Here is a short piece from Erowid that details the potential harm caused by smoking cannabis.
Not to put you off of course...if you're comfortable with the risks involved then go for it. If you did try it, you may well change your mind about the risks you're willing to take anyway. That's if you really liked the experience of course.
By thinking about it this much, you're doing a lot more than most people would anyway :thumb:
...oh and killinbiz (pardon the impromptu nickname :yippie:) ciggs have never done anything to me either,...felt lightheaded for like 30 seconds one time after smoking half a pack...
...like, omg...what a freaking rush!!!!!1111!! :yeees:
As for you, it is an acquired taste I think..as I had a previous g/f who hated the taste of it! ( as I found out when she chucked up in my house after like half a single )
Make sure you're doing it with people that know you well, and are going to keep you safe if something does happen, like you whitey or summit ( unlikely but possible )!
I wouldn't say that's necessarily true at all. I used to smoke once a month or so for a long time, and never increased my usage. If you have the strength of mind to stick to what you say you'll do then there's no reason why you can't do it.
I think you have to be careful saying this though, for a lot of people habitual or addictive use has less to do with strength of mind and more to do with circumstances, social functions , predispositions - a whole set of complex biological and behavioral issues that we are only just barely beginning to understand.
No, you cant say that for definate, many users have no noticable mental or physical health problems
Yes, some people go on to have a problematic relationship with cannabis, and it certainly can be dangerous, but to suggest that every user does this is over stating the risks. Having said that as I mentioned earlier if you have a history of mental health concerns you shouldnt use cannabis.
But wouldn't it be true to say that long term habitual use has a detrimental effect on your health?
Quite probably, though I think its over playing the risk to say that any use is harmful and any use leads to addiction.
As you well know if you exaggerate the risks from drug use people will ignore your advice.
(and I need the last word)
Its not really something to try unless you are well versed with the drug.
Not really. Very strong leafy chemically taste. :yuck:
It depends, some will just taste like grass, a leafy green type taste, others (skunk) will be more chemically and hash will taste of whatever its made of.
