Yes, I have some advice, but first a question. What is your GPA? If it's below a 3.0. then stop smoking it until you have at least a 3.0. I have known too many people who ruined their future opprtunities because of pot. First it was only on weekends with other peoples' stuff. Then it was their own stuff. Then they'd smoke it during the week. Then they'd come to school stoned. Then they'd smoke it AT school, or skip school to get high. Some of them even dropped out, none of them went to college. You SEVERELY limit yourself when you do not take the fullest advantage of your education. I don't care if what you want to do doesn't require this or that -- it's the fact that you'll have CHOICES. So whatever you decide, NEVER let it get in the way of your schooling. TRUST me.
If you start to feel like getting high is controlling your life (in little ways -- it's hard to explain without it sounding like a big deal, it's much more subtle than that -- but if you begin to eschew other activities because it will get in the way of buying or smoking pot), STOP. It isn't worth it!!! Also, be very careful about hanging out with people who smoke it too frequently, because you will probably be influenced by them. Again, it is subtle. Trust your gut feelings.

Secondly, know that smoking it WILL hurt your lungs. I recommend eating it. It is stupid IMO to suck smoke into your lungs. It is harmful. You're killing off all your nice, pink alveoli. Who knows what other body systems it might affect, because not enough is known about it.

I hope you find clarity in this matter.

In BC they just made possesing small amounts legal, so i guess thats a small step to decrimilaizing it

*packs bags* So, can I bunk at your place until I get a place of my own?

I don't know about the part about EATING pot, but I agree with this statement. Pot is stupid and it CAN ruin your life.

Advice from a veteran smoker...quit! Better yet, don't start. Being normal (not high) is good enough, and less confusing.

Yeah, I agree. It's really kind of a time waster. I don't have time to waste anymore!

my gpa is 3.42 and it has raised actually a bit since i started which is odd if you think about it.

[Lizra]

It will go down eventually , if you keep numbing your mind.

[gimli7410]

or will it? i mean im never feel really affected in school after i do it on the weekend, i also do my homework on the weekend which isnt hard to do and i have done it every week since school started and i havent found it hard at all. but i geuss veteran smoker knows best. im still on that 1 month no weed thing suggested by IR.

That's good since you just started it last night hey?!

Good for you on the gpa! Make sure it stays that way!

I was only an occasional smoker until last august when my appendix burst, and then i started smoking daily (after the surgery, of course). it helped. a lot.

from about then to the end of this past march i was smoking 3-4 times every day (plus frequent brownie binges). most of that occurred during my final semester of grad school coursework, and it didn't negatively affect my grades or work at all. my GPA even went up.

it's not good for everyone, but it sure worked for me. i haven't smoked i almost six months, though, and i really don't miss it. i couldn't do it now anyway if i wanted to, since my job requires me to be fully responsible for the lives of several people (plus if i got caught i would lose my employer-provided housing, which is definitely not worth the risk).

some people can handle it, most can't--just like all currently-legal drugs.

Gosh, I see nothing wrong with occasional and responsible use. I had my first joint when I was 14 and smoked my way through high school, managing to stay on the honor roll for all four years. I'm now 40 and rarely smoke, although I usually have some in the house.

One of my favorite ways to spend an evening: a glass of premier cru burgundy, a spliff, and a James Bond film (preferably w/Sean Connery).

yer lucky. personally I have found pot is a lot less fun as I have grown older. I think my brain chemicals have changed or something because when I was a teenager it was so much fun to get as high as you could. Now it just makes me feel paranoid and stupid and everybody looks ugly. So if I do it its rarely and its usually alone (unless Im using it to enhance.... well nevermind... ). Either that or I end up doing it when Im drunk anyway which is a waste. Youll smoke an old shoe if someone sticks it in your mouth when yer drunk.
