100% agree with this tbh, yeh it might feel good at the beginning, but it seems your always trying to chase the feeling you got when you first started smoking it. It also costs a bomb and stinks, oh and i herd 1 joint is like 20 x worse than a cig
have you ever smoked it? and how is a j 20x worse than a cig. in what respect?

Used to smoke loads of the stuff, still partial to a joint. It is the same for me too, imagination runs wild and can get really creative 
Used to be a weirdo at school who started smoking when he left, he turned into a recluse though and still barely leaves the house. Think it depends on how 'stable' you are to begin with on how it affects you.

I used to smoke loads, but gave up a good few years ago, because it was messing up my head, it's expensive and I don't like dealing with dealers.
My mate a work smokes it all the time, and is always moaning because he hasn't got any money, and his chav of a girlfriend is too lazy to work.
Then he gets jealous because I can spend money on my car, and have days out.
But if your spending about a tenner a day + fags it works out a lot of money.

I smoke almost daily as im a trader and hold a very stressful job, i find it very relaxing after a hard day. I wouldnt reccomend it to anyone and wouldnt ever encourage anyone to smoke it but in moderation and if your someone who keeps there brains active it will not have any major effect - well it hasnt on me anyway  but i truely believe im a responsible adult and know my body - i dont smoke to impress my mates or fit in, i dont drink so i guess i can say its my 'beer' if u like

Had it twice, once in january and again in about march. I really liked it, me and the lads get stupidly pissed every weekend so we thought we would try it for a change
bout £20s worth, and did it in the house in a nice safe environment
I liked it, propper chilled me out. made jackass 3 10x more funny than it already is and made me eat a full 12 pack of crisps.
hardly any hangover and a good nights kip.
bit harsh on the throat though although I believe we mixed it quite strong. either way Ive never been cut out as a smoker
in summary, might get some at the weekend

If every person with a stressful job smoked weed we would all live in mud huts, have long hair and wear fluorescent t shirts. Worst excuse ever.
Go to the gym, have a wank, look at stars through a telescope don't smoke drugs that fuck with your head.

Its never interested me, pretty much all my mates from school now do it. seriously clever lads some of them, like getting 100% on maths exams etc. they now struggle to string a sentence together!
most have moved on to harder stuff now, personally think they are pathetic trying to be cool around mates etc. wankers

Ever considered you might not get as stressed with your job if it wasn't for weed?

I smoke regularly. Iv found a good balance of smoking to relax me but not so it affects my job/mind to much.
It would be nice to smoke it all day like some people do but it would probely drive me insane and make my job impossible (I run a number of databases / systems for a bank and spend all day doing calculations / maths etc)

You need to respect it though as it's such a strong drug now. All my circle of friends spoke it and we all have decent jobs, own our own houses, decent cars etc however I no of so many people with no motivation in life and weed has just ruined their life

Agree with this, I started when I was about 16 and was on it all the time to the age of about 25 (nearly 30 now).
Used to spend my nights sat in car parks getting wasted, then go home and get some more wasted then get up and go to work, never socialised with anyone who didn't smoke it and thought I was the enlightened one
If I had my time again I wouldn't bother with it, have a few beers at the weekend and leave it at that, getting pie eyed 7 days a week for years has done me no favours what so ever.
That said there are some funny tales in this thread, anyone who has been massively effected by it must of had an underlying condition to start with.

Got a mate who smokes loads of it. He never looks with it and is a total recluse these days. Not my idea of fun.

Im a daily smoker and this is spot on. It just becomes normality, i never smoke in the day only at night but i feel the same it has ruined me in many ways. No one apart from a couple of close friends know i even smoke it and no one knows how much i actually do. When you become dependant on somthing you become naturally very good at hiding it from people. I have a good job and great prospects but without weed who knows maybe id be ahead of where i am now. It nearly cost me my job too, i was put up in a very posh hotel for work during some training. Decided it would be a good idea to take some weed, cut a long story short ended up leaving a spliff in the room pre rolled, remembered it just after checking out and managed to grab it as the hotel staff were going in. So weed nearly cost me my job! Ironic too that my memory is now shit because of smoking too much weed, people dont call it dope for nothing.

i used to smoke regularly but grew out of it. one of my mates was particularly bad and spent about 3 years sat in his room constantly smoking and dealing it, long story short he got his act together got into his politics and is now a councillor at 24. i don't have any problem with it although i don't smoke it myself anymore. it should be legalised.
alcohol is far more dangerous. i've never heard of a bunch of stoned people kick someone to death or smash things and get into fights. i stick to my e's now, done completely in moderation, bought from someone who i trust and always have a good time, no trouble.

This reminds me, on the subject of jobs...
Went for a job back in my smoking days, got offered the position, great salary, prospects etc.

Have smoke quite a bit in the past but never been addicted if you can be addicted.
My theory is in moderation it won't cause problems but if you sit round all day every day or even every night it wont be good for you, In the same way drinking every day or night isnt good for you.

Sounds like me and my mates when I was in uni, used to smoke an eighth a day, we used to climb the walls without it. Used to make for great banter, expensive trips to the shop for pure crap and many a closely contested game of mario kart 64.
Used to go camping and take beers and plenty of green, amongst trips to Amsterdam and Rotterdam when back in the summer from uni. Come to think of it my life and my mates used to revolve around smoking.
Havent touched it for over 6 months now, dont even smoke cigarettes anymore, I do miss it but can see the dangers of smoking a lot of it.
I had periods when smoking it where I couldnt get my words out even though I knew what I wanted to say, terrible memory and that horrible tight feeling in your chest when you have smoked around 10-15 Joints in a session.
