I have a very strict/up tight family. This weekend im going down to portland, OR to visit my cousin/family. Ive never drunk much before or done any other drugs. I just want to know if people think weed is worth trying atleast once. What are the bad side effects of it?

pfff I don't know what you're trying to hear, but getting high is nothing special and doesn't provide you anything than... being high, lol. just do it if you want, just don't if it means nothing to you. I don't believe it's something you just have to do even once, so don't let it bother you and make it a bigger thing in your head than it really is

You need to really try it twice, i don't smoke often or really at all, i have been high twice and it was pretty fun. It's a very mellow feeling. I would susgest trying ot just so you don't limit yourself, just don't really get into heavy drugs or beocme an addict to that weed or anything. Just whenever it's around why not. Once a month, once every 2 months, once a year. Just to celebrate some stuff. It's just very relaxed feeling, i remember first time i actually felt high i won my first TvT against one of my friends. It's worth trying atleast once

I actually have to kind of agree with the guy above me, it's not something you should go out of your way for and thikn "I MUST DO THIS OR I HAVENT LIVED" Just if it's there and you dont have a busy day or anything ahead of you, why not? The second time i tried it, it was much better. I actually felt it, the first time i was just kind of bored.

yes, it's worth trying but you really don't need to make it that big a deal
if the opportunity comes up, why not? and if it doesn't, there are other things to do : ]

i am a big fan

I'm not a fan of weed and stay away from it as a personal preference, but I don't think its bad. I did do it fairly often back when I had friends that were heavy smokers. If you have no need to worry about urinalysis tests (for work) then its basically harmless. For me it was like taking nyquil (head gets fuzzy), only instead of going to sleep in under 30 minutes, you get the giggles and the munchies.

Side effects I noticed = stomach feels empty no matter how much you eat, tongue might go numb and eyes feel swollen. It's hard to hold onto a thought, and you laugh at the dumbest shit.

Pretty decent as far as drugs go... I prefer alcohol, though, because when you're drunk you don't care how dumb you look, but when I got high I was always a little self-conscious of how stupid I was being. Weed's good for people that get bad hangovers, imo.

It's like a mellow drunk. You're happy; sleepy; hungry. Weed isn't at all dangerous. You can't overdose. You don't lose your judgment like you do with alcohol. You're not going to throw up or get sick on weed either. You're just super chill and in a good mood for a while. I highly recommend trying it if you're at all curious.

The whole thing about weed being classified as a "drug" is ridiculous. Drugs have the connotation of being mysteriously menacing and dangerous. Consider that weed is less destructive than alcohol, in that you don't get out of control while you're high like some people do with drinking. You're goofy and good-natured if anything. If society were to ban substances based on how dangerous they are to yourself and other people, alcohol would be banned before weed.

That being said, you mentioned you have a strict family. So, it sounds like you're thinking about doing this for the reason of being rebellious, because weed has the whole naughty label. The reason to smoke weed is to have fun and relax, and get to know your friends better. People tend to open up when they are high, and say funny, memorable things. I really like people, and most of my friends tend to be more conservative in their personalities, and I'm a bit more emotional, so smoking weed kind of evens out that difference and we always have a great time. Weed is like a good time waiting for you in a bag.

It's really not a big deal like the media make it out to be...

"Smoking Marijuana funds Terrorism." blah blah blah usually from uptight people that have never tried it.

Just do it, it's fun and relaxing.

Worth trying, never worth wasting money on.

HAHA, too bad this is probably too far for you to read, but as a casual pot smoker(everyday)
its somewhere between coffee and alcohol, its not gonna make you sick or anything like that
GL in whatever choice you make, just know that its not anything hardcore and dont expect to get fucked up or anything

The dangers of light weight use are over-stated (by the government and such.)

Still, I am a believer that America is over-drugged as it is, and that heavy use of any drug is problematic (even caffeine.)

Keep in mind that marijuana does affect the mind in many complex ways, and that any heavy use, especially in a young and developing mind (the brain is still developing up until about 23 - 24 years of age) could have undesirable consequences.

In other words, try it if you like, but don't become a stoner.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if there is the risk of getting in trouble, you may have issues with paranoia (weed can make you incredibly anxious and paranoid.)

I tried it. I loved it. I became a regular user of it, and used it at least a thousand times (perhaps many more), and I developed some problems from it that I think are now resolved. As to any brain damage or long term effects on my memory.... I truly can't be sure. I'm functional, but might I be better? I feel sure the hellacious anxiety disorder I had a couple years ago would not have happened, or certainly would not have been as extreme. Others on TL.net have developed mood/psychological disorders that are probably a result of marijuana use.

In short, if you choose to do it, be careful, and as with any drug, use in moderation (at most.) If you respect it, I'm sure you'll be fine.

As to what to expect, the first time is often pretty ambiguous for people. You may or may not realize you are high. What you can come to expect is extreme changes in your sensation of time (it may move faster or slower for you), a serious decrease in short term memory (you will forget what you are saying mid sentence - it's kind of fun), changes in sensation (senses become more vivid and powerful), changes in thought (you may have epiphanies - make connections you never saw before, etc). You might experience weird spatial sensations (you are incredibly tall, incredibly small, you are rotating through space very quickly.) You may experience thoughts and feelings that you didn't realize are possible.

You may also become very paranoid, scared, and experience some degree of chest tightness/breathing issues/racing heart/cold hands.

As you use marijuana more and more, the powerful sensations that you knew when you first bgan using will become less and less common. Eventually you adapt to the experience and it's not the same (it is less powerful, and less good, I would argue.)

I'd advice you to try it, but at the same time I can think of like 100 reasons of why you shouldn't touch weed nor alcohol. But to understand what people are talking about when it comes to both weed and alcohol, is to try it out.

But remember, once you get the taste of stuff like that, you'll want to try it again.
