It is less harmful to your health, but if fucks your mental health up hardcore, no motivation also cases of schizophrenia have arose from the method used to grow the stuff (hydroponic). Personally though I don't have a problem with it, stoned people don't wonder around parks assaulting people etc.
They say marijuana is the gateway drug to the hardcore drugs, personally i think alcohol is the gateway to drugs.
That's all folks
I think the media is the gateway drug to drugs..and there have been studies indicating that the severity of the mental problems are usually predispositions which the individual already had, therefore these problems probably would have been symptomatic with or without marijuana usage.
The method used to grow "hydro" isn't the reason why it's so bad for your health, that arises due to the fact that the bastards pump a shit-ton of fertilizer into the water source. This in turn means that any insects that feed off the plant will have a resistance to conventional organic or harm-free pesticides, and a more hardcore chemical (actually several) is used to kill the insects and keep the plants in a state which will maximize the harvest. It's the smoking of these bad-ass traces which munts you up as they break down to form some mean hydrocarbons which you really don't want/need. However the reasoning behind growing hydro is generally for stealth reasons and/or to produce a more marketable product, which is more easily controllable in an enclosed environment.
You'll actually find that if a grower knows what he's doing and he's not purely in the business for profit then an outdoor plant will be much stronger and more pleasant to smoke
Its lolly water...
Beer and rum and coke is where its at.
Beer meaning, Coopers, Little Creatures etc None of this TEDS, VB, XXXX shit.
First time I ever drank, meaning more than two beers was when I was 15, 3 days from being 16. I go out every now and then with mates to parties etc maybe have 6-7 beers, few rummies and thats it... Fine after that. Only time I've been drunk off my tits was NYE this/last year, cant remember parts of the night... At least some hot chick was with me?
First time I ever got drunk was when I was 13, not because I thought it was cool, but because I liked the taste, and the side effects were weird/interesting. Problem was however, as you generally encounter with a cask of wine, that I quickly consumed too much and as it was hitting me I kept drinking more. Coincidentally I also tried smoking cigs and for the life of me I still don't know why, anyway long story short I was fucked up, spewed everywhere. Not cool. Worst I've ever felt hands down! I've never smoked cigs since..didn't drink till halfway through grade 12 and didn't get proper wasted till schoolies.
Now I just drink for mainly the pure enjoyment and taste of the drink, which is generally a really good beer, and hardly ever get wasted. Maybe a 6 pack, two on a bigger night.
