Hi ! Well, the answer is definitely NO... it doesnt make you have more friends.. some people might try to get near you or try to get your attention if you smoke weed because they might wanna do the same.. you might think that they're trying to be your friends but think again... are they really there to be your REAL friends? or are they there just to take ADVANTAGE of you? Think about your health as well... if your health is that jacked up due to smoking weed, do you think REAL people , REAL friends would still want to get near you? so .... Think again...

Yes, the short term effects are:\nproblems with memory and learning\ndistorted perception \ntrouble with thinking and problemsolving \nloss of motor coordination\nincreased heart rate\nAnd, the users always think it has NO effects.  Yeah, right...denial at it's best.\n\nWould I want someone who is under the influence of weed to:\nfix my car\nbe my doctor\nbe my nurse\ntake care of my pets\ntake care of my kids\nbe behind me in a car\nor do anything that will impact my life or the lives of my loved ones? \n\nAbsolutely not!  They may not value my life or that of my loved ones but I do.

The only people that think drugs are the in thing to do are the ones taking drugs!  Take drugs long enough and it will ruin your life.  I think you did the right thing by quitting weed; now hang out with people that think the same way you do.  Drugs are dumb & dangerous, life is complicated enough without adding a drug habit to it.  Good Luck, there are normal people everywhere that have fun without drugs.

Next time your friends attempt to pressure you into smoking pot...tell them NO SCHWAG!  Only smoke the crystal coated kind buds.....you'll have a different outlook then.\n\nJUST KIDDING! SAY NO TO DRUGS!

No really you shouldn't. Smoking is extremely bad for your health and so many people die from lung cancer and emphazemia each year. Peer pressure is tough to deal with. If these are your friends, then you should consider whether or not they really are your friends. Why would they pressure you into something you don't want to do? But of course, if you want to, it is your choice. Listen to your conscience and don't let others make a fool of you. In other words: Be your own person. Oh and to tell off those people if they give you a hard time, show them pictures of what lungs look like when they are affected with lung cancer. Hope I helped!

Happy 420!  I use marijuana for treating depression. It also helps with anger management. I have had success in using it as a pain reliever.

Well like most people i have used it in the past  as well as booze.Those days are over.But when i was under the influence of pot, i was mild mannered, relaxed, and could get along with anyone.With booze, well, sometimes i'd be nice, sometimes mean, sometimes goofy and sometimes all of the above! Most others would tell  you the same thing\nI have never understood how one can be legal and the other illegal, espeicaly when alcohol is the legal one out of the two and it cause's a person to do far more crazier things than what pot does.In the words of Jesse Ventura, "Give a man a joint and a Jimi Hendrix tape and he will go to a corner and leave you alone,.How many drunks leave people alone?"

weed in general is not heavy on hallucinations, I have only hallucinated a handful of times and i have smoked since 15 I'm 33 and just quit . when you first smoke it you experience euphoria , strange thoughts or ideas that can sometimes throw you into states of uncontrollable laughter . things that you other wise would not find amusing amuse you . after awhile your eyelids begin to feel heavy because the marijuana has decreased the pressure in within your eyes, and this is no joke, your eyeballs have decreased in size a little, this is why people who are high look squinty eyed and tired , this effect is also why pot is good for glaucoma a condition where there is too much pressure , a pot high can last anywhere from 2-4 hours average depending on potency personally myself i think the "high" last less because the other part of the high your really not high but feel lazy and groggy and end up eating bunches of food and then falling a sleep. since i have quit i am i can also validate the fact that marijuana affect motivation and energy levels as since i have quit those have increased .

No.\n\nPeople and problems can make you vulnerable to using drugs. \n\nUse prevention to avoid falling into the vicous circle of drugs. \n\nSuch as, don't hang with these kinds of people, get a healthy support group, like healthy friends to be around in time of trouble and stuff like that.

I would say yes, but only if the person is willing to try to "speak up more."  If the person is shy, but wants to be more friendly, if they try, they will certainly make a lot of friends living in the dorms.  That certainly happened to me.  One of my best friends is my freshman-year dorm roommate (and I just graduated this year).  We were both so shy that we didn't talk to each other at all, just polite "hello" and "goodbye" for the first week-- then eventually we got over it and started talking more, and became really good friends.  So, in my case it really helped me.\n\nHowever, there are also people who are very antisocial and are thrown into that sort of situation and revert even more to their shyness.  This is why I say that the person being put into this situation should probably WANT to make new friends, so that they eventually put the effort into that and try, instead of just closing themselves off even more.\n\nAll in all, it's the sort of experience that you don't really get many other times in life, and is certainly worth going through for experience sake.  It's a chance to sort of recreate how other people know you-- you don't have the same people around you who have known you your entire life (like you do in high school).  That makes a lot of people more comfortable, because you get to sort of start a new leaf... and you don't have to be afraid what such-and-such person will think.  This in turn makes people more likely to "speak up," in my experience.\n\nHopefully that made sense.

If you smoke the same amount, probably weed will be worse for you. It has no filters, unless you use a bong or something and since it gets you high, it increases your chance of getting involved in an accident.\n \nBut of course most ppl will smoke far more ciggarettes than joints over an extended period of time, so you rarely hear of ppl getting cancer or other deseases due to weed. And cigarrets are cheaper.

One of the big things I have noticed is that I have stayed in better contact with friends. First is was with e-mail that made it easier to keep up with friends on my own time instead of having to pick up a phone.\n\nThen came things like Myspace that have connected me with old friends and allowed me to communicate pictures and stories of my daily life and they can communicate to me and the rest of their friends the same way. \n\nComputers have allowed me to keep a much broader base of friends. My friends are all around the country but they all feel just next door because of computers.
