just sends me sleep or makes me sick (especially the smell of it) thats why i dont do it

Smoking weed once made me feel suicidal, that's why I don't touch the stuff any more

You guys hav had some bad experiances with weed, Me i smoke alot but you should always regulate something likle this. Drugs arnt a problem until they get out of control, aslong as i still have the power to say no, ill be fine. and there is no such thing as the Dopamine system, it is just a chemical. drugs that make you feel happy release large amounts of seratonine into the brain synapses, this means that the synapses are always firing in a certain sectino of your brain(we'll call it the happy part for now) this is why you have a downer, there is always some seratonine in yout synapses but the body regulates it, imagine that there is a dopamine/seratonie gland in your brain, when it is all used up it is still all in your brain waiting to be sucked back in again, so a downer is just you having none of this left to help you synapses fire. This is jsut what i have been told(hope i got it all right)probably a real lamens version of it or sonthing. anyway fucking with brain chemistry is well not good for you, but hey when i stop having a goot time doing certain drugs, then (for me) it is time to stop. for now.......may the good times roll.

p.s f i have got this wrong(or somebody has a different opinion) give us a shout,

What if you loose the power to say no, what then?

Cheers for that Professor Susan Greenfield, nice to see you're pushing the boundaries of controversy again.

999

I used to smoke weed all the time and when I look back at when I worked at Pontins for a season there was not one day when I wasn't stoned.

 

Now though if I have a pipe (I don't smoke anymore - tobacco that is) I just get really paranoid and end up feeling like I am trying to get through something rather than feeling chilled and happy.

 

A couple of my mates have also had the same experience and now we no longer smoke.

 

It's bizarre how you can be so calm with something and then all of a sudden gradually loose the capability to enjoy something as you get older.

 

I miss getting stoned, I used to absolutely love it and the laughs I used to have with people. But I don't enjoy it anymore.

 

If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it.

wow you guys are so cool, good to see that you give encouragement.

flowers accepted.
