Cannabis/Marijuana

[Lutiferre]

Perhaps a parallel to the "how much do you drink every week"-thread..
I'll admit that I smoked joints quite often in my younger days. So thats a start, perhaps?

[Delbáeth]

I smoked a few joints in my school days. Never touch it again, advise people to do the same.

[Ariets]

I had very few occasions, but I never said yes.

[Vincent]

I tried it some times, but no real impressions. Might try it another time if I stumble on it. I would not say I'm pro-cannabis smoking, or contra. Just indifferent. Use it but don't abuse it

[Lutiferre]

I would encourage/disencourage its usage on a similar basis to alcohol. I think its hard to go through youth avoiding to come across some drugs, and a little weed and alcohol doesn't kill you.

I voted never, but that's not quite true. Only two times, and I didn't enjoy the effects. If it is supposed to relax you, it had the right opposite effect on me. And it also caused me hypersensibility.

Maybe you should just try a pure indica strain
I have a sleep disorder, so I used to either drink a beer or take small oral dosages of Cannabis Indica to relax me, to get up in school. Never failed me. The most common Cannabis Sativa strains are quite more energetic, whereas Indica will give you more couchlock, munchies, etc, due to the higher CBD levels.

When I was young I used it.

But I have no regrets. Back in those days it was fun, my friends and I enjoyed it and no harm was done. Now I have responsibilities etc, it isn't appropriate anymore.

It is a part of my past that made me who I am today, but very much in my past.

No regrets.

Two interesting discussions on irish-nationalism.net on this topic:

Children trafficked from Asia to UK to work in cannabis factories - Irish Nationalism

Hasheesh and Hasheesh Eaters - Irish Nationalism

Well, no. Surely not that kind of 'hypersensibility' that you are thinking.

Well, no. Thank you. I think that I'll stick to vermouth and wine, and then to rum and whiskey if I need something stronger.

[Lutiferre]

Wow, I am surprised to see we have a few real stoners even here at Stirpes =)

[Sergius]

Waste of time and money.

A few years ago, I quit smoking altogether. Quitting cannabis was no big deal but quitting tobacco was very hard.
I used to smoke grass a few times a week.

Not just. There are psychological side effects derived from cannabis consumption, which are not perceived at a young age but they start to show at an older age.

[Delbáeth]

I dislike how certain Europeans attempt to compare Alcohol to Cannabis.

As there are with all drugs. Almost no psychoactive compound doesnt have one or the other permanent effect whether it be neurologically or mentally, or both. If such a compound exists, it only exists to the extent that we dont know its effects fully.
