Various negative and positive effects. All in all its less harmful than Alcohol. But is surrounded my more stigma and has less of a lobby for it. If they started taxing and selling Marijuana crops, a lot of money could be made. I'm just not sure why they don't.
Because government is there to protect people from their own stupidity.
Sometimes, but I'm sure you don't want to get into that.

I happen to agree with Arwarman.

It makes you high and because it's illegal you get paranoid about the cops, also you get "the munchies".
But you need to fight the munchies, eating kills your high although everything tastes much better and you can't tell that you're full, STAY AWAY FROM FAST FOOD PLACES. I blew twenty bucks on weed the thirty at Mcdonalds.

Pot affects different people in different ways, I experience loud wooshing noises as if my ears are up to a conch. Playing left4dead is an impossible affair often shooting louis because his tie and shirt kinda resembles what a zombie wears. Things don't want to stay still I get incredibly aroused (Sex feels amazing stoned.)

As far as my view on weed, alcohol and the like is that they're all OK in moderation, but anything that you begin to DEPEND upon, can't be that good if it doesn't keep you alive.

Also, if something has the ability to fuck with your head, I generally try to keep its use as small as possible... its the only thing we have to define reality, I don't wanna break it. If you've ever gone 2 or more days solid without sleep, and with caffeine, then you know what im talking about.

P.S. Don't ever play Half-Life 2 on Ravenholm after the aforementioned 2 day sleep-deprivation in the dark whilst alone...you will shit bricks. >.>

Why am I reminded of a Pablo Francisco joke with you last sentence?
"Would you like a mint before you go into the showroom?" "Yeah... wow! That car is great! I'm going to hump the tailpipe!"

Anyway, I wouldn't eat in an "MD" anyway. You'd be better off ordering out for a nice pizza or buying some burgers and grilling them up before you get stoned.

Marijuana fucks up your life... don't do it unless you live somewhere where it is legal.
Or if you have no job, or are not worried about the negative effects of it.

Drugs are bad... m'kay?
I'm going to have to go with this. Marijuana's bad unless you have some kind of illness that may require the medicinal use of it. Then, evidently, it's okay.
Its funny to see people who are that brainwashed.

most legislatures view marijuana as a 'gateway' drug. Statistics show that most people that take heavier drugs started out with marijuana. The theory is (and I don't personally agree with it) that if you cut out the gateway drug, or at the very least limit the ability of the masses to get it, you will cut out a number of people that would 'move on' to Heroin, PCP, Crack, Cocaine, LSD, what have you. Thats the current rationalization in a nutshell.

To the people who say "Buht alcohol is t3h w0rse? y are is illegal?!?11one," I would recommend you read history and see what happened when alcohol was made illegal.

//J.
The war on drugs is no different from prohibition of alcohol. Trying to stop people from doing something by banning has never worked ever anywhere.

I don't know why people don't understand this; when prohibition was enacted, millions of people who wanted to do nothing more harmful than have a drink were turned into criminals overnight. They were distilling their own liquor, they were smuggling, trading and selling it, and they were most importantly drinking it, and they were only considered criminals because now the law suddenly did. Those crimes were not caused by the alcohol itself, they were caused by the laws against the alcohol.

It's the same thing with marijuana; millions of people, more than anybody is really aware of, just like to smoke pot and have never harmed a single person by doing it, yet we are considered criminals for our harmless recreational activity. We are not violent thugs, we are not dangerous drivers, we are not rapists or murderers or terrorists. We just like to smoke pot. Me sitting down with a nice joint full of goodies is no different from the guy cracking open a beer when he gets home from work. It's innocent, it's harmless, and most importantly, it's my fucking business and nobody else's. Nobody should ever get to tell me what I can do to or take in to my own body.

In fact, I feel the same way about all illegal drugs. All recreational substances that are currently illegal should be made legal. A user is a person making a free decision for themselves, and an addict is a sick person who needs help. Neither one is a criminal and neither one can be helped by being fined or thrown in jail.

...

The name "dimebag" means that you're paying ten dollars. That's the price of it.

The amount of weed you get for that ten dollars varies depending on where you're from and what kind of bud it is. If it's just regs, you get a gram for ten bucks around here. If it's dank or dro, you'll get half a gram for ten bucks.

The most common amounts I hear people buying in are as follows. It's rare to see people ever pick up more than a half for personal use:

Gram
Eighth (about 3.5 grams)
Quad/Quarter (about 7 grams)
Half-Ounce (about 14 grams)
Ounce (about 28 grams)

The eighth and gram usually serve as price indicators; common slang for what kind of bud a person has will go from "thirties" to "sixties," in reference to how much an eighth of said pot would cost. Generally an eighth or quad is the best deal if you're picking up an amount to hold onto because you get a bit extra for the money you pay. Say you buy a quad of dro for 100 bucks; it might have been a lot of cash to drop at once, but you're getting 7-and-something grams at once and if you had just bought the bud a gram at a time, you'd have paid 20 dollars seven times, which is 140 bucks. Think of it as like buying in bulk. :D

If you smoke it once in a while, its awesome. If you smoke it everyday, you just get dizzy and hungry. Moderation is key.

The question is though, once you legalized Marijuana, what's next? Next up, people will want to legalize crack [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_cocaine], extasy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extasy], or any other drug. Where do we stop from there? There has to be a limit to what drugs are legal and what drugs aren't.
Why exactly does there need to be a limit on what drugs are illegal? I thought we lived in a free-market country? If we live in a country where alcohol and tobacco (two of the worst drugs for you) are available, why can't we have crack, heroine, and ecstasy? The double standards toward drugs is mind boggling. Is it because those drugs kill you faster? Well, alcohol is responsible for... many deaths, but is allowed to be advertised. Cars kill millions of people a year. Is it because they are addictive? Well, nicotine is one of the worst addictive substances out there. So are caffeine, sleeping pills, cheese, and refined sugars. Anyone, please anyone, explain to me how there can be any sort of argument for keeping ANY drugs illegal that can't be made toward ILLEGALIZING all the items I just listed. Other than the "status quo" argument, which is bollocks to begin with.
Yes, drugs like crack cocaine and ecstasy do kill you faster, but who knows, maybe those things will be legalized someday.

But to my knowledge, no country has legal crack, ecstasy, or heroine, so those things are probably banned for a reason. Caffeine, sugar, cheese, and such can be addicting just as much as tobacco, alcohol, or heroine sure. But compared to crack and ecstasy, those things can completely break you down.

As far as I know, apparently Marijuana is scientifically proven to be just as bad as tobacco or alcohol, which is bad, but nowhere near as bad as how addicting and destroying crack can be. Crack can kill you and it can completely change your life for the worse because of its addictiveness. If every drug was legal, then everyone would be high all the time and people would be dieing from overdoses and abuse.

Some things are banned for a reason, like incest or cock fighting (I'll admit that those aren't the best examples), and there are rules and structures to keep a society from destroying itself. But who knows, maybe those drugs you listed will be legalized because enough crack-heads want it legalized. That doesn't change my original point that if those drugs are legalized, they should be treated like any other legal drug and should be taken responsibly and in moderation.

so why is it illegal again
Because the production of it cannot be regulated. You can inspect beer factories, but you can't exactly go to...let's say Mexico and find the local marijuana factory and see what goes in that shit. And even if they made it legal, and factories started producing it cleanly and it could be inspected, people would continue to sell it with all kinds of fiberglass...or whatever they put in it. That's why alcohol is still legal...people don't exactly walk around selling their homemade brews with who knows what in it...as far as I know that is. As a man much wiser than myself once said, "Don't smoke weed...you don't know what's in it cus we smoked it all back in the 70s"
Weed destroys people in the long run.

When I was that age I was very opposed to marijuana, but even as an advocate in the present I still feel that if marijuana were made legal here in the states the minimum age to legally buy/possess it should be 17 or 18. It should NOT, however, be illegal for anybody to smoke it. If you are mentally equipped to operate a car without hurting yourself or others then you're perfectly capable of smoking it.

It's funny I found this thread because the other day I came across this, the "Drug Experience Thread" over at GTAGaming.com. Has some very detailed stories about just that subject, so it should answer your question pretty well.

I smoke weed pretty often, and I know pretty much about growing them too.

What weed does to a person varies from person to person. Weed can't kill you, weed is more safe (in medical sense) than coffee. You can't get medically addicted to it, but anything can be mentally addictive, like games.
Weed can cure many diseases, it is used as one of the most safest drugs naturally occurring in nature. Weed can cure insomnia, can ease chronic pain, helps with some eye issues, can help overcome anorexia, weed has actually blood cleansing characteristics, helps with depression and the list goes on and on. The only really bad thing about weed is that usually it is inhaled as a smoke, which rarely never is good, but weed has been proven to be useful with persons with asthma when they inhale steamed pot.

When I smoke, I usually smoke so that I get a good warm feeling. Takes the edge off from a stressful day, helps me relax and take things in a lighter sense. For me weed has done nothing but good, I'm pretty sure it saved me from my deep depression and helped me get my life back, by giving me my smile back after I had a year long depression where I lost weight and was only 50kg (im 23 years male). Now I'm healthier than I've ever been in my life, partially thanks to weed.

Smoking too "much" can INDEED cause severe hallucinations on some people, like me. Some might get no hallucinations and in some very rare cases weed can TRIGGER (not cause) hidden mental illnesses like OCD (have a room-mate who suffers from it).

When I smoke too "much" weed, I start to drift from reality, everything becomes like a dream...I can't tell the difference between my thoughts and what is really happening around me. I start to black-out, and might even slip inside my head completely and in what point I've smoked too much and can only sit peacefully inside my head and wait for the effect to fade away and hope I don't do anything stupid while I'm at it.

Never trust a person who says weed is a drugs which can kill you, make you stupid/slow and that no one can hallucinate from it....for the love of god, weed has the psychoactive substance...THC in it.

If you plan on smoking weed, do it in a safe place with close friends and use with respect. Some have stronger reactions from it.

Hope I helped.
How exactly do you steam it?
my guess? sealed plastic container+microwave

Taht's an intersting read. It's given me a lot of interst in trying Marijuana (not sure wether that's a good or bad thing though).
