Alright.
So I am a twenty one year old fella. I'm in college right now working on that bachelors degree. I already have my associates. I don't get into any kind of trouble at all. I feel I'm pretty level headed. I'm no nerd either...lol...Seriously. Maybe I could be because I play videogames and post in group forums...:wink:...But that's about it I think. I also felt pretty nerdy recently as I even bought a headset for online play. Damn, if I didn't feel real nerdy wearing that thing.
...I just don't want people to think that I am a really sheltered individual...lol...But anyways...
I've never, not even once, smoked weed. Not even a puff. I've been around PLENTY of people who do it. I've always got asked to do it, but I always passed.
I feel like I've grown up with a really negative look on weed. I'm not sure why. It has always had a negative stigma to it, to me. I did not care at all that my friends did it. But, I didn't want to.
My girl even wanted to. Which I told her that I didn't think I would like that she did very much. I don't know. Just something about knowing that my girlfriend smokes really bothers me. It seems weird to me. Just picturing her chillin, smokin and getting high really does get to me.
But recently, I'm starting to think about it differently. I've seen a few posts here or there about it. I've seen Josh Howard talk about it. Grand Theft Auto put it back into my head. Comedians on TV always seem to talk about it. And now I've been sitting here thinking about it, and I might actually want to try it.
Especially, considering how alcohol is another drug that seems to me to be so much more dangerous than weed. And I do drink every now and then. I mean, I don't hear much problems associated with weed.
So tell me my Operation Sports Brethren...Whats the deal?
Why would I, or anybody else, grow up thinking weed is such a bad thing?
Why is it that there are so many commercials about not smoking weed when there supposedly not many risks involved?
Why is weed illegal here in the US and not in other countries?
Why is there such a negative stigma associated with it?
Am I alone when I feel funny about potentially having a girl who enjoys smoking?
What side effects can there be? Health wise? Psychologically?
Can you over do it?
I've heard that it really can lower some motivation you have to do things. Is that true?
Why is weed cracked down on, while another drug that seems much more harmful in alcohol is completely legal?
Just let me know what you know. Any experience you have. Others have had. You could answer any question that I posted even if it's just one that you can answer, that would be great. Or just let me know ANYTHING that comes to your mind on the subject.
Anything would help. I'd appreciate it. Just trying to get a better understanding of it.
I'm not sure if this is a topic that is open to discussion here on this site..... as again... it seems like such a taboo topic. So if this thread would ruin the "image" of Operation Sports I apologize and have no objections to the locking of this thread. Just trying to get a better understanding of Ms Mary Jane...
