I tried it in a "space cake" when i went to Amerterdam, was quite the expirience and i did it again the yesr after when i went again, this was like 5 years ago, and ive tried it 2-3 times since.

I'm quite athletic, i do long distance running/cycling and have done some events and it has not effected me one bit, as someone mentioned earlier it's fine as long as it's done in moderation, I'm at more risk of my health going downhill biking 4 times a month.

I'm not saying i can't see the effects and I'm not saying its not bad for you, there are people who smoke it on a daily basis and thats where i see it as a problem,

but don't let those "dangers" put you off trying something fun/different for one expirience, you only live once after all

I do, I smoke daily. I'm surprised how many people on this forum are completely misinformed. I only read the first four pages and skipped ahead so I don't know if this has already been covered but :

It does not kill brain cells
It does not permanently damage memory
It does not impair learning, I've smoked every day for 5 years and maintained a 3.5 GPA all throughout college. Some of the best students and most intelligent people I've ever met smoked marijuana.
It is not addictive, the National Institute of Health and National Institute of Mental Health both came to this conclusion after extensive research. They showed that marijuana did not work like other drugs and that THC receptors are down-regulated as the user takes in more THC the brain automatically restricts the amount of available receptors it is allowed to attach to. Thus Marijuana tolerance is temporary (after the user stops taking in THC, the brain opens the receptors back up) The only way to become addicted to marijuana is psychologically, in which case you could become psychologically addicted to just about anything given the right environment. In that sense it's probably less addictive then WoW considering that the NIM states that only 9% of all marijuana users can be considered 'addicted'

Anyways I smoke daily because it's the most effective treatment I've ever experienced. I suffer from IBS and generalized anxiety and it really relieves both of those like nothing I can pick up at the pharmacy. I do have a vaporizer which would save me from having to experience chronic bronchitis from smoking all the time, but I don't use it much. A good vape is still really expensive in this day and age and the model I have just doesn't really work most of the time (long set up time, requires a large amount of weed) but studies show that there is no increased risk of lung cancer so I don't really worry about that (THC is a proven anti-carcinogen).

Really I find marijuana prohibition to be a bad joke, the plant has been used by humans for around 10,000 years. It's older than our modern American empire, it has out lasted every empire to date and will outlast ours. It's really only a matter of time before it is completely decriminalized in the states (Connecticut just signed decriminalization into law today!) and once that happens within a short time I'll be able to buy my medicine from the pharmacy and not a drug dealer. It'll be a great day when Americans aren't funneling 11 billion dollars a year to drug cartels just because our government refuses to acknowledge the complete and utter mistake that the war on drugs was.

edit: oh and to add to that, not only do I get good grades but I'm in great physical shape, I weight lift regularly and have a body fat percentage of 14%; I just got a cavity, but that was the first one I've had in over six years.  Just putting that out there to help break down the false stereotype that all marijuana users just sit on their ass all day and have bad teeth.  Really it's not that marijuana makes you likely to sit all day on a couch watching cartoons, it's that people who want to sit on a couch all day watching cartoons are likely to enjoy some marijuana with their laziness.

I think you should go to this thread

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=129992&page=1#

I do once in a while. I only started doing it last year but I think I prefer it to alcohol.

Welcome to VGChartz

Wow so many people here say it tastes and smells bad. It's absolutely delicious! Much better than the harsh tabacco smell and taste. And a thousand times better than the taste of any hard alcohol. I'll stay green.

So far few people have been interested in the stoner thread, but I'll keep trying to market it for a while...

BTW. What D&B do you listen to?

So you are basically saying marijuana is a gateway drug.  That is complete bullshit.  The only thing that makes marijuana a gateway drug is the fact that it is illegal.  You have to go to a drug dealer to buy it.  Turns out that some drug dealers actually sell other drugs.  If you are inclined to try marijuana then you might try other drugs too especially if you are offered it by the drug dealer.  Lets say marijuana was legal.  When you go to the store to buy milk do you get offered crack?  No and that is how it would be if it was legal.  If you ask me having marijuana illegal is pure idiotic.  It is far healthier than alcohol and cigarettes.   I can shoot you down any argument you have against it.

(edit: took the get off your high horse comment out considering you pointed out that people dissing marijuana smokers...  Anyways, I would like to point out any drug can cause people to go in a downward spiral in their life.  You can drink too much , lose your job, abuse your wife, etc...  It can happen with prescription medication, legal drugs, illegal drugs, etc...  There are many successful marijuana smokers that hold down a high paying job, good husband/father, etc...  Just like there are many lazy potheads.  You can't just have your views influenced over one instance of your friend going down hill because he started with marijuana.  If anything you should blame the other drugs not marijuana.  If marijuana was legal then he may not have gone to a drug dealer for another drug)

Marijuana is the least of the worries today.  Lately kids have been popping so many pills that their livers/etc will be shit when they get old.  Prescription pills are far worse.  Find me a case where someone overdosed on marijuana and died.  Oh wait you can't....

nope

and wow talk about a HUGE waste of money. my buddies would spend $50 every couple weeks buying pot, that is EACH, not as a group. so since on game site, essentailly every two weeks you could either BUY A NEW GAME or BUY POT
