drugs or drink

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Drugs obviously. More addictive, more damaging. 

what about weed?

Isnt weed sometimes medicate to terminal cancer people? 

[AxlsMainMan]

Weed probably isn't as addictive as other drugs, but it does damage lungs and bronchial tubes, dries out skin, causes over-eating and kills brain cells. It can also be dangerous if you're extemely drunk, because it supresses vomiting and that in turn can lead to alcoholic poisoning.

Your right weed isn't as addictive as other drugs Journey, because it is a not a physically nor mentally addictive substance. Stoners create their own mental dependancy on weed, because often they find themselves bored shitless if they have no dope round. That's because unfortunately pot is the biggest motivation killer out there.

Sure there are the lung effects and bronchitis risks, but you get those even worse with cigarettes. Speaking of which, Im finding I need to slow down on the pot in the Winter time, I find my lungs accumulate the most mucus and junk in the Winter, and when I add resin and more mucus from weed on top of it, it's just to much to cough up...brings back memories of pneumonia. Weed causes over-eating?  At the very least, you dont hear about an annorexic pothead do ya?

All i can say about mixing weed and alcohol is do it safely with something food related in your stomach first or it's a guarenteed puke. Also, drink the majority of your booze first before you start toking...if your safe your gunna get so fucked up!

Around this part of Canada I can tell you that the biggest drug that's starting to get popular is Salvia Divinorium. It's still legal in most parts of the US and all of Canada so hears hoping it stays that way because it's like magic mushrooms and alcohol rolled up into one nice lil black spliff

I always find the opposite i generally get stoned before i go out drinking, it makes me puke up afterwards in general.  Saying that the last time i went out and was really mashed it took me about 30 minutes to finish my pint....

That would probably send me round the twist, damn magic mushrooms, my head just can't handle them anymore.

Incidently i do believe i've gone around 2  or 3 weeks without taking any drugs or smoking any cigarettes

Although that's because i've dropped out of university and have no money, still it's all good all i've been doing is using the gym and stuff.....

....still i'd love a spliff now

Why'd ya drop out dude? Courses just not holding your interest anymore?

....still i'd love a spliff now

Sooner you come to Canada dude, sooner I can hook ya up

[Hammy]

I was doing LAW and it was a bastard course.  My first year i stayed in the flat all day getting stoned with my mates

This year i had to repeat the year, well what i failed of it part time, so i did not get the full loan that full time students getting so i travelled from home and stopped over at my mates half the week, once again getting totally stoned and basically not attending, so Christmas i just realised that i was never gonna pass and i was just getting bigger debts so i said fuck it and dropped out.  I mean combine Weed which takes away your motivation with a Law course that is damn hard anyway and well your kind of screwed.....

Sooner you come to Canada dude, sooner I can hook ya up

Once i get a job dude and have plenty of money i'll make that one of my destinations i have a job interview tomorrow anyway, just for something temporary though while i sort out what i really want to do.

During the summer i had a 5 week detox from weed, but was still smoking cigarettes this is the longest i've been off both in at least 3 years.

Congratulations! I haven't smoked a joint since Dec. 30, 2004. The first few weeks are the worst. After that, you get used to not being stoned all the time.

U r from Canada? cool I'll be around the last part of the year over there  Hope we can interchange some alcohol knowledge and some weed too

That sucks so fuckin' much man, I feel for ya. I dont wanna sound like a broken record, but you just have to learn to balance both school and weed. Like I almost flunked right out of Grade 9 in highschool because all I wanted to do was get high and make out with some hot ass next door, you believe that? Grade 9 almost a drop out..

But after first suspension, I immediately realized if I perhaps rewarded so many hours of studying/homework with a set amount of bongs or joints, the school work gets easier and done helluva lot quicker then it would If I was wading my way through it in a stoned daze..

One of my biggest stoner buddies is ironically in a police academy and because they piss test you, he hasn't smoked pot in almost 7 months now..this being a guy whoses a religious 3/4 gram a day smoker like me, so you are in a bad place when it comes to craving it, but you could be worse.

Figure out what you want in life, or what your life wants from you before you turn back to the magic greens...

You seem like a smart Lad, so Im sure you can.

Really? That's fuckin' awesome man, where abouts in Canada are you visiting?

Im getting my new car in Sept. if all my finances are in order, so forsure we'll have to kick it old school with some Mary Jane and CANADIAN BEER

Because you know us Canadians make hella good beer

I'm used to it.....

....i'm just not liking it

I'll see what i decide to do when i get a job again and start earning money, being really into the gym, these past few weeks i've been able to add in cardio vascular stuff as well, bit by bit, rather than just pushing weight all the time although i feel like puking a lot my lungs are so fucking wrecked, but because i'm learning more and more about the gym, how to do things right and now i'm taking tons of protein i want to get into some health and fitness kind of job, hell i could be a personal trainer

....If i keep this up then it's time for a name change

[Sterlingdog]

Its always bugged me when people think that smoking pot is less harmful than tobacco.  So I found this information for you guys:

How does marijuana affect the lungs?
Scientists believe that marijuana can be especially harmful to the lungs because users often inhale the unfiltered smoke deeply and hold it in their lungs as long as possible. Therefore, the smoke is in contact with lung tissues for long periods of time, which irritates the lungs and damages the way they work. Marijuana smoke contains some of the same ingredients in tobacco smoke that can cause emphysema and cancer. In addition, many marijuana users also smoke cigarettes; the combined effects of smoking these two substances creates an increased health risk.

Can marijuana cause cancer?
Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke. Examination of human lung tissue that had been exposed to marijuana smoke over a long period of time in a laboratory showed cellular changes called metaplasia that are considered precancerous. In laboratory test, the tars from marijuana smoke have produced tumors when applied to animal skin. These studies suggest that it is likely that marijuana may cause cancer if used for a number of years.

There was more to the article, but I just copied what I thought was relevent.

Sure, but who would want to have sex with you?? Maybe you didn't do it enough to get messed up, but the meth users I've known have been disgusting.? Missing teeth, crater faced, stinky, just all together gross.?

I guess you hung out with a shitty crowd. I could sink to your level and insult you, but i wont.

She wasn't insulting you. The 'you' was in reference to meth users, not to you specifically.

I'm glad you don't use anymore. That's awesome.

I worked with a guy who was heavily into meth. He was only 19, but he looked like an old man. It looked like his face was literally rotting off. He looked great before he started using. It was sad to watch him lose control like that.

Thanks Journey.  I didn't think that sounded like an insult, but he's mad at me for disagreeing with him in a different thread, so I suppose he thinks I'm out to get him.  I'm not, I don't care enough to be out to get anyone.

I have an aunt just like that. She never stopped using(been using for like 20 years), and she's just a shell of her former self. She's in her early 40's, and she looks just as old as my grandma(she's 68). Ocassionally, she mentions quitting and looking like she did when she was a little younger. Its very sad when she has that line of thinking, because once you use meth for a certain period of time, there's no going back. Yeah, she should quit, but there's no recapturing her once youthful appearance. My great uncle used to cook it(he had a damn good recipe), and he used it so much that he had an aneurysm back in the early 90's. He recovered, but was never the same after that. His system was just so weak and broken down, and he died from meningitis 6 years ago.

I know cocaine is also, but nothing beats the freaky and almost deplorable thoughts and insatiable sexual hunger of a meth high. God, I wish I could go back to the 90's!

Yeah, I guess I just misinterpreted the comments. Lately, she seems to be making smart ass remarks towards me in different threads, and I guess I took the 'who would want to have sex with you" line the wrong way. She meant it in a general way, not really directed at me.

I'm in a foul mood lately and making smart ass remarks to everyone.  Sorry if it seems that I've been singling you out. 

On topic, I haven't had anything to drink in months due to being pregnant.  So maybe a nice glass of wine would improve my attitude.  (Don't everyone start yelling at me, I'm joking, I'd never drink while pregnant)

But I think I might bring a bottle of wine to the hospital!
