bx_racer Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 mm well im not sure if smoking pot in moderation is a sin or not if it is then pot. but if its not then niether, it really gets on my nerves when people act as if beer is some sort of bomb or smoking is like jumping off a building. as long as you dont depend on it, which also gets on my nerves or cant control yourself smoking and drinking are cool. oh also taking into account laws and whatnot.

Didacus Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 They say drinking a glass of wine per day is good for you; nop problem drinking alcohol regularly, as long as it is not in excess. Smoking cigarettes is not that bad in my opinion, as long as you don't smoke too much (half a pack per day being the max in my opinion, but prefrerably less). Pot on the other hand, cannot be consumed unless it is in excess. Everytime you smoke pot you mental capabilities are strained and your emotional outlook towards the world is distorted; hence you are 'drunk'.

infinitelord1 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i believe marijuana is a matter of the soul.......it has negative effects on it. It is a hallucinagen (however you spell that) making you see things that arent really there.......hence you are seeing lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to say : Actually [url="http://www.answers.com/topic/hallucinogenic-drug"]this link[/url] corresponds with what I've heard in the past. [quote]hallucinogenic drug (həlū'sənōjĕn'ĭk) , any of a group of substances that alter consciousness; also called psychotomimetic (i.e., mimicking psychosis), mind-expanding, or psychedelic drug. The group includes mescaline, or peyote, which comes from the cactus Lophophora williamsii; psilocin and psilocybin, from the mushrooms Psilocybe mexicana and Stropharia cubensis; and LSD, synthesized from lysergic acid, found in the fungus Claviceps purpurea (see ergot). These alkaloids have also been produced synthetically. Newer hallucinogens, such as PCP (phencyclidine, or “angel dust”), a drug originally used as an anesthetic, and MDMA (“Ecstasy”), an amphetamine derivative, were common in the 1980s. [b]Marijuana has hallucinogenic properties but is pharmacologically distinct.[/b][/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YMNolan Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 tough call. I picked the second option but 30 seconds later I'm not so sure it's the right one. Either way you're hurting your body, you're depending on something else to "calm you down" or "relieve stress". I don't know too many irregular pot users. I guess there are some people who can control themselves and use it once in a while but a lot more common are potheads. And I've seen some friends have their lives destroyed by a dependancy on marijuana. I've really grown to despise it. [quote]Pot on the other hand, cannot be consumed unless it is in excess. Everytime you smoke pot you mental capabilities are strained and your emotional outlook towards the world is distorted; hence you are 'drunk'.[/quote] This satement makes a lot of sense to me. I can enjoy a beer because it's refreshing and I like the taste, then not have another. At no point was I "under the influence". I've never heard of anyone smoking up because they like the taste. You smoke up because you wanna get high, no other ends to those means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
