Mainly lack of motivation and lack of initiative.  Some users are exposed to harder drugs and to hard drug users and gravitate into this lifestyle.  Not everyone of course but it is a danger.\n\nI'm 46 years old and I've seen some very smart and decent people go absolutely nowhere in life because of excessive pot use.  They're still in the same little town with a couple of divorces and a dead end job.  I never saw it help anyone to advance in life, be it relationships, education or jobs.

I think not.  The effect is totally different.  I have never met a pothead who would rob somebody for a fix, or turn a trick for a joint...........Crackheads are quite different, as well as methfreaks.....They need serious help.........

Well, I'll give you my whole story, if you care to listen. As a child, I never had any friends really, my home life was perfect but I was never really happy. At age 14, I realized that I was different from most kids, at the same time feeling the need to be accepted. There were several times when I was babysitting where my curiosity got the best of me and I brought home with me some controlled substances from the house I was keeping. Usually, it was simply a water bottle with some liquor I had taken, and once I actually found a massive pile of cannabis buds in a basement (I had been investigation and leaking sound). After several sessions of experimentation with Alcohol and Marijuana, I knew that I loved to get f*cked up. I still had no friends at this point, and therefore had no method of obtaining street drugs. I was a crafty kid though, and quickly taught myself how to extract codeine from over-the-counter pills, and learned that dextromethorophan cough syrup was a hallucinogenic-dissociative-anesthetic. At age 15, I began to meet people at my high school who were able to obtain tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana from illicit sources. \n\nAt this point, I was drinking occasionally on weekend, smoking cigarettes whenever I could get them (several daily to almost a pack each day, depending on availabilty) and smoking pot several times a day. I would usually smoke a joint before school began, in the woods right beside my high school, smoke at joint at lunch, and skip a class or two (or three, or four) and smoke a joint then, too. \n\nThen came methyphenidate hydrochloride, better known as Ritalin. A good friend of mine (also my pot dealer) had a large quantity in his house, so I often helped myself. Getting spun was a whole new level of getting wrecked. I did this on and off for about two years, while at the same time also induging in marijuana and alcohol at an increasing frequency. \n\nBy 17, I was smoking pot every day, several times a day, drinking between 4 and 7 days a week (to excess I might add). I had tried ecstacy several times, tried methamphetamine, and tried several pain killers and sleeping pills. There was only one thing left... the white devil, cocaine. \n\nCocaine is what has affected me the most... I have a collapsed nostril for god sakes. A year and a half of sniffing coke several times a week, in addition to all the Ritalin, Percocet, Valium, etc. that was going up my nostils, was eventually enough for the right side of my nose to basically.... let go. It's been almost two months since these nostils have inhaled the devils danfruff, but that is only one goal achieved.\n\nI currently am and alcoholic, drinking 6-7 days a week; I smoke pot every night (can't sleep wth out it... or barbituates). I can deal with my junk fiends (for opiates: Percocet, Morphine, OxyContin, etc.) somewhat, but I still at this point use junk for a week or two out of every month. Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (also known as Ecstacy) is another love affair of mine, using 4 or 5 times a month. \n\nThe main reason that I begain this lifestyle was probably my depression and lack of self confidence - self esteem. My need for acceptance. It has, however, over time, developed into part of who I am. Who I feel I deserve to be. \n\nIn regards to your last question, what could prevented the addiction, I have one answer for you... nothing. To tell you the truth, if anyone had tried to stop my downward spiral, I probably would have done worse, just to spite them.\n\nIf you have any further questions, I would love to be of assistance in answering them, and I invite you (and anyone reading this) to contact me at  <<bradley1287-suffocate@yahoo.ca>> or ICQ#57096972.

Well Mathyu I wish you could grow your own legally. I would be growing my own legally too if I could. I just went to Jack Herer's website and will be spending some time later reading more of it. Previously I was unaware of cannabis' ability to turn back the hands of time for Alzheimer's patients. My mom died of complications from Alzheimer's Disease I wish I had known then that there was a way to help her to keep from losing parts of herself.\nI could certainly use the $ but I don't think from what I've read so far that I would want to prove Jack wrong.\nWe'll talk again I'm sure.\nLL

There is a huge difference.  Attitude and feelings are the main difference.  You can f  anyone but you can only truly make love to someone you really love and care about.

Well I dont care. I care about how they talk and act to other people. Characteristics dont matter! Their personality is what MATTERS!!!

Marijuana is not addicting but if you are useto smoking everyday and quit cold turkey there can be withdrawal symptoms (cold sweats, mood swings, headaches etc.). Your friend can live without it, he just enjoys it. Let him be, eventually it will stop.

The funny thing is that my fiance and I had this conversation not even a week ago. I said it was because he was more of an outcast not because he was a "nerd".. He wasn't smart enough to be in the "nerd" category he was more of a stoner than anything.

I will tell you this. I do not believe that marijuana is as bad as "they" say it is but, when I smoked it took away my ambitions in life.  I wanted to have a degree in Paramedic medicine but I chose to smoke.  Do I love the feeling,yes.  Do I regret starting, not really but there wil always be someone to complain no matter what the topic is.  It is in their nature.  The common feeling is the feeling you want to sleep and you eat everything in sight.  If you decide to try it then I suggest you make a very serious decision as to what you will do with the rest of your life, because I know there are celebs that smoke but with money comes power and leniency.  As for us common folk we dont get the same breaks and we are the ones that face the consequences for what they can buy their way out of.  I still smoke by the way and I would do that before I would ever take a drink of booze.

One of the best guys I know used to be a huge stoner and is still known to light one up from time to time but the the guy is one hell of a father and he would never run out on his kids. Every one is different you could have a normal non-smoking nice guy run out on his kids and kill a hooker. You could have a stoner go nutts and kill everyone. I don't agree with what a lot of you people have said you pass judgment when you don't ever know the people. It's the person not the drugs they do or the wrong they have done in the past. Everyone has a few problems or bad habits so none of you can say that the guy would be bad with his kids because of a bad habit. If he is a good guy then he will be a good dad.

That's a very good question, and a good point. I don't smoke or drink or do any drugs, and I don't understand the appeal of those things.

The effects of both alcohol and Marijuana are so strikingly similar, that I'm shocked the government hasn't legalized it yet. It's not physically addictive either, as opposed to the other illegal drugs.

Because alcohol contains only alcohol. The effects upon the brain are well known and documented. Marijuana, on the other hand, has hundreds of chemicals, each possibly interacting with the other(s) in ways not yet researched. For instance, a well-known drug test involves snipping off a bit of your hair. if you smoked pot even six months ago, traces of it remain detectible as part of the hair itself, vs. the kidneys elimination if all traces of alcohol from the body within 48 hours. Also, it is suspected that pot may alter the body's DNA, so long-term chronic effects are still unknown.

Okay, lets concentrate on the effects of Pot, whether you like it or not, i.e. it makes you:\n1)Hungry\n2)Tired\n3)unable to concentrate\n4)lazy\n)Stupid ( After long term use)\n\nNow, create two characters show them as kids and later after traveling two separate paths and meeting again.\nOne would be successful and the other lives in his Moms basement. You know which one smokes Pot.\n-kevin82abn
