kanny 20,451 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I've lost two good friends to drink but never to weed and in all my time I've only known one lad have problems and he was nuts to start with. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,625 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 When walking fifty hounds out you need to know all their names instantly, if I smoked then for 2-3 days my reactions would be noticeably slower in recalling them. The best weed I ever smoked was in the mountains above Granda. We stopped with a family of troglodytes (cave dwellers). They grew it themselves. Hour long giggling fits then really pleasurable visions, really out of this world. I was going to bring some seeds back but bottled it at the airport. I hardly even drink these days, wouldn't touch and drugs. I'm glad I did though and hope I can give the correct advice to my kids 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly my only real concern is kids taking it up, there's kids barely in their teens up and down the country puffing away all day every day and God knows what sort of effect it's having on their developing brains Obviously any health concerns over cannabis pale into insignificance when compared to alcohol though and it's only real chronic use which is a concern whereas alcohol can always be dangerous if you're not careful... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silversnake 1,099 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not had a spliff for 8 years or so . Smoked dope of one sort or another since I was 13 at one point was doing 1 ounce of green a week and was a lazy f****r I don't care what anyone says it definitely fucks with ya head I'm on between a half ounce and an ounce a week at the moment and honestly really should cut down, doing anything to that sort of excess isn't good for you. Still rather a heavy green habit to drink though in terms of damage to your body and mind. That explains ALOT. I respect your honesty but I would seriously start some activities that distract you from smoking pot. I know many people who smoke similar amounts and it is never physically or mentally healthy.

DIDO.1 22,625 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think the difference with alcohol is it's more difficult for a young person to develope a genuine drink problem, plus they have hangovers to contend with, a heavy night could but them off a certain drink for life.

marshman 7,757 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I tried it one time I keep forgetting what we was talking about literally couldn't remember anything. Then I got hungry I went through the cupboard and all I could find was two dry pitta breads and a small pork pie so I put the pork pie between the pitta and made a sandwich . I think I may have been stoned . 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Nothing wrong with it as long as you don't abuse it.. I know people who hit it hard and it has a profound effect on their life, relationships, work, etc. I also know people who use it and function perfectly normal. With regards to it causing mental issues, the type of people who unfortunately suffer are the type of people who have a high chance of suffering mental issues anyway. If it's not the weed that takes them through the door it could just as easily be some traumatic event in their life, stress or something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barbarian1990 220 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Slightly off topic but you mentioned work. I think it's a joke that lads can't take recreational drugs in their own time without being at risk of losing their jobs. I'm in the same boat. Get random drugs tests at work, for cause drugs test if anything goes wrong on site, plus drugs tests for every new contract. And 6 monthly by the health and safety guy to top it off. If I have a sniff on Saturday there is no way in a million years that it's gonna ever impact my work on a Monday. But I would lose my job because I would fail the test. It really boils my piss. And I've never been a big drug taker. Only thing I can think of it being a problem with is if someone has a massive drug problem and working with high value equipment or materials what's stopping them nicking it to fund their habbit? Therefore ensuring nobody is on drugs means nobody's addicted so the urge to nick from company to fund habit is reduced. I can honestly see no other reason for drug testing in the work place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barbarian1990 220 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Its something that's never interested me but never had a problem aslong as it don't effect anybody else folks should be allowed to do what they want.
