Since my last decent post (ei. really descriptive) I've been to some parties. Where the following happened

Damn, I wish I lived next door to you :/

[quatzxice]

Why?

[lorousa]

Cause I think you're awesome! :D And we have very similiar interests in like parties and stuff. ...Not sexually (haha)

[quatzxice]

Oh ok. Well, can you elaborate on that? What else do you like to do at parties?

[lorousa]

Dance and socialize with people I don't know. Do whatever I feel like doing, since I know not these people. And I'm very pro-marijuana. Though it's not like I'm a pothead or whatever. And I also really, really, want to get into the nightclubs here but I have to wait to find someone who'd get me a fake ID or wait till I turn 18... :/

[quatzxice]

Why are you pro-marijuana?

interviewing me, huh? ;P

[lorousa]

It's a natural leaf from the dirt. Besides that it helps against cancer, it's less harmful than alcohol and smoking =)

Just having a conversation.
Remember you said, less harmful. Therefore, still needs to be used responsibly (ei. not excessively). So being addicted to it is still bad.

It's the only one I would try out of all illegal drugs because of the reasons you stated above but only trying it.

ok cool =)

You're body doesn't get addicted to it, unlike the other stuff. You don't go through withdrawal, I'm thinking an excessive use would end up like getting an addiction to chocolate or something. You've never seen a person in jail suffering from bad withdrawal symptoms from it, hmmm?

Re: ok cool =)

[quatzxice]

It can still fuck you up though. People react to it differently. You never know what's going to happen and since it's addictive and fucks up with your brains and moods...I wouldn't suggest any more than trying the stuff.

Re: ok cool =)

[lorousa]

yeah, i'm just saying its not as terribly hardcore as people label it to be....

Re: ok cool =)

[quatzxice]

That's cool. Just making sure you were informed. Don't want nothing bad happenin' to ya, do we? ^_^

It does have a withdrawl period. It's about 14 days. It's not usually as addictive as nicotine (withdrawl period of about 9 months).

Just because it is "natural" and from a leaf doesn't make it safe. Cocaine comes from leaves too. Plenty of poisons come from leaves.

I can't say I've read anything about marijuana helping with cancer other than for pain relief. I know it can help with glaucoma and high blood pressure.

One of the ways that it *is* more harmful than cigarettes is because joints/reefers are never made with *filters*. This means that large particulate matter is *not* removed from the airstream and the gases that go into the lungs are hotter and burn the mucosa more (the kind of damage that leads to cancer) and also deposits more residue in the lungs. Of course you don't smoke as many as you would cigarettes, but the physical damage of the smoke inhalation itself is of a much nastier order.

Sorry to be a downer. There's no such thing as a safe or non-addictive drug.

This has been a public service announcement :)

[lorousa]

thanks! :)

No worries :)

And FYI the drugs MDMA (Extasy) and LSD (Acid) will change your brain chemistry the *first time* you take them, and your brain will *never* fully recover from the effects. Those two are particularly nasty. Just bear it in mind if anyone makes an offer.
