Are people who NEED to smoke pot daily losers?

[Thatotherguy]

One joint has the same amount of tar as 10 cigarettes

Well, I've read that the average smoker smokes 1-2 packs a day, and if you're right about the amount of tar in a joint, then that's the equivalent tar of 2-4 joints a day, which would be a heavy pot smoker rather than an average one. Now if you were a pot smoker who smoked 20 joints/day (the same number of "smokes" as in a pack of cigarettes), you'd absolutely be killing your lungs!

Weed today is crazy strong. I have no idea how people can smoke it all day every day, regardless of building up a tolerance. In the early 80's grass was so mellowing and nice to get a buzz from. Today it fucks you up something fierce. I've smoked up twice in the last 15 years, both times reminding me why I don't do it anymore.

I only smoke up very rarely (generally about once every couple of months), but when I do, usually a single joint shared with another person is all I need... Even if I've got a really bad migraine. It's powerful medicine!

I would make a comment on this thread but im too busy not looking for a job, playing video games, not bathing, eating random junk food, trying to figure out how to construct a sentence and looking to score some free weed from another broke ass weed smoker.

In your case, it certainly shows.

mclovin76, I think it's probably a good thing you smoke weed, besides your back it must help you mellow out a bit. You must be some kinda wing-nut without it.

I've worked with and knew a couple of pot smokers and they always are broke asking to borrow. Mix that in with alchohol abuse and these people are total trash.

Most pot smokers can afford to get their own weed.

 

[schizo_man]

I've known a lot more alcoholics than Weed-oholics. Either one in moderation is fine, but ANYTHING to excess is bad.

You probably have a short temper and can't handle much...like other chronic potheads!!!

OK, this is something that bugs me. Why is it that it's become accepted practice to add "oholic" to the end of a word to indicate an addiction? Somebody who is addicted to alcohol is an alcoholic: it's alcohol + ic, it's not alc + oholic, so if you're addicted to weed it should be weedic instead of weedoholic. You're not addicted to weedohol!

BTW, my little rant about this pet peeve of mine isn't directed at you, schizo_man, because you are using it in what has become the accepted usage. The English language is constantly evolving (like any language), it's just that sometimes it evolves in ways that irritate me because they obviously came about when people who didn't really understand the words that they were using decided to invent new words

 

[Rotcod]

Tianna! Me too! Why are drugs so strong today? Why is it important to pass out? What happened to having fun eating crunchy food (mmmand creamy food) and enjoying the cool sensations and laughing at silly things.

To coin Dennis Leary, "People aren't satisfied with the way things are, they want to make them bigger, better, stronger and faster. Same way with pot, for years pot was just joints, and then bongs came out too. But now bongs aren't good enough for some people neeeeewwwww!

Correlation vs Causality

Perhaps smoking pot doesn't make you a loser.
Perhaps being a loser makes you want to smoke pot every day.

To give you the reverse logic. I have never smoked pot. Not once. That doesn't make me a winner. In fact, some would say that it makes me a nerd. However, I would argue that I would be a nerd anyway.

i have post traumatic stress disorder actually, i was physicaly abused till 14 when i stabbed my dad with scissors court decided that since my mom and sister testified that he had beat me and drowned me since i was 4 that i was just. wua wua wua wua...... weed helps with my back too mnay bike crashes.

Actually, that's an excellent point. If a high (heh, heh, heh, I said high) percentage of potheads are losers with shitty lives, its probably because being a loser with a shitty life makes you want to smoke pot or otherwise escape from reality. I know plenty of people who smoke weed regularly who aren't losers, so your idea about the causality makes a lot of sense.

I wish someone would teach me how to smoke a weed. I've tried it twice and didnt feel anything at all. Same with smoking, how do you enjoy either?

Well, I can't help you with cigarettes, as the 3 or 4 times I tried them, I hated them.

For weed, however, it's all about breathing technique. Take a slow, long inhale, filling your lungs up (personally I like to have my lips loose around the joint/pipe so that I get a mix of air and smoke). Hold it in your lungs for a slow three-count (or longer), and then slowly exhale. The key is that every stage should be taken slowly. It's pretty much the same technique that they teach you for deep breathing relaxation techniques.

I may only be a very occasional pot smoker, but I've been taught by some of the best!

 

[LittleAsianGuy]

I've tried it twice also and it was a bitch to buy,cut up,rolling paper etc. Both times im thinking wtf is the big deal with this stuff? I get more of a buzz from just drinking redbull and cheaper also.

[memyselfandI]

I've been a heavy-duty pot smoker for about 8 years.

Constantly employed, top 50% of the city based on median household income. Two beautiful kids, great marriage, lots of awesome friends, and I'm in amazing shape. I'd be more successful and better off if I wasn't as chronic, but it sure helps make life even more enjoyable.

People seem to try and define others by their habits. I find it ironic that people on an escort site are calling other people "losers" based on something as flimsy as a pot habit. I would point out that to a lot of people, guys who go to escorts are "losers". Pots and kettles....

Just wondering what are the side effects of smoking this stuff. If there are any legit research on long term n short term side effects

 

[schizo_man]

from what I've read there really isn't alot of long term effects. You don't loose your mind, creativity, etc. There can be a certain lifestyle that goes along with pot use but not all pot users live the pot life. Willie Nelson comes to mind here. He's an old fuck, hasn't lost his mind, creative as hell. He has become kind of a joke concerning pot, but I'd take his success anyday.
I think that daily pot use compared with daily alcohol use is relatively harmless. Hell, everything we eat now days has some risk.

I'll add this article here: http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/pot/a/blucsd030628.htm
