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

[xnmd1]

i've never seen/considered my dad a hypocrit. and i think my parents both taught me very good values, and i look up to them more than any one in the world. if i could be half as good a parent as my mom and dad were to me then i would be a very very proud mother.

most teenagers (not all) are going to experiment with drugs and alcohol. its pretty much a fact of life. it doesn't matter if they grew up in picture perfect , drug and alcohol free homes. or a home where there mom liked to have some wine and their dad smoked a joint sometimes. teenagers are still going to experiment.

i smoked weed back then, and drank, because i was curious and wanted to try it. it has absolutely nothing to do with my parents not teaching me right from wrong. i knew very well it was wrong trust me my parents taught me that., i just didn't care.

and to be completly honest with you i used to smoke it every day. my dad caught me, we had a talk. he wasn't mad, i didn't get punished, we just talked about it. that was 4 years ago and i've probably smoked it about 3 times since then.

why do people think amsterdam = weed???? I have relatives there who don't smoke it, actually most people there don't smoke it people just don't see the appeal, and its only legal smoked in certain places and its not the same stuff that you get sold on the streets here.[/QUOTE

My point was bein everyone raving bout it bein illegal, its not illegal in amsterdam. I'm pretty sure people who live in amsterdam do not get judged like they do here. If it was that bad, it would be illegal EVERYWHERE. Not gettin into the reasons why its not legal cos i'm bored. dont normally get riled up on here, but the majority on here need to bloody open their eyes and get educated.

Marijuana and alcohol are NOT one in the same.

youre right theyre not marijuana is ILLEGAL

however they are both mind altering drugs that you should not operate any kind of machinery including a car or be in the vicinity of small children whilst using

Some of the BACK HISTORY of why Marijuana is illegal. There is also a little bit of info for those on the other side.

Just thought that I should be the one to educate those that really dont have a clue on why Marijuana is illegal, and how it came to be.

This probably wont be my last post on this, as Marijuana has made me more determined than ever. NOT a lazy fool who cant take care of their responsibilities! POW!

None of these websites were academic, I certainly wouldnt trust something called legalizepot.wordpress. If you are really into your pot, you really need to start looking into the medical research concerning the recreational use of pot. I for one, have cared for people that have suffered the detrimental impact of weed smoking. It worries me, the level of ignorance surrounding this drug, not just you personally but there has been a lot of pro-weed smoking on this thread and I think even if I was the kind of person to smoke it when my baby was in bed, I would only be able to hide it from her/him for so long. Is this something you are prepared for your children to know that you do? . Your child will also know the difference in you. I can tell the difference in people that are high, and it does not smell very nice either. Im not sure if it was you that said before or someone else on this thread, but if you smoke weed to cope with emotional issues, this is a really bad move. If you are using weed to dull your pain, I fear for how you would be without the drug. This to me, sounds like an addiction and I would be seeing my GP about being referred for some counselling. Its all well and good saying, " I can stop whenever I want..it means nothing" but then going ahead and still doing it.....If it means nothing, why are you doing it in the first place.

well here you have the whole skunk thing, my point is the legal stuff will not be getting modified to be made a lot stronger than here iykwim, holding lo atm so one hand typing!
edit: the stuff they're cut with here is one of the reasons is why it was moved back to class B

 

[mummy2jack]

Everyone in Amsterdam are terrible parents!!! They're all gonna end up smack heads and jump off buildings!!!

where did anyone say that? ridiculous post!!

This whole bloody thread is ridiculous!!!!

that is probably very true.. i found deep offense at the word "smack head" i know you didnt use the word with this intent but if you read my earlier post you will understand why. these people are sister/brothers/daughters/mothers etc

I apologise if i have offended you, it wasn't meant with that intent and i 100% appreciate peoples views on this whole thing, again i am sorry xx

ER - People take antidepressants daily, prescribed from their doctors.

How is weed any different? Just because its not prescribed? Well it is prescribed in many cases here and in the US. Take out the legality issue. There is NO difference. In fact, prescription drugs are found to be more addictive. Would you go in to girly sanctuary and tell the moms that are asking about medication for PPD or other depression issues, that its wrong to take mood altering drugs? Everyone is all gungho about that, but then come in here and say its wrong to alter your mood or use "drugs" to cope with emotional issues.

And people can want to smoke it. It does not mean they have an addiction, because someone else in society is telling them to stop.

Also, with weed, you can use what amount works for you.

Like I said, I have a brother and a good friend, with mental illnesses. Doctors don't stick with you 24/7 and see what dosage works for you, etc. They just prescribe you a pill. Usually one that just knocks you out. Weed may be used for self medicating, but like I said, you can change the amount you use. Can't change the mg with a pill, or change how many you take, without it being dangerous.

I find weed MUCH more safe.

Also, people are operating machinery, going to work, having children in their care, performing surgery, doing everything in society, while on prescription drugs. All found to have side effects.

People are prescribed antidepressants for a reason - they are being monitored during use by their primary care team or mental health team if needed. The drugs used have gone through rigorous trials to be licensed for use. Huge difference to marijuana in my opinion. If you are needing marijuana as an emotional 'crutch' you should be seeking professional advice, as should anyone using alcohol for the same reason.

 

[xnmd1]

oh and people saying medicinal marijuana is different, because nothing's done to it to make it stronger ... around here the medicinal weed is some of the besst/strongest stuff you can get your hands on

Actually many people are not monitored correctly, which is why there is such a huge problem with prescription drugs and specifically oxy's and other pain meds at the moment. Also you can go in and say whatever you want and get prescribed pretty much anything.

That may be your experience but I live in the UK and work in the community as a nurse specialist. Drugs, especially controlled drugs, are not prescribed without careful consideration and as a nurse I have to have a clear rationale for asking for drugs to be prescribed. This is from a safety perspective and also from a financial perspective.

To those against marijuana and expressing their opinions like adults, without terrible, ignorant judgments- Thank you, and I totally understand why you would feel as you do. Not everyone is going to agree, after all it is an illegal substance, and well not the best thing to be doing, especially as a parent.

To those who aren't against marijuana but do not do it themselves, but may have a spouse who does- and just because your spouse may smoke marijuana doesn't mean they are terrible parents, in fact my OH does and can put most dads to shame and I don't need anyones approval there, lol Don't listen to the terrible judgments, you know your partener/spouse and that is all that matters.

To the moms who smokes marijuana daily, weekly, monthly, yearly- It doesn't define you. You are doing nothing terribly wrong. Yes breaking the law, shit...I've broke it probably already today, lol... not hard to do. You relax with a joint just as others relax with a drink, not a big deal to people who have the means to understand

To those who are AGAINST marijuana and feel the need to harrass or be ignorant and judgmental towards others on here- #1- I truly don't care... you aren't affecting me personally since I do have a life outside of this computer. #2- You are not perfect, no one is. #3 finding out your parents smoke marijuana isn't something most find life altering in any way... it doesn't do psychological harm nor does it cause the child (who chances are is a teen/adult) to loose trust, or respect for their parent. Why you might want to know? Well because we weren't raised with large sticks up our asses and sheltered from the real world and raised to be so darn judgmental and ignorant, which to me makes a very well rounded and openly honest person, which is being a good parent, IMO. Some of you ladies are being terribly rude, and go ahead and say, "oh I feel strongly about it, blah blah blah" I feel strongly about a lot of things too, yet I do not feel the need to judge someone on here, or hurt their feelings etc... IF I went around voicing my opinions on everything I feel strongly about, I would probably hurt a few feelings on here and to me, it's not worth it.

Someone said clearly you can find other ways to deal with things? Sure, and coming on here and judging someone else to help with our own insecurities is one of them, which I do not feel is needed.

I think some sticks need a removing, some joints need a smoking, some drinks need a drinking, some sex needs a having etc... and we can all come back, refreshed and maybe realize everyone has their own quirks and differences and one way or another it's okay to at lease one person.

Just because You feel it's wrong, doesn't make it wrong and bitching to people, or preaching isn't going to help, if anything you are adding to the stress in the world which causes more people to turn to pot to chill out hahaha sorry, had to say it.

Good day ladies, and why don't we all find something more productive to do than to sit here and argue when it doesn't change anything anyways?

I'm off to clean and cook some lunch as I am hungry, and no... not from the munchies! haha

 

[Eve]

Oh before I go... I know so many people who get pain medication prescribed and are addicts, or sell them without a problem... just had to throw that in there.

Good day ladies again and to everyone as we do need to understand now everyone is as understanding or easy going as we are

I feel as though a link to a song is needed here.

haha I seriously love this! So funny and true!

Absolutly fab post! i loved it! i so agree with you x

 

[Blaumba]

Obviously it is irresponsible to be stoned or drunk around a child, but I highly doubt any of you would kick your OH's out for getting really pissed. How it weed any different?

i can only speak for me but i would kick him out for the night if he came home pissed! we made an agreement when i was pregnant that we wouldn't be near oli if we were drunk. but that's us... i was only ever talking about kicking someone out for the night, not for good.

Thats totally fair enough. I don't agree with being intoxicated around babies either, I just see a lot of hypcrisy when it comes to weed. I guess I'm just a really dedicated and passionate stoner at heart

[RinnaRoo]

I really don't feel like the fact that I smoke weed defines me as a person. I am so much more than a weed smoker. And to be honest, this thread made me question if I should slow down. And because OH got into an accident on the way home from work. Some dude spun out and hit him going 30mph. The car is pretty banged up, about $400 worth of damage. So the money that we spend on weed has to now be saved up for the car. Plus I wanna look into a little part time job.
So there for, I'm stopping for a while. Maybe permantley. Idk.
I just don't to hide it anymore.
While I still stand behind all of my argument, (the websites where that of fact and opinion for those that found them to be in void) I do agree that no one under the age of 21 should smoke, it should never be exsposed to a child, and you shouldn't drive with a fresh high.
I would also like to thank the girls that defended my argument in the begining when I was first to say "I smoke Marijuana."
I will continue to stand by and defend this Wonder Plant, as it has so many wonderful properties. If you choose to believe it or not. I know how much it helps those with cancer and other medical issues.
Always buy from trusted sources (ie medical stores, private growers) and never buy anything already rolled. And always use common sence.

This! All of this... I can't put it any better than this without saying some very bad words about certain opinions which I personally find very uneducated. I know I have researched weed and am comfortable with what I know. Has anyone who is anti-weed or are they just bent on saying it's 'drugs' and it's 'bad' lol? I don't mean to cause offense by saying that but a lot of the anti-weed posts have said 'weed is illegal, so it's bad' and that is that. Well, I am offended by such a narrow-minded view.
Wow... I must be missing out and it must be good to be on your high horse, 'cause I see a LOT of it going on in this place about certain topics, why can't everyone just respect and ACCEPT everyone else's opinion instead of repeatedly trying to make the minority feel like shit, which is exactly what is happening in this thread.
Sorry if I have offended anyone but when your lifestyles are attacked, that's what tends to happen-- you get mad and you want to stand up for yourself...
