Barc0de: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. In other news, when your job turns from talking to annoying customers about stuff you haven't sold in a couple years to standing in the back not saying a word... Well, I bring a drink with me to keep it warm. Byahh!!
We can all agree, smoking weed is not physically good for you. I got kicked out of school, and I finished the last of my (consequential) exams today. Just because I got kicked out doesn't mean I don't care. I'm transferring to a community college in a city I actually give a shit about. I just finished a 40 and I'm feelin' great. Life is good.
I think drugs shouldn't interfere with the usual flow of life/business. Being a little stoned is fair enough in some professional/study environments but not all.
Opiates definitely, definitely increased my job performance when I was using them. Therapeutic doses make me a social butterfly. Nodding off at work obviously isn't a good idea, though.
A stupid question, but are Americans really that "liberal" with drugs as you see in the movies? Most Americans I've met have either been GI's or teenage backpackers, neither of which have been good representatives of the average American...
Cannabis isn't really a drug when you go to college/uni. It's quite popular behind alcohol in most countries I have visited.
The developers weren't drunk/stoned enough to think it's a good idea. Personally, I'm happy about this. My friend liked the first one, but if I paid full price for a shitty game you can bet I'd do my best to enjoy it.
Some good points. I've had a few friends who have developed mental problems due to, or at least brought on by weed. One mate still has panic attacks occasionally for seemingly no reason at all, just being in the car to long or similar. Its worth noting that weed is a lot more harmful if you are under 20 when the brain is still young. Has anyone here heard much about CBD? supposedly an anti-psychotic present in more traditional cannabis strains, but less is produced in skunk as production within the plant is geared towards THC. From what I can tell looking on the internet it seems CBD creates the 'feeling' of being more baked and more lazy, which would be contradictory to skunk having less as the times I've got a hold of 'skunk' I've had a similar effects to normal weed but stronger. Perhaps I've just not come across any proper skunk.
Okay well let me rephrase that, Weed is harmless if you don't abuse it like an idiot. Also yes I have had a friend that smoked weed a lot and he ended up in a mental institution and was never right again. I asked a few professionals about this and they told me it hasn't been proven that weed causes mental instablity but rather can be the trigger to the gun IF abused. My friend had a history of skits in his family its not uncommon for weed to trigger things like this, As for panic attacks I have family members that got it from doing things like LCD and ex but never through weed so some people could develope that from smoking too much not sure on the science of that because I haven't heard of it but I don't think its very likly for any of this stuff to happen if you just don't abuse it. Just like everything else. Moderation. If your not mature enough to keep it a once and a while thing then that individual should not be smoking Just my two cents.
CBD is a natural anti-psychotic. When you raise THC contents then the plant reduces its CBD contents, so the "balance" of psychotropic and antipsychotic substances is disturbed, allegedly.
From what I've read growers (who smoke) prefer the higher THC containing strains because it gives you more of a high, albeit with a clearer head. CBD dulls the high somewhat as it creates the dull, foggy, sometimes near headache feelings and laziness which I guess is less desireable. So I guess CBD's benefits are being lost with newer strains. Personally I kind of prefer the CBD influences! Find it better to relax that way :thumbsup:
Go to your brother's house with your best friend and guess who shows up? The girl you've been trying so hard to forget. Well. Alright then. If she wants to do that.
I personally believe weed causes mental instability, but LSD is where it really fucks you up, I know this one kid he was crazy and funny and he did LSD once, ever since he turned into a dull person in every aspect, he became severly schitzofrenic just by using acid once, we were at a party and he told us the CIA had put a chip in his brain. Thats how bad he ended up. Now he can't smoke weed nor do any other drugs just because he tried lsd. Weed for me I have felt it gives me really strong depressions and mood swings when I abuse it. (Abusing for me means smoking 3-4 times a day, instead of just once.) For some reason I dont get them all the time and I smoke everyday. But I get them when I smoke ALOT in one day.
I ve never had any Weed-related side-effects thus far, thankfully. To be honest though, it seems to be one of the few things relieving IBS and related pains in my experience.
Here's the story of my night. Guy #1, code-named "T", talks about how some girl is coming over, and he will leave with her, to hopefully get it on-with. Tricky part: he's engaged. So. He's a dick. He's always been a dick. So (x2). We, being the 7 remaining guys, somehow get her phone number and all text the exact same sentence, letting her know what she's possibly about to do. I'm feeling triumphant, but also shitty about the human race, and send a text to she-who-I-should-have-stopped-talking-to-many-months-ago, for some guidance. And that spiraled into final goodbyes and a bit of a fight, but it was totally accepted and justified. I've been a total shit-head, but not in any sort of way that one might think (IE, as "T" is a shit-head... I'd never even stumble in that direction). So. Here I am now, got home fine and should go to sleep but there's wayyyy to much going on in my pussy brain. 4AM. tick tock. This is what happens when I get drunk. Usually to a lesser extent, but every other goddamn time I further ruin my life by another click on the cog. I'm getting used to it. Eventually I'll snap out, I know. I just need time. And unless 2012 proves itself to be as fucked as they say, the future looks bright. Hooray? Hurrah. I hope! Cheers, ASSEMbler. Best wishes!
