What are your opinions on weed? I'm thinking about trying it?

Question

Okay so I've never smoked weed before and I'm thinking about trying it. What does everyone think? Should I give it a go or not? And if I do then any advice?

I'm amazed by the amount of close-mindedness I've seen in this comment section.

Although I'm not a frequent weed smoker, I have smoked like maybe twice a year. I do grow my own for the fun and give it away though.

Find out beforehand which kind of high you actually want. Do you want an energetic head high or a relaxing body high?
Do you want Sativa or Indica?
Know what the best time is during the day to smoke, for example, Sativa and when is not the best time.
Educate yourself 🙂

Start off with puffing on a joint instead of ripping a fat load out a bong.

You won't like the taste or even the smell.. But at least you'll have the experience afterwards and only you will know if you like it or if you're about that life.
I feel like you're just very inquisitive and want to try it just out of curiosity and you'll probably not dabble in it again afterwards.

So get yourself some Maui Wowie and do it if it's what YOU want to do.
It's not gonna kill you.
The THCa actually turns into THC when lit and it links into your body's own cannibinoid receptors. Yes, your body actually has little weed receptacles inside of it.

Don't like the idea of THC? Then get CBD..

You get tinctures, oils, edibles.. There's a ton of other ways to fly this kite.

If you want to try it then do it. I smoke everyday. I also get nauseous all the time.. And its helps so much! I can eat and keep food down. And It makes everything better. It doesn't make you a "lazy person" or anything like that its not a "gateway drug" if your lazy its because your lazy.. If you are going to use other drugs its because that's who you are. People who think differently are just ignorant and have never done any sort of research. Its better for you than bad!! It helps white blood cell count and kills certain types of cancer cells. And it promotes creativity!
I've smoked since i was like 16. And im still a certified pc repair tech. Was a dog nutritionist for a few years. Have been store manager at most jobs. Or at least a supervisor. And now i work for myself. Sorry for the rant. But nothing about it makes you a lazy stoner and its definitely not going to kill you.

What are your opinions on weed? I'm thinking about trying it?

I personally don't recommend anyone try mind altering substances like marijuana under the age of 25 because I've read studies that show negative results on brain development.
I've only had experience with thc creams by accident and didn't even know I was getting a mild high because I was at work and the jar wasn't labeled. I personally use cbd creams like I use arnica because I like natural and homeopathic pain relievers.
I highly recommend thc products if you have medical conditions that grant the use of heavy medications though. In my experience in healthcare I've seen a lot more success with patients using marijuana as a pain reliever as well as sedative as opposed to big pharma products.
I wouldn't recommend you smoke weed though if you are going to use it though, smoking anything isn't good for the human body and would recommend you use a liquid form of thc or make some brownies lol. Juat be safe if you do decide to try it and if you have no experience in getting high, and make sure you're someone with trust. Sometimes weed doesn't agree with everyone and you could feel sick and or have a very bad experience so just be aware of the possibilities. I know a lot of my friends have gotten extremely sick temporarily when they tired weed and don't go near it as a result.

My advice is to do it with people you are comfortable around. Pace yourself and go slow with how much you consume, since being to high can be uncomfortable. Weed isn't an inherently addictive substance, if someone becomes addicted (dependant) it's because they usually have a problem getting addicted to things already and smoke 24/7. If you use it casually you will be fine. Maybe ask a friend who smokes where they get it, or go to a dispensary if you live somewhere that has them. Stay hydrated and make sure you have snacks nearby:) let me know how it goes if you do go ahead with it.

Aguysopinion4799 · Answer

Okay, well I myself have never used the stuff but I have a number of friends who have used it in the past and stopped or still use it and they use it in moderation, from what I notice, they just get a really calming effect from it, Cannabis is surprisingly common in college and Uni and schools, I am in college and one of my friends came in high, but he was fine.

I don't have any terrible opinions on it, the drug can be used medicinally after all for cluster migraines and other extremely painful things, so it has it's benefits, it is also less damaging than tobacco. I would just suggest that if you do decide on using it, don't let yourself get really addicted, but realistically it is a similar thing to say with any drug like ordinary cigarettes or alcohol.

You are 18 and I knew people who used it at that age, I am not saying it is something you are expected to do, I never decided to, I never smoked, I went for Vaping for a few years but then quit.

You make the decision how you feel at the end of this and at the end of the day, if you do try it, it's just a new experience in your life :)

TwistedTube · Answer

As a starter, I'm dutch and a lot of people when thinking about the Netherlands they're thinking about weed. Funnily enough, here where you've been able to use and buy weed perfectly fine and legally for years and years, most people actually don't think much about it nor use it much. It's actually mostly used/bought by foreigners and tourists. That being said, I've got experiences with people using weed as well. Weed can be all fun and games, and there is no genuine harm done in simply trying it. Despite that, I still disadvice it. This would be due to the long term effects. Of course, you can technically stop at any time as there is no physical addiction from weed, however, mentally that's not the case. When you consistently and frequently use weed, it starts affecting your behavior and thought lines, mainly saying; you start thinking in a very lax manner. Everything is "OK". This sounds like a great positive, however; when you're in a bad situation and you think its all "OK" and will blow over, you'll never do anything about it. When you don't think much about anything you do, as it's all "OK" you'll very frequently bother other people. And when they say anything about it, you won't think much of it either. After all, what you did wasn't much so they're just whining, right? The examples I gave mainly comes from my sister, who has been smoking weed since she was about 14/15 years old. You would always notice a great change in her behavior every time she was quitting with smoking weed, but as she would return to smoking weed, so would her behavioral issues return too.

lgutierrez0813 · Answer

It really depends. Do you want to smoke weed just to try it or do you have a medical reason?

From personal experience, the first time i smoked weed was when i was in my senior year of high school. It was all due to seeing everyone else doing it and it being readily available with my next door neighbors. However, i was also epileptic, a portion or my right temporal lobes had dead tissue which would provoke the random seizures. The weed actually diminished the amount of seizures i would have in a week.

I stopped taking medicine because after like the 14th medicine, i was on the lowest dose and it felt like when i was walking, i was actually levitating. I told my neurologist about the feeling of levitation and was told i would be put through extensive tests to determine if i was the perfect candidate for brain surgery. I continued smoking weed until about 2 months before the tests and went back to Lorazepam.

The seizures came back at the normal rate of 2 seizures a day for 7 days. It wasn't until i had brain surgery that all my seizures came to a complete halt.

In my opinion, try it. Its not bad to try it. If you decide to continue doing it, just do it a few times a week, dont make it a habit. Set a limit of spending or amount of times you will smoke a week or a month.

Id actually prefer you try weed instead of cigarettes. Weed won't kill you whereas nicotine will have you looking all dried up, turning your teeth yellow and have you saying how you must quit smoking as you are smoking one (i know a lot of people who will tell me to never smoke cigarettes as they themselves are smoking one in my face). Good luck, weed is now becoming much more acceptable than before any state made it legal.

HawkPerception · Answer

Tried it 2 times. First time I tried it was at a beach cottage. Literally everyone was doing it and peer pressuring me lol. I said... fine. But just one toke (I learned what a toke was that day). It sucked... my throat became dry as hell... I felt no difference in mentality (whereas I always feel the effects of alcohol) and I just got really tired really fast. I literally went to sleep in a hammock coughing 24/7. Said I'd never smoke again and the only way I'd even consider weed was doing edibles. I hate smoking and genuinely think humans are just not meant to do it.

2nd time I tried it was in the pill form for my ex's birthday. A friend of mine gave a couple to both me and her and I thought... why not? Could be romantic. Turned out muuuuuch better than than my first time. Put me in a different mode, but I didn't even realize it until we had sex. That was literally the best sex I've had. It was on another level and I felt everything so intensely. We had sex for hours that night.

I'm definitely not addicted, but I would definitely be open to doing it again with a future partner once in a while.

AmandaYVR · Answer

Brain development finishes around 25, so they think now, so best to give it a pass for a few more years. I know you said you've tried it now, but don't make it a habit. You need to harness all the energy and brain power you have right now. You're in a learning phase of life. Demotivation and stress-management fixes are not really ideal. You should allow yourself to fully develop before you muddy the water with cannabis.

But as an adult, it can be a healthier alternative to pharmaceuticals, which are very over-prescribed in America (and highly addictive.)

rievious · Answer

I smoke weed and I think you should try it. There are many kinds. My favorite (bc its the most manageable high) is THC vape. I started at 20% THC and now I get the highest I can. There are also 3 kinds of weed. 1 is Indica which relaxes you, 2 is Sativa which is meant to increase your creativity (I don't like it. I avoid that kind) and 3 is a mic between the 2 which is a good beginner. Also I like vape bc it doesn't leave behind a smell. It tastes awful but it's a very controlled high by how much you breath in. Also vape I find lasts 4-6 hours. Drink water too so you don't get the hangover effect.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

It's just makes me tired and hungry. I don't get it lol. One of my closest friends turned into a huge pot head and this girl literally couldn't go anywhere or do anything without smoking. One time she made me go to this dude's house I don't know with a bunch of his friends I didn't know and just awkwardly sit there while they smoked, didn't talk, and listen to music I didn't listen to. I stopped hanging out with her because I just didn't enjoy being around her anymore. If you do end up liking it, that's cool but try not to let it take over your life. Overall I just think pot heads are boring

Pete671 · Answer

Get a sample from a legit source, don't use street stuff it may well be laced with really horrible additives, smoke the smallest amount you can, see how it goes, if you swallow the effects kick in after about two hours, so if you do consume, again just a tiny amount,,,
be somewhere you are physically safe, with trusted friends,,,
Think "grass" not "weed", the THC content of modern cannabis is way stronger than when I started, so again, just try a little and see how it goes,,,
Make sure your motivation is positive, ie for recreation not intoxication,,,
Do not combine with alcohol,,,

NyceGuyFinishingLast · Answer

Don't know if you will like it unless you try it. You will either hate it or become a pothead. My friends all brag about them smoking it but it doesn't entice me at all. I don't care for the smell of it honestly. But, I also don't smoke nor drink. I deal with my stress, anxiety and pain head on. I don't need meds, drugs, or alcohol.

MCheetah · Answer

I don't smoke weed and think you shouldn't try it. It's mostly for losers and legitimately sick people. That's it. That'd be like me asking you to become an alcoholic or do crystal meth or cocaine. You should never start a bad habit. Especially one that's not at all good for your mental or physical health. Tobacco is only slightly worse, though.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Shrugs just try it if you want. And don't get bothered by the hypocrites who say it's fine to drink but not smoke. And the karen prudes too lol.

Biologically ya should be fine since 18 it's better if over 20 tbh. But it's much worse to do at 14 or something when brain is devolping there is studies that prove it can off set things.

Leavesbound · Answer

If you must I recommend traveling to a location where recreational use is legal. Then go to a shop that is legally licensed to sell it and buy an edible. This way you have control over the concentration and quality. If you are buying some from a friend etc you have no idea how strong it is or the quality or what poisonous chemicals they sprayed it with. Also next time you might get a stronger does thinking you go the same and this can temporarily mess you up.

I recommend following your genuine interest. I wouldn't recommend any substance for any other reason than that. And start with small doze if you will try.

Anonymous · Answer

Eh be careful where and who you get your weed from. Sometimes the quality of weed sucks depending who and where you are buying it from. I notice I don't get high if the quality of the weed sucks, but it the quality of the weed is good I get a good high. Be careful though, sometimes people put not so good chemicals in their weed and thinking it will get you a better high.. it doesn't. Try edibles ;)
