Have you smoked pot?

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Oops, wrong story. It was a dark and stormy night... Oops... Ok, twice, at two different parties, one or two puffs, provided by somebody else. I don't know what the fascination is really either...

Nice topic, jellymonty! Your topic is one of the reasons I love myLot. There are so many interesting topics around and I'm very happy when I see this kind of topics are not deleted for breaking some kind of rules! My answer is YES, I've smoked pot. Not once or twice, I constantly smoke pot, for the past few years since I've discovered it while my first trip to Amsterdam. Useless to say I've been to Amsterdam many times since then, but meanwhile I've discovered that a lot of western countries allow their citizens to grow their own weed plants. I've been living in Spain for the past year and I've met a lot of daily consumers here, people who grow their own pot, and they don't look stupid to me. It's not a thing to try in teen years (I didn't), cause it's very easy to get lost in it. And it's very important who you're trying it with the first few times, the secret is to be surrounded by very close friends, so you wouldn't feel "stupid" or judged. Yeah, pot can do that to you. But once you've got used to it, it's an endless discovery of creative thoughts, very good for breaking imagination boundaries. For example, if you have to think about the creative part of a campaign or if you need to solve a philosophical situation, I think pot is one of the best ways to do it. Of course, needless to say, anything (pot included) should be consumed moderately.

no, i haven't tasted any of these stuff ever since, and i will never try it for the rest of my life. some people tasted it just because of curiousness and no matter how curious i will be, i will not waste my life and money for this kind of stuff.

Wow...I am surprise Mylot didn't delete your discussion by now..LOL. It's pushing their "guidelines". In my opinion, young kids smoke pot only for the reason that their little friends are doing it and they want to be accepted. That's the bottom line.

Hi Jellymont: i have never and even if i have some troubles when i was a teenager and i discuss a lot with my parents there was never a big problem with me. I won't smoke this stuff because first: i don't like to smoke at all and two: because i know that's not good for my health and i don't want to hurt myself. Hope your cousin receives good advices from his parents and friends. This is a normal situaction nowadays and i hope everything will be alright soon.

I didn't really go through a phase like that but I have tried pot a couple of times. Mostly because I just wanted to try it. But after a few times I have tried it, I did not like it and I haven't smoked pot since. I wouldn't want to be the person that smokes pot because my friends do it anyways. And yes, most people that smoke pot look just plain dumb.

I did when I was younger. I enjoyed it. It was relaxing to me. Many of my friends smoke and they really act far more civil stoned than drunk. I stopped smoking years ago mainly because it bothered my breathing and I no longer enjoyed it. Still, it really is not all that bad. The biggest concern is that it is illegal and your nephew could get in trouble with the law if caught.

No. Even if some people consider it as normal, I am totally against it.

I never experienced this Ms. J. But some of my friends did try smoking pot and physically they looked sick and their skin were really dry. According to them--smoking pot brought them to heaven and made them free to think and do whatever they want, fearless and they are in peace. Now two among them were already in "rest in PEACE".

oh,my god, in my country smoking pot is illegal,so nobody will take the risk to have a taste of pot.

No, I haven't smoking friend. I never taste that stuff. Maybe many friends already do that but because I don't like smoking, I never following them. Why we should follow anyone that would make a bad effect on us?

no never have, been around it a ton, landed my cousin in a jail a ton too...lol

I tried smoking pot during my adolescent years, but later realized it's not worth smoking it. Indeed, you feel relaxed and elated but the consequences that comes along with it would make you think twice before smoking pot ever again.

I have smoked once but it was the first and last time... During school days most of my friends used to smoke that thing... In my last year even i tried because of enthusiasm but i turned out to be my worst night mare... I got stoned and i wasn't able to sit or sleep for three hours... nor i was able to do anything else... all i did was laugh and puke... i felt as if the fan is still and the room is rounding around me... it was the sickest day of my whole life time and decided not to smoke that stupid thing ever in my life and havent touched it till this day...

Yes I have, many long years ago. I'm not against pot smoking but there is a time and place and an age. Young people aren't responsible enough to know when not to do something.

I tried it once but I did not like it. Made me sleepy and really useless. I must point out though that pot is a natural substance unlike the other ones which are mixed with chemicals and really does crazy things to you. It is even allowed to be used for medical purposes because it can give you appetite. This is the same as the coca leaf. By itself, it is a natural substance but when mixed with chemicals can produce an addictive, deadly byproduct.

pot is legal in amsterdam and some use it for medical purposes everything in excess is bad everything should be all in moderation including smoking pot.

Yes. Have tried it occasionally during my college years. I don't call it addiction though as I never been addicted to it. Have tried other stuffs too. But been bright enough not to get addicted. I think it part of being a teenager, so many things to explore and too many things to do. But in the end, you will be the one's to know whats good and whats not. I don't regret it at all since its part of my part now.

I dont really know what it is with pot that people love it. I have tried smoking it --well not tried but did it a lot back in college. All it does is that it'll make you lightheaded. You feel like everything is in slow motion and that everyone is speaking too loud. i guess it is just curiosity in your cousin's son's case. Maybe he'll grow out of it. All he need is proper guidance. If he doesnt, well, that is the problem. It usually should stop at 22 or 23. I dont know, but that is how it was for me.
