Started smoking pot occassionally, progressed to daily.
Eventually got caught, ignored it and continued.
Couldn't get a buzz anymore and started doing other things such as Cocaine and Heroin.
Shipped off to boarding school, and the other following the same path was put under house arrest.

Got caught twice, continued after both times.
Couldn't get a buzz anymore, started snorting cocaine.
Was caught again shoplifting high, and had pot on him, juvy then expelled.

Couldn't get a buzz anymore, started doing heroin, and acid.
Died of a massive stroke at age 16.
And they say it'll never happen, yet I've lost many of my friends.

Yeah it really came to a shock, and I guess seeing him just a couple days before it happened so happy and stuff really got to me. His mom died, that's why he started doing drugs, and he had found comfort and stuff with skating eventually, and was just starting to try and get off the stuff, I guess it was gonna be his last time and he was gonna regress down the drug ladder. You really think that it'll never happen to you, but that's never the case. It's not if it will happen, it's when it will happen. I don't really mind marajuana use, but if my friends start mentioning other stuff, I really try to keep them from trying it.

These are extreme cases which rarely ever happen..
Pot is less harmful and addicting for sure. I am way way too tired to find some sites and explain blah blah, just wait for Cody to reply. But tell me how many people you know that are actually addicted to pot. I know NONE and I hang out with lots of people who smoke. Ugh I can't even think.. huge migraine FTL. Like I said, just wait for Cody to explain, then re-read his post, because he uses too much goddamn scientific words, then you'll be like "LOL OH OK"

Yeah, it's impossible to get addicted to pot chemically. I have friends who smoke pot multiple times a day sometimes, then just stop for a few days or weeks in a row and have no issues. They also don't develop a very high tolerance that I've noticed - maybe it's just because we consistently buy good shit. Also, since pot is so readily accepted here in Grinnell, it doesn't make people feel hardcore and illegal when they do it. therefore, hard drugs are rarely if ever seen on campus. I've seen one person snort vicatin once or twice but aside from that I only ever see cigs, alcohol, and pot on campus. During winter break one of the biggest pot-smokers I know tried shrooms (only kid I know to go so far despite rampant 'gateway drug' use) and hated them, hated the trip and lack of control, so no issues with harder drugs there.
Though ounce per ounce, pot is worse for you than cigarettes, no one smokes fourteen bowls or blunts in a day. If anything you share one or two a day with a few friends - at the height of use that I know of - compared to one or two packs a day I've heard smokers take. The same is true for alcohol, which can really fuck your liver up. No one's ever died of a pot overdose. Also, as I've said, it's impossible to get chemically addicted to THC, as opposed to nicotine or alcohol.
Caffiene on the other hand, I hate. I'm actually addicted to my one or two sodas a day and will ache and get a headache without that fix. My mom gets terrible kidney infections whenever she goes more than two days without soda. Caffiene, while not necessarily bad for your body, will fuck you up if you get addicted then stop having it.

Marijuana gives you every single cancer possible eh? OMG i got toe cancer by smoking pot!

Oh wait, nevermind...
http://psychologytod.../marijuana.html
While all of the long-term effects of marijuana use are not yet known, there are studies showing serious health concerns. For example, one study examined the health status of 450 daily non-tobacco marijuana smokers. They found that the marijuana smokers had more sick days and more doctor visits for respiratory problems and other types of illness than did a similar group who did not smoke either substance.
Findings show that the regular use of marijuana may play a role in cancer and problems in the respiratory and immune systems.
In regards to the respiratory problems, what else would you expect if you set fire to something and breathe in the smoke? You'd get respiratory problems from smoking broccoli too.
even if u dont get addicted u become less social , harder to play sports.
Any proof for these?

I would love to, if you teach me how
ANyway i would not recommend taking any drugs at all. Well its better not to try it and later get addicted to it( even though theres only a very slim chance). Why take it out of curiosity or for fun when you'll gain basically nothing out of it?
But still, Cody's opinions on it would be good.

paranoid thoughts thats is Paranoid schizophrenia . that can be harmful because some people imagine things so hard they will kill themselves.
Paranoid thoughts can be linked through to cannabis use, but that's only a short term effect, but can trigger people with a link of the mental illness. If you have no family history of it, the chances of developing schizophrenia or long term paranoia are slim to none.
There is NO chance of becoming chemically addictive to Cannabis as all the chemicals, including the main potent chemical Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is not addictive to any of the nerves or biological chemicals inside you.
Although you can technically become mentally addictive to it, a person with an addictive personality, such as alcoholisim or gambiling problems could become addicted to it, but in the same way they can become addicted towards chocolate or feeling the fluff on someone's pillow.
Cannabis does not result in cancer or respiratory problems unless you smoke it. Eating cannabis or hash has no effects on your lungs or causes mutation in cells.
Please get your facts straight before downputting the use of this drug. As of all drugs, including pharmaceutical drugs and legal drugs such as caffeine, alcohol and nicotine, sensible use is always the key to tolerance and information about the drug you are about to take for whatever reason is a key factor in being safe with them. Don't believe everything you read about cannabis as there is alot of propoganda about it, for and against the use of it. Always do your research if you plan to use ANY drug.

Once again, I stress that while you do smoke cannabis and yeah smoking's bad and all, you don't smoke it nearly as often as one smokes cigarettes, so the possibility of it harming your throat and lungs is very negligible.
Plus paranoid thoughts are definitely NOT paranoid schizophrenia. Waaay off. Paranoid thoughts are like getting antsy whenever you hear a car go by because you think it's a cop coming to bust you for recreational pot use. (by the way, I've never had paranoid thoughts when high. I think only naturally nervous people do, due to combination or doing something illegal, being in an uncomfortable atmosphere, and generally being anxious ruining a high. Pot magnifies emotions.) That's not a severe psychological problem like Schizophrenia, where you have hallucinations and delusions.
good sources, people, those are interesting

Actually... my psych teacher recently mentioned this. Apparantly there is not really any truth to that. Problem is a lot of people develop schizophrenia around the age that they would start smoking pot and some use it to calm down their symptoms which is why the governments may say that this is true because there is an increased use of pot with schizophrenia, not the other way around like they'd want you to think :\ I'm sure you know this, Frizzle, but bjquick obviously doesn't.
Also remember there are several different types of schizophrenics. Not all are paranoid

Try telling that to Leah betts.

Yea still an on going debate about wherther or not that pot can cause schizophrenia, or vica versa.

Funny you should say that how do you think bob marley died, although that was more because he was a rasta LOL.
Well it retrospect to alcohol and caffeine its not actually physically addictive which both caffeine and alcohol are. Although it is mentally addictive which cant really be measured the same way it is physically, because its like estimating how much someone likes chocolate. They say they love it but do they really? ?Yeah see the point im trying to make. Being mentally addictive to something is alot harder to overcome than phyiscal addictions in some ways because the effects of not having it doesnt result in pain or discomfort its literally your brain telling you you need it, but your body couldn't care less.
