First off don't speak on weed if you haven't ever tried it.  I can't stand fools talking shit on weed when they haven't even experienced it for themselves.  I ain't saying that I am proud of it, but I sure as hell am not ashamed of it.  I have smoked weed for 7 years of my life and it has caused good and bad.  I ain't gonna lie like a lot of stoners, that shit does cause problems in your life.  Not huge problems, and nothing a strong willed person can't overcome.  Anyway man quitting for one month isn't gonna make much of a difference.  For like 2 years I was pretty much high 24/7.  I quit one time my senior year of highschool for wrestling, and that was for one month.  Then I never quit again for more than a little over a week until this time last year.  I quit for a whole 3 months, the first quarter at my school.  I was expecting big changes in myself.  I thought I would be more motivated, and less lazy.  I thought it would be easier to pay attention in class and easier to read.  To tell you the truth I didn't notice too much of a change.  But when you do quit and then only smoke every once in a while you just become retarded when you are high.  Like before when I was high 24/7 I could do anything when I was high just as good as I could sober.  Shit I could do things better high than some sober people could.  I used to take calculus test high as fuck and ace them.  But now I get retarded when I smoke bong rips.  I can't do any homework high.  Anyway I quit again just yesterday and I am gonna try to not smoke for a long time and try to get my shit together.  But seriously man, if you are gonna quit you might as well quit for longer than a month.  The hardest part about it is sleep.  It is hard for me to fall asleep without smoking weed.  Anyway goodluck.

Amen to that Grundy... I feel ya about people speaking on it when they haven't tried it... It can really piss me off... and yeah I had the same sleeping problem when I try to quit... that is easily the worst part for me...

and good luck with quiting for the month Tech... my advice is just try and stay active so you don't think about it...

Peace

Well, you know what I can't stand? I can't stand when people assume just becuse I'm AGAINST something, I haven't tried it.  Are you naieve enough to think I've never smoked pot? Why is that? You think you need some degree to do something stupid, or something? I've smoked pot.  I've also seen what it does to people, and honestly, I can tell you  from the outside, if you think you could function BETTER while you were high, you're crazy.  Now, I'm not trying to insult you, but that's just how it is.  It is physically mentally and emotionally impossible to be 'better' while you're intoxicated.

I never assumed that you haven't tried it.  You are the one who is doing the assuming.  I just put that statement out for anybody who has never tried weed, yet disses it.  It was in no way directed towards you.  I have no idea who on this board has or has not smoked weed.  Anybody can type anything on here.  And I never said that I could function better high than sober.  I said when I was high I could function better than some other people doing the same thing sober.  I gave an example with the calculus class.  I ususally was high as a mutha fucka doing all the homework, I was high most of the time I went to class, and I was high for every single test.  I was one of the best in class, and many people came to me for help.  Many of these people rarely if ever smoked weed.  And it can make you function better at certain things because you are more used to being high than sober.  This dude on my HS basketball team used to get high before every game, because he said it made him play better and be more relaxed.  These are just examples to show that you can function perfectly fine on the influence.  I bet many many rappers rap better when they are high rather than sober.  You know that over 60% of the NBA gets high before games?  And by the way, many many people smoke pot.  Many people you would probably never believe smoke pot.  Many of your parents used to smoke pot.  People are a lot more laid back when they smoke pot, and not so damn uptight about stupid shit.  Man if it were not for pot I may have run someone off the road because of road rage.  Pot helps me calm my nerves and makes me a lot more peaceful.  Many people who are against pot, are against it because it is illegal, and only because it is illegal.  So I want to know from you trauma, and everyone else against it, what are your reasons.

well the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. If you are in denial about your problem... then let that be a sign to you that you have a problem.... the first thing they told us in Human Services you must be able and willing to change your life style but the first step in doing so is to realize there is a problem and ask yourself "what am i going to do about this problem?''
once you have help yourself...you can help others!

good luck on your quest!

LOL @ this guy trying to tell me Marijuana's "allright".  Man, have you read anything about it?

1. antimotivational syndrome - this is just a polite way of saying most potheads are lazy as hell.  You get caught up in smoking, and being 'relaxed' as you call it all the time, and can't function propery, start having problems at work, school, etc. don't want to do anything.  Scientific studies, not just my word.

2. Fertility problems. - Lets just focus on men.  Several studies (including one by the University of Buffalo in 1998) have shown conclusively that a. Marijuana (THC, specifically) causes Spermatogenesis (low sperm count), decreased number of Leydig cells (which make testoterone) and that even the Sperm that is created has a harder time fertilizing the egg! Sperm seek out eggs by using cannabanoids, which THC effectively destroys.  

3. If you use Marijuana consistantly, you're 3 times more likely to have psychotic problems.  25 times more likely to have severe psychotic symptoms, and 12 times more likely to be institutionalized for psychotic symptoms.  Bon appetit!

4. Marijuana Impairs lung function (you can't breathe as properly, usually your lungs can't expand by an average of 8% less than a healthy individual)

5. In 2002, Fried, Watkinson, and Gray discovered that smoking more than 5 joints a week produced a decline in IQ test scores.  The problem is reversable though, and it probably doesn't cause long term damage.

6. Another study this year on folks who had been using pot an average of 23 years each showed that it increased their likelyhood of having memory problems, with it getting worse and worse, at a higher rate than the normal population, as they got older.  

7. After you smoke a joint, until the effects wear off, you're 4.1 times more likely to have a heart attack.  

8. You said that marijuana keeps you from committing road rage.  Well, Friedman and Glassman in 2001 showed that marijuana and alcohol (but no other drugs!) actually INCREASE the likelyhood that you will commit a weapon offense.  

9. Marijuana use decreases blood flow to the Cerebellum, which is responsibile for memory, motor functions, etc. etc. etc.

10. In 2000, it was reported that marijuana aggravates tumor growth, compared to placebo'd patients.  

I mean, I could go on and on and on, and it's your choice, smoke if you want... I just think it's stupid for you to say there's nothing wrong with Pot.  If you had done any research at all, you'd know that's not right.

O.K., I'll write more later, when I have more time.

I'm a christian, and I believe we shouldn't smoke them at all... however, most scientists agree that smoking OCCASIONALLY isnt' very harmful at all.  If you're habitually smoking though, you know, several days a week, then it's probably controlling your life more than you think.  Most of the problems with it are associated with a couple areas:

1. Anti-Social behaviour - Pot causes people to feel (or literally be) seperated from the pack

2. Health Concerns - Pot is a poison, plain and simple, how else you think you feel 'high'? It's poisoning your mind, that's why you trip off of it.  It's been associated with countless brain problems, as well as lots of cancer problems (just like regular smoking)..

3. Memory, motor problems - it affects the areas of your brain that deal with memory and motor senses, that's why you can't see as clearly, think as quickly, move as carefully, etc.  

4. Criminal problems - it is associated with a general loss of control, which leads to criminal problems.  twice as many crimes are committed under the influence of pot and alcohol as are committed to get money to buy pot and alcohol. Remember that

1) Pot has never ever once been linked to kill a human being.

all those statements that your wrote- who the hell came up with them?  A lot of those things that you stated  are things like this, that I don't know the word, but I will give you some examples:

All Nike shoes are black.
The pair of shoes I bought are black.
Therefor I bought a pair of Nike's.

All potsmoker's are lazy.
I am lazy.
Therefor I am a pot smoker.

All christians attend church.
I attend church.
Therefor I am a christian.

See my point?

Of course there is going to be studies where they post information such as what you have stated.  There is also tons of information that posts good things about weed.  That crap about having psychotic problems is just that- straight crap.  How the hell can you have an accurate study that can prove that?  C'mon Trauma I know you are a pretty intelligent person.  You just cannot prove something like that.  There is way too many variables in that test and it would take years and years of testing and many many people would need to be tested.  That is straight bullshit.  The thing about the lungs.  Sure if you don't ever get any exercise and just smoke pot all the time your lungs are not going to be in good shape.  But like I posted previously it has been stated in Sports Illustrated and said by basketball players in interviews (Charles Barkley) that over 60% of the NBA smokes pot.  I would bet large amounts of money that I am in better shape than over 60% of our nation.  So a study shows that pot and alcohol increase the likely hood of committing a weeapons offense, but no other drugs.  Again bullshit.  Yeah alchol will probably make it more likely, but pot?  Give me a break, people high on pot are way calm, peaceful and relaxed.  And to say no other drug increases that likelyhood.  Hahahahaha.  Cocaine, Acid, Exstacy, Mushrooms, speed, crack.  C'mon man all those drugs would have much higher chances of someone doing something violent.
 I could go on and on too.  And I never said that there is nothing wrong with marijauna.

I ain't gonna lie like a lot of stoners, that shit does cause problems in your life.

Pot gets a bad rap because people just believe every damn thing they hear.  I am 22 years old and I have smoked since I was 15.  I am a senior and Cal Poly University and will graduate with my BS in Business Finance in June.  Do you know the percentage of people in the United States that have graduated from college?  Its not high.  Too add to that I have 8 years work experience in about 10 different jobs.  2 jobs I have held each for 2 years too.  I have pretty much financed my own way through college.  Do you know the percentage of people my age who have done that?  I gaurantee its not high.  That claim about anti social behavior, well I have met many many people just through pot.  So throw all that crap out the window that you read about negativities of pot.  It is the person themselves that makes their life what it is.  Learn to control your own life and not have it be controlled.  That is fine that you do not smoke it, but don't believe all the hype.  The government obviously helps fund studies which show negativities about pot.  The government does not want it legalized.  You know why?  It isn't because it is really bad for you.  Hell cigaretts and alcohol are way worse for you.  The reason is money, money, money.  If pot became legalized here is just some ways it would screw with the economy:

1) The cotton industry would be wiped out.  Hemp is a much stronger and better product than cotton.  Hemp lasts a lot longer.  Think about how this would effect the clothing industry.
2) The cigarette and alcohol industry.  Think about how many people are involved in these industries and how they would all vote against the legalization.  There would be less consumption of alcohol and cigaretts.  Budweiser and Marboro both fund C.A.M.P. (Campaign against marijauna Production)  Think about bars and nightclubs losing much business.
3)Pot is the number 1 cash crop with annual sales of $32 billion.
4)the thousands of people who make a living off of growing, selling, gaurding, or are just involved with pot.
5)Millions of arrests are made each year due to pot.  Think about how many police officers, judges, prison gaurds, DEA's, etc. etc. are employed thanks to marijuana.
Have I ever read anything about marijuana you want to know?  Of course I have.  The thing is I don't believe everything I read/hear/see and you should not either.
