What a immature inconsiderate *******!!!

[ttc_lolly]

In my experience, cannabis is the worst drug I've ever encountered (there's been a few from my younger, partying days!). For me, I must be one of the few but I had a really bad reaction once, thought I was going to die and it really shook me up! That wasn't my 1st time smoking it btw and I hadn't bought it off some dodgy crackhead either! And to say it's considered the least extreme drug out of the ones I've done is crazy! x

Wow, that must have been some terrible stuff, laced with other chemicals as well.... I honestly can say I Know 200+ people within the last 10 years who smoked/smoke pot and none of them had terrible effects from just marijuana. I however, nearly died after smoking a joint, was sent to hospital where I was in convulsions, vomiting (choking) had to have my stomach pumped, put on IV and even had to have CPR done until arriving at hospital by ambulance.
When they found out I had just smoked pot, they knew that medically it couldn't do what it did to me.... they did a toxicology screen and found high levels of cocaine and many other added chemicals in my system which reacted against each other, along with a rare allergic reaction, which caused such a traumatic experience.

If you aren't smart enough to get it from a well known source personally (which most regular smokers do......) then no, you shouldn't smoke it lol... it's called using common sense when using anything, just like if I have a drink or two I wouldn't get homemade from some weirdo down the road haha... lord know, he could have pissed in it!

Even with my experience I am still not against marijuana. I do not smoke it myself, haven't since high school but I know MANY who do, some in very high positions at their job, some you would NEVER expect them to do it at all, and they are successful and very good parents!

It's not fair or intelligent to class everyone as the same who smokes marijuana and shows some clearly haven't a clue (which isn't a bad thing, it's best not to smoke it or know loads about it) but I think if lack of knowledge is present on a subject, maybe one shouldn't comment and be so judgemental.... kwim?

some of these pro weed posts are absolutly pathetic imo especially with children involved!!

anyway . . .

it drives me isaine everytime somone says oh it just makes you lazy its harmless! does it?? is it?

because i personally nearly died from it and sufferd years of mental health problems whch ruined my teenage years and that is so sad

jumped from a second floor widow onto concrete and fell uconcious then woke up in hostpital because i had a very severe reaction that scared me so much i wanted to die and no it wasnt a whitey it was the most terrifying thing thats ever happennd to me and some of these comments are v offensive for that reason.


Me and dan talked for hours last night he said sorry and admitted he was wrong and he took the piss we agreed it will never enter the house he will smoke it every other weekend spending no more than a tenner and come home sober . . .

I'm glad you managed to have a chat and have set some ground rules. A lot of people seemed to have missed the point of the whole thread : how it made you feel. Not the addictiveness or how harmful it can be xx

I have seen some people flip out like that, I have done it as well, way before LO when I hadn't been smoking it for a while and got greedy and smoked heaps all at once. I thought I was going to die too, I could hardly feel my heartbeat, and it was awful. It was solely my own fault though, which is the difference, I knew better than to smoke as much as I did when I'd been off it a while. It must be terrifying to have that happen to you on your first smoke.

Also it is not physically addictive, it's psychologically addictive as someone else said.

There are always going to be bad apples out there in the bunch, it is a risk you do take while doing anything. Shit, people die from food poisoning, crossing the street, drinking alcohol, way more from alcohol that marijuana.... and just because something isn't for you DOESN'T give anyone the rights to judge someone else on it.

It wasn't my first time, but admittedly I was smoking on an empty stomach so when I started to be sick and nothing was coming up, so awful, gut wrenching wretches it was so horrible but just my own experience, when things have gone the wrong way with other drugs, cannabis for me was the most worst! And for me, that boggles my mind as it is seen as the less worse out of all illegal drugs!

 

[ShanandBoc]

hah. I always got it from well known sources, its mind altering, who knows what the long term affects on the brain are? You all might think u are ok, and u might be, for now.

I know it had affected me mentally. Mainly the way things get to me really easily, little things, and i loose my temper easily, i hate it. I never use to be like that, before weed.

I know when i was smoking it everyday (i smoked for over 10 years) that i was different when i was on it, it started changing me and i didnt like the way it made me feel anymore.

My ex was a long term smoker and i know how it affected him also. I knew alot of people that smoked, and alot of them admit it has affected them. Thankfully some have also given up

 

[Eve]

Lydiarose- Please read my comment on my experience.
I am glad you and your OH worked things out without resorting to anything too extreme Just please remember, judging isn't very nice

 

[ShanandBoc]

but if baby is asleep then no harm

What if baby wakes up? What if you had to drive them to hospital in an emergency?

Irresponsible imo.

 

[Lydiarose]

its actually very comforting to here that others have been through simmilar it really is as i geuinlly thought it was only me as were bombarded with how "safe" weed is! i know it cant kill you but the reaction it can cause can! mum2j&kx2 i have also thought mine was laced maybe by salvia but i stupidly smoked it again a few weeks later and a very simmilar thing happend . . . it terrfies me it really does i have no problem with naturally grown cannabis like i dont with magic mushrooms and arowaska they are here for a reason BUT thats not the point ...

 

[ShanandBoc]

Just please remember, judging isn't very nice

I like how we cant say 'you are on drugs around your children, its wrong' cause we are being judgmental.

 

[pinklightbulb]

Irresponsible imo.

I don't drive anyway, weed or not I would either have to call an ambulance or drive unlicensed. If LO wakes up I am still capable of doing things, if you were once a long term smoker you know you CAN still do things, or at least I can and a lot of other heavy smokers I know can as well. I can absolutely assure anyone here who might be wondering that I'm not a zombie 'cause I had a few puffs of the magic dragon Anything I can do un-stoned I can do stoned as well

Yes I too did it on an empty stomach, maybe that is the key lol. It was horrible. But I knew it was a one-off and sure enough it has been, I never reacted like it ever again, but I get that some people will always do it every time they try, it just isn't for everyone

oh of course hun, each to their own i say! the only post here i commented on was when a PP said she drives whilst high and IMO that isn't safe as you are then putting others in danger!

 

[ShanandBoc]

I also found it hard to learn new things like at work etc (i was smoking everyday) It was like my mind was clouded and i couldnt take in info properly, this is when i was at work so wasnt stoned at the time. I dont get that so much anymore. It was from long term cannabis use

It so nice to be clear headed

 

[ShanandBoc]

Heavy use of cannabis has been linked to decreased fertility in both men and women. In females, there is evidence that cannabis use may disrupt the menstrual cycle. In males, cannabis is thought to decrease sperm quality and testosterone levels. It is also thought to decrease the ability of sperm to move quickly and has been linked to sperm abnormalities.

These factors can make it difficult for a woman to become pregnant.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=marijuana-firmly-linked-t

When a breastfeeding mother uses cannabis, THC passes into the breast-milk and thus into the baby, where it can be stored in the baby’s fatty tissue for several weeks.

Using cannabis while breastfeeding may cause the baby to be unsettled and disrupt feeding cycles.

As a result, cannabis use should be avoided when breastfeeding.

I think everyone is different and each to their own as well I'm not harming anyone and certainly don't drive like it since I'm not licensed anyway. I'm off to bed as it's late here, glad to see this thread stayed mostly civil

Well if you had a bad reaction, then it's very smart to stay away from it.
I just see nothing wrong with marijuana. I feel as though if we can have alcohol which kills sooooooooooooo many people, and have it legal etc.. and even be allowed to have some in our system and still drive, I think that marijuana shouldn't be looked down on so much. I mean why....?

Just please remember, judging isn't very nice

I like how we cant say 'you are on drugs around your children, its wrong' cause we are being judgmental.

I am sure you know what I meant hun... it's been done before and you know it. Judging isn't nice... be it for weed, smoking in general, or CIO and formula use!

 

[ShanandBoc]

Formula is a little different to being under the influence of mind altering drugs, so is smoking.

I dont think there is anyway around it, its wrong. Social services would agree too im sure.

Its not being judgmental. When are we allowed to say something is wrong.? Aren't we allowed to do that anymore? Its a sad society where looking upon having drugs whilst caring for a child as being wrong is seen as being judgmental.

it drives me isaine everytime somone says oh it just makes you lazy its harmless! does it?? is it?

because i personally nearly died from it and sufferd years of mental health problems whch ruined my teenage years and that is so sad

jumped from a second floor widow onto concrete and fell uconcious then woke up in hostpital because i had a very severe reaction that scared me so much i wanted to die and no it wasnt a whitey it was the most terrifying thing thats ever happennd to me and some of these comments are v offensive for that reason.


Me and dan talked for hours last night he said sorry and admitted he was wrong and he took the piss we agreed it will never enter the house he will smoke it every other weekend spending no more than a tenner and come home sober . . .

Wow you are so rude and narrow-minded. Do you drink? If you do then you are also a hypocrite. Why is being pro-marijuana pathetic? The weed you smoked was probably laced which is why it should be legalised and regulated! Educate yourself before being so judgemental.
