So i recently became a pot head.. ?

Question

and my friends have been treating me different, theyre all "disapointed" in me. but i honestly dont see whats so bad about weed, so can someone fill me in on that part please?

Answer 1

First and foremost, it is illegal. When you smoke pot you become very passive, thus, you will never get anything done. You will always fail drug testing, so you will never get a significant job. It is expensive and very risky to buy. When you have kids, they can smell it and know what it is. Explain that to them!  After smoking for a long period of time, you start to think that everyone does it, and you become careless and get caught. No matter what anyone tells you or what you believe it is a gateway drug. You will become immune to your stash and look for a better high. You may buy that one last ounce and find out that it was tainted with something that makes your throat hurt for six months and then find out that you have cancer. They then cut out your voice box and you are speaking through a vibrator for the rest of your life, the same voice box that you made fun of like that guy Ned on Southpark.

Answer 2

First of all, it can lead to other drugs.

Second, you'll never hold a job down, most places of employment do drug testing now.

Third, you look like an idiot when high

Fourth, it kills your lungs and brain cells (burn out)

Fifth...........need I saY MORE????

Answer 3

yeah if you do it all the time you will become more dopey than usual and stuff. not good for you, but hey i dont think its that bad, not as bad as doing pills and stuff

Answer 4

i hope you're at least college age

who are you smoking w? obviously not your tru friends.

p.s. Cheech & Chong are making a new movie I think

you'd have to be bombed to enjoy those oldie moldies

it's your choice,just remember the pot today is not the pot of

yesterday(they spray w paraquay and all kinds stuff)

Answer 5

are you kidding? first of all, its ILLEGAL. plus, its really bad for your health.

Heavy or daily use of marijuana affects the parts of the brain that control memory, attention, and learning. A working short-term memory is needed to learn and perform tasks that call for more than one or two steps.

there's a link below about weed.

Answer 6

we are all made of vibrations and when we are sad we vibrate very slowly and when we are happy we vibrate very quickly

you are happy on weed (that is what it does) so you vibrate quicker and so your friends are not on your wavelength now!!

so that teaches you that perhaps your friends are not really that happy for if they were they would still be your friends whatever you did!!

it is for 'you' to be happy in this life

if weed makes you happy it is for you to question what are you not happy about when you do not take weed....

fight the unhappiness without weed instead of running from the unhappiness by using weed

weed shows you that you 'can' be happy

but it makes you think that you can only be happy on weed...

this is not true

weed is the key

but when you have opened the door - throw the bleeding key away!!

you are special and needed

question your unhappiness NOW

and most of it lies in your past!

blessings to you my Friend

Answer 7

maybe their treating you differently because they feel that you are not the person u used to be b4 you starting taking pot. Everyone knows that pot is reallly bad 4 you and for you to start smoking pot made them disapointed. i honestly think you should stop taking pot before everyone turns against you. before you know it your whole life can just be different one morning when you wake up. point is they want the old you back.... the one who isnt smoking pot. good luck!!

Answer 8

pot smokers are seen as degenerate low lifes.

i speak from experience.

however pot heads are throughout every demographic and social circle.

so that generalization has never made much sense to me.

for example:

i smoke weed on occasion, it helps me relax after a stressful week, i work as a logistics manger, i pay tax ,give to charities, have an IQ of 178 and do everything that makes me happy in life and yes i sometimes roll a dooby.

so who am i hurting?

people who jump on the anti~pot bandwagon are just doing and saying whatever has been dictated to them.They have no real world experience on the issue and thus rightly need to shut up :)

Answer 9

Were you high when you wrote this question?

Hmmmm lets think..... maybe they were mad at you because weed is ILLEGAL

Or maybe they're mad at you because you're frying your brain.

I hope they report you to the police, or you get some help.

Answer 10

uhhhhhh, I've been smoking it for 41 years,,, I'm still pretty smart.  All depends on if you 'use' or 'abuse'.  It can get bad.  I've also been a heroin addict.  But 99% a pothead.  And I live in Cal so it's legal!!!  Medical!!  Do what is best for you,, you'll figure it out.  Good luck

Answer 11

lol pass the blunt

what your smoke Kush Cronic mids

i hate how kide these days start with the good stuff they dont know what its like to pick out the seeds

dont worry about it if your in highschool people will just hate ir your in the work force more people do it than you know about 25% smoke it up for what ever reason

but over all people will forget

just dont let it be an excuse like "oh i was to high or i cant cause im so high " you make us look bad by doing that

also most people in Europe dont even care but in Mexico cocaine is expected and weed is the devil which make not sence

also dont let it lead you to other drugs cause than  your realy are a drugy

Answer 12

It kills your brain Cells

and you become "slow" as some may call it.

Also , drugs aren't cool

they make people look dumb.

but that's my opinion

If you still want to do it then NO ONE can tell you what to do

cause it's your life and your decision

Good Luck!

Answer 13

Weed isn't as bad as people think, actually.  It helps prevent alzheimers, so that's always nice.  Regardless, how people act when they're high can sometimes be ridiculous and most people end up being a vegetable.  Generally it makes someone act a little dim-witted while they are "stoned."  At least, most people.  I know I always acted different around my boyfriends when they were stoned just because despite the fact pot isn't THAT bad. . .  It's a mental thing.  If you were to get caught or something of the sort, you could go to jail and there's just too many consequences.  They're acting different because they care about you.  Besdies, everyone acts different than their normal selves.  Hang out with someone who you like un-stoned (that already gets stoned) and be around them when they're stoned and you're not.  How they're acting is quite. . .  Disappointing, isn't it?

If I come off ridiculing, I don't mean to.  I hope this helps.

Answer 14

I don't care what you do.

However, what you are doing is self medicating, but in an illegal way.

Maybe they feel like you are better than needing to do that to yourself all the time.

Answer 15

The drug itself isnt really a big deal.  As you can see from all the people here saying you could die, people are very poorly informed about it and I think thats how the establishment likes it.   People just make a big deal of it because its been drilled into their heads over and over that its bad.  Its actually never killed anyone of OD, although its not good for your lungs.  If you are going to smoke you have to accept that a lot of people arent going to be ok with it.  Its ok in 20 years when its legal in 20 or more states youll just be the person at the front of the pack.

Answer 16

Nothing to be proud of you took a step backward thats all, eventually, your firends will be on the top floor and you in the basement.

Answer 17

Um ok...cause they like YOU...and as a downer pot tends to change how a person behaves...so yeah they like YOU not stoned YOU

PLUS

- bad short time memory and lowered learning abilities.

Example: difficulty to stay on topic, because of forgetting what was the subject and what was said a moment ago.

Comment: Some potheads like me say it is a part of fun. Sure it is when You are among friends in a safe place. But not when You have to talk to Your mother or the policeman.

- difficulty thinking and problem solving.

Example: Don't use pot before the exam or driving lesson. These tasks need quick thinking and You are likely to fail or even put Yourself in danger. Remember to take it easy after using pot. No duties, no difficulties. Plan a enjoyable experience for Yourself.

- poor performance, loss of coordination and risk of injury.

Example: This is serious ! Don't sharpen knifes, Don't go climbing ! Go walking, looking, smelling, touching :-)

- inability to drive safely or do complex tasks for up to 24 hours after use.

Example: Self explanatory. Daydreaming behind the wheel can be dangerous not only to Yourself, but everybody with You.

- distorted senses of sight, hearing, touch, time, and depth.

Example: Just keep in mind not to trust Your senses in 100%. Not sure You can cross the street ? Check again !

- reduced athletic ability.

Example: Don't go wood choping or running. Work in the garden if You like ...

- elevated heart rate.

Example: If You find Your heart pounding too strong just relax.

- anxiety, panic attacks.

Example: Not likely, but just in case, or if You are nervous person, or just got scared, use Your pot in a safe place with relaxed helpfull people to help You calm down. And most of all for all of You panickers, if You happen to smoke too much, and start feeling bad in any way, remember to lay down or sit down and relax and I assure You will feel better in a few hours.

Heres a link you undoubtedly could have googled yourself, but it is rather clear that this is an attention thing.

you need to work on liking yourself and not doing drugs to feel better

Answer 18

Pot is for losers, just like all drugs. It is for weak people who cant cope with life. Sobriety is for the strong and strong people have no respect for the weak.  

Answer 19

You let them down buy doing something illegal and harmful to yourself.

In my opinion, if you don't give a sh*t about yourself, why should they?

They're obviously very good friends, and you had a good taste in people until you turned to drugs.

Answer 20

Pot is bad.  Its makes you do things that you wouldn't do and it makes you carefree/goofy/ out of it but all the time.  Your friends are probably dissapointed in you because you've done something stupid and well dissapointing.  Get off the c**p does it make you happy?  Is it worth s******g you up and making you lose your friends.. Because that is what happens.  You may not realize it but you're probably acting a lot stupider and out of it and your friends are probably don't like that.  And that is what is bad about weed!

Answer 21

umm...depending on how much you smoke....it makes you dah!! Hard to talk to...cuz your spaced out all the time!! thats my experience with pot heads anyways!! But I dont judge them!! If your friends don't smoke it, then why would you want to......

Answer 22

I was a pot-head during my teen years. Smoking weed made me not want to go to school, or work.  It made me sleepy, lazy, hungry, and paranoid.

It caused my family distress , because it IS illegal.  My roommate is a pot-head, as is my brother. Both of them tell me stories over and over, and don't realize they've already told me.  

Plus, one joint is equal to about ten cigarettes in the 'bad-for-your-lungs' department.

Answer 23

woah you gotta stop sweetie; like now ! before it gets worst; it f*cks up your brain ; im guessin your acting differently with them thats why thay changed with you ; without you even realizin; your friends are dissapointed cause they actually care about you soOo pleasee stOp ; drugs are  g*y n stupid !!!! stoPP itt please

Answer 24

Well, it is no worse than someone smoking cigarettes or drinking beer, so do what you do.  The bad part is if you get caught with it and go to jail or pay fines.  Alot of companies are making employees submit to hair follicle testing which goes back 90 days, so it could keep you from getting the job you want but for real, I think it should be legal as long as beer is, right?

Answer 25

First of all drugs are horrible things that can destroy your mind and body.  You need to carefully consider the possibility that you can die from taking drugs.  Marijuana makes it hard to keep track of time and concentrate. People who use it have difficulty with memory and find it hard to solve problems and learn.  Marijuana raises your heart rate and blood pressure. Some people get red eyes or dry mouths or become sleepy or very hungry. The drug can also make some people paranoid (feeling like someone is out to hurt them or is plotting against them). It can also sometimes cause hallucinations.  Marijuana is as tough on your lungs as cigarettes - steady users suffer coughs, wheezing, frequent colds, and respiratory (airway and lung) infections, like bronchitis.  Sometimes blunts are filled with drugs like PCP (also called angel dust) or crack cocaine in addition to marijuana and can be very dangerous when smoked.  Also you need to remember that Marijuana is an illegal drug that you can get arrested for.  It's expensive and you will waste money on it.  If you are addicted you need to talk to a professional or your parents so they can get you off of it.  Marijuana is dangerous, please stop.

Answer 26

They just don't understand it. You can't insult something you haven't tried. So if anyone on here is telling you the negative traits to it, don't listen to that. They probably haven't even tried it once, yet insult it like it personally has affected them in someway. A lot of the media makes it out to be horrible, but its really not. If you do it, fine. Its your life. Whenever I go out and hang out with friends, I'll drink and smoke while I drink. People that smoke cigarettes are endangering us in more ways than smoking in the privacy of your own home. Their putting this second hand cigarette smoke into our atomsphere but think weed is doing more harm. Your friends will view you differently if they do not smoke. Its going to be hard to be the only friend who smokes..maybe you need to find different friends, or just accept them the way they are and accept the judgment on their behalf. I believe its more ignorant to judge someone based on something like that. People are still successful who have and still smoke weed. Doctors, lawyers, comedians, talk show hosts, music artists..its not like weed is heroin or cocaine..My friend worked for a brilliant lawyer who would smoke all of the time. There are no cases of marijuana related deaths. You cannot OD on marijuana. Do what you feel is right, and never change unless you decide on it. Hope this helps!

PS- Music and good movies are awesome while stoned :)

Answer 27

Sometimes people go through a rough time in there life's. If your turning to weed try doing something more positive. If your happy and your doing weed just for fun then maybe you should once again think more positive. Weed is a hard thing to give up. Your friends are angry only because they care. They know your better then this. Trust me. Weed isn't the answer to any of your problems. It only makes them worse in the end. My advice. Don't do drugs not just because there bad but because you need to think whats best for YOU

Answer 28

Pot does not kill brain cells, alcohol kills them, but it does paralyze them which is about the same thing. It is mentally addictive and one fact which can be proven is it takes away initiative. I never did it, when I saw my friends who did they were just sitting and staring into space and I thought, yeah, what fun, whatever.

The big deal with starting pot is that you get into the mindset that, well pot is ok, I'm fine and it isn't giving me a buzz anymore, I will try something else. Then it leads to other drugs. My sister started out w/ pot and she moved onto meth and was living in a truck for a year and had to give up her son.  

Answer 29

it relaxes ppl...and i know its illegal other than that....

everyone around will defintely look down upon u, and treat u like S***

just try asking them wat's so bad about weed in person...you'll get a staright answer.

Answer 30

there isnt much wrong with being a pothead, except if your friends aren't potheads, chances are you will grow a part (stoners arent very proactive and like to sit around, where as the average person always likes to be on the go). but it really depends on what you consider to be a pothead, personally I consider it at least 2-3 times a day (or you spend at least 5 bucks daily on weed). but id say society thinks that even daily, or every weekly use would make you a pothead.

Answer 31

well because now you might get them in trouble with the cops, you might get stoned and get into a car crash with them in the car , you will grow up and ull still be smoking and never have a good job , you will always live in your parents basement or mooch off your friends because the only job you will be able to hold will be at papa johns or wendy's. and these are just of few of the reasons they should be disappointed, do u need any more?
