But I don't think weed is Found the most chronic weed I've ever found in my parts of the world, I actually haven't ever had anything comparable to how high I got from this stuff. 4 month holidays just started too. Australia's biggest festival is next week too. Life is good. I would say no, I didnt start smoking till I was 21. I got a lot more years of non smoking then most people who smoke weed. I got the glimpse of a sober adult life, and it sucks. | ||

I will give my answer after some people told me what the think so i don't influence you =) Well I first smoked on April 20th, 2012 and that was also the first time I got drunk. I didn't start drinking till I turned 21. Regarding this question I think more importantly would be to ask if you would go back and stop drinking as well. I definitely see more dangers in habitual alcohol use then marijuana. So with my very limited experience with drugs, in comparison to probably the majority of people out there, I would not decide to go back and never smoke weed. Personally I see weed as a gift from God. It makes the world so much more enjoyable. I am also a Christian and I think that parts of the creation story is often looked in the wrong way. Genesis 2:15 The Lord God took the man and placed him in the orchard in Eden to care for it and to maintain it. 2:16 Then the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat fruit from every tree of the orchard, 2:17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will surely die.” So often the emphasis on this passage is on the prohibition, but God says that we may eat freely all good things the garden provides. I see weed under the "you may freely eat" statement and when you look at all the benefits it has I receive further conviction. Christianity is often viewed as a bunch of rules and restrictions, but I have found great freedom and liberation in my faith. On November 17 2012 07:24 jcroisdale wrote: Hey, question for you guys. I see some of you talking about laying off smoking to help you become more productive. I have terrible ADHD and ADD, diagnosed when i was five, I went for psychometric and biometric treatment when I was younger and was prescribed Ritalin but my parents were against me taking it. Now as an adult I find that smoking actually helps me with focusing and makes me encouraged to do things, I otherwise might not want to do. Do any of you have similar experiences, where you might smoke to actually motivate you to do something. I've never been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, but I'm horrible at procrastination and focusing. Weed definitely helps with my focus and motivation it really gets my brain going and encourages critical thinking. I think it also depends on what strain of weed you are smoking. Sativa strains are perfect for creativity and focus, while Indica is the traditional melt you into the couch weed. I think a lot of people fail to realize how different types of weed has different types of effects. | ||

I almost want to just say "Dude it's cool, I don't care. I'm just here to install your shit. In fact maybe you can even give me a discount!", but yeah... that's a no go." They usually are like "uhh I have to check in with my roommate before you can go in there." when I need to go in their electrical room or some shit. It sucks though, because then I can't complete the job and thus don't get complete pay for it :/ Anyway, yeah, just a lot more frequent that I always imagined. | ||

I'd be totally fucked if I got caught ripped at a job or while driving. Insta-fired.

TBH i think Christians and non-Christians agree that these are good guidelines. | ||

SORRY YOUR CREDITS ARE NO GOOD HERE. | ||

SORRY YOUR CREDITS ARE NO GOOD HERE. That's why I think with the legalization of recreational weed will make it a lot better just all around. There is so much potential and variety with weed and we aren't able to explore its full uses and effects when it is criminalized. Of course there is a lot of exploration of weed and knowledge already, but I'm more talking about for the common person who smokes and doesn't really want to get into the drug business.

And about the eating thing other translations have partake and fruit isn't actually in the Hebrew but is usually implied to make sense in English. I can understand it being a stretch and I am probably in the small majority of Christians who would think this way but I do :D On a side note Slightly Stoopid is so dope when stoned | ||

When I was first diagnosed, medical marijuana would have been perfect, I lost about 30 pounds and wasn't eating well at all (I remember my mom having to force me to drink an ensure in the morning to try to avoid malnutrition), but it's really well under control at the moment. Obviously my GI doctor knows this, so I'm not sure if she'd prescribe me (she may very well if I ask her, but it'd be really awkward if she said no. . .) Is there a doctor I can go to who will prescribe me if I show documentation proving that I have Crohn's disease- ya know, like those doctors in CA who prescribe for 'back pain?' Honestly I'm going to smoke either way, but I'd rather: a) be legal, and b) have access to nice, high quality bud. Also, does anyone know what the dispensary situation will be like? Just search online every state has doctors who will prescribe, there are websites out there that will direct you to the right place. On the othjer hand Crohns is pretty painful from what i understand even worse so then cancer from what my uncle experienced. Having dealt with that should be more then enough. | ||

I couldn't tell if I was being paranoid over fake epiphanies about myself that stemmed from negative thoughts (i.e. I'm an asshole to people, I'm condescending, I'm lazy, I don't appreciate people enough, I don't thank my family, etc.) or if I'm actually having genuine realizations about myself. TBH, i think they're real realizations, revealing the things I hide in my sub-conscience... but then again, I've had social anxiety issues since childhood and I've had self-esteem problems since then (in college now). I've started smoking occasionally (1-3 times a year) again after a year hiatus. The weed trips are still a bit depressing but this time around I'm actually motivating myself to become a better person. Does weed do this or was it just a catalyst since my life is not where I want it to be? | ||

Couldn't you just lie and say that there is pain and that you know someone in a similar circumstance that was prescribed weed to "deal" with it? Maybe make it a tiny bit less awkward? | ||

If so dont trust it, I have 2 mates right now that has completely cut their ties to anybody that smokes. Paranoid and super depressed. Dont trust it I guess. Atleast dont let it get in the way of your life. | ||
