I got a serious question please reply

I guess I was against drugs/cigs. I think I felt like I was too young, like it was too big of a deal to get into it, and it sort of... troubled me... to hear about others doing it.
I did things at my own pace. But eventually you begin to understand how adults work, how it feels to be manipulated or controlled, and to learn that your life is your own.
Strange thing is.... Even when I was reallllly small, I always knew I wanted to expirience smoking. I always wondered what it felt like, knew I'd try it one day. (cigs). It just seemed so strange. Curiosity promotes life.

im very hot and cold about the subject. as im sure alot of us are. your probably alot like me in this sence. all through middle school i was very anti drugs. i wanted to be the only kid in my highschool who graduated without ever smoking weed. that lasted about 6 months when i discovered how amazing marijuana truly is.

ive learned to accept it as a plant and do not consider myself a "pot head" even if i do think it gets a little out of hand soemtimes. in which case i just take a couple weeks off from the bud.

but man if you just smoke it peacefully, with some friends or to have a chill night at home theres absolutly nothing wrong with accepting weed as the plant that it is. only when you become dependent, or abuse it as a "drug" do you become a pothead in my opinion.

Again, like others say, you are what you label yourself. If you don't want to be a stereotypical stoner, don't say "dude" and "man" after every word, and try to offset the negative health affects of smoking with an active and healthy lifestyle (exercise, eat well, vitamins, healthy relationships <-yes that is also important)

God damn, I sound like a freaking health text-book. But seriously, I should listen to my own advice, it's pretty good.

youve got soem good stuff here man. except for the shit about saying dude and man thats bs. i know plenty of people who dont blaze and say dude/man all the time even tho it is a bit stereotypical. but yea man as long as you live a healthy lifestyle you are who you are. if you truly believe you are not a pothead you arent. fuck whatever other people say. they cant understand, they are not you. read the marijuana manifesto posted by thecurious1, its stickied in one of these sections of the forum.

As a kid i was very anti drug, but when i was in grade 10 all that changed because I thought my step sisters friend was hot! and if I smoked pot with her she'd like me (Never said I was a smart kid!) To make a long story short she never even liked me at all, and I fell in Love with Marry Jane, 2 months later My step sister ratted out to my Dad, I lost it afterwards and tried to storm out of the house My Dad beat me to the door and slammed me up against the wall and screamed right in my face. but who cares found out years later he smoked pot too...he gave me a joint to smoke when he dropped me off at College, go figure that was when I had quit smoking pot for a few years. But now I'm back to the chronic, and if I were to label myself a pot head now, you bet I am one!

Wow ya, um I ramble....

i didnt know anything about pot or drugs at all when i was growing up
i was in my early 20's when i first smoked weed
totally fell in luv with it

labeling
its kinda like human nature 2 label
u do what u do
what others say about ur smoking
should not bother u at all
u r what u want 2 b
stay high

Dude, come on it was a joke, man. :stoned: ;)

Yeah, I used to pass on grass because I thought (had been brainwashed repeatedly) that it was bad. When I finally starting researching it myself, through the help of this site probably the most I realized I should try it and that I would be fine. I smoke every day, multiple times, when I have it so I'd classify myself as a pothead. I feel that term has certain derogatory connotations, however. I prefer the word stoner.

I was really against drugs when I was younger, when a member of my familly was drinking beer or something, I would pick up the glass and throw it on the ground.

I use to think drugs would turn you into a monster. Well iam 19 i smoke pot almost everyday and the only monster looking thing on me is my hand thats been that way since birth. I live in a rich neighborhood, i go to a good school, i dont get in trouble i make ok grades, i dont steal even though some damn kids stole my speakers from my truck BUT anyways. No just because you smoke doesnt mean your a pot head. a pot head is someone who will do anything to get their fix. Steal pawn sell other things you know. I dont think of my self as a pot head just s weekend toker. Never tried other drugs just pot well except tabs but that was from surgery. Sometimes we all need to escape whats going on and relax. Somedays just need to be forgotten.

1. Yes, I was like this growing up. I sucked down everything the DARE cops told me and swore I'd never do drugs. As I got older and more confident in thinking for myself, I made educated decisions as to what I would and would not do.

2. IMO, a 'pothead' is someone whose life revolves around smoking. Someone whose day is not complete unless they 'wake and bake' or they have to smoke every hour, on the hour. Not to say there is anything wrong with that, to each their own. But like with alcohol, would you call someone that has two beers a day after work an alcoholic?
