O.o. Ents are a lot of things, but certainly not "always complete and utter twats". There's a reason that Good Guy Greg is a marijuana user. In my experience, it's those people who discriminate against marijuana and it's users without ever having tried it who have a much higher twat factor.

Lawyers, judges, police, doctors, scientists; these people are often the silent cannabis users. When I started using cannabis I had a circle of friends who smoked everyday. They went on to the following job titles:
Computer Engineer Data Infrastructure Engineer Software Developer Professor of Information and Media Studies Elementary school teacher Director of Educational Technology
Thats just off the top of my head. The DEA states that nearly 50% of Americans have used cannabis. The only ones who will admit it publicly are often people who don't have anything to lose from being connected with an inappropriate stigma. The rest are the silent majority.

12 million Americans have been arrested for cannabis possession since 1965. Maybe you would like to explain to these people why its okay to arrest them for a victimless crime so that its easier for you to be a bigoted sociopath.

Like I'm hackin on the ground gasping for air if I take a respectably big hit. Anyone have any idea whats wrong? Weed costs too much to smoke more but it's good for relaxation and I hate having to dread the coughing. Do I have weak lungs or something.

There's a lot I didn't cover to be honest. I kind of got fed up with not being able to post so I hastily posted the thread ^^
Otherwise I probably would have added a section on vaping, tricks to find dealers/supplies, and how to avoid getting busted. Maybe I'll add those later on
Please do.
Ever grow your own? What do you use to clean a pipe? Also include prices of pieces and what not to use (pop cans, foil, etc)
I've had some pleasant experiences with the jazz tobacco but I think my friend ruined himself with it. All he thinks about is getting high and is really edgy now, I can barely stand talking to him because of how annoying he has become. The plant didn't cause this, his own attitude did and he wants to be seen as the "stoner"..
The only issue I see here is that the blog condones illegal drug use. I'm not saying it should be illegal, only that it is; and that it's probably not best to be talking about illegal activity on the site that's the flagship of western esports.

Prices vary from region, there was a great site that had various price quotes and even a price chart overlaid on a map of the U.S. Never smoke out of foil, everytime you burn something on the foil, bad shit will get into your lungs. Same with popcans. If you can't buy a piece, buy an apple and make an apple pipe. It's fast, easy, and relatively healthy compared to all the other alternatives to smoking. You can just google that.

Next Lan ETS?
Great post Orb. I love to get high with some friends and relax. Watch some good music, or a movie.
I'd wish I could get high in the day more. Weed tends to get me energized and then very tired, but when it's the day I just feel energetic without the down. I love to cook and do all sorts of thing. Weed just makes everything more awesome, it seems to me. The only people I've seen had bad experience with it is because they were overly nervous about doing an illegal drug! It's too bad, marijuana is so harmless.
I've seen quite a few people do drugs for their first time and all of them had great experiences. Smoking out of a joint/pipe can be rough at first though! I suggest a water bong for first time users. Make sure you try it in the right circumstances though: during the weekend at your friends house where no one will disturb you, not in some sketchy park outside at 2am
Some of them never wanted to try, and hey that's their choice, but I don't know what their afraid of. I'm a curious person and I've tried most drugs I can get my hands on but weed is the only one I've done repeatedly because the absence of side-effects/hangovers ect. Often I smoke so much and sleep 4 hours because I need to go to work the next day and think, damn if that was alcohol I would be fucked up today.
Been actively smoking for what seems like forever - recently stopped because I decided I can live and have fun without it, although I do miss it some times. Food certainly doesn't taste as good anymore
For anyone that's scared of getting caught, try to remember that you won't. I and everyone I know that has smoked has been ridiculously careless and easy going about smoking, I don't know if we've been lucky or if our community just doesn't care, after all we do live in Canada
I would just like to echo some of the other posters who have mentioned that weed can have long term side effects. The stories you hear about guys who started believing in conspiracy theories/UFOs/whatever aren't completely based on nothing. Obviously those are extreme cases, and quite rare too, but the point is that weed can have those effects (to a greater or lesser degree) on certain people, and even more importantly it's impossible to know if you are one of those people until you've tried it a few times.
With all that said, I still support its use in general. Personally my experiences on weed have slowly gone from incredible to fucking awful and so I've pretty much stopped doing it. But it's definitely a drug most people should try at least once.
Awhile back my roomie said he was going to get me and the gf high one day...and didn't. My curiosity is slightly piqued by this thread, I must admit. My previous experiences with cannabis have all been combined with alcohol, and if I was high I didn't know it. I would honestly welcome an alternative to alcohol though, that stuff is just not good for you.
Is it true that americans can be arrested and go in prison just because they have little ball of shit in their pocket as a simple user ? Because i saw a documentary where US policemen knew where the dealers were, so they just waited at the cross of the street to arrest guys who bought the drug, arresting them and they didn't stop the dealers cause they could arrest many ppl like this. This is fucking shit, in france policemen can't do this, you can't sell cannabis but they have to prove that you sell it, and they can't arrest ppl in the streets coz they got cannabis.

The technical classifications differ from state-to-state, but where I live (Missouri), mere possession of any amount of marijuana up to 35g is an A misdemeanor, with a maximum penalty of one year in jail, while possession of more than 35g is a C felony (which is a maximum of 7 years).
As a future pharmacist im not all for smoking weed (not that i havent) but i would prefer people on weed than tobacco as its a lot less detrimental to health. But great post. It was generally pretty much correct, good to know uve done basic research over this.
The only reason its illegal imo is because people do stupid things wen high, much like drunks. But alcohol is just an accepted social drug.
