I wanted to rant a bit about smoking, btw. I mean, all this society aspect of it. People use smoking as just the excuse to socialize, be it at work or even at unis. That's really retarded when people need other people to go smoking, and it happens all the time. At my last work, for example, it was allowed to smoke at your place, unless other people around didn't want you to, and guess what? Only a handful of pipe smokers were smoking just because they are used toke it, everybody else still went to "lounge". In groups. Because they were probably too afraid of saying "let's go hang out" instead of "let's go have a smoke". Pah.
Please, check your facts before you post something about this.
Weed doesn't make you stupid...
Alcohol doesn't make you stupid...
Cigarettes doesn't make you stupid...
And stop generalizing, kthxbai.
Also stop looking for facts on the internet use an encyclopaedia.
Oh god... really? This again? In another thread? Ease up guys, no matter how long your forum post is, you aren't going to win each other over.
I wouldn't say either of those threads are glorifying much other than differences of opinion. Which is good, it's healthy... for the most part. Please don't think anybody is forcing you to take part in drug culture, specifically the one being discussed. Drugs can be bad, the same way alcohol can be. But you are only young, just keep your head on straight and don't do anything you feel uncomfortable with.

I am very confused by things like this.
My parents say that drugs, cigarettes and alcohol are not good for me,and then I see here
that people glorify drugs ,alcohol and cigarettes.
Ok, I guess I'm what you would call a 'responsible adult'.
Cigarettes ARE bad for you.
You can take this as a very real truth.
It has been proven time and again that you will eventually end up with some sort of health problem if you smoke them on a regular basis.
Drugs, like Heroin, Cocaine, Crack, ICE and so on are really not good. They are addictive, expensive and can mess you up really really badly. Don't go there.
On to Marijuana. Also know as 'Grass', 'Gunja', 'Green' and various other names.
Opinions on whether it is bad for you vary quite a bit.
It's a 'recreational' or 'party' drug.
It can be smoked in various implements or baked in cake, cookies and other things.
Some people who have serious pain use it as a pain killer and it is apparently very effective.
Everyone who uses it has a preferred method.
I personally have smoked it and eaten it in a cake.
As far as I know, it's not addictive, although some people I used to know ended up not being able to get through a day without 'getting high'.
I no longer use Marijuana, as I have become a security officer.
However, it IS ILLEGAL in most countries.
Alcohol! The so called 'safe drug' for the masses.
Alcohol is a socially acceptable drug.
This doesn't mean that you should go and drink 2 bottles of your favorite alcoholic drink right now.
Drinking is ok, getting drunk is not. This is my opinion.
I've been drunk..... once. I almost did something REALLY stupid and woke up with a hangover that I thought was going to kill me.
Most countries have an age limit as far as drinking alcohol goes. It varies from place to place.
Here in Australia, it is 18.
What you need to do is LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS..... and read everything you can get your hands on about the subject in question.
You will find a lot of stuff on the internet and with some of it YOU will have to decide if it is the truth or not
I don't suppose you have met some long term dope smokers have you? Weed is worse than alcohol in this regard in similar quantities. All that tetrahydrocannabinol floating around in your brain can do a fair bit of damage.

Actually I AM a long term marijuana smoker, and nor did I get stupider from it or had any psychological damage. So that point = invalid, of course nothing is good when you overdo it. Not even apples, so that could apply on anything.
Weed is just a means of enjoying yourself with something not so ordinary(at least in the beginning), it's not very nice when you feel bad about yourself in general though, might even make you feel worse. The only side effect of weed is slight memory loss that varies from person to person. And it doesn't make you stupid like the general population thinks. When you see someone who's known to use weed acting dumb, he's probably just high at that same moment.
Other drugs are bad m'kay. Except some I could name, but enough of my rant.
Drugs are good and drugs are bad. It all depends on how you use them and their purpose. Over using them is usually a bad thing, as is using them in ways they weren't intended to be used.
Its funny when someone says the word drug, people automatically see it as a negative term. Guess what? Almost everyone on Earth uses a form of drug. Tea, coffee, sodas - they all have a drug in them. What do you think your doctor gives you when you go see him for various reasons? Magic pills? No. He gives you drugs.
