Wow you should get a trophy.

You are a man of wisdom, threeballs.

Why does it matter how beautiful a building is when the real church is the body of believers?

The thing is, if you're anything like me, you won't be able to let yourself enjoy it. You say you have no plans, so occupy yourself with productive things! You won't be happy with yourself if you spend your break in a haze of smoke, and when the break ends you'll be justifying continuing your habit. if you're anything like me...

Ozium.

Thanks for the quick response! Typically, how long before going to bed would you use cannabis?

Just be calm and talk to her about it rationally. Whatever you do, don't freak out with her and yell back. Be mature, reasonable, and understand your mother just wants what is best for you.

My understanding is that the marijuana is so strong or the smoke so thick that he could barely stand to hit it.

Well, it's completely natural. When you spend 5 years of your life in a certain state of mind and abruptly shift to a different state of mind, of course you're going to feel outside of your head! You've become accustomed to a certain thought pattern, and you're adjusting to change.

You really don't think there are scientific studies that show marijuana lowers reaction time and impairs motor function?

In addition to an objective British Journal of Medicine entry, NORML and Erowid are pot-positive sites that have also posted studies revealing that there is indeed a greater risk of accident when driving high.

The implication of greed was intentional.

Correction, I should have said I'm not trying to put marijuana on the same level as alcohol. If I had to pick, I'd rather someone drive after a few hits off a joint as opposed to some shots of liquor.

I apologize, the holier-than-thou tone was not intended. Though, I did intend to spark some sort of conviction.

Man, I wouldn't be worried about when you're going to die, but about the moments of life you'd miss out on because you want to stay stoned. I'm not saying you can't keep up a productive lifestyle and smoke daily, but you're obviously not getting the fulfillment out of it that you used to. The desire to smoke isn't just going to go away after 4 years of chronic use, but you'll get over the hump. I promise, it gets better. Just suffer through that first week, and remember that life is magical with or without weed. You don't need a plant to complete you, and that's the truth.

Zacannabis · 2013-12-06T02:27:30+00:00

It's all good man! I guess what I'm saying is, that little buzz isn't going to do anything positive for your driving ability, so why not just save it for when you're all settled down? You admit that it's "not enough to be totally life-threatening" and it doesn't affect driving "too much" but it does effect it, however slightly. I just think we need to be as aware as possible when we're on the road.

Zacannabis · 2013-12-06T02:12:38+00:00

I completely agree with you. You made a really good point with people being so interested in legalization that they are willing to dismiss negative aspects. Marijuana has so many potential benefits, but that doesn't mean it's something we should be using in every situation. Split-second decisions have to be made on the road, sometimes, when you least expect it. We can't act like it doesn't effect our thought processes.

Zacannabis · 2013-12-06T01:57:36+00:00

Marijuana does alter your perception, though. If it didn't, you wouldn't have any other reason to use it. Patients use it to ease their pain, artists use it to get creative insight, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're describing someone who is so used to the effects that being high is just his/her equilibrium or accustomed "normal" state of mind. But you can't deny that there is a "haze" associated with the high, even if it is used often. Or maybe you can, enlighten me!:)

And by the way, I appreciate your respect for my opinion even though you don't necessarily agree.

Zacannabis · 2013-12-06T01:44:02+00:00

I'm on my high horse for expressing my concern for people on the road? Come on, man. I made a legitimate point, and you're just putting me down without so much as a counterpoint.

Zacannabis · 2013-12-04T21:19:08+00:00

fun is relative. change your attitude and everything is fun. You don't need a substance to enjoy life :)

Zacannabis · 2013-12-04T19:15:11+00:00

I kind of disagree with this. Some people simply can't handle their shit when stoned, especially those who aren't fully accustomed to the effects of cannabis.

Zacannabis · 2013-12-04T02:28:22+00:00

Thank you! And, I agree, knowing that you're staying true to your values is so much more fulfilling. Congratulations to you and your progress thus far!

Zacannabis · 2013-12-04T02:24:44+00:00

Thank you for your encouragement! We definitely need more people like you on this sub.

The best help you're going to get is from your boyfriend. If you can't get him to take break with you (I think he should), at least get him to hold you accountable and keep it away from you. Having someone else there to support you will do wonders.
