Why do YOU smoke weed even though it can fuck up your life?

When i say fuck up your life i mean get caught for possesion or whatever, and have that on ur record forever. possesion can mean more than just a jail sentence and rehab and shit, it can cause a lot of other things to fuck over real bad, like getting caught doing it in ur car or something.

only 3 days back i totaled my van wit 2 friends inside, both of them fled the scene cuz 1 had some bud on him. also, i toked in that van quite frequently. nothing happend but just the thought of what could happen.....

my dad has been talking to me about it and really wants me to stop cuz he says "if you continue to do this, i can guarantee that one of these days i will be called by the police and be told that you are sitting in the police station for drugs."

some of you might say that a life of smoking weed is worth it, but u dont even know if ull make it that far. ull prolly fuck up muuuuch earlier and regret u ever touched the shit.

or, do some of you really think that possesion isnt really that bad and life does go on after it? oh and try to explain how not being able to get the job u want isnt really that bad.
ya thx.

why do i smoke weed?

wtf is that question?

fuck up your life? wtf. if you pay attention to what u do you wont have probs. and once you are enough old to not still live with your parents (if they are anti-weed), than u have no probs

i smoke weed because i love it

who cares about the police, or the parents

if you got your head right, it won't fuck up your life.

it gets me connected with the sound, and with my own mind. helps me to sort everything out into one serial line of thought.

Drugs don't fuck up lives, unless they are abused.

well its just that the truth is that smoking weed regularly instantly makes u a crimminal. there isnt ANYTHING that is as illegal as smoking weed that so many people do EVERY single day.

when i dont life with my parents, getting caught for weed has worse concequences like never EVER getting the job uve worked for half ur life, but getting caught when with ur parents can do many other things.

AND i never asked why do you smoke weed. i dont konw why u think i asked that. if someone asked me that id just say it gets me high, no i dont give the least bit of a fuck why u smoke bud. im more asking why dont u care about getting caught for weed to the point of quitting?

ya they do cuz when ur caught its a very big thing and many people find out that ur a crimminal including ur school and job and ur record is fucked up and to some people ur record is ur life cuz u worked much of ur life for that clean record.
there are soooooooooo many different ways u could get caught for weed with different concequences, some infinately harsher than others.

Getting caught isn't an option. If you get caught, that's your own stupid fault. Parents are different... but cops... it's not hard to avoid cops.

Drugs don't make you use them either... So it's your own fault for fucking up your life, if you're caught or whatever.

it doesnt matter who u are and what u do, doing weed as a daily habbit will get u caught one day, im not saying that concequence will fuck up ur life, but it can easily. sometimes fucking up someones life can be just fucking up one thing, like school or family.

of course its not an option, of course its ur stupid fault, of course its not hard to avoid cops, but after avoiding them oh id say for the 500,000th time, u will fuck up.

1: Don't smoke at school then, if you think you're gonna get caught.
2: If you fuck up with your family... and it's because of drugs... then maybe you should quit? If it's THAT BAD. Wouldn't you agree? Then you make up.
3: If you run into cops that much then I'd say... smoke at home?

If you have that little options then maybe... JUUUST MAYYBE... you shouldn't be smoking drugs?

1. most people dont just smoke weed in their houses. smoking in places besides ur house, and buying weed from a dealer is enough to say that within a long period of time, the risk of getting caught is very high whether ur super careful or not.

why dont u care about getting caught for weed to the point of quitting?

Because its my life and I should be able to do what I want (within reason and as long as anything harmful only affects me) and I wouldnt work for an employer that cared if I smoke? As long as I don't do it on company time and I don't let it affect my work then there is no problem is there?

Also, like a previous post mentioned as long as you don't abuse it and have your head on straight then it should not cause any issues. I do agree that some places you may want to work would possibly pass you up for any kind of drug related charge but for me I don't have that to worry about. If I did have that to worry about then I would have to think about quitting I guess but I doubt I would actually quit. In my opinion I think abusing alcohol causes way more problems.

2. no, im saying that there is always a chance that u can fuck up with ur family, whether u stop after that or not who cares.
3. daily smokers all their life dont only smoke at their home. they also have regular visits to their dealer.

its the same for everyone who smokes weed. ull here busted cases from every type of person no matter what their situation

Well, for one I don't smoke anywhere I might get caught, ever. Second, even if I did get caught in New York state, it's not that big of a deal, legally speaking. Our drug laws are pretty lax. Third, why should I let the government dictate what states of consciousness I experience during my short time on this planet? Why should I just passively let them set limits to the experiences I can have during my life? Just because some asshole legislators tell me I can't do something with my own body doesn't mean I shouldn't. Weed makes me happy, gives me ideas and creativity that I would never have otherwise, and it will until the day I die. That far outweighs any of the temporary bad feelings that would come from me getting caught. And as for weed fucking up my family, that will never happen. Weed has brought my family together like nothing else has. We never fight or yell at each other. We all love each other and get high together. Fuck the government if they say that's wrong.

i bet none of u have been seriously caught for possesion. yes it is ur life and yes u should b able to do what u want, but u wont even be able to do that once ur behind bars or under probation.

im not trying to sound like some anti-drug person, but thats obvious, cuz anti-drug people are stupid and try to send messages of fake symptoms of weed and what it makes u do and forget to do or not do instead of concequences of getting caught.

I give up, guys.

And no, I have never been caught... Did I screw up?

all of ur reasons are the same reasons i smoke bud whenever i can, but for some reason, im always uneasy about my choice. i hateit. i know i wont quite unless im caught, but i always feel that its wrong. damn.

Wow, you didnt even get caught and you are paranoid now. If you're so worried about it, just quit, we don't need your nagging. If you're smoking you should be responsible enough to look out for yourself and do it safely. Getting caught isn't even a serious crime anymore, unless you're toting around a lot of it, which you shouldnt be unless you're dealing. I don't plan on working in an office making 100,000 dollars a year because that's not happiness, and those are the places that will test you and "ruin your life". I plan on following the weather and snowboarding for as long as humanly possible, and getting caught won't fuck up my life... but i'm still not going to get caught because you just have to use a little brain to know what you're getting into.

Everything in life has its risks. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Or better yet, just avoid the heat and they won't bust you.

then just quit man, gets some will power.

DarkFirer.... you wont be on probation or behind bars unless you do something serious, like deal and have a lot of weed on you... but just for possession, you'll get a fine and a slap on the wrist.

well ive been narked on before and caught with my parents, and that was a family risk thing that people have been telling me about. the thing is that im not gonna quite for the same reasons u guys dont, its just that my dad says all this crap and it kinda makes sense, but i still smoke!

though ur feedback does help, and for me, i myself am quite careful but most people would say that a stupid plant or drug isnt worth the risk, and i think thats what bothers me, but it shouldnt cuz i am myself. i guess im just not sure on the matter so my mind is vunerable to others ideas. sucks.

eh people say it stays on ur record.... i know this guy at my school, he had only just started, and got caught with 7 gs on him. had tospend the night in prison, and im sure that stayed on his record.

I wouldn't say getting caught with pot is your life...but it sure the hell puts a damper on it.

Well at least youâ??re thinking about things like this which is good.

Look itâ??s like this; if you sit on your ass and smoke Jâ??s all day that yes it will fuck up your life. But itâ??s not really MJ fucking up your life itâ??s you thatâ??s fucking it up.

I smoke because I donâ??t like to drink or do any of that other shit. Iâ??ve always been a very hard worker and at the end of the day after my little one goes to bed I want to be able to have a smoke.

Is it riskyâ?¦.you bet. There are things you can do to minimize your risk but nothing is foolproof. Donâ??t drive around and smokeâ?¦..Buy in as large quantities as you can afford and when you get your stuff take it directly home and put it awayâ?¦..smoke at home. And if you do want to take some with youâ?¦.take jointsâ?¦.but only one or twoâ?¦that way you can swallow them or ditch them if you have to. You just have to use your head.

If you know your going to be looking for a job soon than you have to quit for a while. And if you get caught off guard buy a drug test that you werenâ??t expecting than donâ??t take itâ?¦â?¦because no amount of wishing is going to help you in a drug test. Itâ??s one thing for an employer to wonder if you smoke pot and quite another for them to KNOW.

So smoke at homeâ?¦if that means you have to wait till mom and dad go to bed than step outsideâ?¦.than thatâ??s what it means. Or smoke before they get home from workâ?¦..you just have to think these things through.

As long as you keep your motivation to succeed in life��and know when to put the J down than you should be OK.

whats your reason for pushing this? of course theres always the chance of getting caught, but I elminate all thoughs chances by playing it smart, if im going in somewhere i leave the weed in a friends glove box even when we're driving and lock it. also my parents will never find out cause im that damn good, deal with it. Im not going to get caught, this is such a wierd ass thread for u to keep pushing that fact that we will all get caught. u should go over to the cigerette forums and telling them how no matter what its going to fuck up there lifes if they keep continuing, keep spreading the obvious buddy, u should also post on the alcohol forums telling them eventually it'll fuck up there life. everyone knows the risks and if they don't than they were just born yesterday. this is such a dumb thread, i dont know what your problem is but leave it to yourself.

it dont matter what i do and how i smoke my weed. i dont care if i smoke js all day, but i do if my neighbors complain about my house smelling of weed and get my house raided.

u dont even know wtf i asked of u people. i was just looking for a kid like me to reply stating reasons why he smokes even though there are risks to put me at ease.

i eliminate all chances also, but that doesnt always do shit. u can always b 100% full proof. u will always have that one sober friend of yours who COULD nark on u for no reason, like in my bullshit case.

its a risky behavior anyway you slice it, it has to be your choice to continue

to answer your guesting on bold, I do care if I get caught, thats why I wont. :dance:

It's like...If god gave you the key to life and told you that if you believed it, you'd go to jail and then he told you all this bullshit about how horrible the key to life is.

Here's a fuckin' thought. BE SMART, AND YOU WON'T GET CAUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE. If you have weed in your house for personal use, you will NEVER GET SEARCHED IF YOU'RE NOT DUMB ABOUT IT. That's the secret pal, so try minimizing the risks that you're taking while you have weed on your person.

Living in canada with a fairly opened minded family, it's not really a concern for me. but even if I lived in the states and my family would flip right out, I'd STILL smoke it as much as I want. give me a criminal record? who cares. I'm not denying myself a basic human right because of some ignorant government's bullshit laws, and neither should anybody. We quit smoking because we're afraid of the law, then we're letting them win, and change doesn't happen by giving in.

possesion is a 750 dollar fine for under 1 pound in my state BIG WHOOP

If it's under an ounce all I can get is charged with a $500 fine, and no mention of it on my record. In your Face!

be fucking smart, don't smoke and drive, same as drinking don't fucking drink and drive, don't smoke in a public area(duhhh) and if you live with your parents and they don't want you smoking then don't smoke at home, find a buddies house, or a fricken forest or somewhere where no one will find you, if you get busted then you're just fucking stupid about shit

If i ever get caught with weed (which i havent yet) then i dun care. I smoke weed, and im going to as long as i want too. Its definitly wouldent be the end for me and it wouldent fuck up my life because i wont let it, and as long as i know that then toke on i shall.

hey einstein, look at the title of your stupid thread "why do you smoke pot even if it can fuck up your life"

and if you feel soooooo guilty coz you smoke baaaddd illegal herb and you can get caught and fuck your life entirely, coz we know wedd can do that, than why dont u just quit.

i geuss your parents have more chances to discover you smoke bad illegal herb if they see you visit this bad illegal site

I've been reading this thread and thinking a lot on it. I'm like you, I live at home and I care what my family thinks. I can't afford to get in trouble because I'm in school to be a teacher...and a possesion charge could definitly hurt me.

But like anything...you're only going to get in trouble if you get caught. Regardless of what anyone does, there is always SOME chance of being caught, but there are always steps that can be taken to avoid it.

In my case, I don't smoke very often. I don't seem like the "type" of person who would smoke. I don't do it in my truck AT ALL because then something like a busted tail light could turn into is that a stem on your carpet, and I could get caught. If you eliminate the possibility for situations like that in your life, you're fine.

Even in your scenario about meeting with your dealer. If you're worried, then when you meet with your dealer put whatever you bought straight into your pocket or whatever you may have and leave. Go home. If you happened to get pulled over, and you're not high...and have done nothing criminally wrong, you won't even be searched.

Not only that, but in most states a first offense only get's you a fine.

If you take the right precautions it's very likely you'll never get caught. Only 4 people know I smoke, and I know that they are not people who would ever say anything to anyone.

Keep your business exactly that, your business. If you smoke at a party...you're asking for it...and if you're not prepared to handle what the consequences may be...then maybe you shouldn't be doing what you're doing.

It's all a matter of personal responsibility for you actions, and knowing how to at least cut back the risks for being caught. There is after all such thing as a smart pot head...and this one right here...doesn't intend on ever being caught.

a good lawyer can fix that up for you. whose side are you on, man? it sounds to me like your speaking right out of your father's mouth, telling us what to do like we're your children. we have our god-given choices to make. everyone was a little paranoid when they started smoking. you've got to learn how to be responsible and still maintain while under the influence of marijuana. these problems are normal. facing them and overcoming them is the key to opening the heavenly door of marijuanas intent.
