Do you smoke weed?

[Barba]

You need just one first time to know whether it's gonna be "ok" to you or you gonna get some psychosis. It's a lottery. I mean, if we do/did something, it does not mean it's ok, safe and everyone should do it.

And where did I write that everyone should do it? lol
I was referring on regular and often too young smokers, and negative effects they sometimes experience.
They aren't familiar with weed or how to consume it, they in fact just want to get high.
Also, I just shared my experience.

Do you smoke weed?
I did in my teens and early twenties, but since twenty years not anymore, im not someone who considers it bad, in some places it is now even legal, and for medical reasons it can be legal for example, it can have benefits, and it is more chill then alcohol, i liked it, but i have mental illness, so it would be "dangerous for me" for my health.
Tell us your favourite weed story, what was the chillest you did when you smoked weed if you did

Back in the day hell yeah, but not that frequently and usually it was some friend that was sharing weed with me.

I was rarely the instigator but I did partake on several occasions and I think the first time I puffed a joint I was around
13 yo.

I was an inner city kid and it was going around at the time but 13 is too young to smoke weed fortunatly I only did that a hand full times then otherwise it was mostly during my early twenties.

Good weed story ? well it was terrifying at the time but looking back its kinda funny.

I was around 22yo and a old friend of mine visited and brought a big bag of weed with him.

We had been smoking for few hours and had smoked most of that bag and we were absolutely barbecued stoned out of our minds.

Suddenly I hear footsteps and voices talking outside at the front of my house. I walked over and peered carefully through the blinds to see there was couple of Police cars parked front of the house and 2 or 3 Police were walking up the driveway.

I was so stoned and paranoid and I totally freaked out thinking oh shit we are busted so I ran into my bedroom and hid in the wardrobe.

Next thing I hear the door bell ring and Im thinkin holy shit how do they know we have been smoking weed.

To my suprise I then hear my friend open the door and start talking to the Police.

It turns out there had been a bad car accident in the street and the cops were going door to door to see if anyone had witnessed
it.

My friend kept cool when telling the cops he hadnt seen anything and fortunatly they went away, but how they didnt smell the aroma of the bag of weed we smoked and that they didnt see my stoned friends red and dilated stoner eyes we must got lucky or they just couldnt be bothered.

Phew close one Dude !

Nope, I tried it once many years ago.

No, I can't, but I probably will when I retire.
I picture myself as an old guy, on my ranch, smoking a spliff, slowing down some time and reflecting about the finest moments of my youth.
Lagano.

Looks like a hell of a plan, lolz. Why "can't you"?

[Insuperable]

Nope.

As a guy who doesn't smoke or drink I don't see what's so worse about weed compared to cigarettes and alcohol.

These are such drugs like everything else. Remember, in the 50's the heroin was still legal. It just depends on our laws/society what is okay or not. Europeans drink such a quantity of alcohol like nobody, its pretty normal here, but it would be alcoholism everywhere outside of Europe. I have talked with a german guy who migrated to USA and americans called him alcoholist and he did not understand why.

In South America the amerindians used cocain very often, because it was part of their kultur, in Eurasia the nomad shamans used magic mushroom, in the medieval Europe everyone drank tons of wine every day. Drugs were always with us since humanity exist, the problem is starting when you dont know your limits and if you dont know it then anything can destroy you, even the legal drugs.

As a said when i grew up i saw these things like cocaine around myself, this is an ordinary thing here like a painkiller. I'm not referring to my family, but my dad's friends, my friends and friends of friend etc. Its just question of socialization and kultur that what kind of drugs do you consider "not a big thing". Dont worry im not a junkie and i will never be. And i can tell you most of europeans addicted to something, at least cigarette, porn or alcohol. This continent is a real Sodom and Gomorrah in every way.

I tried Cocaine a few times in my 20's. I was playing guitar in a band in clubs and pubs and it was offered to me.
It was nice quite nice actually , but too expensive to buy so I only tried it 3 or 4 times , its the strongest drug I ever tried, I have never injected anything and funny enough I never even tried exctasy despite its popularity.

Highly responsible job, and in general I like to be fresh, don't need any substances to make me feel better, can't stand ciggies either...but...I'll be cool grandpa..

Answered similar question in another thread. I don’t smoke weed. I have tried it, and it didn’t do much for me. So, now that my curiosity was satisfied, I’m no longer interested in it.
Plus, it’s illegal in here for recreational use. For medical use, it was technically legalized in 2013, but it has not been eliminated from the Table I of High Risk Drugs, and as such, its use is prohibited.

I have to admit that I tend to look down on people doing drugs more than on drunkards, though since I don't drink anymore I don't like drunkards either, but they're in another category from drug consumers for me. just a peasant thing probably, since drugs were non-existing when I grew up and then they became very taboo over here while if you don't drink alcohol even the women ask you if you are ill or what's wrong with you, everybody drinks at least a bit over here, women included.

I was about to write something similar about heavier drug use. I don’t think is necessarily a “peasant thing”. I grew up with similar mentality in urban area, that doing drugs, is really bad. I believe it might be a generational thing. Alcohol use was much more common before compared to drug use; drugs were seen as something taboo (especially injectable ones like heroin). Mainly associated with lowest tier of the society, used by criminals, prostitutes, and so forth. And that it was a social disease.
As for the rural area, yes in there the people always had their homemade booze. Having a glass of spirit, before eating was normal. Or a glass or two of wine.

but I see this trend with weed and drugs on youth on here, alcohol consumption diminished a lot for teenagers and people in their 20s compared to my generation, they do drugs instead

Tobacco is replaced with weed much more than before.
As for drugs they become much more common now among youngsters and yes, in urban areas is more prevalent. And it’s not so much of a social taboo like it used to be.

Before one used to hear about car accidents only made by those who were driving drunk. These days, more and more cases of accidents made by young drivers, high on drugs. Synthetic ones became more common.
Most known case is that of the 19 years old boy, Vlad Pascu, who killed two students after running with the car into a group of pedestrians, while being on combo of 6 drugs.
Also, in festivals like Untold, clubs, etc. drugs are used.

When i tried cocaine for the first time, i absolutely loved it, ive never felt anything like this before, i felt like im invincible and omnipotent, like a godly spirit in a human body and it scared me as hell. This intensive feeling is the trap of cocaine so i dont really use it and i hate this world around myself.

Well I tried it around6 years agon when I started university. There was this party for the new students of BME (Gólyahajó) at a party ship (A38) and after this party me and some friends tried it. I was so drunk I didnt feel much, but I was definitely more confident for a while.

What if it did?

So, now that my curiosity was satisfied, I’m no longer interested in it.

Any other curiosities?
