Weed

Re: Weed

Smoking dope is a way of getting out of the house without actually going out, it suits a lot of peoples lifestyles.

I thought you meant Little Weed with Bill and Ben !! That’s the only weed I know about.

Re: Weed

How many of you smoke it?
Maybe like me, you used to but stopped?
Just curious as to what people think about it, bad for your health? Long-term psychological effects?
Perfectly safe?

Would be interested to hear what the general consensus is across the message board posters here. It seems to be more popular than ever but the habits appear to be changing.

Kids smoking loaded joints these days with no tobacco, unheard of when I was a toker many years ago! And now you have edibles and many ways of eating it without smoking. Any munchers out there?

Steer clear mate, it's a gateway drug, many long time users end up having mental issues, and some progress to much worse!

I wouldn't touch it, beer is bad enough!

Beer is far far worse

Huge costs to society in terms of NHS, crime etc

Smoking weed is definitely not risk free but giving up weed is far easier than detoxifying from alcohol

Re: Weed

It's not for me, tried it several times over the years and just didn't enjoy the sensation. Had some cakes once and that was horrible. Sweats, dizziness and paranoia. Lovely.
The smell of the new style skunk is pretty repulsive. I seem to get a waft of it on a daily basis coming from someone's house or young people walking down the road. When I had a driving job I noticed how common it had become to smell it coming out of cars which clearly isn't a great situation.

Re: Weed

I will smoke a few joints over the course of the year, only ever with other people though.

I've never got my own :shrug::hehe:

Doesn't do that much for me mind tbh. I find alcohol a much better 'high'. I would legalise it and regulate it though. Would have no issue with each local authority being permitted to have a couple of licenced cannabis cafes etc.

Beer probably is worse.
I smoked weed heavily for about 12 years but most of that was back in the days of old skool resin. I enjoyed the resin buzz, not too heavy.
The "greens" came in then and my experiences changed drastically. They give me anxiety and panic attacks.
I found it easy to step away from the weed at that point as I was no longer able to enjoy it.
The problem was, I replaced it with copious amounts of lager.
I sometimes wish that old skool resin was still around at the kind of quality levels we used to have back then :hehe:

Re: Weed

Wonder how Ninja feels about women smoking weed or whether he thinks they shouldn't do it in the same room as men or something.

Re: Weed

Skunk gives weed a bad name. It’s important to differentiate the two.

an interesting take on the free market ,state [dealer] controlled resin hit a low, an entrepreneurial backlash took place in the home grown high thc green strains.
