First time

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

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??

Quoted for emphasis.

Just smoke it and find out.

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

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

good: THERE IS NO GOOD!

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... :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:

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
