I few years ago I had used it probably about a 1/2 joint a day and I am still paying for it.I used it for a couple of years like this and I have friends who have done it and still do it, these people have no problem with their lives, some lazy some forgetful and so on. I don't think that it was created for our pleasure in smoking it, and if so, it is what Chocoholic said, once or twice a month.

I believe our body's were created to be used as tools to our earth, and what types of tools we make of ourselves to the earth is our own choices, laws can try to stop us but we have our own free will and will do what we want regardless.

Eating for example, our body gives us a signal as to when we are full, some keep eating other's stop and some never let themselves get to that point at all. I believe not getting full is what we were made to be like. As I said before, our bodys were made as tool's, we need food like gas, you feed bad gas (junk food, to much alcohol) your body will start to show signs saying it isn't running right anymore, but you feed it all it is required to have and not an over/under consumption, our bodys will run just right. Which brings me to the point of marajuana, why would it be created for us to use on an everyday bases if we become forgetful, lazy, moody and not to mention it is a depresant.

Please don't get me wrong, I am not Anti-Pot but I do have some strong views. And who knows why it was really created for us, it could be a relaxer, pain reliever, or maybe it was only ment to make paper and clothes out of or whatever.

My thing ith marajuana is it in the end brought about a very saveer depression, not the kind where you sleep all day,but I was up all night, never eating anything, not eating and sleeping itself are bad enough reasons to get depression amonge other things but I was reactiong in a very self destructive way towards myself and everybody else too. I saw a psychyatrist about it and he out and out told me that there are just some people who shouldn't ever touch it for whatever reason. He was a very open Dr. and I got the feeling from him he wasn't against smoking either.

What all I'm saying comes down to is, if marajuana was for spiritual purposes, how come I can't handle it? why are there people who can't cause it makes them sick every thime they do and people who get bad headaches from it? Is it that their God or what have you, doesn't want them to be spiritual? And if it is ment in "your" religion as somthing spiritual you were probably raised with it and most likley you live amonge a tribe of some type, I used to live accross the street from a church that was allowed to have marajuana as a part of their religion, but I can't see as soon as sombody picks up a joint they all of a sudden become spiritual or their spirituality takes on a whole new leval, thats what yoga/meditation is for, you have to work at achieving spirituality by soul searching, if this was the case certanley everybody would have been doing it for ages now

Im not trying to offend, and I am truley sorry if I am. I'll tell you now, if I had it in me to just sit back right now and smoke one I would for sure, but thats just the way the ball rolls I guess,and maybe while I was smoking it if you had asked me how I feel it does for spiritual purposes I may have given a much differant answer. I can also tell you, in all the time I havn't spent smoking, I don't feel any less spiritual at all, if anything I have found myself more.

Fajita, I know what you were trying to say, I hope you didn't think that I was critisizing you or saying you were too harsh
And when I said mild drug addicts I was thinking about people who occasionaly use them. Somehow I feel that Marijuana is a 'spiritual' drug, and even if you say it's bad for you it's still better than smoking, wouldn't you agree?

I can't understand, though, why pot isn't legal and alcohol is. They are both drugs. They both can be abused. There is really no difference to me. It is now said that a glass of red wine a day is good for you, and some of you say you have heard that limited weed use also has benefits. There are certain personality types who become addicted to anything easily, whether it be booze or drugs or sex or food...they are trying desperately to fill some sort of emotional need. But we can't outlaw food, can we? (I'm sure some govt. agency is trying to think of a way right now!) I wish we could help those people who turn to the easy things to escape. But I have heard that everything is good in moderation, even moderation.

I do, however, have strong onions about the "legalized drug pushers": certain doctors, pharmacists, and of course, the drug companies that have those unbeLeIvEable ads on TV-"this drug is not for everyone... it may make you hemorrage from the ears uncontrollably, have severe seizures, and make your eyes fall out of your head. Ask you doctor if this drug for acne is right for you". The docs get kickbacks if they prescribe certain drugs...not the ones best for you, but the ones that give them a free vacation!! I'm not saying all docs, but I have realized, unfortunately through experience, that modern medicine is first a BUSINESS, that exists to make money. I'll get off my soapbox now before my blood pressure goes up.
