I can only get so "high" and then anything else is a waste.

You get different results with various methods of ingestion. vaping is weak, smoking in between and edibles can put you into paranoia territory.

If I get more than a buzz, I just get anxious.

I pretty much only use it now because I cant sleep without it.

There's a sweet spot with the maximum giggles, euphoria, etc. and smoking more won't really improve it but you can definitely smoke yourself past that point and into a stupor.

Auto accidents go up probably due to people smoking or smoking and drinking at the same time. Definitely need accurate intoxication tests for weed, alcohol and both together.

Most horrific accident in NY a while back was a woman with three young kids in her SUV stoned and tipsy after a get-together with friends. She got confused and entered the Interstate going the wrong way. Head on collision with a pickup truck killing all involved.

I was replying to a guy who said he didn’t know anyone who used weed who was violent. I didn’t bring it up out of the blue.

Maybe you can't sleep without it because you use every day. Try melatonin.

100%. Smoking weed is way more fun when you can get in actual trouble for it.

Then I'll be more precise for him. I've never known anyone who became violent because they smoked weed.

I quit/take breaks often and this usually doesn't last me more than like two days.

I’d be surprised if you did - probably for any substance.

It is easily grown and hard for the government to control for taxes.

Maybe in twenty years it will be like crafted beers are today.

Only thing I hate about weed is regular users seem to unproductive and boring.

I agree and I'm pretty much a regular user

I like to smoke a bit after 10+ hour days and on weekend mornings

what I can't stand is people who can't do ANYTHING without smoking

so basically it should say dont use marijuana if you have a mental health condition?



That is pretty much the standard for anything, except defining "mental health condition" can be fluid, especially based on whatever event it's being applied to. Rather, it should be that over-use of high-THC products can cause mental health conditions or exacerbate current ones (as has been shown in study, after study, after study, after study, after study, after study, after study, etc.

weed is like anything else, if you overdo it then yes it could have negative effects on some people. people with mental issues probably shouldnt be on any substances. A woman in my family that is 68 years old has smoked marijuana almost every day for 50+ years. she will outwork any woman her age and works in a physical job that is male dominated, mostly hispanics now. weed has done nothing to slow her down or make her less productive.

I think people just overdo it. instead of taking a few hits a few times a week they want to smoke weed all day and alot of it.

No, that certainly isn't true of other substances, especially coke and alcohol.

Didnt click link. I dont care if someone takes an edible but weed stinks like a hobos a-hole.

People who smoke it should be beaten with an axe handle. I can't drive down the road without getting a whiff of skunk. Its just nasty.

(For clarification I do not smoke or use edibles).

Weed is a lot like alcohol. It's not bad in people who possess the ability to control it.

The problem is when individuals can't function in society because they want to be burners all hours of the day.

I've yet to meet a person that indulges many times throughout the day and is what society would consider as productive or contributing.

I’ll just say this … I’m 46.

Evey person that I know that smokes weed are way cooler than those that don’t.

I don’t mean daily.
I mean people that will or have smoked or do smoke are easier people to deal with and more enjoyable to be around vs those that don’t/won’t.

Especially females.
