This is the only post I am making in this thread.
Basically can you answer a couple of question's please, and i'd like as many answers as possible and I don't want anyone disregarding an opinion.... Everybodys opinion counts.
How many of you smoke it, and how does it make you feel???
How many of you feel it causes severe long-term affects???
How many of you feel that it has had a positive influence in your life???
This is not a slanging contest....... I am interested to know each persons opinion.
Thank you

It is not, of course, just positive people who can gain health-wise from using cannabis. There is a vast wealth of scientific evidence – from over 10,000 studies - demonstrating that it can also help people suffering from asthma, back pain, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, tumours, arthritis, herpes, migraine, depression, insomnia, schizophrenia, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, rheumatism, muscle spasms, anorexia and nausea.
Little wonder, then, that prior to prohibition cannabis was one of the most widely used medical treatments. During the second half of the nineteenth century, cannabis was an ingredient in half the medicine sold in the USA. Even Queen Victoria used it for the relief of period pains. A report in 1839 by Dr W B O’Shaugnessy of the Royal Academy of Science hailed it as a miracle drug.
well, after I read this quote from Pan_chan_boo I thought I would add it....
Alot of research is focused on synthesising and extracting these chemicals in isolation rather than simply giving people dope to smoke.
The effects are hard to describe. Physically you feel as if you have no control of your body for the first 20-30 minutes, and that's usually the most intense period. Your mind however is on overdrive and different interpretations of the same situations are whizzing by.
I find it very interesting to analyze what's going on around me. Instead of just taking advantage of what I am experiencing, as the majority of smokers do now-a-days. God, listen to me, I'm talking as if it happened decades ago. How pathetic.
I think it may cause some long term effects, but I've not lived long enough to experiance them.
I can't nessisarily say a positive influence. I'm still single and nothing's really changed with me. I say it's definately an experiance.
it certainly can increase the propensity in those who are susceptable anyway (is it me or do i sound like a stuck record today?)
I can't comment, only been doing it for a few years, so meh.
I wouldn't even say it has an effect on my general life, TBH. Im not a heavy user, I don't do joints (Tobbaco = Not for me.). I like it.
Firstly, where did that quote come from, did she provide a source?
Secondly, what is probably being referred to there are the results of trials, done on a relatively small scale over shorter periods of time, and not yet thoroughly researched and evidenced - that is one of the reasons why cannabis isn't in widespread medical use. I'm not saying there isn't a case, just that there isn't the body of evidence yet to back it up.
Thirdly, science and our understanding of medicine and mental health has come quite a long way since 1839...
And lastly, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that cannabis triggers mental health problems in those who are predisposed, and exacerbates the condition of those users who already have problems. There was a thread about it here. And all mental health professionals would strongly advise against a person with depression or other mental illness self medicating with recreational drugs.
It appears to come from Peter Tatchell
You can use turn of the centry medicine if you like, I think I'd rather trust modern methods.
I will admit, in the past I suffered from paranoia bought on by cannabis, so I gave up, but I did smoke loads of it back then and was in the wrong company.
As long as I stay being sensible I doubt I will have a problem.
Yes, sometimes i nearly pass out with laffing 2 much :P
How many of you feel it causes severe long-term affects???
I think it does cos im fuked up sometimes and cant remeber shit all lol.
How many of you feel that it has had a positive influence in your life???
Yeh tis fun to get recked with m8s. Somethin gd to look bak on
Some ppl must think lifes just about getting wrecked!!
...but I have to say it makes life a lot more barable. Kind of makes it all seem nice and fluffy and relaxed. So in that respect it's great.
Thing is, if you're badly depressed, the chances are cannabis will make it worse...are you smoking grass or soapbar?
The trick is doing both. I'm verging on a drop out...but if i was to complete university, maybe get Honours, then it'd be excellent for self-assessment...and also give me a good safety net.
Sitting about getting wasted all day is good fun...but a time comes when you need to get yourself sorted out...i've seen what happens if you don't, and it's not desirable.
I smoke it sometimes daily, sometimes I go without for weeks. It makes me feel relaxed, chilled, happy and creative.
I think it only causes severe long term effects when it's abused and people smoke it all day everyday.
I think it's had a positive influence on my life because it's chilled me out and made me feel more relaxed when I've been stressed and need to feel that way.
Yeh but cant just look back on qualifications and smile . Gotta have some fun in there too :hyper:
I am sensible though :thumb:
very good high but too short..the other night i could have took anyone on...the grinding of the teeth...the numbness of the mouth..come on the fuck...1 hour later...give me more....repeat...i could see addictiveness from that drug...too good but too expensive.
Had some amphetamine thrown in with the coke if you were grinding your teeth...always hate coke cut with speed, fucks the buzz up tbh.
The cost is fairly high...but when you think about it, a quarter ounce of grass is going to cost you about £40 as well...smoking weed throughout the week is like maintaining a smack habit, financially lol.
mmmmm not really true.
Paranoia is only one side of the coin. There's an immense depth to cannabis, it goes far beyond a bit of giggling & paranoia.
