Where I live pot is legal (or at least half-legal, since you are allowed to buy it in shops in town, but you aren't allowed to smoke it in public), so I've seen many people do this.. If you're feeling confident, I think there's no problem. I know plenty of people who wanted to know what it was like and afterwards never touched it again. As long as you don't overdo it, it should be alright, I guess. (and ofcourse, if you buy it from a safe dealer)

Oh man some of these comments are too funny. ST, you're not going to die or jump out of a window or lose your mind or cook your cat. People need to relax. Be responsible. It's no different from drinking alcohol. Except it's illegal so I dunno. Just be safe. It won't ruin your life unless you let it.

Doing pot will eventually lead to you doing harder drugs such as crack/cocaine or meth. Yeah, you can't OD on pot, but that doesn't mean that it can't screw up your life. I've seen the distraught pot and other drugs have brought into people's lives, and it's nothing to be excited about. Besides medicinal purposes they may or may not serve, drugs are bad. Period.
But, hey, do what you want.

Don't take this the wrong way ST, plenty of my friends smoke weed and are alright. But be sure to look up what it does to you, because what people say about it being safe and not a health-risk is not true at all.

This.
I'm tired of people thinking it's healthy for you. People should do it if they want to. As long as they don't let it take over their lives everyday. Too much of anything isn't good.

I tried it for the first time a few years ago. Done it twice since then. All it does is make me MAD at EVERYONE and makes me just wanna PUNCH something. Not very fun. But I sleep AWESOME after.
Needless to say, I don't aspire to do it again unless I'm about to go to bed and NOT be in contact with humans.

Have fun
Try using a vaporizer or making some brownies...With that there are like no negative side effects.
π: 0 β©: 1
The first time I tried it my cousins made me use a vaporizer
It did not get me high at all, and instead gave me a bad headache
So I wouldnt say theres no negative side effects.
To the ST though, have fun. Don't make it too much of a habit though. Really though, its not as great as everyone makes it out to be.
π: 0 β©: 1
That doesn't make any sense, since when you vaporize you're getting pure THC, it's generally excepted as the most potent and safest way to consume weed since there is no risk of lung cancer.
Perhaps your cousin had a shitty vaporizer.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ha, I don't think so, its probably just me. All my cousins love it. But I've never touched it again.
I think you're key words are generally expected. Not everyone reacts the same way. Maybe I'm just weird like that =]

I was in the same boat just a couple months ago, ST. Three different people offered me to smoke with them and my curiosity immediately said "when and where." I'm not going to lie and say I completely regret it, but I do wish that I don't smoke as much as I do. I've made some really bad decisions, but at the same time I've had a lot of fun.
I can say from experience, the people that don't like the idea of smoking can and will leave you in the dust. Some might develop a false stereotype of you, even if you've known them for years. I've lost three close friends because of my smoking, two of which were my best friends. Two of those people hate me. One person who I thought knew me inside and out now thinks I'm a stoner who can't have fun without getting high (which isn't true at all). I've also made new friends, and also met my current boyfriend through an offer to smoke with him. People look at me differently now that I smoke, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
I'm not saying it's the best decision. I've smoked before school and spent the whole day staring at worksheets like they were in Greek. I've said "Fuck it" to several projects that could have easily made or broke my grade. I'm not saying you'll experience the same thing, but I beg you to be careful with when you smoke, who you smoke with, and how much you smoke. Smoking with the wrong people can lead to some really bad decisions you'll regret. One almost ruined my relationship, and I didn't know what to do because I didn't remember anything that was said. I was too high.
And hiding this from your parents? It's not easy. I've had to come home after almost every high, spray myself with perfume, and hope that my parents didn't go near me when I walked up to my room. It makes me feel guilty, it makes me feel like I'm disappointing them. Worst of all I often feel like they know, but they're testing me to see if I'll tell them, and that I'm failing their test.
There are good things that are keeping me going. When I smoke, all my stress and anxiety goes away. I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, and smoking doesn't just push it to the back of my head it gets rid of it completely. And whatever depresses me, even if it's brought up, won't bother me. It's the best feeling (to me) in the world being able to just forget about everything else and live in the moment.
I can stop if I need to, but I just don't want to. I can cut back, but I don't think I'd want to quit altogether if I didn't need to. Weed can be addicting, but it's all in your head. Don't become dependent on the drug, that's what ruins your life. Know what you're doing and what you're getting into ST, it's worth it to know the consequences of your decision.
Long comment is long, sorry for the rant. And anyone who flames or argues with me is going to be ignored, I'm not fighting about this.

Facts a lot of people don't seem to understand:
1) Pot isn't physically addictive. It CAN be mentally addictive, but you have to look at it from a broader perspective. ANYTHING can be mentally addictive. People are addicted to food, should they not eat? A lot of us here on deviantart can easily claim that they are addicted to drawing/art of some form. I know personally I will give up time with my friends to make art. I spend A LOT of my money buying materials. A lot of the time, I would rather be home making art than doing whatever it is I'm doing at that moment. This is an addiction. Think about it.
2) Pot is illegal. But why? You cannot overdose on marijuana, though you CAN overdose on alcohol. It will not give you lung or throat cancer, though cigarettes WILL. Pot is illegal because tobacco farmers saw it as a threat to their business and therefore rallied for it to be made against the law. Is that a good reason for something to become illegal?
3) It's still illegal. Weather it's illegal for a good reason or a bad reason, it is still against the law. If you are caught, you will get in trouble. A lot of the time, you won't get into TOO much trouble, but the thing is, if you are responsible you won't get caught.
4) Just because YOU don't understand why people do it, doesn't mean that other people won't ever want to do it. For a lot of people, it's just something that they are really curious about. It's something to try. It's something that won't automatically ruin your life and disappoint your family and murder all of your children, or whatever. Get of your high horse, just because you don't want to try it, doesn't mean people with a differing opinion are wrong.
5) Pot PROBABLY won't ruin your life. Of course there have been instances where pot has "ruined someone's life." Anecdotes are all over the place. But those instances aren't the norm. As long as you are aware of the potential consequences and consider your options carefully, you will be able to make an informed decision on whether or not to try pot. It is not something that everybody will enjoy. It's not something you will be forced to do more than once. If you don't like it, you never have to try it again. If you do like it, you always have to remember the potential consequences and be careful with your usage.
6) Clarification. This is coming from someone who DOES NOT DO POT. I know a lot about it because of some of my friends, and I have no problem with people using responsibly. But I don't do it myself. It just drives me crazy to see all of these people saying things like "POT WILL CAUSE YOU TO EAT YOUR PUPPIES AND GO TO JAIL AND TRY COKE." Because that's not necessarily the case.

I posted this link earlier, but I'm giving it to you because it answers a good number of your rhetorical questions. In particular I want to quote: "Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke."
Smoking tobacco PROBABLY won't ruin your life either, but it's not healthy for you or for the people around you. Marijuana is an illegal psychotropic drug that's also unhealthy for you and for the people around you. What I can't understand is how people justify endangering not only their careers and reputations, but the health of themselves, their family, their friends, strangers they pass on the street - anyone, just to get a buzz, or a high.

Since I'm a person who's entirely life was ruined because her brother gets high so much on marijuana, I'd say. . . Just don't. It's not fun, I've seen my brother been picked up in a emergency car because he got too high, and needed to get to the hospital.
I'm not saying that everyone who gets high then freaks out and goes crazy. I'm just saying, think of possible pros and cons.

Once you do it though, you might not be able to take it back. Are you sure?
π: 0 β©: 0
Honestly, I don't see why you would want to do it. I'm sick of hearing about how 'fucked up' people were on the weekend from doing this. Isn't there something else you could do other then this? I don't have any curiosity to try it, it's stupid, and I won't ever do it because of the chance of it ruining my life and disappointing my family. I hope you don't do it.
π: 0 β©: 0
I feel like everyone commenting is either saying "Yeah, go for it! Awesome!" or telling you that you're ruining your life. There's no neutrality.
So hey, how about some? Do it, because if you don't, the curiousity will never stop, I know. Be /careful/ about it. Make sure that you have nothing coming up where you might have to get a drug test. Smoking pot once isn't going to get you busted for it, unless you're being really stupid about it. Because it's likely that you aren't going to be the one carrying the pipe/the sack/the bong/whatever you're using to smoke. So paraphernalia charge aren't likely unless you start smoking on your own.Which is what I will caution you against.
Please make sure you have ample time to enjoy the high and come down before you have to go do something. Also make sure that you're not going to get a stupid idea while high (totally possible) and go do something. Try not to get too high, but if you plan to have enough time, even if this occurs, you should be able to deal with it.
I know some people think marijuana is a totally horrible drug, hence all those comments. But considering what else you could be interested in trying, this isn't that bad. It isn't physically addictive, but yeah, it is mentally so. Be careful, don't let it become a habit and start controlling your life. I know people who smoke and manage a real life just fine. I know people who let it control their life. If you like it, smoke occasionally- don't start doing it everyday, because before you know it, you'll "need" it to get up in the morning.
So that's my 5 cents. (Figured I put down a bit more than 2,

Precisely. For example, if my ex was conscious, he was high, and it ruined our relationship. But a LOT of people I know smoke every once in a while when they're having a chill night, and they're getting along in life just fine. No worse than having a couple drinks here and there.
π: 0 β©: 1
exactly! Just like drinking alcohol or possibly even smoking cigarettes, doing it every once and a while isn't going to hurt you or kill you. Letting it get out of control is what the problem is.

Let me put it this way. I know someone who was caught with marijuana and was hit with an illegal drug paraphernalia charge. It ended up on his permanent record. He spent time in juvie, and now, even though he's in his 20s and the charge was years ago, he cannot find a job. He'll get an offer, but as soon as they run a background check on him the offer is rescinded because of the drug charge.
Smoking is stupid. There is no such thing as getting high responsibly (though there are more and less responsible ways of doing it). You've probably already tried it by now, but I hope, for your sake, you won't continue.

I agree with you and fire-fly dreamer.
I was in hospital a few year back for depression. But there were a lot of patients in there who had been smoking weed. I looked at their faces there was NOTHING there. They sat with the most.....zombified look I'd ever seen!
Also I work in suicide prevention and I get many people talking to me who have been smoking weed feeling depressed. Feeling unmotivated. Also there is the other side to this, it doesn't just effect the person doing the drugs. People around them see changes, see anger towards them, see the person decline into a state of...well one can only describe it as zombiefied.
With some it could be that they already had depression, but so many of them tell me they used to be happy people before hand. But then how happy can one be to want to put chemicals in ones self to take them into a different world. Either way though, the weed makes it a hell of a lot worse.

My father just turned 50, and he's been smoking it since he was 14. He won't quit, and for the past five years, has been moving on to heavier things. Please don't try it, ST. It breaks my heart everytime I smell it on my dad. It gets in the way of our relationship. Don't do that to someone.

The people who are telling you it's going to ruin your life and you're going to be thrown in jail forever are not helping you because that's not the truth. They are partly right though it can ruin your life, if you let it, but it's your first time so it's not an issue. I have to say the first time you try it is not always perfect. Do not drink and smoke your first time, I learned that from experience. Be responsible and always do it in an environment you feel comfortable with a friend or two. I hope you have fun st :3

I really want to try it myself. Let us know how it goes!

It sickens me how many people here actually are telling you good luck. And how they want to try it. You realize this kills you right? That you're going to make a million mistakes now. That you'll be addicted. Insane. And if you get caught, you go to jail. You're throwing away your life. And the people you love.
No one wants to hug someone who smells like marijuana.
Or kiss lips that have smoked it.
Or be around someone who is addicted.
Don't be an idiot.
π: 0 β©: 9
Though I support your standpoint for why you don't care for it and/or care to do it, you cannot force your views on others lives. Especially when the information you have, is not all 100% true as to why ST shouldn't do it.
Addicted, Depends on the person and if they have an inclination to have addictive personalities.. I have done it occasionally (A few times in 8 years,) but never have I gotten addicted to it. Much like drinking, or smoking... addiction is when it starts messing with your life and impairing your ability to function without it. I know plenty of people that can smoke it once, and not even touch it, think about it, or get "chills" from not having it, and never smoke it again. I've been addicted to smoking cigarettes. And I think it's worse to kiss someone who smokes cigarettes, and smells like cigarettes now that I've stopped smoking. I can honestly say that a majority of people are addicted to the internet. I think that's worse than Marijuana since it hinders interpersonal relationships with people in real life.
Everything is mental, it's the ability to tell yourself that this is a drug and it's not really doing anything that is worse. It won't kill you, cigarettes have a higher chance of killing you than occasional use of marijuana. And I'd like to note that everything comes with the risk of death, even prescribed medicine. I had surgery the other day and that had a risk of me dying. Driving my car puts me at danger of dying.
The truth of the matter is, even normal people make millions mistakes without the aid of weed. You hear about people in the media all the time skimping information on their taxes, you hear about people killing people in bad neighborhoods. You hear about shootings like the ones in Arizona and the recent school shooting in Nebraska which were not the byproduct of anyone smoking weed. Weed is alternatively better than getting addicted to getting aroused by gore images, (And yes it does happen, I'm studying to be a sex therapist.) And just to clear it up, Marijuana only becomes a gateway drug if you let it. When people say that Marijuana makes you more inclined to try other things, though it can, However, it takes the personal preference and ability of a person to back away from the offer which leads to the deciding factor. And truth of the matter is, more states are legalizing marijuana to where it's only a misdemeanor crime rather than a felony. So to say that you'll get thrown in jail is true in some states, but not all over the board as it used to be. Plus a lot depends on the amount and if it's your first time being caught or not. Most times they will let you off on probation if you have never done it before and don't have any/ or a little bit on you. (I know because one of my close friends got caught with it and was placed on probation.)
As I said, I support why you don't feel it is right for ST to do it, just please bear in mind that others have differing views and to call them an idiot based on their belief is not right.

I will tell you, what I've told everyone who is trying to start some argument with me...
I'm tired. Really, I am.
I voiced my opinion.
And people are basically telling me I am not to assume anything like I am...
Thank you for trying to prove a point- but I still find you assuming just as much as I am.
No one knows ST, so no one can claim they are correct.
However, no one should be pushing that trying an ILLEGAL drug as a good thing. Despite the side-effects. This drug IS illegal. This drug HAS done SCREWED up things. And that's all that matters. It has a past- and it is dangerous.
Therefore, I see what you're trying to tell me, but I am sick of arguing, and trying to convince people why I believe these things.
You cannot change what has been taught to me as a young child. It's just the way I choose to believe. And trust me- I've heard a lot of these...
"facts"
π: 0 β©: 1
Then I should note to remind you that you cannot change the beliefs of others. I'm just trying to mention to you too, that close minded-ness to facts is just as harmful as those that are here to support ST's decision to do it.
I really hate to reiterate this point, but also depending upon where you live it may not be illegal. And some countries do not Ban it either. And I like to point out that drinking has done screwed things up for numerous people more than it has for people who do marajuana... cocaine has done worse, acid has done worse... cigarettes, statistically has killed more people. And regardless of it's past, it's the people that chose to reflect upon the negative aspects of it that have veiled a lot of the medical aspects such as being able to help cancer patients work though their chemo and allow Depressed patients to be able to feel less like the burdens of the world are on their shoulders... and to be honest too, 'hemp' or weed as it is known has also been known to be used in things such as lotions to help cure extreme dry skin, has been used in things such as fabrics and also in jewelry... And a lot of the reason it is so illegal now also is because the level of THC is higher than was in the 70's. THC is what makes it so bad... not the marijuana it's self. but the addition of THC. Marijuana by it's self serves as a calming effect... the THC causes the other whacky effects.
And also too, it's the people that have done the screwed up things, not the weed... they are the ones that chose to smoke more, and kill their brain cells.. I personally think enough material is out there for people to make an informed decision on their own life style... If it's not your thing, that's fine, but to call someone an idiot for believing that is not fair or justified. Keep those remarks to yourself if that's how you feel. "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone."
π: 0 β©: 0
Regarding the getting caught issue: If you live in a state where marijuana is decriminalized, such as California or New York, then actually if you get caught with anything less than like an ounce (which is a shitload of weed) you are penalized with no more than a fine. It is a violation, not even a misdemeanor, and there is no jail time associated it with the offense. Further, marijuana has not been found to be physically addicting, and you would be surprised how many people you know get high and just don't tell you.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know a Lot of people- that doesn't make it right.
Does illegal mean NOTHING to people? Look up WHY it's illegal.
And can we please stop this stupid comment opinion war. You are roughly the 8th person to tell me I am wrong. I don't want to hear it. It's bull.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not telling you that you are wrong, simply giving you the knowledge I have. Knowledge is power after all, and you are still entitled to your own opinions/beliefs. As far as the illegality thing goes, it is only illegal in this country. There are plenty of other ones in the world where marijuana is not in fact illegal. Just saying
