    All drugs can be harmful, depending on the amount you take, how often and what with. <P class="body">BUT most research suggests that the odd spliff doesn't do too much damage, certainly less than habitual use of other drugs such as cigarettes and alcohol. <P class="body">It's overuse and reliance iin any drug that can be dangerous. everything within reason, i say ;-)<P class="body">There's more on this page here http://www.thesite.org/drugs/the_drugs/cannabis.html <P class="body">

    Most people find that smoking cannabis makes them giggly and distorts perception slightly, giving you a different outlook on usually stressful situations. I have smoked it a lot in the past, but I, like many other get panic attacks and palpitations (a sensation that feels like the whole body is beating like a heart) from smoking it. I think you should maybe try it - nobody has ever died from it have they? and bad effects usually just give you a signal not to do it again.<P class="body"><P class="body">

    No matter how much cannabis you do it can't hurt you. The drug is legal in some countries and these countries are not crime filled junkholes. It will hopefully be legal here soon it the UKCIA get their way. Check out these sites. www.ukcia.org www.cannabis4life.mypage.org www.cannabis.com happy surfing!!!

    I found (when I used to smoke blow) that it reduced my short term memory, but then I wasn't really bothered either.

    Having said that, stress is far worse for your short term memory, maybe I should find myself a supplier again. (lol) <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"&gt;

    I'm not against cannabis at all. Like many people on this board I'll smoke it every so often. True, it seems to have a different effect on different people. I sometimes find I feel nauseous after lots of it (especially when mixed with alcohol). Apart from that, it's quite pleasant. It's not very addictive at all but I know a few people who can overdo it. A lot of people I know will smoke it at the wrong times (e.g. at school or before an exam, etc.). That is just stupid. Like, alcohol and any other drug I will condone it's use in appropriate measures and circumstances <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    my boyfriend smokes dope everyday and has done for several years now. the only time i ever do it is when he gives me some. although its not physically addictive he can't give up coz he is so in love with the feeling of being stoned. the affect gets less dramatic as your body gets used to it so you have to do more. so it is a kind of addiction. he has been trying to give up lately and just can't do it, but then why would anyone want to???!

    Why? cos it costs money, cos it's illegal, cos it's frowned upon by many people.

    BTW, how do you do quotes on these boards?

    Click on the "letter with the red arrow" icon next to the date & time of the posting.

    Or just type the code QUOTE enclosed in square brackets to open the quote and /QUOTE enclosed in square brackets at the end to finish the quote. You can also use the codes B and /B in the same brackets to turn emboldening on & off. (this is just a guess)

    Well cannabis....
    Used to love the stuff myself...
    Grew it smoked it cooked it ate it did pretty much everything u can with it. As for the effects they kinda get different... when u start out ur either the whitey master which isn't that nice a thing or u just settle in n go with the flow.
    Cannabis just tends to chill u out a lot some types make u tired some types make u happy.. some types make u get up or talk... some types make u trip.. depends what u get really.
    Personally I gave the stuff up... since I've been working I found in general it makes me tired n I don't wanna be tired when I'm about I wannab up... try Pills... they're all good <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    dope is well known for its healing qualities. For example spliff can cure most diseases such as lukemia and measles i however if you have too many buckets too often you will find it hard to stop smoking it. But so what! It isnt harmful it doesnt kill you it is safer than smoking fags or drinking.

    Someone offered me some hash last week.
    I was tempted to smoke it, but I refused because I didn't know of all the effects.
    I know it can cause lung cancer, because of the tar content, and I also know that no cannabis-related deaths have ever been recorded, but that's about it!
    Can anyone tell me all the effects, cos I would like to know before I decide to try it?

    http://www.ukcia.org should sort you out. go to the effects section and read all the articles (especially cannabis myths as it exposes all the false rubbish the cops put out.
