    Got ur attention??? Ok...Before u kill me, I'm a stoner...But I'm also an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT....Fun shit :) ) And another thread in this forum inspired me to create this little tidbit...This little commentary.

    I notice all the time how people (especially the younger ones) that smoke the wonderful grass take it a little too lightly. I feel we as a people spend so much time defending this herb against the attack of prohibitionists that we tend to forget that what we are taking is a drug...Yes a DRUG...(Id be rich if i got a nickel for everytime someone tries to tell me "its not a drug! it's an herb!"...No, u dumbfuck, its a drug) As a result of this lack of self-honesty and/or education, lots of bad shit tends to happen.
    Lots of people see things like driving under the influence as no big deal...It IS a big deal...It's fun, yes, and many times nothing happens. Actually I'd say 90% of the time, nothing happens. But come on people (the irresponsible ones) do u REALLY think that this cant have any bad consequenses?
    What other bad shit can happen? Lets see...Ur throat can start to feel like u got orally raped by a huge cacti...Ur lungs start to turn shitty from all the tar...(NO, bongs dont "fix" that problem...Ur still putting a shitload of tar in ur lungs...) Bad shit CAN and DOES happen...
    Sometimes I find myself wishing that I personally never smoked this stuff...Of course, like most of us I turn around and say "oh what the hell...It's just weed"....But I think that's a dangerous thought process...We should stop thinkin about it as "Just Weed" and start taking a little bit more responsibilty for it...
    Its a drug...A dangerous one if we dont take care...So, I say we all admit to ourselves that we're taking a big risk...We all smoke...Its fun! It's relaxing after a hard day's work...Lets just keep it real...This shit can fuck with u...

    Yeah...I've mae a thread sort of like this before I think. Some people don't realize the negative effects it has on your body either. Pulling any type of smoke into you lungs and holding it there is gonna FUCK them up, but yeah, bad shit can happen when you smoke bud, but as soon as someone takes a hit they're pretty much accepting those risks, unless their dumbfucks. Anyways...

    well for me, the only danger weed poses is mind-disease. but if i can achieve what i want before schizophrenia comes along then it was all worth it :D

    i think most people are just stupid fullstop caus marijuana tends to attract stupid, naive people. the main problem to many people with weed is that you can do lots of shit fine when stoned, and you can make mistakes but laugh it off. thats until your mistakes cost another person their life, or even their finger or something.

    but really, the body is fine with weed. its the mind, and the -consequence- of the mind which can get fucked up. people dont seem to understand what this means, most people dont have a concept of what their mind is and how feeble it really is.

    get a vaporizer to get rid of most of the tar...a great investment

    but yeahh....some people do need to realize that it's a drug and not a LIFE ENHANCER, not to be taken too lightly

    ok, well yeah thinking weed aint gon' do nuthin 2 ya is kinda lame, cuz it does and can.....and duh of course any kind of smokin is "bad" to yer lungs and whatnot, but i accept it. haha :)

    but uh, me, i still think its just a plant :) and uh, but yeah, well whatever everyone has their own lil opinon on what weed is or what weed does or whatever.

    and yeah, driving under in the influence is not really much of a good idea...i mean i ride with my friend, and hold the wheel for her when she takes a bong hit but...shes got practice. but it still does effect yer judgement cuz yer just like 'huh?' so of course, accidents could be bound to happen.

    So dont smoke it then man, no1's forcing you... and worse shit can happen when your sober too... people dont see how being sober is dangerous too... Marijuana is so low on the "what the hell should I be scared of" list, but, stepping into my car and driving has a higher risk of killing me and giving me a grusome death... now, to give you some credit...

    You are absolutley right though, people dont really see how bad it actually iz, cuz they get to caught up in "the movement" instead of "wow, what are we actually doing?"... So, all in all, I agree with you man

    I said im a stoner...I smoke it because I like it...I just think everybody should acknowledge to themselves that it's a drug and that it is a serious thing...Like I always say...Adult activities have adult consequences....We all take the risk...Lets be smart about it.

    A-fucking-MEN, man!!

    the war is killing hundreds and hundreds of people a day.... how many is marijuana killing?

    bleh... although, i do agree with you some.... everyone should be careful high, but i think some people (actually, the majority of people) are able to function perfectly fine under the influence of marijuana....

    but whatever..... happy tokin' guys!

    I'm tempted to give u all the number of people i've seen die because they did something stupid while stoned...We all know war kills...Humans will never get rid of war...Its in our nature. But its good we got people doin anything they can to bring about peace. Even though people's methods differ, which in turn brings about MORE war...I havent lost faith in people. Same thing with my thread here...We'll never rid the world of stupid people...All we can do is try...


    But yeah that old example of "Death by marijuana" is to me another example of blatant propaganda...This time by some irresponsible marijuana supporters doing the same thing the DEA is doing...Namely, misleading the public...Marijuana can and does kill...Not as much as war, not as much as cigarettes, not as much as the hundreds of post-toke double-cheeseburgers clogging our arteries like too much toilet paper...But it kills...Lets not lie to ourselves...

    I think that weed does lil' damage to the lungs but yes it does definently still do some damage, and yeah the throat damage sucks too
    but overall I'd say it's medium harmless
    the one thing actually dangerous (other than legallly) about it I would say is how weak you can get the day after smoking alot of strong shit

    Yeah it is slightly dangerous, but so is everything.

    To quote Homer Simpson:

    "What if? What if I slipped on a bar of soap in the shower?.....Oh my God I'd be killed!"

    Meh...I've got an acne problem...and it actually started right around the time I started smoking bud regularly...maybe that's just becuase I started smoking right around to time when puberty decided to hit me like a brick or somethin', but yeah...weed definately doesn't prevent acne.

    well..firstly i disagree herb is an herb, & like any herb can be overused & abused..personaly its pretty rare that i smoke or eat it more then oncea week..
    secondly yes things can happen, but usualy its stupidity thsat causs them..a bong while driving is nevr smart..but in my dumber days i drove with a gasmask bowl & when i toked it completely obscured my vission for a momment.. so yea i was dumb when younger.
    thirdly, you claim you can quote statistics as to how many deaths youve seen resulting from marijuana accidents or whatever... not 1 death has been proven to be a result of smoking..yes manyy accidents have happened & marijuana was lidted as being found in theyre systems..but it stays in your system a long time.. so everyone who dies in an accident after smoking weekks before is listed as having died from marijuana use.
    even the tests performed that claim it kills braincells were erroneos.. they put monkeys in airtight chambers & filled them with smoke..lack of oxygen is what really killed the braincells

    but..your basic premise that its not treated with enough care & respect is sound
    & younger people especialy should take greater care..especialy when driving sice they already have less experience behind the wheel..they dont need further distractions like passing a bowl or joint.

    I wasnt gonna quote statistics...I was thinkin of sharing real life situations i've come across as an EMT...I dont trust statistics too much because, as we all know, they can be twisted...I dont really need any more proof than the fact that while i was working to stop his bleeding, the kid's friend was telling me they had just finished smoking and he got distracted cause he missed his exit and made a little stoner move...To me that's one death influenced by pot...Same can be said about drunk driving...
