Don't. It costs money(especially for the good stuff), can land you in jail, can be a demotivating influence if you don't have your act together and basically isn't healthy. That being said, I wish all the stoner monkeys weren't so far away; it makes Red-Eyed Monkey Fests a logistical nightmare and limits my mooching possibilities. :)
:stupid:

Be careful. MODERATION is the key when you start young. Many a stoner burnout started off as an A student. (Yeah, including me)

That said.... West Coast So Cal Red-Eyed Monkey Fest! Who's interisted? Who's close? I am in Pasadena. If you are close PM me!

I had some nice hash the other night. Anyone else like hash? What's your preferred method? Ever done anything silly like "hot knives", "hash under glass", etc?
Knife hits.....good stuff. Reminds me of college, my roommates and I sitting around the stove with butter knives stuck in the burners to heat them up and then toking out of a piece of notebook paper rolled into a cone. Good stuff. Hash is great and has provided me with some of the best psudo-memories of my life..... :thumb: :D

when i say i want to try it, to simply means try. once or twice kinda deal. ive got a pretty good friend who smokes almost everday who said he'd help me out my first time. i seriously doubt i'll do it alot, since ive got the whole texas state championship defending thing going on right now. plus, ive tried cigs before, 3 or 4 times, then made myself quit... so im not too worried about getting carried away.
T,

You don't know me, but I know who you are. As someone > twice your age, I've committed my share of sins, and I work in your town. So I'm gonna get in your business here. You're gonna make your own decisions, and they're your responsibility. But don't talk about any illegal activites or other indiscretions on the Internet. There are a lot of lurkers. Your name, your team, and a lot else about you are pretty easy to figure out.

BTW good luck w/your racing. You've flown by me before and I hope to see you do it again.

Busted.

Seriously, though, this is good advice for EVERYONE here, but mostly those who are under 18 and/or still living with their parents, or in a community, or are actively racing.

When you start talking about stuff like this on the internet, all it takes is one guy who stumbles on the site and notices that he knows you, to have the whole town/community nail you as a pothead.

The older you get, the less likely people will talk about you or even care, but the fact is, if you're racing on a team, you have to be a good example. Fathead sounds like he's being a pretty good guy and just warning you, but what if he were an anonymous lurker who loves to gossip? Someone casually mentions to your dad/teammate/teacher that he heard somewhere that you might...

Just something to keep in mind.

If you are trying it b/c of anything said in this thread, that is a stupid reason to try it. Trying it at 16 is also not smart.

I'm not saying that it is a bad thing to do in general... along the lines of alcohol... but if you tried alcohol at 16 b/c of what people said on here, that would be stupid too.
:stupid: :nope:

That being said, if you make up your OWN mind to do it, then I have no problem with that. Just don't do it b/c of something you read on some website somewhere.

Ahh, yeah, that's right. Everyone takes what people in these forums tells them, and keeps it in the back of their mind forever...

I've read this post for a real long time and most of you seem the way I am about this issue. I think pot's straight if you do it in moderation. I have two aunts, ones a pot-head who does nothing but smokes and ones an alcoholic. Both have ****ty lives. I dont buy anyone who says pots not that bad for ya, cuz I can only think what damage a hot burning joint is on your lungs. I should also add that I never touched cigs... theyre just beat... buttt a good cigar is really hard to resist from time to time. What I want to know is the truth on how bad marijuana truely is for ya? I can never really get a straight answer. Some say a joint is 6 cigarettes, other say its not worse for you then breathing around a campfire. I think theyre both full of ****... but i wont know for sure till someone i trust sets it straight.
I love puffin', but I dont know about you guys, I get tired as Sh!t. Most of the times unless Im by myself or with 1 or two friends ill choose beer over weed any day.

If you are looking for reliable information on how harmful it is then try looking at scholarly journals, particularly medical or scientific journals. Your local college or university library will have what you are looking for. Don't listen to pot heads or cops or doctors. You're going to find a ton of misinformation when it comes to the truth about pot and you'll need to be able to see through the BS. And research MANY sources, not just one or two. Good luck.

And as others have said already... Bong It! It cleaner and tastier. :thumb:

my guessalogic tells me that it might be your brain had a hard time understanding/accepting THC for your virgin experience and the time thereafter (using those receptors for the first time)...after that your brain realized how good the feeling of MJ was and decided to sit back and enjoy...

It took me a solid 5 smokes before the first time I really got stoned. You kind of feel like you do until you realize what it's really like, once you get used to it. I've cut down a lot lately and I feel a lot less worthless, but mostly its because its too stressful to try to cover it up all the time. Weed is a ton more fun if you AREN'T doing it so often. If you smoke just once or twice a week you get A LOT more high without smoking yourself retarded. I smoke almost excluisively when riding these days. I love it.

the reason smoking cigs causes so much cancer is the fertilizer's the tobacco farmers use. they use cheap commerical ferts, that are actually radioactive. puff that and its gonna be cancer for sure.

i think if pot was legal, less people would smoke it, and more would try eating it. The biggest reason people smoke weed is because its so damn expensive. tossing a half ounce into a cake mix isnt that feasible for most potheads. so we load bowls and get toasted, much cheaper than eating it.

most all negative consequences stem from pots illegality. granted, it is habit forming, and maybe even down right addicting to some people, but theres lots of substances that are addictive and widely accepted. (sugar, caffine, booze, nicotine)

i say to each his own, with respect to others around you.

and also no pot is alike. one bag will have different effects than the next. it all depends on how well it was grown, the strain, and the drying/harvest process.

maybe the first two times you smoked it was some crazy ass buds, and the next times it wasnt so crazy of a sachel.

also tabacco as a plant actually soaks up the radioactive material in the soil and the air...causing it to have even more than from just the fertilizers...it's picking up all the toxins that were buried and just dumped in the earlier days...yummy huh?? :drool:

When I haven't been on the pipe for a while I always get the paranoids. I've come to accept it now as I don't smoke regularly. It is a depressant, but learn to handle it and you'll be fine. The downer is always made up for in spades by the upper in my experience.

oh snap... i have no clue who you are. yes yes, i know about the dangers of the internet, but in this case, i frankly dont really care. I've already decided to try to participate in the racing for my team as much as I can, but because of money issues, im not going to be able to. I already know what the outcomes of my actions are going to be, and i've already excepted them. if anyone dosent beleive me, because im too young or stupid, PM me and i'll explain more. i guess i think differently.

Down to the other stuff... i tried it today... it kinda made things more fun, i guess. couldnt ride in a strait line for a while until it kinda wore off. i dont really plan on doing it that often... i honestly didnt really even feel that much different. for about an hour, i did feal fearless... then i shined the crap out of myself and went home.

was it worth it? i guess... one of those things you have to experiance yourself..
would i do it again? meh... it was cool, but it wasnt THAT great. maybe in a few months, but not now.

oh, and fathead, say something about RM next time you see me, dude.

gravity bongs...sooo bad for you, but if you want to get stoned off your ass in a couple minutes....it will get the job done, just a 2 liter bottle, a bucket, fill the bucket with water, cut the 2 liter bottle at the bottom where the line is, poke a hole in the cap, wrap tin foil in a funnel, stick it in the hole in the cap, close cap on bottle, stick bottle up to the cap in the water, stick weed in the funnel, light, and pull the bottle up, it sucks the smoke in the bottle, almost a pure white smoke cloud inside the bottle....once the bottle is pulled up to the edge of the water, unscrew the cap, put mouth on the bottle, and push down in the water, it crams all that pure white smoke up in to your lungs, and gets you faded off your ass...my fav

Exactly!!! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM CIGS! I quit, and it sucked. It took me three years. The problem is that they suck you in without you ever realizing that you were getting hooked. Once you realize you are hooked, its too late. I started in college. I would bum one from a friend while drinking. I am sure its a similar story to most people. All of the ex-smokers I know have the same POV: You are either a smoker or you are not. One a day still means you smoke.
I mention this as a warning and b/c it relates to the direction of this thread. This is the first time I have mentioned smoking in a bike site. I did it only to prevent someone from starting down the same path that I did when I was in high school. IMHO, trying a butt is like trying Coke or H (I haven't done either). There just isn't any reason. But anyway, weed is nowhere near as bad as butts are as far as damage to your lungs goes. My guess is that the negative info on pot smoking is a 1 to 1 hit/drag comparrison. Problem is that you will never take as many hits of pot as drags off of a butt. But burning stuff of any sort in your lungs is still bad.

Just thought I would bump the best thread ever back up to the top...

Oh man, I BROKE my GLASS! ACK! I am sooo bummed because she isn't even a year old. A nice thick two footer. She was sitting on my desk and I turned around in my chair and just caught her with my elbow and sent her to the floor. Fortunately only the glass base broke so the tube is still intact. I can use her, but I can't set her down.

Oh well, I guess it's time to go to the head shop.

you just gotta search and find the right pipe...I've got this pipe that a friend actually bought for a replacement of another one he broke...I've done the same thing as you like 100 times with this pipe...no joke...and most of them have been done out of a jacked up toyota onto the concrete...nothing's happened to the pipe so far...

Man I always forget the pipe inbetween the legs when I get out...someday I'll remember...probably be when the pipe breaks on it's last jump out of the truck... :p

I *had* a piece like that. I keep my stash in a old Cane Creek fleece shock back. I opened the dore to my truck, it fell out, and all I heard was jingling glass. I was so heartbroken that I kept the remains.
I had dropped it I don't know how many time without the bag. It just needs to land the right way. I used a back-up until I could make it back to the shop in VT where I bought it. Kind of like the Salmon returing to Capistrano. But I recently discovered a porn shop near my house that sells glass.
I don't worry about the lap thing cuz I also have a dugout. Whoever invented them is/was a gebius.
