Forums - General - The health book sucks...

Smoking pot is one of the dumber things you can do, but that's my own honest opinion that you can take or leave. I've just seen so many people that said they only smoke every now and then, it's not a habit, only when I'm stressed, blah blah completely ruin their lives because of it.



Around the Network

Some of them just stopped going to class, others made idiotic decisions like get a tatoo they really didn't want (not life ruining, but still sucks), lost scholarships, shut out friends, lost their wife/girlfriend, lost all their money, and one guy got shot while buying their drugs.

You know, little things.

Of course just about all those people insisted that their drug use wasn't a problem.



Stop smoking pot! Its not big and its not clever



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Ruin their lifes? How :O?

Also, why do you think it's so bad?

Oh I could introduce you to someone.

If you saw what he was like and could accomplish before and after he smoked pot...

Just the trainwreck his life has become since then is a testament to how bad that can go if you get addicted.

It can be pretty bad... and if you heavily smoke it does tend to effect your frontol lobe in the areas of thinking up and following through on ideas... etc.

Not that it's a big problem in moderation... but the problem is... a lot of people don't know what the right moderation is.

Well that and like.... every job drug tests now.  Usually randomly at that.

I had another friend, ready to start his new job in a brand new big city... was back home 2 weeks later cause he faield the Drug test.

Then i had another friend who's paranoia was helped by Marijuana thanks to him using it as self medication of his nervous disorders... etc.  That didn't go well.

Of course i could come up with the same things for drinking as well.

I knew a kid who died because he got real drunk, knocked over a fan and burned to death cause it started a fire.

Yeah, that stuff sound uh, not pleasant twesterm. I don't see how weed really causes any problems in my life though, besides the lung symptoms and memory problems. But the the memory problems aren't really that bad. It just takes your brain like ten seconds to remember stuff, as opposed to instantly. The lung problems though *coughs up brown stuff* aren't pleasant at all. Got shot buying it? Boy he must be getting it from the wrong crowd, that would never happen here, only circles of friends sell to each other.

Kazs, not every job drug tests, as I know people with jobs that didn't have to do a drug test.

Oh the brain stuff gets worse.

Maybe it's just around here then for the testing though.

I do agree that the shooting thing depends on the neighberhood though.

The Drug Dealers i knew were nice enough guys.

A couple were jerks but more "Shoplift and get girls preganant" jerks.

As for the losing cash.  You can say that again the prices my friends pay for drugs is ridiculious.  I believe in college they were paying 25 a quarter.  Gotta think that's gone up since then since everything else is getting more expensive.

Also you tend to have non smoker friends hang out with you less when you smoke a lot.  I know i did because it was just annoying that some of my friends felt they needed to be high for EVERYTHING.  Pain in the ass, and often times led to not doing the thing we were planning to in the first place.

The health book that I have to do work out of sucks big time. It's so down on me, and it makes me out to be a horrible person. I don't like to lie but lots of the answers I give have to be lies.

I drink, smoke pot, and don't practise abstinence. The health book makes me out to be some degenerate that's going to rape girls, get into fist-fights, die from cancer, get STDs, and not accomplish anything in life. I smoke weed and I still got the highest scores(100%) on all but 1 subject(Math :P) on those bubbles tests you take at the end of the year. I was stoned when I took the tests, hell, I'm almost always stoned.

I have another problem with it though, it doesn't have anything about safe sex, only abstinence. What if someone does want to do it before marriage, shouldn't the health book say shit about condoms and birth control? I can't imagine anyone doesn't know about condoms but, just if some socially inept retard doesn't know, the health book should tell them.

I wish the health book portrayed things more realisticly, it teaches information that's not conductive to being an active and logical member of society, but is conductive to being a giant nerd with some partially unrealistix social skills. Down with the health book! :P

 

 

Dont worry about it. You're going to die with the rest of us in 4 years ;)
