Got Offered Weed Today

JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
Ok, first of all, I live in the Netherlands as most of you know, where small amounts of weed are legal. If you think this topic isn't right, then fine, close it.

So ok, I've been wanting to try some weed for some time now, just once, out of interest. Not planning to get addicted or waste my well deserved money on it.

The only problem is I'm 13.. meh. I wanted to try, but I myself, think I should at least be 2 years older. But who knows.

So a friend of mine came up to me today and told me he had bought some and he'd be getting in the 2nd break. I was like "What the frick? You? How... When... Dude :\" He knew I was interested, so he offered me to try some after school. I denied, I told him I'd want to be a bit older to try it. But then again, a few hours after that he told me about it on MSN, how he felt, when it started working and such. So now I'm even more interested. Meh.

He's going to get something again after the holidays, so who knows.. maybe I'll just try a bit.

What I want from you is some information, or even better, expirences, what it did with you, if you got addicted or something. I wanna know what I'm up to.

And no, I don't want to try all this just to be cool in any kind, it's pure interest.



Once again, I'm expected a lot of bad reactions, and I do realise that this topic is a bit over the top, but if we can keep it civil, we can keep it serious and open.

    hmmmm well, i warn you do not get addicted, weed can lead to the hard stuff......

    which is very sad.

    -------

    Well i <i><b>DID</b></i> smoke it for about hrrmmm a year or so, its ok it gives you a little rush like, if you sat in a real comfortable chair or led down on your bed and u feel weightless, kinda like that realy, you just mulch out. Do it with friends and watch something real spinny on TV. its hard to explain but once you've done it you'll understand wat i mean. It also depends on the stuff you get, some weed comes in different forms like Solid or gunk bar and then u get the green called bud etc. Solid tastes like tar and is brown, bud is alot better. You experiance will depend on the stuff u have....

    Well ive been in the pot scene and luckly pulled out of it.... dont get pressurised into it. And if you are unsure just dont do it. You may find ur grades will drop at school, you'll start hanging around with the wrong people and become a bit aggressive to people.

    tbh imho dont get into it theres no point... you never know it might just ruin your life

    but its up 2 you at the end of the day

    As my grandfather said, "I can tell a sewer stinks without having to stick my head down the drain to make sure."

    Don't do it, especially when you know there is a chance that you'd get addicted. Why tempt the possibility? It's not worth it.

    GG war on drugs,


    13 is too young in my opinion. I would definatley wait a few years, I'm sure nothing major will happen if you tried it once, but you might like it and your brain and body are still developing.

    Do you smoke cigs or drink?

    Just wait, you really shouldn't be doing any drugs at that age, and if you decide it is something to you still want to try when you're older go for it. Especially since it's decriminalized in your area you have the option of trying it any time you want.


    PS drugs include cigerettes and alchohol.
  • JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
    Well, it's only legal up to 50 gram.. so that's not much of a point. There are no problems with that here. When it's more than 50 g, it's illegal, just like everwhere else.

    by all means, you <i>legally</i> have the right to experiment..

    <b>but</b>, some people are <i>more susceptible to addiction than others</i>. be careful, man.

    Well, I can force myself to not get addicted to things pretty well... so it wouldn't be that much of a problem. There are people just like you and me that have a normal live and job who use some weed from time to time but aren't addicted.

    Edit: Oh crap, esuna is in. Better but on a anti flame suit now <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    jezpuh, you should wait until you are past 16, becuase it has been shown that frontal lobe development is hindered by dank and after 16 it is pretty much fully developed.


    [edit]
    and if you do, I recomend doing a google search on "Gravity bong" and building one \m/__ <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo--> __\m/

    addiction happens subconsciously. you can have a conscious desire, like "NEED MORE WEED!!", but that doesn't have to happen.

    if you're chemically addicted, you won't know it until it's too late.

    that's what i mean. it's medical fact.

    Here's all the info on weed for you (and anyone else) who is curious, I suggest being knowledgable about any drug before trying it. Responsible drug use cuts most of the danger out of the equation, anyway hope that helps.

    the problem is, you might all say "don't do it" but Jez will remain curious about it unless he tries it anyway.
    My first experience wasn't very nice, but I was foolish enough to inhale too much of it... If you really want to you can try a bit, it's really not that much of a big deal, but better wait a bit
    Just don't get seriously into it, it won't affect your health that much but instead your psyche. You won't be able to study properly etc. And when your friend mocks you about it tell him **** off royally

    I'd advise to wait until you're older. You're 13, get your childhood out of the way first, then come back when you're about 17, and i'll say yes, do it if you want.

    Allow me to garnish a few things about cannabis, either from personal experience, or the amount of stuff i've read about it.

    It's less addictive and less harmful than both alcohol and nicotine. Infact, it's probably the least addictive "recreational" drug there is.

    Contrary to popular opinion, it doesn't lead to harder drugs, that's just a flat out lie. I know a <b>lot</b> of people that smoke pot, none of whom take any other illegal substance at all. Infact, i know several that smoke pot who don't even drink or smoke normal cigarettes. This is basically just blatant scaremongering by the government and ignorant parental commitees to try and stop people smoking the stuff.

    I used to get stoned about 4 nights a week, not because it's addicitve, to be honest, because it's fun. I like the feeling, and one day i didn't buy any, and that was it, also bear in mind that this pattern went on for the best part of a year. I didn't <b>need</b> to buy pot like i do cigarettes. If i don't get addicited to something, it's just not addictive, since i can and will get addicted to <i>anything</i>.

    Again regarding your age, i believe that you should be at least old enough to buy / smoke cigarettes if you're going to start smoking weed, it just seems incredibly wrong to do so before.

    And now to a link to a site FULL of information. The vaults of erowid. You can read the cannabis page <a href='http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis.shtml' target='_blank'>here</a>. It's full of information such as what's in the stuff, medical / health issues, people's experiences and the like, it's really a great site. However, if any moderator feels this is not appropriate, feel free to nuke it and i'm sorry for posting it, ok? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well as soon as I find myself screaming for more I can take drastic enforcements.
    But ofcourse, I shouldn't think like that in the first place, but I'm honestly not so worried about getting addicted, and yes, I know that doesn't sound right too.

    Rules are rules, my friends, and even if its legal there (<50g? That's just odd), it ain't here and the vast majority of everywhere else.
