My mum used to smoke it. When i was 12 I stole some of her stash and blazed up with a pal, just started cos I was a stupid kid.

Grown up now and love to smoke weed to relax, party, socialize. All depends on the mood a situation. Shit I need something as I don't drink (anymore) and I dont take any drugs (anymore), cant bring myself to class weed as a drug I think of it as a herbal remedy, dont even smoke cigs (anymore).

I started smoking because I'd enjoyed the contact buzz I got hanging with friends who's older brothers grew bud. I had already drank plenty of alcohol some other drugs by then but I didn't like what most of those did to me. Either I felt like I was coming out of my body jittery or I didn't like who I was capable of becoming if I continued to use those drugs. For what pot means to me I think it's an easy choice to make and that is what lets me finally let go of addictions to other substances.

To be honest I never did pot before because mother had smelled it on me a few times just from hanging out and she'd told me stories of being exposed to pot when she was young and "she'll know..." so yeah...mom scared me still but I tried to be a decent kid and we're talking 12 here. I was always able to pull off an inspection while buzzed so why risk getting busted just cause I got baked. Reality is she either had no clue (most of the time) or I got away with "had a beer or three..." as long as it didn't happen often and I wasn't out fucking shit up like other people I grew up with she was cool with it.

I smoke pot now because of chronic pain, energy, digestive regulation, creativity, depression, focus, stress relief...and yes every once in a while during some time off I like to fire up a lot of weed and get bake-a-fried. Just like some people like to do on occasion with alcohol and even other legally prescribed drugs they have left over from an injury. I know it happens, I've done it myself. I liked pain pills but would always tough out as much of an injury as possible to save a few to get really toasted on I just didn't do it a lot. I hate taking drugs. Loved what they did to me but have always been wary of "what they do to you". The drug industry is full of true stories of what should be small doses of safe, beneficial medications killing people or causing other serious medical conditions and much higher addiction and crime related rates. I hate the idea of being someone's guinea pig or puppet. I get none of the bad side effects I got from many of the prescription meds I've been on. One script had me thinking I was going to die my heart rate went so high. I've done REALLY good powder and crystal and my heart was racing faster than it had ever gone from some paxil type drug. I thought about checking into a hospital but I needed to focus on calming down because every thought eventually turned to my death.

Cannabis and something like aleve are all I hope I ever take for the rest of my life. I also think cannabis will be the reason I never "need" viagra though I'm sure they will be fun anyway.

If I could get in a situation where I had a regular enough supply again I think I could quit smoking cigarettes for good. I've been able to quit a few times in the past and was doing well with it till I gave in to some other cravings. I don't remember who said it but someone here said the active ingredient in bud is "fuck it" and I agree totally! Quitting smoking alone should be medical reason enough to be able to use cannabis and I fully support total legalization.

If not smoked cannabis has been shown to be 100% safe to consume. Something that can not be said for just about any other substance legally available. Asprin kills more people each year than pot has ever directly killed. So if me being on antidepressants for years is ok why not pot...

Anyway I'm trying to work now to getting myself into a situation where I can live free and have legal access to the meds I need. I don't want to get locked up for buds. My state is trying to pass MMJ laws now and it was looking fairly decent as to how the laws would work but changes to the bill in the other house have cut the balls out of the bill and it's starting to look like a governor who would almost surely veto any bill will be in office by the time it crosses his desk. I don't even risk growing here the laws are still some of the worst in the country if busted growing. If I felt safe enough I'd be growing as much as I could legally produce but I don't think it's going to happen here.

I love this thread. And I'm gonna think about my answer for a while before I post it. But I have to say that I don't think your theory about all lighting being created equal is correct, and I hope nobody takes this wrong, but its because of their color lol. I don't know a bunch about this stuff but I'm pretty sure hps puts out more red spectrum light, while T5 puts out mostly blue light I think. And MH puts out blue light. And different spectrums are better for different stages. I think that's right. I am curious about CFL's though.

HAHA fuckin sickbird purplemunchies. That was a good story. Here's mine.

Remember those DARE videos they show you in elelmentary school. The kid who had the dope was always the skater kid with baggy pants and a backwards hat, and he always acted smooth as fuck. Well I was the kid with a skateboard and a backwards hat lol, so I related most to him, not the kids saying no to drugs. Pretty stupid strategy to draw up the doper as the coolest kid around. They shoulda made him acne covered and awkward lol. So I was always kinda just waiting for the time I would get offered some. My best friend and I would get hazed with cigarettes and wine coolers by our older siblings and their friends during parties, but it wasn't until the summer before highschool that I was introduced to sweet Mary Jane. I was at home on a weekday, talking on the phone. I heard my sis and her friends come in the house and ignored it, until, when I was walking by the glass door to the bakyard, I noticed out of the corner of my eye a dude pullin smoke through a 3 foot bong! Curious, but a little intimidated, I chuckled at all the stoners who now looked like deer caught in headlights and kept talking to my freind. A few minutes later my sis sent her freind in to ask me if I'd like to join them. I thought about it for about 2 seconds and jumped up off the couch. I ripped the bong and a pipe pretty good and coughed, but felt nothing. I still felt like I was part of an exclusive club though, and ran to tell my friends, who were thoroughly jealous. A week later was my birthday. My sister bought a bag and we smoked for what seemed like hours, videotaping the whole thing. All I remember is laughing about nothing. I'd love to find that tape again. I havn't seen it in almost a decade.

I use to feel so much anxiety from the thought of making mistakes that I would redo a math test five or six times before a teacher would finally have to rip it out of my hands. I use marijuana to self medicate, but yes, I often overmedicate, as do many users of other more dangerous anti-anxiety/anti-stress/pain medications. I studied psychology at school and I can tell you with no uncertainty that the state we are currently in with prescription drugs - hastily overprescribing them to SO MANY people - is VERY harmful, and NOT what they are intended for. Drugs like Paxil, Prozac, etc are meant for extreme cases when all other methods have been exhausted (people are probably thinking "what other methods" haha thats how bad it is). So why do people get prescriptions so often on their first visit to a doctor. People like to claim that its the patient's fault. We all just want a quick fix, a miracle cure; and therapy and introspection don't offer that. But thats half the story. The other half is money. Your doctor could say "no, how bout we try something else first" but they don't, ever. And any professor of medicine will tell you that. But most practicing doctors will not. Don't take your doctor's word as the end all truth. I used to work in a caner center. The most frequent visitors were not cancer patients, though. They were what are called "vendors." It's a fancy name for drug dealers, and if you're wonering if that is why legal dipensaries call their dealers vendors, yes that is why. 90% of them are gorgeous twenty somethings who are slick like fuckin Fonzie, and are hired by multibiliion dollar corporations (who have every politician in their pocket). They come in with a caterer and a van full of amazing food and they convince the doctors to prescribe more of their company's meds, nevermind the side effects
If you're taking a medication just because your doctor told you to, GO RESEARCH THAT SHIT!! And I'm talking about research it from its start. Go find the early journal arcticles on the active ingredients. If you use impartial, scholarly journals, you will most likely not want to take that medication again. Many things on the market right now are very harmful, very ineffective, or both. Did you know that marinol, the number one prescribed medication for chemotherapy-induced naseau and headache was found by the FDA IN ALL STUDIES to be less than 50% as effective as marijuana and far more dangerous and uncomfortable? Needlesss to say the FDA only allowed two studies before deeming MARIJUANA unsafe to experiment with. How could anyone see this as anything other than protecting the profits of drug companies? lol wow, how did our government get so far out of touch with the people? It makes me want to cry, really.

Sorry if I'm taking your thread on another detour guy (forgot your username sorry). Maybe I'll start my own about this.
