Caught by Parents

[FindingTim]

So my parents caught me stoned last night. I lied and told them I'd only done it about 15 times. They ended up telling me stories about smoking when they were in high school, and they both mentioned that the years that they smoked a lot of pot were the years that they were the most mentally unstable. They talked to me about how smoking pot makes thc latch onto brain cells and how it can effect learning. I have to admit, I have had a tough time with school lately. They also expressed concern about my development because I'm only 16. I knew most of what they told me already though. My dad said that what he believes happened to him was that he started smoking in HS, and the latched thc influenced his decision making skills heavily, and that is why he continued to smoke. A similar thing has happened to me. I used to be completely anti-pot until I started using it semi-frequently. Until last night, I was convinced that marijuana was a gift from the heavens that everyone should enjoy. I was also nearly convinced that smoking is nearly harmless. However, my parents gave me the biggest reality check, and I am not considering not smoking until college.

This may not apply to anyone, but I thought I should warn people that they could be smoking without guilt due to the thc and pot's ability to influence people's decisions even when they aren't stoned.

[halo]

dude. We are pro pot. So go to freevibe.com or wherever the heck your ass goes when you leave here. Cannabis is a gift from the heavens. You can make anything from it just about. It does not effect my decision ability that much at all.
Good day to you!

[WaKeNvAp]

vaporizer bro, get a vaporizer. and as for thc grabbing to brain cells? bs propaganda, you need to go to http://www.thegooddrugsguide.com/ learn more about it, do denounce it, but imo, wait till ur almost 18. and dont get stoned at or b4 school if you notice it having results on your grades. cannabis is not dangerous if used properly and with moderation, or used improperly and without moderation. its what you make it.

[FindingTim]

I've only smoked before school once in my life. And as far as the link to that website you gave me, that website is obviously a pro drug website just like government web sites are so anti-pot. I don't know who to believe, so I just believe doctors.

[FindingTim]

Yeah, that web-site is definitely pro-drugs. I was reading that description of heroin and it says, "Despite the myths, heroin is a relatively harmless drug, especially compared to alcohol or nicotine." I realize how awful cigarettes and alcohol are, but worse than heroin?

Find me these links where these "doctors" give proof that THC latches onto your brain and somehow makes you stupid. dont pass the guilt you get from slacking off in school on pot. i smoke everyday and i am pulling almost 80s in every class becaus i simply take time to learn and understand the shit they teach, you have to be there so why not get what you can out of it.

[FindingTim]

So I guess it is just coincidence that my gpa has dropped off since I began smoking regularly?

Not really...time spent stoned isn't time spent studying when your a newbie smoker, it takes skills some people don't have to study stoned. There are things that it's a good idea not to do stoned for some people like drive, study, or anything where you could likely injure yourself. There's responsible use and there's abuse of a LOT of substances.

[Reefer Rogue]

Don't blame the ganja :rolleyes:

[chisme]

reeefer sorry bruv about last ngiht i coudlnt get hold of any DUMBELLS but ill get it sorted today and do u that phatt one

gimme a call about 5:00

if you actually do more research on this subject you will find posts on this forum discussing heroin in such a way as tht site i directed you to, and if you actually read the info on that site espicially in the freq asked q's, you'll find it gives facts. i know plenty of people who have tried heroin and never have again, same thing with all those shi*(imo) drugs out there. And use your brain and use google, and i second 420purplehaze420. i showed you facts, and i can find you some more. can you find me some facts? that last question wasnt really directed at you, more for you to think about that, and if you cant come up with any chances are, your folks wont either

[enthused]

I dont know what you're talking about dude. I study better when I'm stoned. My GPA has actually gotten better since last semester, and thats because I actually try. Sure I smoke a lot, but I still have my priorities straight. How about you try studying and doing your work and smoke when you don't have anything else to do.

Another thing, sorry if you expected us to understand where your coming from. But you're blaming a drug that YOU decided to use. Either way, it's your fault.

[robert42]

To each his own :) do what u wanna do, dont listen to any1 else only u can decide whats more important

IMO anyone under 16 should not smoke, why risk your education just to get high? its sillly, wait till your sorted in life and then choose if thats what u want. dont make the same mistakes others do.

Were all better then that

[enthused]

Yeah, that web-site is definitely pro-drugs. I was reading that description of heroin and it says, "Despite the myths, heroin is a relatively harmless drug, especially compared to alcohol or nicotine." I realize how awful cigarettes and alcohol are, but worse than heroin?

and on this.. are you retarded? how about you get your facts straight. Heroin is pretty safe, its when you get addicted and have a bunch of shitty street heroin laced with other cheap shit. All about moderation. If you can't control yourself when you're doing or going to do a drug, don't do them.

[shoi]

imo it just seems like ur being iresponsable... ur parents smoked but are they fucked up? just dont smoke on the weekdays... like enthused said its ur choice wen to smoke (or not smoke)
so just work hard

[LIP]

Weed is good, and not mentaly destructive.

[killacamfarillafam]

I smoke a lot and drink a lot sometimes. I notice I act like a dumbass and have severe mental damage after a night of heavy drinking, to the point of blacking out usually. So, my "experiment" proves that weed is far better than alcohol, since it doesn't kill your brain.

Also, people smoke herb for different reasons. I can study with weed all the time, but for you, since you're just a simple minded 16 year old you should stick with cheap natty light. Obviously, you're not smart enough to handle herb and your penis is probably too small since you haven't hit puberty yet.


That sucks for you dude.

Your parents sound like loser hypocrites.

[Story in the Soil]

Awww, mommy and daddy inspired you to quit.

A word of advice; don't post your sob anti-pot stories on a pro-pot website. ;)

See, I dont understand this - why do you have to be an arsehole? If you have something to say cant you put it nicely instead of slagging of his parents and talking about his dick ffs! You're just making yourself look like a little boy that cant use constructive critisizm.

[da haze meister]

dont flame the little fucker
he is just misinformed
THC, after you are high, has NO psychoactive effect, beneficial or detremental.
only the metabolites such as THC-COOH remain in your system.
the reason your GPA is falling off is because you do not know how to moderate
happened to me too.
now i smoke only on the weekends
after my work is ALL done
so good luck
and if you quit
i hope you find something to fill the void that beautiful MJ left.
peace.

do you have me blocked on MSN or summin?

Dr's? I thought you believed your parents? And how would most Dr's know the true benefits of MJ when their hands have been tied so to speak with research and the truth of the medicinal benefits of this plant?

Some how my gpa has also increased sligthly. Idk if it is due to pot, but nonetheless it has increased. The grades I had last nine weeks were 1A, 3 Bs, 1 C. Then this nine weeks, I began smoking every other day or everyday, Now I have 2 As, 2 Bs, and My C is 3 points higher. Maybe this is a coincidence but maybe not. I would even do it some mornings before school. I would never smoke in the mornings before school if I had a test in my early classes of the day. I am currently taking a break just because the High's ( I guess you would call them that ) were not as relaxing and I did not enjoy them as much. So as of now I havent smoked in 5 Days and I plan to not for maybe another week or so. Hopefully this break will increase the sensation. Sorry to Ramble, but regardless FindingTim do what you want. If you think stoping is best for you Do it. Some things aren't for everyone. good luck to you.

[Shelbay]

What :confused:
I was laughing at your post about killacam is all...it just struck me funny because I very seldom see you anything but smooth on here and you just have style when your feathers get ruffled so to say imo. Your post to him just hit me funny..nothing "bad"...just the way you put it.

[da haze meister]

Blocked :confused: I have nobody blocked on MSN - why do you think that? I just havent been on for ages
I have no reason to block you!
oh alright
i was jsut wonderin
cause even if you're on here
i never see you on msn
i guess im 'noid

but i need to get my grades up too
cause i was a heavy smoker
and it was my fault.

I don't understand what this has to do with puberty and penis size. Anyways, contrary to what you said, I can completely handle herb; I only do it to enjoy nature and think abstract thoughts. Oh and by the way, Natty Ice is underrated.

[shoi]

if u can handle it then why did ur grades drop?

not trying to flame :p only to get u to think abt it :thumbsup:

Exactly, THC dont kill brain cells, altohugh everyone seems to like to think it does... Its only kills the glioma cell which isnt used by the brain and is the only cell to form cancer...

[Kush Over]

I went to public school up until about the seventh grade; dropped out for five years for God knows why; then decided that I needed to get something -- ANYTHING -- resembling a High School Diploma. So, I went to night school and surprised myself when all it took was two months to take some classes and graduate. I was out of there before I knew it -- ahead of my class -- and acquired what I set my mind to. Keywords -- "Set My Mind To."

Sure, I was still smoking pot and occasionally popping a cubensis cap in my mouth for some trippage, but I didn't let it interfere with my education.

It's a GED, yeah, but it's better than absolutely nothing. It's better than not having tried to begin with.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is only you can decide what you want -- if you want to smoke weed, smoke it; if you don't, then you don't have to. It just seems like you're trying to find a scapegoat for your problems. A learning curve is something few people share.

Oh, and there's evidence that the psychoactive cannabinoids in cannabis kills brain cancers caused by glioma. Cannabinoids induce apoptosis [ programmed cell death ] of glioma cells, and inhibit the growth of glioma in the event they attempt to return.

Glioma, one of the most malignant and deadly forms of cancer known to our species.

Cannabis, a potential cure?

This raises questions to the potentials of other psychoactive substances that the Christian Bible claims God sees as good and worthy, but the prohibiter's see as a curse.

I don't know if you're a God fearing teenager, but I'll quote 1 Timothy 4:1-5 taken from the KJV.

1: 'Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;'
2: 'Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;'
3: 'Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.'
4: 'For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:'
5: 'For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.'

It clearly states that God has a problem with any prohibition of anything he created.

That includes cannabis as well countless other plant derived substances. They ARE gifts from the heavens.

So, my friend, your parents are wrong. As is the entirety of the body that prohibits anything meant to be good, but instead is overshadowed by greed. Don't let that break you down, because you still have a choice.

Make the right one, but don't let it interfere with your studies.

[Flesh420]

Dude if you know what your problem is then fix it. You know you arnt doing good in school thats your fault not pot. Start trying harder and ask for help

reeefer sorry bruv about last ngiht i coudlnt get hold of any DUMBELLS but ill get it sorted today and do u that phatt one

gimme a call about 5:00

I'm out of money now, I'll prob give you a call thursday or friday...

[NextLineIsMine]

You cant take anyone's word for it. Youll have to discover for yourself what is bull and what is not.

Your teen ones are exceedingly turbulent ones, it seems a simple truth that it is just the weed fucking things up but your not noticing a plethora of mitigating factors.

From reading this post I can already tell that you are suffering from something i went through as well. It's called assisted apathy (i just made that up but i know you may not believe me about what im about to tell ya, but its how it went for me so all i can do is offer advice.)

basically you blame everything bad and good that happens while you're high on the pot, but what you need to realize is that you are causing the lack of motivation and that YOU are the only one who can reverse the effect. All you have to do is try harder, if you cant study while you're high then only smoke after you finish your homework. if you can stick to a system like this then you will enjoy life alot more, you will be successful and be alot more relaxed and have alot more fun because of the pot.

maybe you should quit, if you think thats really what you need. but let me tell you that what your parents told you is absolutely false, THC is a chemical, it behaves like a chemical, to say that it actually latches onto your brain cells and can alter and control your brain is COMPLETE and utter science fiction mumbo jumbo, i will bet my parents lives on it.

there are actually specific receptors in your brain dubbed CB1 and CB2. They recieve endocannabinoids that are produced in your body naturally, but they are also activated by THC as well as the other psychoactive chemicals in marijuana: CBD and CBN.

the high feeling you get is simply because you introduced a new chemical into your brain, its like putting a filter lens on a camera to add effects, but it does it to your brain instead, so all your senses are now coming through a filter that changes them. One thing this filter does is make music MUCH more enjoyable as im sure you know, it also actives hunger in unique way, making it a treatment for bulimic, anorexic and cancer patients. But the fact that it changes your perception of reality makes it a pleasurable activity because there are certain pleasure centers in the brain that react to, well, to put it simply, variety or a change in surroundings.

So before rethinking your moral attitude towards cannabis you should think about whether you're blaming cannabis for something that you are causing.

I really appreciate you saying this. Its a lot of help. I've been thinking this weekend, and I decided that I am going to continue to smoke, but mostly just on weekends, and not every weekend. The main reason that I've decided to continue is that the thought of smoking weed and hanging with friends while high seems to give me motivation to keep working hard in life.

[fikusroot]

I disagree with all of you. Weed does make it more difficult to learn. Maybe not so much as an adult, but I know that when me and my friends smoke school is much harder. But after about a few days, I feel fine again. Plus, when I'm stoned I get really detached from myself and feel bad about what i'm doing with my life. But weed has plenty of problems and spreading all of your pro-weed propaganda makes you no better than the government you protest.

[SomeGuy]

This is going to sound wierd...but my gpa actually went up when i started smoking...It was directly because of the pot though...I think its because I wanted to proove a point that it dosnt make you dumber so I started working a little harder...

dont fucking get high before school
imbecile
marijuana has NO PSYCHOACTIVE EFFECTS once the original high is over
so dont bitch about bad grades with THC in ur system
stop smokin before school
work hard on the weekdays
and blaze on the weekends

[Its a Plant]

Well I think it varies person to person.
Some people can learn while high, some can't.
I can still easily get ripped and go to class ready to take notes and absorb.
It's all about self-motivation.
Weed just messes with people's attention spans
And makes learning not so fun.

dont fucking smoke that much... learn to moderate
if you smoke three grams
of course youre gonna feel burnt out
and also get some good weed
and the burnout wont be as bad
drink alot of water before bed
get to sleep early (9-10)
eat breakfast the next day
should be the best monday ever

[Its a Plant]

you'd be the first to have those symptoms then.
when you sleep, the high goes away alltogether.
no hangovers, no bad mood.
that's all you man.
don't blame mary jane.

Im not to sure about that. All I know is if I smoke on sunday, Im not crispy until halfway through the week.

[da haze meister]

Im not to sure about that. All I know is if I smoke on sunday, Im not crispy until halfway through the week.
well then thats DEFINITELY all you
i can understand being burnt out for under 24 hours
but three days?
thats utter bullshit

[Its a Plant]

yah clearly it's a mental thing man.
and what do you mean by 'crispy'?
do you mean fried like bacon?
or high like a kite?
or back to your normal self?

[Polymirize]

I'm depressed at this thread. Not at Tim, I think his attempts to re-sort what's up is a good move, regardless of his end decision, but there should be less negativity in the community.

Tim if you want to quit or experiment with quitting, or just cutting down, go for it. Life doesn't write anything in stone. Maybe the time constraints of your life right now don't allow for the time to study and smoke in the ways you'd prefer. That's cool, life is always changing. I think it's better to take a sabbatical from smoking and sort out major hurtles in life occassionally, rather than start stumbling or just stop moving because all the choices are made to justify pot usage.
That being said, nature is one of the most amazing things to observe while high, and I hope you continue to find time for it as you can...

Everyone else...

If a smoker want's to cut down, or even quit, why are some of you so threatened by that decision? You're no different than anti-drug sXe punks, spouting rhetoric without any human consideration.
Drugs should be something people can freely approach and make their own decisions about, not a wall between users and non-users.

It's a stereotype that ALL drug users are cowards seeking to hide from reality by growing comfortably numb to the real world. Blut it's also ignorance to not realise that those people do exist.

Don't be one. Let's break the mold here and maybe within our own drug culture, accept people for who they are and not be threatened when the choose to be different.

The main reason that I've decided to continue is that the thought of smoking weed and hanging with friends while high seems to give me motivation to keep working hard in life.

I just don't think this should be such a huge decision, "Should I smoke pot, no, I shouldn't, wait, yes, yes, I have decided I will indeed smoke weed!". It should be something done for fun, not a chore or life-altering decision. This much thought is not required! :stoned:

Ok i know quite a bit about weed but not about medical stuff like how it effects the body.

LIP are you saying then smoking weed decreases the chances of getting cancer??

Perhaps, in some forms it can.

But maybe smoking it isn't the best method of using it.
