I completely understand Andi.
However if you wanted you can do all that without using substances..but it would take a lot of effort and time..

It's good to see that most people here aren't too biased with regards of cannabis. It's hard to get any correct information as lots of it is part of the propaganda machine.
Here's a quote from a website stating scientific facts about cannabis (scientificfactsofpot.com) - "In the stoner stereotype, pot smokers and dying brain cells go hand in hand. However, new research suggests the situation may be more uplifting than that. A drug that functions as concentrated marijuana does spur neurogenesis, the process by which the brain gives birth to new nerve cells. This very process is also responsible for aleviating anxiety and depression." "The current debate over medical marijuana hinges on its use as pain medication. But an extract of the plant could one day form the basis of cancer treatments. New findings indicate that Cannabis extracts can shrink brain tumors by blocking the growth of blood vessels that nourish them" "Although we prefer to vaporize marijuana to get a cleaner hit as well as for the conservation of pot, some people enjoy smoking it out of pipes or rolling joints. The smoke from burning marijuana leaves contains several known carcinogens and the tar it creates contains 50 percent more of some of the chemicals linked to lung cancer than tobacco smoke. A marijuana cigarette also deposits four times as much of that tar as an equivalent tobacco one. Scientists were therefore surprised to learn that a study of more than 2,000 people found no increase in the risk of developing lung cancer for marijuana smokers." All these statements link to websites of reputable status, so they are not blindly making comments. Hope everyone doesn't mind all the quotes above!

As far as I stand, I have never smoked it and never will. I just don't feel the need personally. However, I do not have a problem with other people smoking it, even when i'm in the room (as has happened on a few occasions).
I think the main problem is, as many have said, it used to be a reserved and spiritual experience, however as more people begin to use it recreationally, it completely loses that sense of spirituality that it once had. It now only becomes a tool to forget your problems, it becomes an easy way out for a short amount of time instead of being for connecting to your inner soul. It seems to have lost it's importance and significance and as such is seen as a dirty habit instead of an 'experience'. I really don't believe it does you any good, just like smoking or drinking heavily don't either, but if someone wants to do damage to themselves, they can be my guest.  (I'm no saint myself, i'm just saying I really don't mind what other people do (To an extent))

I have a vaporizer but don't use it that often. It's hard to tell how much your taking in as you just need the tiniest amount. Also, because it's so easy to breathe the vapour, you don't realise how much you have inhaled and you get uber stoned. Suppose I need more practice with it...
I also have bought some mixing herb minus the tobacco/nicotine when I do have a joint instead of the vapouriser which is pretty sweet.

Some more interesting quotes supporting legalisation of cannabis (from Sky News Website)
The Beckley Foundation's Global Cannabis Commission document said the cannabis ban had backfired and called for a "serious rethink" of drugs policy. The ban has had little or no impact on supply and has turned users into criminals, it said. "Although cannabis can have a negative impact on health, including mental health, in terms of relative harms, it is considerably less harmful than alcohol or tobacco," the report claimed.

i've only ever had a few puffs but the last time i did i was walking to a set of stairs and everything turned green for about 5 seconds and i could feel myself falling towards the ground, but before i did everything returned to normal. I still havn't got the full expirience of it yet and i'm not eager. But if someone happens to have some then i wouldn't mind taking another hit.
As for medical uses it seems to cure alot of muscle pains and i've also talked to people back in highschool who regularly smoked it. they said it's not addictive like cigarettes. oh well, if you enjoy it then smoke it. if not then don't smoke it

ehh, thanks for the pictures
 and it's true weed can get a bit tricky sometimes, when I was smoking skunk for the first time, it was wild  at first we didn't feel how strong it was so we had this massive joint all beginning to laugh like "hahaha man, what you're lookin at... no what you're lookin at..."  5 minutes later I felt like I couldn't change direction when walking and had the most insane "framerate drop", I was literally seeing everything in still pictures ranging in 1-2 per second. 10 minutes later I felt like everything I see is a dream, it was like flying through reality. It was the biggest blast I ever had from smoking pot lol. Anyway if you're gonna smoke pot, make sure you already ate something that day.

Has anyone had closed eyed visuals when smoking weed? I have and it is mental, just so many thoughts and pictures flashing in front of your closed eyes. One of the best things I have experienced was SEEING SOUND. I was laid in my room listening to a band called Astra (great when stoned) with the lights off on my own with candles lit and I closed my eyes and actually SAW the music. It was like watching an EQ and every note was symbolised in a colourful movement. Pretty monumental stuff

The first time I tried Salvia (perfectly legal) I saw pink elephants about 1 meter tall in rows under circus tents in the room I was in. All this lasted about 10 minutes. I actually would do Salvia again as it has very mythical properties, like having a vision quest. Everyone else who tried it just sat still, and kept saying "help me" ...maybe it's only a good experience if your a certain kind of person.

I can't say from experience, never smoked, drank, nothing. But my sister was a big party person in high school. She got a little out of control. Drinking led to smoking, smoking led to pills, these drugs led to stealing money. Luckily she only stole from my dad from what I know. She stole thousands to pay for her drugs, she became disconnected from the family, only coming home to get money and sleep.
She had a wreck while high and nearly ended up paralyzed. Broke her neck in three places, tore up her face pretty bad. Before that she missed half of her senior year because she was "sick". All of her smoking ruined her voice. Oh my god, she was a beautiful singer, most pure voice I ever heard. I have a CD around here somewhere of her singing. But now she has a rasp, she still sings good but not as she did. My friend got 2nd degree burns because he was so wasted when he fell into a fire he didn't know to get out. Me other friends dad has been in and out of jail for a few years with Meth, I'm not saying meth is related to this discussion, but sometimes one drug is in the same place as another and it gets tried and it ruins another life. Meth is bad stuff people. Stay away from it. From what I have seen come from drugs are not good. Of course I have never experienced there positives, but from what I can tell a person should think of how it not only affects you but your family, your friends. What are you willing to sacrifice to get your next buzz. Sorry if I offended anyone but I just have seen to much pain be caused by these drugs.
