem to sell now, is laced with psycho-active chemicals that can trigger mental illness. can also make you aggressive because of this, recall going to Amsterdam, a lot of the pot heads there are quite aggressive because they smoke so much of it.

so yes it does have a nice kind of vibe about it, but there's a dark side too.

Thanks for that comment , lewisham ranger .

I'm getting the munchies just reading this.

Tried it once, several decades back, and it seemed like a way of getting merry without needing to empty my bladder every half hour or so.

But since I drank shorts not pints, I already had that, so there was not much point smoking this illegal stuff.

it is not addictive. wanting or even craving it is not the same as needing it.
i quit easily as soon as i decided i wanted to, nicotine on the other hand was a real struggle to quit.
bloody awful struggle but got there in the end. well done me

I suppose it depends on your constitution and your lifestyle. After nearly 20 years of smoking, as I said earlier, pretty much every day I just stopped and never had a joint again so I'm proof it is not addictive. It helped me I suppose in that I never smoked cigarettes though.

when i quit pot i never had any problems, trying to quit cigarettes cold turkey was murder.
like having a bad case of flu, i failed. vapes was the only thing that finally got me off them.
if you never smoked you are very wise

It isn't physically addictive as is being proved on here by ex-smokers. OK, sleep might be affected for a week to so but that's about the worst of the withdrawals. Any addiction is purely psychological and easily overcome.

Any addiction is purely psychological and easily overcome.

^ it really isn't. nicotine addiction is not in the mind. strong will may make it easier to overcome
but trust me it is a real addiction

Never said nicotine northanlite. We're talking weed which isn't always via a cigarette. Nicotine (I've read) is in the top 3 substances for addiction; I'm fully aware of that.

but you wrote "any addiction" so that wasn't clear

I thought the thread alone made it clear but I take your point

Just the once when a joint was passed round, and I took two long drags, and felt most peculiar!

My chest area was "buzzing", and not a pleasant experience....

yeah best avoided. i strictly main line heroin now

Legalise it? I thought it already was legal down in Brighton everyone smokes it on the streets the place stinks of it everywhere you go

Not sure which of my post you are trying to make fun of. But the top four tobacco/cigeratte manufacturers in the world are either American or British. These companies have bought the major producers in most of the countries they manufacture in. Today, you cannot start growing tobacco and expect that the big buys will buy it from you. And you can't compete at the scale these companies work on anyways, even if you decided to do your own cigarettes from start to end. No matter how bad nicotine is, the money it produces comes home to either the US or the UK i.e. in the right pockets.

There are massive taxes on tobacco products which you'll be told are there to 'generate revenues for the government' and 'discourage people from smoking'. Of course a nicotine addict will never be discouraged by the price tag. And the govt will never mind a business that brings in dollars.

The big tobacco producers do not control weed like they do the normal tobacco. If it was legalized today, these companies will have to pay to the thugs that produce it which will make them more powerful and rich. And that's not what these tobacco guys want. Because then the money will be going out instead of coming in. No matter how much the big tobacco and govt earns, someone else will be earning much more. This is not how power politics works.

If Alcohol production wasn't dominated by the Europeans or Americans, I can assure you it would have been illegal too.

You can wait till the day the big tobacco has influence over weed growers and can buy them off. That day the politicians will be working overtime to legalize weed. Till then, people can keep themselves busy with the crap about 'legalize it coz its easily available anyways' etc. And no i'm not high.

Only playing with you detraveller for your use of American English (z instead of s), hence 'pleaze'
