The OFFICIAL Pros and Cons of pot

[frade]

Pro: It makes you feel like you live longer, if your always high. Lately I'm always high considering the multiple bong sessions I have everyday. I don't have any time distortion when I'm high but my whole sense of time in general seems fucked. Days are so extremely long, weeks feel like months and I love it. It gives you so much time to just sit back and have a thought. Being unemployed, having money, and not having to worry about your parents all day gives you a lot of time to go out and hit some bees.

Con: Depending on the person a lot of shit can go horribly wrong.

[SugarMagnolia]

well, thats kinda the way life is istn it? depending on the person, ne shit can go wrong, dont blame it on the ganja lol

[doobzar]

this is way off there's more cons than pros

[Jon8678]

Spiritual enlightenment and increased good times. I know what you mean ever sense I started smoking I feel more zen and centered, like nothing can bother me and I know longer feel the need to fight. I just tell people when they want to fight to spread the peace and love.

Nice read!

I sent that site to all the people in my school who tell me im gonna die cuz i smoke weed lol.

[Haigher]

I disagree with "makes you more social". I know plenty of people who smoke that are complete shut ups, who cant think of anything to say, and just sorta want to chill out and not think about much.... i cant idenify with such ppl, but really i think many of the so called negative affects of marijuana depend on the person and their mind. I've noticed most ppl that i have smoked with become very chill and don't say much/have no clue what's going on around them at all. I however am almost constantly talking while high about lots of different shit (mainly the evils of american corporate controlled capitalist pig society).. it's like i go into this rambling monologue. I almost always draw crazy shit and write poetry, but most of all i compose music. I write so much music while high, because i can hear a song playing in my head... like, i'll just hear this beautiful music in my ears, and then i grab my guitar and pluck it out.. later on record and tweak until the rythm is perfect...
i love music.. i'm completely obsessed with it... i've been in several bands, played MANY gigs....
alot of the best things in my life happened to be because of weed
alot of the most enlightening and happy thoughts that i have come to realize came to me while high
my belief in god (the most powerful thing in my life) came to me through meditations while high on cannabis
my ability to sense the spirit of god all around us and within us, came about through the powers of ganja
im not kidding
when i'm high i literally feel an incredible power circulating through all living things.
i hate being inside while i'm high.. because... everything inside of a house is dead.. except the people. i like climbing trees while i'm high, that's REALLY funnn... and sometimes i just stare at all the branches, the leaves intricately woven in and out.... nature is like god's sketchbook man, and it's so fucking beautiful

eh.. it's hard to explain how strongly i feel god all around us and within us.. there just arent words to describe that feeling
its the strongest feeling of hope welling up inside of me
i just cant explain it
it's something you feel

i also have noticed that while high i am much better able to detect emotional undertones running through a group, and body language becomes very obvious to me. i love looking at ppl's eyes... looking at their expressions... human beings are beautiful creatures..

there's alot more to say but i don't have time

dude that was beautiful...

[The Ever Elusive Gabe]

Pro: everything.

con: asthmatics cant smoke as much, and grass has a bad stigma.

[JDV28]

I dont know if you guys have read this yet, but its frickin sweeeet: it has been proved that smoking marijuana, heavily or not, does not increase, nor affect your chances of getting lung cancer. i read it on the news ppart of shroomery.com

[blackraven]

no it's doesn't increase, it's the same chance of getting cancer no matter what

[JDV28]

I meant, like, opposed to smoking cigarettes.

[blackraven]

exactly man, if you smoke a cig or smoke bud it's the same chance,... it's a health class myth that a joint is = to 400 cigs for what ever # you were told as a child.

[.Axel.]

Marajuana is much better for your body than cigerettes, lung cancer or not its the other chemicals they put in tobbacco that fuck up your lungs.

Nothing wrong with a nice coat of cannabis resin in your lungs anyhow.

[blackraven]

smoking anything is bad for you

[Krasus0x]

"Official"

[chotaman]

Pro- there are no cons

[Krasus0x]

I like the way you think.

[Guitarded15]

Pro- there are no cons

[possem]

It is only illegal because of those BIG rich dudes in the ivory towers ..
if pot became legal then we would have stronger fibres to make clothes and cheaper too.. we would not have to worry about the ozone being destroyed.. it would save at least half the problem of the damage happening to the world.
we would have much cheaper petrol for cars.
but this can not happen, we must destroy the world so these ivory tower fellas can still have their 8 course meals a night.
and keep their pockets fill.

thats both negative and good sides about it.

another negative side is GREED.. people thinkits illegal we can sell and rip people off majorly.
this should be free to all.. we should all be able to have enough to cook with.. cos smoking it is the worse thing for our health.


it would be best for our farm animals .. as it grows really fast.. in usa the first papers the white man were signing on were made out of hemp.
u do not need to useany of the tioxic wastes that pine trees use.
u would not need to use all the space that the native trees are being chopped down just for pine trees.. hemp grows faster .. is thicker and will always be stronger and better for the environment than pine.

[Krasus0x]

Con: .... Too high to think of anything negative.

[Misfits]

My pro's;
The goosebumbs you'll get when ligthing the joint, and inhaling the first time. I love it.
A left warehouse building, scary as it migth be just get even scarier.
Kung Pow is easely the funnyest film ever made - but only when smoking, damn it sucks when you're clean
Gorgeous Frankenstein are so fucking awesome when im high! (Doyle from Misfits solo project)
The smell of pot

Con's;
You don't wanna stop blazin, but eventually you'll have to. Unless you got some retainers to roll the joints for you. And do you have retainers? NO!


BTW i have a lot of fiends who're totally messed up in their skulls cause of hash, but i've never seen anyone freak out or get paranoia or something like that from pot. Just reminding people that we are only disgussing pot, rigth?

[Krasus0x]

True but it does make you wonder.

Not saying they weren't going to be fucked without smoking hash either.

I smoke hash and pot frequently and I am not a flip out of any sort.

[blackraven]

i have anxiety problems and when i stop smoking for un-average amounts of time it builds up and i have "bursts" once in awhile.

[Venrak]

My mental state is dependent on my daily consumption. I too get anxiety issues when I stop smoking. Crazy panic attacks and emotional outbursts.

Hrmmm...

[Krasus0x]

Are those bursts a cause from long term smoking? Or a reason to start toking in the first place?

[blackraven]

numero uno

[Krasus0x]

Yeah, then I think the same is true for myself then.

I've noticed that my temper is very short with a lot of people lately, I'll realize it after it happens though.
-sigh-

[blackraven]

I've come to realize when my " problems" begin to flare and i have to mentally battle them,.. lots of grinding of the teeth.

[Krasus0x]

I hear ya on that one. It sucks.

[AllenB]

Great list.. why is there an emphasis in the pros and cons? The one in bold texts...

[Krasus0x]

Some questions are better left unanswered.
Are you referring to the capitalized OFFICIAL?
So there aren't an abundance of single threads saying one of each post made here.

[blackraven]

pro, social invention!

[Krasus0x]

i'm so high right now, i'm not even too sure whats going on.

[blackraven]

i was rather high myself today,. it's starting to fade, but the acid is rolling in nicely over everything.

[Krasus0x]

I would say that being on medication and tokin up isn't usually a good thing either. Con

[Misfits]

Pro: Enhanced mood, greater attention and respet for the little details around you, understanding of life. Great sex, munchies run late at night, fun, social, it brings people to gether man.


Con: Memory loss, Money, getting boobs illegalness

Getting boobs? Thats not a con.. unless you're a dude, in wich case im really confused.. unless you're getting fat. Then it all makes sense
