I know EXACTLY what you mean! Unfortunately, I am up for a job in a pharmacy so I haven’t been able to …um, medicate myself because of the pee test.
move to canada (toronto)…..trust me…..trust me…………….the city, the people, the diversity and acceptance its like a smaller new york minus the danger…..and that reason why i say this…….no pee tests and canadians really do blaze like its going out of style
fuck toronto! come to vancouver! the west coast of Canada is waaaaaay better than the east coast – pot is practically legal here, every one is super laid back, and the environment itself is breathtaking!
they call Canada “utopia” for a reason
i used to live in toronto
and now im in vancouver
weed is practically legal here
Vacouver is the place to be!!!! Smoking in the cafe and in the lounges is great. it such a social atmoshpere.
I’m Canadian and I blaze; but only to my desired high; not like it’s going out of style. I don’t like overdoing things. We’re just more socially accepting in a lot of cases, but it’s not like you wont get in trouble.. because you do. Cops are kind of lenient and let you get off with a warning if it’s only a joint.
People frown upon it here… just because they’re uneducated. I love Canada.
i used to live in toronto
So true…My daughter had anorexia. She was so uptight about her body image, thanks to the media, but when her cousin and brother turned her on to “weed”, it took about one month for this “incurable disorder” to be cured. She relaxed,stopped fretting about her body image, gained a healthy appetite, went off the evil pharmaceuticals that would have made her worse, then graduated with honors and is now in college, happy and healthy. She told the doctor that pot relaxed her mind and her body and gives full credit to it.
wow you must not live in the US. If you do major kudos to your doct.
Im a recovering anorexic and i have bi polar disorder.In my short exsitance (18 years) i have been on ALL the main sedivates, lithium various other mood stabilizers and obviously the Anti depressant Prozac! Weed is excellent for me when i’v had a bad week. I do it maybe once a week or less and i started this about 3mths ago and i no longer need the ole Prozac. My self confidence has gone WAY up and Im fairly settled with myself AND im ok(ish) with my weight. I thank weed and my doctor(im from Europe) semi approves! Cant be all bad now!
I tell every DR i go to that i smoke pot just so they know. Ive never had a bad repose from them.
if you ever have a negative outlook on life.
i suggest you get out. travel a little.
use all your money on that trip,buy yourself a ferret, become homeless & start back all over.
in the end you’ll be a better person.
i promise.
p.s. weed helps through it all

So true
same here. I love the positive opinions I’ve had of myself and the more chill attitude I’ve had since I started smoking pot. It’s help chill out my OCD, it’s fueled my positive self-image, it’s changed my life for the better.
AMEN
I’m glad you have found the joys of weed
I wish everyone could…..
I wish everone would realize the immense good marijuana can do for people. I was the same way kind of. I haven’t smoked weed in about 2 years and I haven’t been as happy as I was before. The pills never were and still aren’t even remotely as helpful. :/
completely agreeing ive had “problems” with both. and i was always as happy as ever with i was smoking pot
Marijuana, and it’s positive effects will never be truly realized by people in the great US of A.
What a shame.
It makes me want to cry.
wow, like that’s sad if u want to die then go don’t slowly just kill ur self that’s just stupid!
dear, no one has ever overdosed from marijuana. no one has ever died as a direct response to the consumption of marijuana. ever. please research it.
this is correct. although marijuana CAN be quite harmful, aslong as you don’t abuse it you’ll be fine. it is not impossible to OD on marijuana, though it is PHYSICALLY impossible…i know, doesnt make sense, but hear me out. the only way to OD on marijuana [this is a fact, got a load of sheets while in rehab...with all the information on all the drugs i was doing] you would have to smoke one hundred ounce every 15 seconds for five minute to overdose on marijuana…that itself is physically impossibly, but that’s what youd have to do to overdose.
and as i was saying, by abusing… i mean smoking an insane amount, most people tend to do so. i was smoking about four grams a day, sometimes a bit more sometimes a bit less for about two years. and in october, and end of december my lungs collapsed. i’m not 27 days sober. but it does do damager, if you abuse it.
i know exactly how you feel. drug tests though…
i hate how everyone says weed isn’t bad.
people do die from the results of being high.
When you buy weed – you honestly never know if it is straight marijuana or if it is laced.
A friend of mine smoked a blunt and started throwing up and passed out.
The weed was actually laced with coke or crack or whatever.
I’m not a big smoker, myself
But i know what you meaan about wanting to die. I’ve tried overdosing on sleeping pills twice and trying cutting the vein in my wrist. What sucks is when you are laying there and you know that your almost happy and someone finds you or you don’t cut deep enough. People will tell you that there are so many reasons to be alive and that you can be happy if you really want but sometimes not everyone can be happy….i just know this,
if that was laced with coke or crack she wouldnt have passed out
weed is amazing and not harmful do some research before you say things
If marijuana were legal, its sale would be regulated. People could buy it from approved sellers (like the coffee shops in Amsterdam) and therefore not get laced product.
why would a dealer lace an inexpensive drug with a much more expensive drug? Aside from the fact that weed is, well..a plant and coke is a powder (a little obvious to spot). I suspect your friend just tried to prove himself a little too much, had a whitey (smoked too much), puked and passed out. It happens, but you won’t die (however much you may want to).
people lace weed so that they can get the consumer addicted to whatever drug they lace it with,most newbies dont know what laced weed looks like so they smoke it but just an fyi normally if your weed sparkles its laced with something. It’s basically the same idea as a dealer giving a first time coke user the best stuff and then after they get hooked he gives them the cut crap with other stuff in it so that they have to keep buying more and more.
and if marijuana was legalized… we’d never have this to worry about. even though I’m with the guy above. drug dealers don’t give away free drugs. claiming you smoked “laced weed” is a common newbie smoker mistake.
lol nah dryg dealers do lace weed i used to date one saw it every day
drug*
yeah i have smoked weed since i was 13 years old. I am now 20. If you don’t know what laced weed looks like then you seriously need to smoke more weed. I have only ever smoked laced weed once and that was because i was on Shaggy 2 Dopes tour bus. I knew it was laced but I didn’t care because it was fucking Shaggy. I have declined from buying weed before because i took one look at it and knew it was laced. Oh and FYI coke doesn’t have that effect on you. Fucking idiots. People need to get some education around this place.
Your friend just got really, really high off that blunt. It can happen on a random occasion, you smoke too much, feel sick, and get so high you pass out, but it doesn’t mean the weed was bad. Happened to me once off my first bong rip.
i’ve had this same experience! i smoke all the time and my life is amazing
You think that you’re only affecting yourself.
My dad was just the same as you.
And he chose weed over his own daughters.
I despise you.
Perhaps think about the people around you that you could be hurting.
Everyone has issues, and problems.
And they get through just fine without having to turn to drugs.
Amen
my dad is the exact same way.
even after my mom left him and he PROMISED he would change, he’s back to weed.
I haven’t smoked weed since I saw him high one night and he pushed me out of the house, just to smoke pot.
It may not physicly harm you but god, it has an effect on the people who care about you.
if your dad chose weed over you.. that’s because he is an arsehole…
get over it
grow up.
my dad did the same thing.. in fact my dad puts anything before me..
but its not because he’s a stoner.
and don’t despise someone you don’t even know.. do you realise how ridiculous that is
Oh fuck off with your “get over it, grow up” bullshit. Don’t say that and then try to sympathize and tell someone they shouldn’t despise someone they don’t know. You also don’t know this person, nor much about their family problems.
You have no room to talk.
It’s unfortunate that your father neglected you, but that’s not because he smoked weed. It’s not the drugs fault that he wasn’t there for you. Lots of fathers all over this country neglect their family lots of reasons. It’s an unfortunate situation, but the reason for the problem is the person, not the drug or activity that he’s neglecting you for. Marijuana, like anything, is unhealthy in excess. It’s just a matter of personal management. If you can manage your use of marijuana, then it won’t have a negative impact on your life (unless your get in trouble with the law). If you can’t manage it, then it will have a negative effect on your life, just like anything else.
My dad smokes weed daily, and i love my father with all my heart. We’ve only ever gotten into one arguement. i think marijuana has actually strengthened are relationship. so you can’t despise someone cause it makes them happy, cause weed has only ever effected me in the most positive of ways.
my parents choose everything over me and they don’t smoke or drink. weed has helped me from killing myself and if you tell me to quit than you are putting the gun to my head and pulling the trigger yourself.
My god, I love weed. It’s the only way I can stand to be alone with myself.
rofl..yes! exactly my words! the world is a lonely place at times.. and being a student without much money you tend to spend a lot of time alone (not by choice!) and weed.. well, it is one of the only ways i can stand to be alone with myself.. otherwise i would go crazy with loneliness!
I honestly don’t know what I would do with out my MJ. It is a tremendous help to me. Yes there are risk and all and to the person who says you don’t have to turn to drugs. I honestly would prefer turning to MJ rather than the prescribed MEDS. just look at the side effects of the Meds and then the side effects of MJ. Can’t compare. I wish the US of A would get over the negative stigma! I will blaze till I die…or get a job that tests me…shame on those companies!!! They should test for vicodin, oxycontin, and a slew of other crazy RX’s! AIt is not a gateway in my opinion. The only way you get on hard drugs is b/c you want them not b/c they are a step up form MJ. I have smoked mj for about 8 years and have never ever did anything else. Even in college where the peer pressure was ridiculous. I never wanted to and never did take any other type of drug. Hope you never want to feel that way again!
Don’t tell people that they will be “just fine without having to turn to drugs.” I’ve never tried weed. But as much as I hate the side-effects of my expensive prescription drugs, I wouldn’t be alive without them. I tried not going on drugs. But I am diagnosed with many severe mental disorders that stem from a lifetime of abuse. Don’t judge other people. Please.
Amen. Couldn’t have said it better myself, Lori.
yeah, life can suck big time. and yes, drugs are a relief. but you’re just going to tie yourself to them. doors are going to close and in a little while life is going to suck more. i’d try something else while you still can. maybe try to help someone else so you don’t focus on yourself so much. it can help, service really helped me. good luck.
Seeing this secret made me so happy. It feels so good to see someone else’s experience mirrors one’s own.
Legalize it!
Here in Canberra, Australia, weed is not legal but it has been decriminalized.
whatever that means
we can have up to 28grams without getting anything more than a small fine.
I can relate to this more than most can understand
and
i dont find it our place to judge it.
weed is not a drug!!!!!! its a plant…you cant overdose on it, you cant get addicted to it you cant help but love it dammit…stop taking it so seriously its all about moderation just like you probably enjoy your glass of wine after work others enjoy their joints…an excess of anything can turn into something harmful…but heres something.. an excess of weed per night will get you the best sex ever and a full nights sleep whereas an excess of alcohol per night will get you nothing but a headache in the morning and a full nights worth of oral on your porcelain toilet..:)
what are you, 12?
Of course you can become addicted to weed. Smoke it everyday for 20 years and you’ll be pretty damn hooked. I know.
what are you two who the hell are you to judge >
Just because you develop a habit and you get used to having it every day doesn’t mean you’re addicted. Marijuana is not physically addictive – it does not cause dependence.
I didn’t say physically addicted (although it does have some pretty harsh withdrawal effects). the addiction is definitely mental, but that doesn’t make it any less powerful. Just take a look at the hordes of people on uncommonforums.com if you don’t believe me.
And Rachael – we’re all here to offer an opinion, which is necessarily a judgement. You are making a judgement about the two of us with your comment, so stop being so self righteous.
Nord is right, i am addicted to weed, i managed to quite for about a month a while ago and felt like i was ready to smoke again occaisonally… ive smoked every day since then, ive been smoking about 5 years and was never happier then when i quit. i just can’t seem too be able to stay off it. it sucks. smoking is enjoyable, but i wouldn’t recomend it as a cure to anyones problems.
Scientifically, there is nothing in 100% naturally grown marijuana that is physically addictive.
If you put tobacco with your weed, you become addicted to that.
If not, its a mental addiction, not physical.
word!
Whoever made the comment about ” I can’t be alone without smoking pot” I totally understand. Pot has helped me immensely in getting over my past relationship. There have been a couple times where I wanted to kill myself. Pot has equalized me in a lot of. On the flip side though, pot is merely a distraction from depression, it isn’t a cure.
“On the flip side though, pot is merely a distraction from depression, it isn’t a cure.” A-fucking-men. People can say marijuana is a miracle drug, that they love it, that they are so much happier with it, but it is certainly no cure because at the end of the day, without your weed, you still are unhappy, still can’t stand yourself…and self-hatred truly can not be fixed by some drug that temporarily alters your mind and numbs the pain.
Funny- isn’t that EXACTLY what happens when you go off your meds? So, aside from the legality, tell me, what’s the difference?
there is nothing that is different except that the drugs will kill you and pot wont.
I understand that depression and other mental illnesses are real…I’ve been diagnosed with both, so I get that sometimes feelings like depression are beyond one’s control. I’ve attempted suicide twice. And I need to say that suicide is absolutely never the answer. It’s actually one of the most selfish acts a person can commit. You may think you are getting rid of your own pain, you may believe that no one that you would leave behind even cares, but that’s all bullshit. It’s unfortunate that so many people become so blinded by their own pain that they do not care anymore about who they will affect. Suicide is not glamorous. Your funeral will not be pretty. Imagine your pain and then multiply it by a million and that is the pain you will inflict upon others by taking your life. And I don’t really believe that anyone believes suicide is their only option…it’s a way out for those too cowardly to pick themselves up and live or are too afraid to even be happy. Everyone has pain and everyone has the strength within them to push through it. And it’s okay to ask for help. No one can do it on their own.
The way I always see it, nature promises each of us a death, inevitably you WILL get your ‘wish to die’, so why waste energy trying to do something you’ll get for free at some point anyway!
Staying alive…excellent decision.
Weed…not so much.
YES, weed isn’t directed linked with deaths…but car crashes, other accidents, etc caused from being high ARE.
Life can be great if you make it that way! You don’t (and shouldn’t) need weed to enjoy it!
there are more deaths from legal things like alcohol than weed but ya why even talk about those anyways its not whats in question
I know how you feal completly i wish i knew you so i could give you a great big hug stoners are happy people there is just something in it that makes people smile.
YES!!!
okay so I’ll start by saying that weed may or may not be good. it all depends on the user as well as the provider. the user may abuse the product as previously mentioned. the provider may lace the product. either way. marijuana, to me, is better than prescriptions. in many cases at least. if you find the right person there are no additives. it’s just cut and sold. it helps people with anxiety, OCD, insomnia; people like me that have all three of those! honestly, I’m not going to try to promote weed to people who don’t want it. i’m just trying to help you be a little open-minded. to “BB” when you said about car crashes etc being related to being high. I’d just like to point out that, hypothetically, there could be laws against that kind of thing as with alcohol. i.e. no drinkng and driving. also, you can’t say that you can make life great. you never know what’s going on in someone’s life. a dead parent and abusive replacement isn’t always “fixable.” thanks for listening.
Well thought through comment, I hear you.
It is so good to hear that this plant that has so many different uses saved your life
Hey man i know where youre coming from. I did the same thing when I was 17. Pot helps a lot.
weed is horrible. it increases anxiety and ruined my life.
you’re a dumbass. period.
wow, you must be some kind of mini Hitler if you think you can just make a statement like that with no kind of qualification and think that people won’t just point it straight back at you.
Really? Because I personally agree with him/her and believe that many of these statements are misguided. No one should have to rely on a plant to make their lives better. What makes you think you can truly develop as a person when you constantly have to lean on drugs? And then once it’s gone you’re in the shithole, right? Of course you’re going to defend it if you love it. I have stoner friends and honestly, I hate that they do it. The things they do for it and because of it are ridiculous. “Dumbass” is the right word.
Well, I don’t smoke, anymore. I also know that smoking helped me deal with my mental issues. I mean, my shrink told me he thought if something didn’t change, I would be in prison before I turned 35. Instead, I’m enrolled in college and working on my Master’s. I smoked for a couple of years, and I spent that time learning how to deal with anger. How is relying on a plant different than relying on pills prescribed by a psychiatrist? I’ll tell you this: I hurt some people when doctors had me on pills. I never did while smoking. They hand out pills, and half the time, it’s like handing a loaded handgun to an infant. Hell, Zoloft alone took me from “sociopathic tendencies” to full blown sociopath completely incapable of any emotion. No, not everybody can balance out using pot to stabilize their moods and help get a grip. It does work for some people, just like Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, Lithium, and Wellbutrin. One of my girlfriend’s friends opened his wrists with a box cutter after being put on Wellbutrin. At worst, from weed, he would have just eaten everything in his kitchen and watched cartoons. I’m also not saying being a full blown pothead is a great idea. Let me ask you this, though. I used to fantasize about killing people every day. I don’t, anymore. Smoking gave me enough of a buffer zone to deal with all of the rage a little bit at a time, until I could deal with it all. I don’t need it anymore, so it did its’ job. Now, I have learned to deal with things that come, instead of putting it away until I am a ticking time bomb. The effects of it aren’t that different from Xanax, anyway.
fuck toronto! come to vancouver! the west coast of Canada is waaaaaay better than the east coast – pot is practically legal here, every one is super laid back, and the environment itself is breathtaking!
they call Canada “utopia” for a reason
Wow, I wish you all could see my brother. He has schizophrenia and his brain is completely fried from smoking alot of weed from an early age.
Fact is, it may not and probably will not do you much harm, but it can happen. All of you saying that it’s not addictive and it’s a ‘happy, stoner drug’, yeah alright, where the fuck did all the chilled out hippies from the 70s go? They all have psychosis now, hahaha. Yeah not so chill now, are they? /facepalm
Your brother probably got schizophrenia from doing a different drug, like psilocybin or LSD. Those halucinogens are known for triggering that shit sometimes.
Also, it could just be that he developed schizophrenia late with no direct connection to smoking weed. My aunt has schizophrenia and i have many bi-polar family members, so i’m quite familiar with what’s goin down with people that have these diseases…
All i’m saying is he might have done other durgs, cuold’ve been natural. I don’t think cannabis is powerful enough to trigger it.
In my opinion, the people who have become “burnt out” are those people who smoked MORE than just weed. They also smoked too much prior to the age of 17, when the brain is completing it’s development.
Also remember people need to increase their brain daily; those who choose not to wouldn’t do it if they weren’t smoking weed!
I smoke weed. I am not going to be naive and sit here and say it isn’t addictive or that it has no chance of medical consequences but the prescription anti-despressents and anti-psychotics I was on caused much more damage to me – I was heavily sedated, I was incontinent, I lactated, I put on massive amounts of weight and Chlorpromazine caused damage to my fertility. The withdrawals of the prescription medication I was on were harsh, whilst on them I could barely function. People say that smoking weed to cover your problems justs masks the issues – its pretty much the same for many of the meds I was on.
I would never advocate using recreational drugs to anyone. I have seen many people harmed through their use and those that do use them I would encourage to make an informed choice to it and know your limits and respect moderation because weed is, at the very least, psychologically addictive (it is rare to be able to buy 100% pure weed. Most of it is given chemicals to speed the growth at the very least.) Find a “respected” dealer, not a random off the street. Be careful.
Whilst many more people’s lives have been damaged by legal drugs such as alcohol. I would never sit here and say “go on, go ahead, its excellent” but I do know where you are coming from. Since switching to (moderately used) weed I have been able to function, get a qualification and a job and have stayed out of the psyche ward for over a year. I know it maybe isn’t the smartest decision, but it is certainly one that has benifitted me more than ten years of prescription medication.
take one hit of some good shit and see if it doesnt change your outlook on that
those hippies were all on lsd you fool
Cannabis saves lives. This is the proof. One love and blaze on! Herb is the healing of a nation!
I’ve never smoked weed but I’m about to soon. I’ve wanted to very badly for the passed two years. I don’t believe weed is addicting or I ever will be “addicted” to it, but I already feel like I love it and the feeling. I know I’ll love it. I know it’ll help me. I can’t wait to try it.
give it a second thought. drugs are a bad idea in general unless prescribed for an illness.
you do not know how your body or mind will react.
i started smoking weed when i was fourteen, and because i am predisposed to addictive substances, i couldn’t stop getting high because i could not face reality. i didn’t like it or myself. then i tried a bunch of other drugs and was a cocaine addict for twenty years. it almost ruined my life. now i stay away from any drugs because it’s not worth going to jail, the hospital, or the morgue.
if you are lonely, unhappy, or bored, try finding a hobby, or joining a club or gym.
i live in toronto.
i am high all day, every day.
no problems at all.
true talk.. i live in the US… but i have had similar situations i’ve been thru and and i feel ya..
thats pretty badass man(:
me tooooo!
Mmmm yes.
Good job. ^_^ I can’t do it, anymore due to my job and everything, but I know exactly what you mean. It worked better than antipsychotics ever thought about. Due to the work/piss test thing I just resort to rough sex these days, though.
I’ve never been prescribed to any drug and I’m 24 years old. My graduate school adviser told me that since I was stressing out so much that I needed up to my medications. I told her that I’ve never taken any prescription drugs and she told me that I was the first graduate student that she’s met in several years that has not been prescribed to some kind of anti-depressant/anxiety/stress/etc. I did not tell her this, but I’ve smoked for the past 10 years of life – 5 of those being heavily. I truly believe with everything in me that without that natural medicine I would not be as successful in my life, both academically/psychologically. Thank you nature.
bye george, you humans and your emotions
People who smoke weed on a daily basis are too stoned to do shit. They don’t go school nor work. I have seen weed destroyed a few friends’ future.
Smoking weed is like an introductory class to a deep black hole. Disagree all you want. But you know you are throwing your life away.
I believe that god created something on earth for all our needs. Weed is all natural and definitely has a proper place. It has helped a lot of people get off harsh pharmaceuticals. My friend, for instance, has grown up with severe ADHD. He smokes rather than taking his prescribed medication, which he found made him feel depressed. He’s currently in uni and doing well in all his classes. His family is very proud of him.
ok, to all you people posting examples – “weed saved my life.” “weed destroyed my family” whatever – i think we can see from all these different stories that DIFFERENT THINGS WORK FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE. obviously weed is working for this person. another person might be better off with perscription drugs. just because ________ (insert coping mechanism) hasn’t worked for you, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for others and it doesn’t give you the right to judge other people who use it. if smoking weed prevents this person from committing suicide and it makes them happy then i say they should keep on smoking.
i understand entirely
i was suicidal and severely depressed for four years before i discovered pot
it helped save my life
i, too, have never been happier
so a sincere thanks to maryjane ♥
GOOD FOR YOU!
<3
Pot is very theraputic. It relaxes me to the point that I can face my true self and problems…. pills don’t bring that out.
weed saved my life… I got kicked out of school because of my struggles with my depression. I lost my health insurance because I got kicked out of school. I couldn’t afford the $180 a month for my medication without health insurance. If it wasn’t for smoking I don’t think I would be alive right now. It made life tolerable while I worked through my depression and anxiety disorder.
Weed is neither the cause of your problems, ‘nor the solution. It is a tool. It helps one get away from the anxieties of life without ever really getting away – one can do whatever they can normally do, sober. I’ve been through the emotional imbalances of being a teenager; I threatened my mom with a knife when I was younger, and had severe anger management issues, I even contemplated suicide at one point in my life. I’ve been smoking pot every day heavily for the past year or so, but I’ve been smoking off and on for the past couple of years. I’ve never been a happier person. I’ve never been a more creative, dependable, and chill person, and contrary to popular belief, I’m not a fuck up either. I’m headed to university this coming year. I find that the families that get ruined because of pot are a small minority – how many commercials are there that show the opposite? The media makes pot to be terrible, but I know that it is quite the opposite. Like people drink, I smoke; look what alcohol does to people. If you fuck up your life with pot, as Joe Rogan mentioned, you are a fuck up to begin with – if it’s not pot, it’s cheeseburgers that fucked you up, (etc, etc). I don’t think people want to blame themselves for their problems anymore.
It worked for me too
The only way to kill a lab rat with weed is to drop a 25 lb brick on it from 20 ft up
If someone really wants to die they should be able to without feeling guilty. It’s a selfish thing to do, sure, but it is also selfish to want them to be alive just so you won’t be sad they’re gone. I do not like suicide, i think it is a devastating and tragic thing to happen, but I would not call it cowardly or selfish. Sometimes you just gotta do what YOU want, not what other people want you to.
My mother and all her friends were hippies from the seventies, and they certainly do not have “psychosis”. That’s the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard.
