alright man, i think im going to stop posting on here now because its sorta gay arguing on the internet but if your into messing with kids on here and calling them kooks when you have never seen surf before im not holding you back. And ya im gunna be three times the stoner as you in a few years cause you know me and could predict that lol

 

chill

it sounds like you need to smoke some more pot and chill out man. who cares if you can surf better than him even when you are blazed you. just as long as its fun you

 

There is nothing wrong with smoking as long as it is done in moderation. You just need to get the facts straight first. I am not one of these old wise men (I'm 26) but, I do have a little bit of insight. I started smoking at 13. Was a straight A student in magnet classes too. By the time I got busted, suspended, punished and arrested I was 15 years old and my grades were C+ at best. After that, I pulled my grades up and managed to make it into College by the skin of my teeth thanks to the fact that even the classes I was failing were AP classes. I stopped smoking til' I was almost done my 1st year of college. I did start smoking again and rather enjoy it. The main key, just like everyone else said..... "moderation." I watched alot of people around me fade away into the wind and get carried away with drugs. But, I do like to partake, especially on small days or after my surfer buzz from the day has faded.

While on probation as a teen I was required to take drug awareness classes and managed to learn a few things about marijuana. 1st: There are no recorded deaths from smoking pot (you have to blaze over 2lbs in one sitting.... I would pass out and also couldn't afford it) 2nd: pot doesn't make you dumber.... excess smoking does create a thin fatty layer on your brain that slows nueron firing time, causing delayed reactions of course 3rd: you cannot get $50 Q's of kush, maybe some bricked up swag. That is absolutely rediculous and would have allowed me to smoke twice as much over the years 4th: It is a gateway drug (never realized that until I watched friends I grew up smoking with ruin their lives with some crazy ****) Don't think most people would be comfortable trying things like lsd, shrooms, molly, heron, 8balls n **** if they didn't ever smoke herb before 5th: Mary is an herb put on this earth for our enjoyment, in moderation 6th: according to a Dutch study, if someone smokes constantly for numerous years for some reason they start to produce more estrogene and can even develope breasts (very rare) AND 7th: Weed is a stimulate. It does not mellow everyone out.... in general, it actually causes anxiety (whether you admit it or not) though it can be used to reduce muscle tension (hence the use of helping people with glucoma) and induce appetite (mainly for kemo patients and munchies).

If it ever does get legalized there should be an age limit on it as long as I am old enough We might end up saving a couple billion in court fees, police expenditures, and jail house budgets if it was legalized since most of our convicts are locked up because of that sweet sweet lady named Mary Jane

Know yourself, what you can handle and all of your limitations. To me, it's a reward after a long day, fun for a concert/festival, just a treat on a day off, or takes the place of alcohol which can be even more destructive. It's to be used in moderation and is not always necessary!

 

As far as addiction goes..... I never miss a day of work because of herb or because I was drinking. But, I do get behind on my work, skip days in the office, and cancel on clients because of surfing. How healthy is that addiction. I don't know......but I ABSOLUTELY love it!!!

 

any addiction can be bad...

try eating a big mac every day, and see how that works on your body.

The guy on super size me almost didn't make a month on the McDonalds diet.

 

Yup, it's all about balance. I read the book of Tao and loved it. Actually made me realize a few things about myself... including not eating as much fast food despite being skinny as a rail.

 

damn right OC sponger

 

i know it's easy to be gullible on an internet forum, but sometimes you need to believe those that speak with logic and truth.

my dad IS an engineering consultant, a rather successful one - his current projects include the new bank of america tower in midtown manhattan and the new yankees stadium.

someone said it recently - moderation. my dad blazes probably only every couple of weeks and never alone... i'm different because i blaze every day and blaze by myself whenever but i don't go so far as to get so stoned i can only sit on my butt.

i like to be lifted but not too lifted, i blaze and like to do things like play bass guitar, run errands, maybe even some real work related to my job (software development). yeah i'm a big nerd but i am also a huge stoner. that may come as a huge surprise to some of y'all but yeah, we do exist.

seriously just learn how to use pot as a positive tool and you may find yourself in a whole new lifestyle. but i will agree with others on here and say that if pot is hurting your career, grades, whatever... then stop. i have a lot of friends who like to blaze but they will admit that they feel super lazy and stupid when they do so they've either went cold turkey or cut down heavily on their sessions, which is cool, i don't think they are any less of a person for doing so.

but as for the drug haters, bible worshippers, or straight edge folk... back off. weed has never done anything but help me and i've never hurt others as a result of being stoned so stand down and stick to your own devices whatever they may be

 

This is what the great Ben Harper has to say on the subject.

Let us burn one from end to end,
And pass it over to me my friend.
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow,
To light me up before I go.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you're causin' no harm, then you're alright with me.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

Herb the gift from the earth,
And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before you knock it try it first,
Oh, you'll see it's a blessing and not a curse.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one, oohhh.

 

I can't agree more on the idea of everyone having their own "tool" to deal with life (because if you haven't noticed, life is ****ing crazy at times). Whether its exercising, bodybuilding, models, painting, music, video games, ect. But, I don't think it was the idea of smoking pot that got people riled up on this thread, just that one kids attitude towards everyone else and even the subject in general.

I totally feel smoking pot has changed my life, only in a positive way. It hasn't turned me into a lazy bum who breaks plans with friends and family to get high. I am able to get good grades in college, and successfully work at my part time job with out any issues. Pot is totally a social drug in my opinion. I smoke maybe 4-6 times a month. There are of course, the pot heads out there who smoke all the time. A lot of these people put up the act of being a pot head, while others who smoke a few times a day are still competent, successful, coherent people.

 

surfing is the perfect high.
clean and pure.
like music,like love.

if you need drugs you must be doing it wrong.
the beauty of it all is lessened by additional effects.

it takes a clear mind.
and a clean body.

surf alone,no leash.
that's as high as it gets.
like music,like love.
