Everyone on this site can give you their opinion on weather pot is good, bad, or the other for you, and can even find sites to back it up. But there is one fact about it that everyone can agree on: You can get into serious trouble. And I have a feeling prison would "mess with your head" more than most drugs would. Just my opinion....
YES, YES, YES. I spent today in a state mental hospital. The unit I was on was the forensic unit. They specialize in the criminally insane. You know, people who are found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI). I can tell you that it was not the drugs that caused the insanity, but, from speaking to the 30+ patients on the unit, that it was the drugs that contributed to the crime.
The most prevalent drugs were marijuana, cocaine (crack), and alcohol. The men on this unit were under the influence of one or more of these drugs when they committed their crimes.
So, while weed itself does not cause crime and/or mental illness in and of itself, it is certainly a factor.

Yes, for those of you who are insane, I agree that J_9 is absolutely right; you shouldn't smoke pot. I trust that you will see the wisdom of her advice and adhere to it scrupulously.
Just to speak to the "laziness" and lack of ambition bit... I think one thing that pot does is help people disconnect from the Western capitalism story that keeps "the rest of us" on the rat race treadmill.
I see that as a good thing. The problem comes when they don't have any other compelling story to replace it with.
If you weren't taught how to make your life mean something on your own, then you smoke an herb that "takes away" the story you were given, then I guess it's time to go read some Victor Frankl. Of course turning on the PlayStation is so much easier...
As an aside, it's funny to hear people say things like, "There's a reason it's illegal," since, where I live, it's not.

Ok Ive talked to cops , and each and ever one of them said they could not think of arresting a pot user for a crime that they had committed under the influence of weed and weed alone.
When you get right down to it -- most of the cops Ive spoken to feel the weed laws are a waste of time. -- Savage
You MIGHT get "addicted" to the FEELING. But you won't have withdraw feelings!! I mean its not like crack or even cigs.... just don't get high daily.... It is NOT addictive... wow the government is not always right... putting lies into ppls heads.... like global warming is fake... yea ok bush

Kids are told that pot is bad and they try it and then they realize that the information they were given was bull. At this point whoever told them that has no credibility and they may try other drugs that do offer a real threat to there life.
We wish you well
You're right. The problem with exaggerating the dangers of pot is that it leads people to disregard warnings about drugs that really are dangerous.
I'm curious. Who is this "we" you refer to in your posts? Are you perhaps royalty and accustomed to using the royal "we"? Or is somebody else helping you compose your answers?
Me and my mates use to smoke weed and out of the lot of us i was scarus cos i had seen what it can do to people it can litirally ruin your life accedemically mentally and physically. if i was you i would seriously stop while your ahead and if your friends do not wish to reason with your view then the best thing to do is to find other friends i no it seems hard and unfair but i no coz i had to do it. i lost a lot of good freinds over weed but atleast i no a did the right thing.
Hi Emland,
We do not reciprocate any hostility toward you.
If our using the word "we" made you conscious of hostility and resistance inside you we are glad that our presence has aided in making you more conscious.
Sarcasm, just one more service I offer.

We fail to see what you disagree with? The thread is entitled "smoking weed, can it mess my head up?" and after you appeared to make some kind of insult to us you point out that pot is illegal. Its legal status in the US is quite irrelevant to the subject of this thread or my post.
Did you read my post about my ex-brother-in-law? My co-worker's son is soooo devoted to weed that he steals his terminal grandmother's pain pills to trade for it. All I can tell you is that I have never met a person who regularly uses pot that is a productive member of society. Oh yeah, they can quit anytime they want - they just never want to quit.

Woody Harrelson? Now that's a great thinker. Are you kidding?
Here I bet I am going to shock you. I don't care what anyone wants to put in their body as long as it doesn't affect me as well as society as a whole. By that I mean I don't want to have to pay higher property taxes because we need more police to keep the thugs in line. I don't want to have to pay more insurance fees to cover the junkies ODing in the local emergency room. I don't want anyone working for me that has to use a substance to alter their reality because they can't cope (and that includes every feel-good pill pushed on TV, too.)

Well, now I have to presume you are Borg. And yes, I will resist whether is it futile or not.
