Does God want me to do this?

Everything.
Nothing.
There is no God, but if there was I'm sure she would want you to smoke her creation.

[btgh1993]

[CannabisCrooz]

really the only bad things that come with smoking would be damages lungs, a tad bit of lazyness and the munchies. I'll admit i gained 10 pounds in a month when i started smoking.
Just because you smoke once doesnt mean you HAVE to become an everyday smoker or anything. If your curious about it and YOU want to try it than go for it with some buddies in a safe place. If you think its fun and wanna keep doing it go for it, if you think its alright but not worth the money or whatever than dont smoke. Don't let yourself be forced by your friends to smoke, make sure if you smoke your doing it because you want to.
If there is a God I'm sure it wouldn't mind you inhaling some burnt plant fumes.

[RyanTheCaveman]

Well the tar from smoking harms your lungs. but if you get a vaporizer you dont gotta worry about that even though they are expensive.
and the bein high is magickal. its hard to describe. if you want to try it, get with some responsible friends and smoking a good joint with them and just chill out with them. if you dont like it then oyu dont have to smoke.

peace.

Ok, here's an honest answer


What's good?
-It can be a lot of fun in that it can make you happy, make things seems funny, and just give you a general feeling of "yeah, this is how life should be"
-It can have a relaxing effect on the body
-It can make food taste really, really good-The muchies
-It tends to give you a different perspective on life, open your mind, and make you more likely to "stop and smell the roses"
-It can make you more focused on tedius tasks. For example. I smoked a bowl, got my iPOD, and went out to put X-mas lights on a tree outside. Before I knew it 2-3hrs had gone by and the tree was covered by hundreds of lights. It looked great. If I wasn't high I probably would have said "fuck it" after 20 minutes and done a half ass job. Now I always get high before doing something like yard work or cleaning the house.

What's Bad?
-It is illegal and, depending on where you live, it can fuck up your life if you are caught with it.
-It can cause problems in your relationships with people who don't use it, like parents, girlfriends, etc.
-If you aren't used to it and have too much you can get a bit of an anxiety attack
-Even if you are used to it, if there is something in your life that is stressing you out really badly, it can make you feel worse. Like focusing on the X-Mas lights you might just focus on that one major stresser in your life.
-It costs $$$
-It can make food taste really, really good-The muchies are not good if you are trying to lose weight:D

As for whether or not God wants you to do it, well...God wants us to discriminate against gays, kill Muslims, condemn those who don't believe in Christianity, have unwanted babies, and he wants young boys to go pleasure Catholic priests. Not to mention the fact that he wanted us to vote for George Bush. At this point, does it really matter what God wants??

[ukmonkey]

give it ago, don't be dissapointed if your first time is shite, i assure you it won't be bad (unless you've never smoked in which case your lungs will need some practice) but you may feel little or no effects.

After 7 or 8 goes you will no whether or not its for you, its not for everyone.

Don't do it on your own for the first time, do it with some good mates, doesn't matter whether they'v done it before.

wish you luck!

AMEN

[burnable]

good:

mood lift, social adhesive (brings ppl together), self-discovery, prevents depression (until you run out)

bad:

burnout (I drink coffee and mate tea to lessen it; fatigue usually comes with excessive smoking), people who haven't tried it or anyone who believes in the mainstream cultural bias against weed will instantly judge you when they know you toke (of course, this isn't a native feature of weed, but something to be aware of), insatiable munchies.

[Nochowderforyou]

Just smoke it and find out.

And god hates you. Just like he does everyone else. :D

[420marijuana420]

bad: If you smoke it you'll go to hell forever because it was planted by the devil (why do u think there's always an open flame there?) and you'll get hopelessly addicted to it until you eventually move onto harder drugs and have to give the janitor at wendy's a lumpkin in those disgusting toilets so that you can get your fix. And also you'll have no future at all. It will kill your braincells and you'll be a dumb ass stoner after the very first hit you ever take. It will kill all sperm cells and give you lung cancer. It impairs you're judgment and you'll hurt yourself when you're on it. You can go to jail for it. You'll get fat from the munchies. You can find an unbiased view here: The DEA Position On Marijuana (http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/marijuana_position.html)

good: THERE IS NO GOOD!

[Coelho]

Man... i started reading the link about the DEA position about marijuana, but could not finish even the 1st chapter.
I am a very calm, peaceful, almost-zen people, but reading that filled me with such anger, hatred and fury i just could not keep reading... :mad::cursing:

As for the question about the good/bad things about mj:

Good:
Gives you new ways for percieving the world, deep insights about things, more apreciation about the simple things of life (like a sunset, etc), increase the pleasure of doing almost everything, gives you peace, happiness, very good times with another buddies, increase friendship (towards other smokers), and a lot of another things the people already posted.

Bad:
If used too much can cause lazyness, some loss of motivation, some loss of short-term memory, costs $$, and can give you some problems as it is illegal.

I am half-Christian, and believe is not any sin to smoke weed. Its a creation of God, and it makes us enjoy and appreciate better His other creations. For me, weed did make me more closer to God. After i started to smoke i started to notice hints of His goodness everywhere. I can say in some ways weed make me more religious than i was.

So, i think you should stop just thinking and try it. After know how is to be high, then think if you want continue smoking or not.
Anyway, good luck! :thumbsup:

[btgh1993]

thank you guys so much- ive made my decision:p imgonna try it. that dea article is shit, and even if you havent done weed you can tell. and thanks coelho, that was the post that set me over the edge. Thank you guys- I will write about my first experience :) my friend has some, i think we are gonna do it.:smokin: peace

[pass the chicken]

well me personally i have racing thoughts all night and day so toking helps calm me down. Makes me hungry, I swear I'd starve if I didn't toke. It helps me smoke less ciggs. helps me with ocd/depression/L.S.E. Now the down side very relaxing but when there's something that makes me nervous sometimes it turns into parinoia. it's illegal(causes part of the parinoia). If no self control it can consume all your money. And having to deal with shady people sometimes(also prolly another cause of the parinoia) now that I'm really thinking about it i guess it being illegal causes most if not all the parinoia. But thats just me everyones different. Best bet pick a day you have nothing to do and try it. Never heard anything worse about trying it then I didn't like it. But usally if you have friends who smoke they already know how to make settings more enjoyable. Most people the first time smoke it then end up overdoing it and are out somewhere that just makes it worse. A cd or two of fav. songs near-by can always help a bad experince. but yea thats me my opinions take it leave it whateve good luck on deciding though

[btgh1993]

hey i have another question people- when you dont have weed how about smoking tea bags, green tea. it gets you high and you can just put it in a pipe. Its quite nice and you get the munchies usually

[btgh1993]

I smoked a bag of tea this morning

[pass the chicken]

??to each his own??

[btgh1993]

what do you mean by that?

[pass the chicken]

smoking a tea bag not something I'd try but to each their own

[btgh1993]

oh its actually pretty gooood

[RyanTheCaveman]

meow lol...im stond as fuck!



anyways....soooo....yehhh....god wants you to smoketh his treeth!





hahah treeth.

[Ifrit369]

Good things:

- One of the best things about smoking cannabis is it increases your sense of taste. Even beans on toast tastes like the best thing you've ever eaten in your life ever. Some hate the munchies, but I love it.
- I also love the relaxing/appreciation effect it gives you. I was watching an old film, which I would usually turn off in 10 minutes, but because I was stoned, it was so enjoyable. Fantastic feeling.
- It helps you sleep. For me, that's great.
- I also love how it makes anything funny. I laugh the most when I'm stoned, and I love it.

Bad things:

- Redeye. I hate it.
- Smell - especially on clothes.
- Sometimes it makes you paranoid.
- Can make you a tad slower.


If you want any tips, I'd say just use a bong. They're by far the best method, I've found.

[666300]

There is everything good about it except the price, it opens your mind, chills you out and makes you a cooler person.:thumbsup:

[Buddha Man]

you smoked a tea bag??? dude, just cuz something is GREEN and looks like weed doesnt mean you smoke it you idiot. i hate kids that smoke spices and shit trying to look cool. JUST SMOKE WEED!!!!

Good- It gets you high
Bad- Nothing really except its illegal

now stop being so damn paranoid and try it. i know i sound like a peer-pressuring bully from an After School Special, but come on. these so called "noobs" or whatever on this site are starting to piss me off

[Coelho]

so, did you smoke?
(REAL weed... not tea)
if yes, how it was?

[logie_boy]

short term memory lost if you're a regular smoker

[logie_boy]

short term memory loss

[logie_boy]

i forgot how to spell "loss" lol
