bit lame to antagonise everybody by trolling your own discussion (that is if you want a serious discussion if not just 420 blaze this thread)
Yeah this is true, seen it get worse tbh.. my mates all smoked and it was more of a rebel attitude to all the proper straight edge people going "ITS A GATEWAY DRUG TO HEROIN!" "You'll end up on the streets homeless stealing for money to get weed!"; among other things. However if you ever got caught by parents or whatever it was still a bad thing to get caught doing and you'd rightly get a bollocking about it. Nowadays its different, they found out my step brother smokes and although they were really pissed off they had no way of arguing against him.. he just came with all this info and they had no comeback.. remember my mum ringing me and starting telling me what she said and it was hilarious, I was like "no wonder you didn't get through, you think weed and cannabis are completely different things.. you won't win trying to argue if you know basically nothing". Him and all his mates smoke WAY more than all my mates (who smoke loads and regularly).. they've even told me they've smoked with them and they think its ridiculous. If you grow up like that then you end up thinking you're some qualified doctor on the subject, there are fucking loads of deluded people due to the uneducated parents/authority figures that they just disregard everything.wolf89 wrote:It's like this weird attitude where because there was so much negative bullshit spread about weed back years ago people have gone way too far the other way and started proclaiming it to a wondrous thing which you can smoke constantly all day without any negative results and anything otherwise is a lie.
this completely, the amount of negative media hysteria about weed in general in the past and a lot of stoners holier than thou attitudes now make it impossible for any serious and sensible debate on the subject to happen, cannabis has amazing potential to help people, but it also has a lot of potential to ruin lives if abused. Too many people that smoke are in denial about it having any negative effects at all, which ironically weakens the case for legalisation imo.wolf89 wrote:I meant in general.mIrReN wrote:nobody is accusing of propaganda they're merely saying terpit is spouting shit because he is and this is a non-threaad because I think/hope most are well aware of the effects

tbf I usually dont suffer stoneovers at all and feel pretty lucky in that respect, and i try and have periods of at least a few weeks or a month or so every so often of not smoking to keep my head in the game, if you get angry when you cant get stoned thats just sad and it shows the person probably does have an issue.

Alcohol gives you a hangover for a day or two but your right as rain usually after that.
5am sunday morning was my last toke and todays been a right struggle to fight off the mardyness.
I'm not exactly a model of calm though but sobriety has taught me where and when I can cope and today has been fraught in a usually non fraught enviroment. this to me is a big negative, another reason why I cant do recreational opiates cos of mildly psychotic mood swings in the days following. alcohol makes me feel like hell and that I really was the arse that last night I thought I wasn't but not angry. that stonovers bad cos it's shit like that that causes fights/rows and I never hear about it discussed and I know its not me as Ive seen stoner mates lose there shit when there supplies been dry.
Yeh, I know one of my friends who loses her shit when she can't get, has problem, but then she works full time so don't really pull her up on it as she seems happy. seems like half a life though, bound to a substance you have to take daily yet you see it as what you do to escape.Dystinkt wrote:tbf I usually dont suffer stoneovers at all and feel pretty lucky in that respect, and i try and have periods of at least a few weeks or a month or so every so often of not smoking to keep my head in the game, if you get angry when you cant get stoned thats just sad and it shows the person probably does have an issue.

tbf i can sympathise with the view of getting stoned to escape the mundanity of work or life, I worked a succession of menial dead end jobs for a while just to earn a bit of cash for uni and getting baked pretty much kept me sane during those months, as i had no other ways to release stress due to time constraints mainly (I worked nights from 6pm-6am 6 days a week, with the option of a daytime shift on sundays if i wanted more money). I used to go to work a bit blazed and then have a joint on my break or something and the shift would fly by and everything was fine haha. I realised that this wouldnt be forever though which is why I dont think I ever had a problem.butter_man wrote:Yeh, I know one of my friends who loses her shit when she can't get, has problem, but then she works full time so don't really pull her up on it as she seems happy. seems like half a life though, bound to a substance you have to take daily yet you see it as what you do to escape.Dystinkt wrote:tbf I usually dont suffer stoneovers at all and feel pretty lucky in that respect, and i try and have periods of at least a few weeks or a month or so every so often of not smoking to keep my head in the game, if you get angry when you cant get stoned thats just sad and it shows the person probably does have an issue.

My stoneovers been alright up until today. I had a moment yesterday where I thought I was completely sober and then halfway through my gym induction I looked at the clock and things went abstract and I realised I was STILL a bit stoned. Today I've found it took me a bit longer to shake off the general negative feeling you get when your self has a tendency to veer towards depression, my self before the saturday stoner sesh had a list of thoughts to combat it so I didnt dwell, I either misplaced them today or they didnt seem to ring as true as they did before.
saying that I needed that night to get twisted. it's put a full stop at the end of a sentence of existence, like a breath in between the next bit of life so Im not running round with my face red exasperated and gasping wondering where the next think stop is. it also reaffirmed I dont want to do it again for at least a few months as I can't afford the days following to get over it. that and vaping just isnt the same as smoking so doesnt have the same draw. pun semi intended.
feel like I'm getting back on my shit know, tho.
Holland commissioned research on the gateway effects of cannabis and found that it pretty much completely separated weed from other drugs. People don't really care if something's not readily available, over there at least anyway apparently.Muncey wrote:Yeah this is true, seen it get worse tbh.. my mates all smoked and it was more of a rebel attitude to all the proper straight edge people going "ITS A GATEWAY DRUG TO HEROIN!"

Lack of good information in the past has meant theres many people who completely disregard anything negative said about weed and thats just as equally wrong as spouting bullshit about you'll end up a prostitute smackhead if you have one spliff.
2 sides of the same coin imo.
