Marijuana (Good, Bad, Ugly?)

1) No, it's not. Like all enjoyable things (video games, movies, rollercosters) you might feel a mental addiction, but I personally have never known anyone that is so weak mentally that they can't stop smoking weed. Anyway, there aren't any cravings associated with it, so you're safe there.

2) Sometimes people feel anxiety while on it. Paranoia, things like that. Generally, that only happens when you smoke too much, and it's short-lived. Munchies! Though you might feel like this is positive while on it.

3) It's a very uplifting substance. As far as the good it does? Well, THC has been shown to shrink tumors, but that's not much of a factor unless you have cancer. I will say that it improves general feelings of well being, and sparks creativity in many people.

4) There is a smell, but it's not a lingering odor like cigarette smoke. The smell of marijuana is sort of skunky-sweet...the after smell is more like pine trees, but you do want to take precautions to cover it. Again, this isn't like cigarette smoke, where it lingers in your clothing, hair, and upholstery. You can smell it for a little while after, but after a few hours it dissipates completely.

5) That's tricky, I suppose. Generally, people don't lace their weed. It doesn't make economical sense to lace their product with some expensive drug, and then sell it at the same price. So usually, that's reserved for people who do that to their own personal stuff. Generally, buyers don't end up with laced weed, especially now. It's considered a bad move to lace someones stuff, and any decent guy selling pot isn't going to do it.

1) Is Pot addictive?

Smoke it moderately. People say pot isn't addictive but like all things, taking too much of it will keep you thinking of that good feeling and keep you wanting more. I have a few friends who smoke nearly everyday. It's more of a mental addiction though.

2) What's the worst effect is could have and what are the bad effects of it?

Paranoia. Especially if you're in an open area with a lot of people or you have something important to do.

3) What good does it do and what are the good effects of pot?

Opens up your creativity, imagination. Makes listening to music way better. Helps you sleep and helps you eat (especially beneficial if you're anorexic or suffer from some eating disorder).

4) Will it leave bad smell on your breath and clothes after smoking?

Unfortunately, yes. Spray enough cologne to hopefully mask the smell and be sure to put in eye drops and chew gum afterwards.

5) How can I be sure I got good weed that hasn't been modified (meaning, how will I get the original pot feeling)?

Marijuana probably travels thousands of miles before it gets in your hands. The bud itself probably touches hundreds of other hands before it's in your hands. You will never get the purest form of marijuana (unless you grow it yourself).

But if you're just talking about some very good marijuana, ask around. Ask people who's selling the best bud. Get a number and make sure it's someone you can trust. Remember, they're in it for the money, not friendships.

its seems like the world is in agreement that marijuana is healthier than alcohol and cigarettes. i never really hear the other side of the argument.

[ImANoob]

oh wow, nice to know. i guess it wont be too long before its legalized in america then a lot of the world will follow.

[AbramIsaac]

In Singapore, you could get sentenced to death for possession of marijuana. They have some ridiculous drug laws there.

Fuck Singapore.

[SliK]

Just for posession? I was aware smuggling it into those countries often result in death. It usually makes it to the news here when Australians get caught, one was hanged 6 or 7 years ago.

[AbramIsaac]

You're right, I believe the death penalty is for smuggling. Possession results in a caning, I think.

I was thinking about Ketum. I know the penalties are pretty high for even smallish amounts. EDIT: fuck, no that's Malaysia, for the Ketum/Kratom. Jesus, I'm having an off day.

[SliK]

Any ideas as to why they punish so severely for drug related crime?

[AbramIsaac]

I'm sure it's for the same reason all countries wage a drug war, they're afraid. They think that the damage done from drugs is far worse than the damage done from the punishment itself. Honestly though, I'm not sure how they can justify punishing people so severely for getting high.

It's fucked up. Makes America look like the Netherlands.

Theyre afraid Abram will come there and settle him self as a drug kingpin. The whole country would be corrupted with drugs in no time.

Abram, this is off topic but whatever. How would you rank Molly, Cocaine and Heroin in terms of harmfulness. Somebody was going on and on today trying to tell me that Molly was way worse for you than either of the other two.

[SliK]

Lol. Is Molly even harmful? :/

Abram, this is off topic but whatever. How would you rank Molly, Cocaine and Heroin in terms of harmfulness. Somebody was going on and on today trying to tell me that Molly was way worse for you than either of the other two.

LOL that's odd, I wonder what their logic was for that.

Heroin is definitely number one, especially in the area of addiction potential. The physical addiction from any opiate fucking sucks, and from Heroin (usually by IV) it's down right hell from what I've heard. Muscle cramps, insane diarrhea to the point of dehydration, vomiting, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression...the list goes on. That's what you're fighting against having happen when you're a heroin junkie. However, if you can keep a steady supply (at manageable doses), a heroin junkie can usually live a fairly normal life (barring hepatitis, HIV, and overdose). Still, chemical slavery is no bueno.

Cocaine isn't one of those "do it once and you're hooked" type of drugs. It's something that a person of average self-control could probably do recreationally once in a rare while without any issues. Since it has sort of a short duration, people that get used to doing it tend to keep re-dosing. That's why it's not so bad for a night or a weekend, but for people buying it in large amounts, the euphoria and inflated ego might be hard to resist. Physically, the act of snorting it regularly isn't good for you, and god only knows what's in it by the time it makes it to you from Columbia. It's also a tropane alkaloid, and that class of chemicals tends to build up in your body over time.

Molly. Molly is just about the most benign stimulant out there. Now, I would imagine it's almost impossible to find pure molly's anymore. Generally you'll be getting some X rolls stamped with meth, caffeine, MDPV, and maybe just a touch of actual Molly just to make it worth your while. It's a psychedelic, which isn't the type of thing that you want to do all the time, no matter how good it feels. It's too mentally stressful--that's not to say that it's such a bad thing, but rather you just don't feel like doing psychedelics every day because you feel mentally exhausted afterwards. True, unadulterated Molly isn't going to gack you out, and is perfectly safe in normal doses for most people.

Not to mention, out of all of those drugs, Molly actually may leave you with a lasting impression that could benefit you in the long run. The level of empathy you feel when on the stuff is unreal; you could feel the pain of your worst enemy, and forgive them for whatever they did to wrong you. You learn to love others, and love yourself, and it's pretty much the best cure for asshole-syndrome. Occasional use of Molly is safer than occasional use of either of the previous drugs, and is also more fun I would think.

Aside from some dehydration, I don't see what is so bad about doing some Molly once in a great while. It doesn't drain your spinal fluid, and unless your a regular heavy user, your serotonin levels aren't going to be drastically affected either. I wonder what this person you were talking to was basing their argument on?

I've been doin far to much Molly as of recent. Getting worryingly close to the point I "need" it to have an awesome night out.
