    Hello Everyone,

    I'm new here and I'm new to smoking weed aswell. I've been to Amsterdam twice in this year and I've enjoyed some of the best weed in the world (or so I was told).
    Once there I smoked White Widow, Skunk and some kind of hash called Caramella.
    I've enjoyed the experience and felt like I was in heaven. All my senses were superhyped and I had the time of my life. I had absolutely no hangover and life went on as usually in the next days.

    Well now that is over and I've returned home and I've tried to explain to my cousin (who studies psycology) that weed is a good thing and that I liked it a lot.
    She was very shocked and told me that she worked in the psyco-patology part of the hospital and treated some schizofrenia patients where 90% of them had smoked weed at least once recently.
    She doesn't like the effect on people because she believes it's like toxic and that it will destroy me as I am if I continue smoking.
    The thing is I am trying to find some hash or weed here to smoke and I've finally found some but before I found it here I bought some "legal weed" some kind of incense sold in some "smartshop" that is legal because it's not tested on humans and is sold saying "not appropriate for human consumption". Now I believe that this is pure poison and that I sure prefer some home-grown marijanes and smoking the plant itself like I did in Amsterdam but how should I convince my cousin, my family, etc that weed is not that big of a deal, that it's effects are far better than alcohol and that a smoker would be doing worst to his body than me by smoking a few joints a month...

    I feel like I'm being automatically ostracized, criminalized, criticized for smoking a joint. I feel like it is much better than alcool or tabacco or any other legal or illegal drugs. I feel like they should try weed so they understand how I felt. I feel like weed brings up my spiritual and emotional side (something that I find very hard to do), I feel that my brain makes me think of unthinkable things while under the influence, it gives me freedom of mind, freedom of spirit and has almost no side effects.
    At the same time I've scared that I might get hooked up on weed... I've been searching night and day for some weed and ways to make my own growbox... My cousin says it's just curiosity and my mild OCD kicking in and that I'm trying to search for my independance through weed... but I am really into making my own grow....

    Sorry for the long text and,
    Thank you for your support!

    How hard is it to figure out? Show them studies conducted by universities and scientists which show that marijuana is not physically harmful.

    If you are living in your parents house, don't grow. If you are worried people are going to judge you for smoking a plant. Fuck them, don't tell them, don't deal with them, don't try to convince them unless they are someone who will actually listen to you and will understand it's really not that bad.

    Pretty much what you said in your third paragraph is what you should say to people if you get caught.

    Oh and watch the union, it will give you an idea of what to tell your parents and others.

    First off... Who said weed "Is not bad"?

    Second http://forum.grasscity.com/medical-marijuana/645925-grannys-mmj-list-july-2010-a.html <- READ IT!....All of it!

    Third, It's really hard to convince anit-marijuana people to go pro-marijuana. Not impossible but hard.

    Fourth, Show them the union which is full of Biased Pro-Marijauan facts. :p

    And finally, smoke weed and prove them wrong. Go to school, get educated, be successful. Don't go shooting people and blaming weed :)

    :smoking:

    Weed is not bad. It can be if you let it, but it is not bad in itself.

    Tell her to have an open mind and go watch The Union on netflix or wherever together.

    1 stat I always use is that 0 people have died from marijuana ever in the world. I mean that's a pretty large area since a majority of Americans have smoked or smoke marijuana.

    if i were you, i would keep it a secret until you think of a way to convince them

    I'm not saying it's harmful. But I'm also not saying it's 100% harmless.
    It is a "drug".

    And.... It's not "good to smoke" - smoking anything is harmful, thus the reason I said that. Was just bring up all the facts :smoke:

    Yes, marijuana can help cause schizophrenia but it's really only if you have a predisposition to it. I for one do not because, in my entire family, not one has had schizophrenia so I'm really not at risk to it at all. Before you smoke, try and find out if you have a predisposition to schizophrenia. If not, blaze away.

    You don't have to smoke it.

    Thank you for all your replies!

    I actually got a little scared when my cousin told me that one of her patients said he had smoked MJ ONCE and that he started hearing voices coming from everyone's stomachs and that he actually SEES bells ringing on top of people's heads. According to her he said he smoked once and has become like this ever since (ie these effects are permanent).

    What I asked her was what strain did he smoke? because it must've been a hell of a potent one!! Also I believe (like dr. House says) that "PEOPLE LIE ALL THE TIME my cousin might be lying trying to make me quit, the guy might be lying by saying he only smoked once or even what he describes might be a real figure of his hallucinogenic mind provoked by some much deeper illness...

    Don't forget she could be bullshitting. And that's one case anyway, if one person dies in a car crash do you stop driving cars? No, because the benefits outweigh the risks. As they do with weed.
     
  15. #15 xThrowBack, Sep 27, 2011

    Yeah that most likely won't happen unless you get some laced shit and just constantly smoke that.

    most people prefer it though. plus smoking is by far the most easily accessible method of consumption.

    The Union is a movie that people say is eye opening on the matter....an i agree we are ostricised and judged for smoking weed and its unfair. And stay away from that legal shit or whatever u said..that cant be good a kid from my school was doin that shit and got like a seisure in the senior parking lot...just smoke weed an ull b better off...also introduce you family to the idea of vaping and edibles which are 2 much healthier ways to get high off MJ. Vape and edibles...and "the union"

    As I said before, if the guy really was experiencing these things, it was probably because he had a predisposition for Schizophrenia. The bells shit sounds a bit like she was stretching the truth though.
