Weed OP here
Hello /fit/,

I come to you with a means of a question not really regarding fitness, but more on health. For some time I've wanted to try weed, my friends do it, alot of people i know, have tried it. I've just turned 18 and want to know reasons why not to try it, It seems like there are no real side effects to it. Why do you do it, if you do? Why do you avoid it?

Help a friend out.

it's terrible for your lungs, even worse than cigarettes

try it anyway, you'll probably like it

just remember to take a big hit, inhale and don't fake it; coughing is fine. just keep smoking till you actually feel it working.

Is there any actual proof that is linked to this? I seriously thought It didn't do anything to your lungs, Not really big on the whole 'getting lung cancer at 25' thing tbh.

everyone has different reactions. some people become addicts and use it as an excuse to gain weight and chill out. other people have massive anxiety on it. some people love it and then LATER develop massive anxiety on it.

when i smoke it, i get superfuckingsilly and totally sensual, able to have multiple orgasms, etc etc. a lot of people feel really sensual on it and supposedly it's good for a lot of uptight chicks.

and yep remember to inhale and hold the smoke in basically until you can't anymore.

So you just turned 18 and that makes it ok?

it's retarded to bother mentioning it's bad for your lungs. you'll barely even smoke it unless youre fucking Method Man and smoking a whole plant every day. if you've never tried it, like half of a hit will get you completely blasted.

When I smoke it, my lungs hurt like hell afterwards - I find it much harsher than cigarettes.

On the plus side, it's a great social drug and I find myself talking and generally interacting a lot more with other people when I'm high.

smoke in the lungs is bad, no matter what the source

like>>154272said anyway, you're not gonna get cancer smoking pot a couple of times. cook it in brownies if you're really that concerned about it

It's fairly harmless. I mean, it was only banned in the 1930s or so, and that was mostly for racist reasons, similar as to why cocaine was banned. They called it by its Mexican name on purpose to attach a stigma to the drug, because everyone hated Mexicans at the time.

Minor history lesson aside, weed makes you act like a completely annoying shithead. I've been on both ends of it. It's always fun when you are high, but any sober people near you will just plain hate you because you won't stop laughing or doing stupid shit. The only real adverse effects are potentially lowered testosterone...there's lots of fearmongering about how it destroys your brain and shit, but there's no real hard evidence supporting that weed has any long term negative effects.

It's amazing to get high if you're in pain, though. You'll forget about anything from a sprained ankle to a gunshot wound. It's a mega painkiller.

Like any fun thing, it's very easy to overdo it. It's more of a mental/emotional addiction, as weed has no physically addicting properties, unlike coke or heroine or nicotine. But, look at how many people have food or video gaming addictions...if you let weed fill a void in your life, it can very easily take you over. You need to be responsible and do it in moderation.

I used to smoke off and on. Generally avoid it now because my job does random tests...and I got fucking hardcore munchies all the time, so it didn't help my diet at all. Plus, I got a lot of headaches from pot. Still, it's EXTREMELY fun sometimes, get stoned with a few friends and play video games or blast music. Unless you're REALLY undisciplined, I'd recommend everyone try it once. Sex, music, food, movies...just about everything is more fun on weed. It heightens your senses and just makes you feel fucking happy.

Well, duh. You're smoking it unfiltered. Any unfiltered smoke in your lungs is fucking harsh.

You're a big boy now, go ahead and do whatever you want. Medical studies will dispute health/unhealthiness of it all the time. Go smoke it 10 different times and see if it damages your body. For some, it doesn't. If you're concerned, go ask a doctor. You're a big boy now, you can weigh the goddamn pros and cons.

Smoked weed for 3 years here but quit now. Can i recommend it? Yes and no.

Yes in the fact that you will get high. Something you will rarely, if ever feel without the use of drugs. Its a nice feeling and will make you happy, but as much of a cliche as it is - every high will have a low. If you have an income, you will find yourself continaully buying it over and over. I think its more of a social drug, like alcohol rather than anything else you can name it. Some people use it responsibly and safely, those people i have respect for. Others use it and go for a drive or do it at work, not got respect for them.

No in the fact that you may end up on harder stuff as i did. Never intended to, but when someone said to me they had coke on them, do you think i'd pass up the chance to try it? No, i didnt. I ended up taking speed, extracted codeine, coke, anything i could get my hands on. Never touched smack/meth though, i'm not a complete retard.

If you want to try it, i wont say dont. It was a positive experience for me on the whole and i made some good friends along the way. However it will do damage to your lungs, regardless of what you smoke.

Reason i quit was i will get a piss test on my medical for the army, so i dont want to come up as positive. Plus i'd rather be in great shape than smoke.

Your opinion is null just for the fact that you joined the army. Not only is the army famous for being filled with lazy slobs, it couldn't currently be more obviously known for participating in a corrupt war.

Do drugs, OP, don't end up like 154299.

As a soldier we are sent to war, regardless of whether or not we agree with it. You are a hippy fag and should be given military service for being such an utter twat. Considering the fact i am training to pass the ADSC well enough to train for the para regiment, i highly doubt you will find lazy slobs there.

Be a twat, end up like 154335.

You aren't even in the fucking military yet, your words mean shit.

You'll probably wash out two weeks into basic.
